Grab your Wii Fitt boards and steering wheel set ups, Summit Drive is a game for only expert cigarette fueled late night taxi drivers. Give it a go before it comes out soon 🚗
3000 people played Summit Drive's demo.
13 days left too until the release! Crazy!

Had a moment today in the thick of some development stress and took a bit of a break. Coming back however, I had this overwhelming sense of gratitude, I'm very lucky to be doing exactly what I want in a time of economic uncertainty and I know it's not the same for others.

(sound on) It's crazy how much audio adds to a game! Implemented Pete's wind audio for dynamic movement sounds.

It's world diabetes day today, I've had type 1 diabetes since I was 15... so for over 22 years (🫣)!
When I drew myself for the new Wax Heads trailer, it's the first time I've been more explicit about it by showing my libre blood sensor on my arm. 👀
