I made Soccer Physics and several other somewhat successful games in the 2010s. Today, I'm a hobbyist game dev focusing on making freeware local multiplayer games using #Godot.

Otto's Basketball Game, version 1.0.0, is now done :--) The game is freeware, and you can play it on (or download it from) Itchio.
ottoojala.itch.io/ottos-basket...
It's a simple one-button basketball game with lots of silly details and a good kind of homemade feel to it.

I worked on the score and message system for my (not-so-small-anymore) mini-game. There’s now a countdown at the start, a silly remark when you crash, and praise plus a big bonus for reaching the finish line.

#ScreenshotSaturday with some good news and bad news. Inspired by my new side project, I decided to redo the physics of this project's character, too. It feels now meatier, and you can do stuff like grab yourself without the game breaking. But I also need to fine tune the 8 stances, once more...

Besides game dev, I'm also a web dev & music producer.
Ten years ago, I made an open-source PHP script for free music sharing. It lets you script full JS animations on your album pages.

I'm having friends over to play some local-multiplayer games tonight. Are there any new(ish) 4-player PlayStation games I should know about? The PS Store search is still shit.

It's #ScreenshotSaturday (or at least in Japan it is?). I think I spent most of the week just tweaking things, but I'll try to get back to making game assets next week - feel free to share any ideas you may have for new office furniture, wall decorations or whatever! :--)

The first video game to replicate how nice it feels like to break thin ice, will get tens of downloads on Itchio, let me tell you.

The game now prints you a card with the all the statistics as you exit the level. Kind of fun I think :--)
I made the character heavier, too, so it's easier for them to move stuff around.

Started redoing the level end view. This is very much a work in progress as I still need to find a nicer way to display all the stats, but the game now tracks what stuff is thrown in the hole. An obvious game mode would be to require a specific item to be taken with you as you exit the level. Right?

Putting low-effort easter eggs in games since 2014 :'--)
@ottoojala.com Hey there, Otto! My friend and I play Soccer Physics almost everyday, and today for the first time we saw this green player, which we supposed was an easter egg. Now we wonder what is the chance of this happening and if there are any other easter eggs. Ty for all this hours of fun!

Copy-pasted some code I'd written for Autopeli and got random seeded rooms working :--) This allows you to replay rooms, or share a generated room's seed with a friend so they can play the same room.

🥁 About a month ago I asked how are y'all managing your sound effect archive...
🎺 And today I'm sharing SLAMY with the world!
It's a super-simple sound library manager w/ built-in mixer for quick edits. It's a great help for me, and maybe for you too?
