Players kept reporting that they thought one click should do multiple things in my game.

For example a click should move the player to the interactable and interact when close enough.

Then I started implementing it..

I've got a huge milestone cooking.

Today I'm opening my game to be played on Steam for the first time (1PM UTC+3).

166 players are waiting to experience Tuonela for the first time.

My poor server :D But it must be done!

Videogame performance is everything when it comes to getting people play your game.

My dedicated server was running 60% CPU idle without players, so I implemented a 'NPC Sleeper' (TM pending :D)

That alone reduced CPU usage from 60->40%

I wanted to share the new and upcoming mid-level weapons created by none other than the visionary @1lmski.bsky.social

Each weapon type will change your Shadow's strengths and weaknesses.

Tuonela is starting to feel like a place.

What makes a good videogame world? Is it the size, the places to explore? The stories? Or something else?

Here's a short clip of my game #shadowsoftuonela and the world I've created. Take a look!

The best games have the best soundtracks and sound designers.

I love audio, so I wanted to learn #FMOD and spend quite some time getting the sounds right.

What do you think? #gamedev #sounddesign #shadowsoftuonela

First time user experience is everything when it comes to video games. If the player doesn't get it, the developer has failed.

One way to fix that is to do in-game video tutorials like these that I started working on.

Hi Bluesky!

I wanted to let you know that I'm looking for a Finnish or remote international job in C# / Unity for the fall of 2025. I'm open to both part-time and full-time positions!

Hit me up if you'd like to build something awesome together 🤩

I had a great privilege to take part in the Way forward Forum hosted by the king in the north: #Fingersoft.

A little bit of #gamedev networking, insight to the industry and a whole lot of treats.

Now let's beck back to work!

Today I experimented with adding VFX into the melee animation.

What do you think?

Modern way of game development is to be accountable and transparent with the people.

One of the best ways to do that is to combine content creation with #gamedev.

If that's too much for you, it's alright, you can still utilize tools like Discord to hear your players. #shadowsoftuonela

Good morning from Tuonela!

I'm coming to you with a new and awesome animation snippet from the one and only @1lmski.bsky.social

This is the main character of #shadowsoftuonela doing some mining.

All we gotta do is add some sound, particle effects and we're good to go! #gamedev

Last touches before we start pushing our demo into #Steam

Closed testing turned out to be immensely valuable as I found many major bugs. Let's fix them, and then ship my very first game next week!

Here's some of the animations added into the game.

Finnish culture is one of the most important things about my game.

Son of Tuoni has a typical Finnish one handed axe and a traditional cold weather fur hat (karvalakki).

He's a frozen skeleton and one of the coolest enemies in #shadowsoftuonela!

The development of Shadows of Tuonela is coming together nicely! I'm aiming to release a public demo on Steam this June.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the latest art, brought to life by my talented friend.

Meet Hiisi! He's fiers.

Guys, I want you to meet Kokko.

He's an ancient, shackled Finnish mythological bird and also one of the enemies in #shadowsoftuonela.

Let's make him move & fight in today's stream!

How many commits did your first game/program have before release?

It really puts everything into perspective when you think about it!
