Thank! I'm doing my best to make the map fun to traverse and explore

The game's core gameplay is about off-road driving and exploration, so no, but a sonar-only navigation game sounds cool as a concept tbh

Last but not least, Prospice by @whynotartdump.bsky.social seems to veer straight into the scary parts of notable "fucked up cargo"-type game Death Stranding. It was literally unveiled today, but it looks cool enough to shout out.

Yeah I'm a huge fan of the entire series, but I wanna put my own spin on the concept

Thanks! I started the whole project just as a fun exercise to learn how to do physic-y vehicle controller and it grew into something bigger.

Same here haha

I don't remember who said it but "producer is the person who makes sure the game gets finished" is such a great description and I use it whenever I have to explain this role to someone

Not using "gimmick" in a derogatory way btw, I genuinely wish we will get more shooters like this which keep the same core gameplay but squeeze a lot of different mechanical vignettes out of it. The last thing I've played that comes close is probably Titanfall 2's campaign.

Me and a couple of friends coined the term gimmick shooter in regards to some shooters from that era. One chapter it's an entire road trip in a vehicle, then it's a resource-scarce horror, then you control an army of bugs in a prison break.

Oh man we lost so many awesome studios in the last couple of years

Despite being a big MonHun nerd I never thought of it before...

I'm torn between making it more combat-focused or tricks-focused. Really love how in SSX tricks are still useful in race mode, as they fill up a speed boost bar. Maybe I should incorporate something similar... 🤔

Well I'm half(-pipe) way there
