When we kill enemies in Scaravan 66 we have different types of "death animations" that are relying on physics to do most of the fun stuff, like flips.

Reworked the Burning Rubber upgrade from Scoville 🔥 in the latest demo update. It's much more useful now and feels a lot better.

I'm considering making it feel heavier with some screenshake or something?

Oh that sneaky photographer snapped a candid on me. I was looking right at him and I didn't even notice.

Well done secret picture box man.

The before/after (the money on the bottom right is still there, it was just cropped out of the shot in the video).

Re-thought our HUD after some feedback, deciding to center it instead of being spread out on the corners.

At least the way I play, I look at the rear-view mirror a lot anyway and it's far less distance to travel for my eyes than the ultra-wide screen corners.

I'm working on this demon appearing to cause chaos in Scaravan.

I could use some ideas on how to make this event more significant.

The part that trips me up is that it happens mid-game, so I don't want to hurt gameplay if I can avoid it.

Vampire King putting on a wicked show while I shoot at the air and generally suck at my own game - Scaravan 66.

This is my error output log today when a character was attached to and pulling a chain it wasn't supposed to.

I think I've got to lay off the world politics & history for a bit, this read to me like a call for a revolution.

Talking about how her favorite brand of frozen plasma changed its 'recipe' maybe? I don't know we didn't get the audio.

In Scaravan 66, we really wanted our characters to have some mocap capabilities and our character artist delivered.

We didn't have much to budget for it, but fortunately Unreal's Live Link solution is really flexible and iPhone 11's aren't new.

I can tell I've had a rough week by the number of streak freezes I've melted through.

I'd like to sleep now, that would be nice.

We've been having so much fun adding detail to our vehicle destruction lately. Smashing them into walls is my new favourite thing.

The car drives itself forward in Scaravan, pressing "up" is a boost that overheats the engine.

Watching players try the game, that wasn't obvious so I'm adding stuff to try and make this clear.

The UI isn't easy to monitor, so hopefully this will convey the message better?

Working on our Diner UI today in Scaravan 66.

Our Character Designer and UI artist @waysentattoos.bsky.social is incredible; an absolute gem.

I'm recording some "Dev plays" footage for Scaravan atm and finding this pretty tough honestly - I'm learning that I still really don't like being on camera.
