I made Soccer Physics and several other somewhat successful games in the 2010s. Today, I'm a hobbyist game dev focusing on making freeware local multiplayer games using #Godot.

This is Sektori! A twin-stick shooter I've been making (and documenting the journey) since April 2021. And it finally launched TODAY on Steam, PS5 and Xbox! Here's a fresh launch trailer, all shares highly appreciated. More game info in replies.

So, maybe a few compromises: additional keys (1,2,3 and 4) to toggle some settings (as hinted by the post-it note), and maybe a log in the upper right corner to keep track of what's happening.

I'm planning to release a "0.9" version this week, so you too can finally try this out :--)

WIP, and just with placeholder text, but maybe something like this as the idle animation/statistics view?
Any other stats I should keep track of? Bank shots perhaps?

Swish? Hoopie? Nothing-but-net? I'm looking at a Wikipedia page for basketball lingo and trying to figure out what to call it (in my game's statistics) when the ball goes straight through, without touching the rim.

In Finnish it's "sukkana sisään", which translates to "in like a sock"...

Bsky always does weird things to videos shot on my phone, but this thing actually runs 30fps and looks nice on my Anbernic RG 35XX plus, just had to disable the shadows. There's likely things I can still optimize, but I'm already very happy with how this runs on this cheap Linux handheld :--)

The scorestreak split-flap display now lives next to the score display. Looks maybe a bit crowded, but I think it's the best place for it.

I also quite like how this works witout any GUI overlay, and I might not need any menus either. A way to show some statistics would be fun to have, still, hmm.

Accidentally took video of the Moon instead of a photo. Weirds me out. Horror game material for someone? :--P

Added some more polish to the game (yes, to the floor, too).

Is your dream basketball video game a one-button game where you can keep checking the time on your wristwatch? Oh boy, do I have some good news for you!

Added these two gestures in the game. Tried lots of other features this week, but this is the only one that stuck :--)

Finally got to trying out the new, fancy Godot version. I was a bit worried my projects might break, and there had been rumors about the editor looking different now?

Luckily, everything went smoothly and all is working just fine :--) Welcome, Godot 3.6!
November 7, 2025 at 11:24 AM
Took a small break from this project, too, and now that I came back to this, I stripped it back to its core and kept only the simplest and nicest stuff. The camera is now dynamic, so there's a little progress, too :--)

But maybe this is the game. Just with some more polish and nicer animations.
