Paddlenoid - Demo trailer

In the Culture novels by Ian Banks, the spaceships are intelligent and commonly are thousands of years old.

There's this idea that as these ships age, they sometimes start to turn inward and become eccentric.

I often think about that ...

'Don't make your dream game. Make what gamers want' I get it... but that's not why I went Indie...

In Paddlenoid, you're stranded on an alien planet, with only your trusty escape pod to help you get back home...

And, really, that's all there is to it 😅

By the way... Paddlenoid is going on Steam Next Fest in February!

First actual festival so I'm really exited to see how that goes. - If anyone has tips please let me know!

Early 2025, 125,000 of you pre-ordered "Vivian Amberville - The Book of Chaos" on paperback or hardback.

For 250 of you, I've hidden a secret message visible only under UV light + a unique code.🔍

E-mail me that code to get a FREE BOOK!💙📚

You guys have no idea how LONG I've waited to reveal this!😅

- Tilt your screen to guide the pod

It it possible to market your game without becoming a YouTuber?

On the one hand it seems like such an effective way to build an audience. On the other.. I just want to make games..

Now that we've got a trailer up, it's time to finalize the press kit.

After working on the game for so long it's actually weird to see it all summed up plainly like this 😊

Question for anyone who's previously attended #Gamescom:

I'm planning to attend the next Gamescom (26-30 August 2026 in Köln, Germany) as a VISITOR, yet I've no clue which days to pick.😕

It's a 2.5h drive from where I live, so it's doable, but I can't be there on all the days. Which days are best?

I'm actually pretty happy with how this trailer is turning out ... Will share with you guys soon!

So... I tried Reaper. I really like it. But I'm also glad I got back with Cubase... 😊

Oh oh, Paddlenoid has already caused one relationship casualty😬

Please be careful when playing coop with your SO!

Setting up my new laptop and I find out I can't transfer my Cubase 10.5 license anymore...

Time to give Reaper an honest try, I guess... 🤷

The later levels in Paddlenoid are a little more frantic and require some strategy as well. Get to the crystal before you run out of blocks!

Some gameplay from one of the jungle themed levels. The powerups are respawning, adding tot the chaos 😊

We just finished up the Paddlenoid playtest in preparation of the demo release next month. Here's the results: 223 playtesters in total. 20 actual players and 7 feedback forms. AMA.

Part play through of City level 4. Preparing for a release comes with much self-doubt and a rethinking of everything. Luckily, I think it has improved the game a lot! 😊 - Paddle mechanics are more 'traditional' and more fun! - Also, look at those impact animations 😊

Two ways to control the paddle. Classic (left), like Arkanoid, where the position on the paddle is the deflection angle and Tilting (right), where it deflects naturally but you can tilt for control.

What works best?

I actually have something to show but I'm stuck learning DaVinci Resolve first 😅 - Hopefully later today!

I'm learning that releasing a game is a lot like playing chess... In that you'll only really see the move you've made when you finally let go of the piece...

Lots of last minute changes and, hopefully, improvements! - Can't wait to show you guys!

Just closed the playtest for Paddlenoid and am aiming to release the demo around 2 December.

I've now entered frantic tweaking mode, the mode right before finally recording a trailer 😊

Random gamedev peeve: Mix_FadeOutChannel doesn't halt your sound channel if it's already paused or has volume set to 0. It also crashes in Emscripten.

So... Maybe they're trying to say: don't use this; just fade out by setting your volume on a timer in your gameloop.

🚨 Thanks playtesters! Your feedback helped a lot! But we have to wrap it up soon to prep a - slightly shorter - demo release. Can't keep offering the entire first episode (10 levels + boss!) for free 😅

Please repost for visibility!
