It feels nice to get a new #Steam review, 2.5 years after your game was released 😁

As this was my first solo #indiedev game, made in my spare time, this means a lot to me ❤️

Next Stop: World Domination!

Happy #Halloween from #SmellsLikeBurntRubber! 🎃

The track’s haunted, the tires are screaming, and the spirits are racing 🏁💀

Just released v.1.5.1.9 of #SmellsLikeBurntRubber with small bugfixes all over the game 🏎️🔥

Release Notes: store.steampowered.com/news/app/219...

Now back to the new project! Currently, I'm a little bit "slow" - but it feels great to work on something new 😁

Take a first look at our #UI 👀 Not yet final, but I think it's a good start.

And as bonus: most of the settings are already working 👌

Quick update! Here’s a screenshot from the settings dialog.
I’ll be sharing a video of the #UI soon.
Any guesses what kind of game we are working on? 😄

Needed a breather from the player controller, so I jumped into the #userinterface.
Not finished yet, but we’re definitely moving forward 😁

Friday Update!

We’ve tweaked interactions - now the player can reach for objects and crouch.

Also added a small mini-game framework, starting with the very first “Generator” mini-game.

I know, it’s not the prettiest yet… but hey, it works! 😅

Made some slow progress on the player controller today... You can now aim, shoot, and reload ✅

But aiming isn’t quite there yet. Right now the arms don’t move up or down to match the aim, I’m just rotating the weapon instead 😂

Late with my weekly update - oops 😁

Doors can be locked, and you need the right key to unlock those... progress feels so good 🚪🗝️

Experimenting with gameplay triggers... like turning off the lights when you step into an area, or making them flicker 💡

Pretty cool how quickly I can set these up now 😁

Long time no update... I’ve been enjoying some quality time with my wife and kids 😁

But now I’m back at full speed! My friend has been working on the enemy AI, while I built an interaction system for the environment 🚪 and a fully functional inventory 🎒

Spent last weekend hiking with an old friend, and we brainstormed about game ideas. By the end of it, we had a game design document and are now diving into prototyping! 😀

Exciting things ahead - Stay tuned! 😉

I just finished this book.

A lot of insides about #gamedesign. Once I'm back from vacation, I will update my design documents and implement my takeaways.

Now back to relaxing... Life is hard as #indiedev 😅

Experimenting with the State Machine Pattern, Cinemachine and building a 3rd Person Controller in #Unity 🏗️

Just a tech prototype at this stage...
By the way, I love the assets from @synty.bsky.social 😁♥️

Started the next book on my list to improve my #gamedev skills.
So far, it is very interesting! Thanks for the suggestion 📖

Also, I'm doing some POCs in #Unity and try to learn some new stuff.

Release 1.5.1 of #SmellsLikeBurntRubber with a new track is here: Finero Pit 🔥🔥🔥
This one comes with a fiery twist: barrels that launch flames! So watch your driving and steer clear of those flaming surprises :-)

Release 1.5.0 of #SmellsLikeBurntRubber is finally here! 🥳

The biggest change is the network layer. I changed the library from PUN 2 to Fishnet, which has a lot more features.
For example, you now got LAN multiplayer!!!
