Made a compilation of some of my favourite runs from the community. Enjoy! #indiegame #indiedev #bhop #surf #games #gaming

Today's update introduces the Super Board: a leaderboard that reveals the top 100 players across every timed course. Each player is scored based on their ranks achieved on each course. It also displays average rank, and combined time. #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #games #gamedev #MadeWithUnity

The modded branch has been updated to v1.2.0 and now includes the level editor. The workshop supports modded uploads. #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #games #gamedev #MadeWithUnity

This update adds new objects to the editor, including the entire base game's world (kinda), as well as some other general improvements and fixes. #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #games #gamedev #MadeWithUnity

The Level Editor Update is now officially available! You can create levels with almost every tool I had to make the base world. Play levels from the workshop, either by yourself, or online. Thanks for waiting, and happy editing! #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #games #gamedev #MadeWithUnity

Second Devlog for the level editor is up, discussing what's been done over the past week. #indiegame #indiedev #games #gaming #devlog #thelocal

Finally started developing the level editor for The Local about 2 weeks ago! I wrote a devlog discussing what's already been done, and what's to come. Not too sure when the update will be out, but it's shaping up to be a great one! #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #games #devlog #thelocal

I sat down with Tobey Gronow @tobey-jinc.bsky.social , the solo dev behind The Local—a high-speed, parkour-heavy FPS that throws you into a playground of momentum and mayhem. We talked about how the game came to life, and what’s next for this breakout indie hit. fps-z.com/action/the-l...

Just released a small update to conclude the April Fools' event. I've also created an up to date modding branch (v1.1.0). #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #games #thelocal

The April Fools' Special update is out! Wanted to try making some more linear Timed courses so this update adds two: "my_map" and "my_map2". Enjoy! #indiegame #indiedev #aprilfools #source #speedrun #gaming #games #thelocal

Weekly Timed Courses are here! Every Saturday UTC, 2 Timed courses will be generated and playable for that week. Aim for leaderboard rankings and the combined top 5 board! More details here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/256... #gaming #games #indiegame #indiedev #speedrun #thelocal

Alongside today's update, I've release a branch intended for modding that's built on Unity's Mono backend that's far easier to mod for. Find out more here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/256... #gaming #games #modding #indiegame #indiedev

New update released today that addresses some technical issues, and expands upon Ghost Data. Check it out here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/256... #gaming #games #indiegame #indiedev #thelocal

First content update for The Local is out now! It adds 6 Ranks for each Timed course, as well as a new Timed course based on the Advanced Movement training called Bootcamp. Check it out here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/256... #update #thelocal #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #games

A TikTok creator randomly used The Local as background footage and it's created a huge amount of new traffic! So many eyes on my game AAAAHHHHH! #indiedev #indiegame #thelocal #gaming #games

Just updated my Curator page with a fistful of games I've played over the past couple weeks! As always, check out the Lists page for stuff broken up into easily digestable themes, or sort by Top Sellers and dig downwards for increasingly deep indie cuts.

Today's update introduces a reworked Slide Boost. The old boost was way too powerful and was blurring the line between skill and luck. Alongside this change, the leaderboards have been reset. store.steampowered.com/news/app/256... #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #games #parkour #steam #thelocal

New update! Further adjusted the slide rework and some much needed improvements to how scoring is display in Online. store.steampowered.com/news/app/256... #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #games #parkour #steam #thelocal

I put The Local in the spotlight, a bunnyhopping, wall-surfing, rail-grinding Aussie tribute to weird FPS movement mechanics and Jet Set Radio.

THE LOCAL JUST REACHED VERY POSITIVE!!! I'M GONNA CRY!!! Thank you everybody, this is an actual dream! #indiedev #indiegames #gaming #gaming #steam

Just opened a board on speedrun dot com for anyone interested in that sort of thing. Right now there are just boards for the 24 Timed courses. Check it out here: www.speedrun.com/the_local #speedrun #indiegame #indiedev #parkour #games #gaming

Let's go! I got myself enough reviews to get an official Steam rating. #indiedev #gamedev #gaming #games #parkour

Whoo! The Local is out now. A mashup of Jet Set Radio and Quake/CS bunnyhop/surf maps. It's also (mostly) free. There's a supporters version with one extra checkpoint race mode and some customization, but everything else (including multiplayer) is free. It is very cool and you should play it.

THE LOCAL IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR FREE ON STEAM! store.steampowered.com/app/2560050/... #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #games #parkour

memories of surf maps at 3am... it's all coming back to me

Was just scouring the release calendars for interesting stuff out this month, and The Local caught my eye. Hyper-mobile speed FPS inspired by Quake/HL/CS bunnyhopping/surfing maps, plus a bit of Jet Set Radio. I know some people who this'll be like catnip for. Not too many games for movement sickos

Pleased to announce that The Local will be releasing on the 26th of February PST! #gamedev #indiedev #parkour

New trailer for The Local just dropped! #games #parkour #indiedev #indiegame #trailer youtu.be/u5Y3_SWVIPY
