I'd say this one is in the bag. A fun little mini game to look for in a side project I'm working on... 🎮

Wowzers! Yesterday was an awesome experience. A 1.5h stream of players for the Time in Place screens. It was great to see people having fun. Thanks to @amazefest.bsky.social and @medienboard.bsky.social and everyone who came by to play. 🎮

Man what a cool place. I'm still just exploring all the cool indie game booths and enjoying seeing all these games from reddit and Bluesky etc in real life.

Some beautiful booth build outs too!

Happy to be at Gamescom and get to explore Köln for the first time. Saw some friends, and made some new ones, at the welcome event. It was oddly sponsored by Meta... But what are you gonna do...

sometimes it feels like... you add one test shader, and don't even use it in the project... and then compile times for a build go from 1 minutes to 5793 seconds...

I'm sure it's my fault somehow. But also, dang man.

For the mini games that aren't made entirely inside TextMeshPro, I'm additively loading them below the main level and then sending the camera(s) to a render texture in the TV object. Works well enough

Hey! I made a free Blender script that gives you the ability to select faces by vertex color. Speed up your workflow.

Check out my blog post and download it here: www.codytswanson.com/post/free-bl...

I'm diving, or should I say... driving! back into some of the mini-games within the game. There will be a few included in level 2 of Time in Place. This is the exploding-car era of arcade racers 🚗 💥

RACING MENU AND CAR MAYBE bETTER?

Back on to late night mini-game bug fixes as my attention slowly moves beyond just the demo...

A fun Unity tip I just found discovered accidentally. If you search for a game object, and you're in Wireframe mode, all objects from the search results will be darker than the rest of you scene. No guesswork needed.

Working on the next demo update for Time in Place, and I finally added midi input to the synth. That means you can now play the keyboard instruments with your own USB midi device, plug and play!

A new update is coming for the Steam demo, with some cool requested features. But I wanted to also remind players that you can upload your photos to Steam and share them there, or on our Discord community.

Based on player feedback from Next Fest, I'm adding a few one time control tips when you start the demo, to help with some tasks (like the hidden Trasketball task)

Just a friendly reminder to other devs out there: Always push current changes, even if you intend to roll them back. … just incase you forgot to push some important work from the last few days. Not that I would know anything about this...
