I found the drift button 🕹

Having a lot of fun making a N64/PS1-style post delivery game ✉📮

Got a lot of feedback from my last Railway Life video, there seemed a large amount of people who really wanted shunting. After a gruelling amount of effort to get it working I can admit...

...okay maybe shunting is kinda fun

While I was at it, experimented with another, more manual option of speed control. Tried it as a way to have the player more involved in the train control, but I'm not convinced so far. Will need to explore more...

Trying to make the train controls a bit more fluid and reactive to drag + slopes. Decided to give the UI a bit of a facelift too. It's going to take me a long time to get it right, but it's a start!

Somehow managed to get my game in to the #GMTKJam this year, where your actions are controlled through a looping timeline track. Lots of issues but pretty proud of it at least as a proof-of-concept

Got the main gameplay feature down, super happy with it so far! Next is some actual levels/enemies

New video in the works, hopefully will be up next week if everything stays on track!

There's finally some actual gameplay!

Created a debug freefly camera so I could get cool shots for videos and...well it's just so good I may need to convert it into an in-game photo mode (whoops)

Added a debug menu so things will be much quicker to test down the line, but for now I'm just using it to make the player move super fast...so yeah it was worth it

Here's a clip I got from back in May when I experimented with track "physics" and shunting.
Whilst the clip looks good, it didn't work most the time :( will need to revisit later at some point
