One word: #NOS I'll add visuals and SFX later. It's already quite fun. Slightly OP since the AI doesn't know how to use it yet. #racinggame #indiedev #gamedev

I stayed up all night last teaching the #AI how to hate. The next day, I went to the movie theater and saw great movie about an evil AI. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Throttle, turning... And another feature: if the #AI has to make a quick 180, it will slam the brake while still giving it gas to immediately initiate a drift. It results in a sharper turnaround and a faster lap time. #gamedev #indiedev #racinggame

Finally overhaulting the #AI Racers in my game! This is the last major backend system overhaul. Because people ask: this is NOT ML or Gen AI, this is old-school scripting. You can thank me later when they knock you off the road. #gamedev #indiedev #racinggame

FINALLY We have outline shader parity! But the trees don't look quite as good with the outline shader, wonder if I can give them their own thinner outline 🤔🤔🤔 #indiedev #gamedev #unity

Trying to re-create the outline shader that broke during an engine upgrade. Soooooo close! Left is old. Right only looks worse in certain subtle edge cases. #gamedev #indiedev

HOVERDRIVE is going to DreamHack Atlanta's Indie Playground May 15-17! You can use code "HOVERDRIVE" for 10% off tickets! Come playtest the game and chat with the developer. #DHatlanta #indiedev #gaming #racinggame #gamedev

Sorry for the lack of updates, mostly boring backend work. Here's an old level being rebuilt using the new tools. Terrain hasn't been smoothed out yet (obviously) #gamedev #indiedev

Small feature: during Story mode I can fade to black and pan the camera to arbitrary objects now. #indiedev #gamedev

Sometimes Duct Tape doesn't break, even after 2 years. Knowhatimean? #unity #gamedev

School Bus: *Exists* Me after pulling over to get a closer look: Hello bus, you should be in my game!

Congrats to Mech Tech for reaching their funding goal!! 🎉🎉 Check out this awesome action strategy mech game over on Kickstarter 🔗 www.kickstarter.com/projects/167... @sam-makes-games.bsky.social

Today I'm giving my Road System what it really needs:

I added steering wheel support to my isometric top-down racer. Since the perspective is fixed, it feels awful, please don't try it! 🎡🎡🎡

Let's build a new #Racetrack using my custom Road system! #indiedev #gamedev #racinggame

Temu Guided Missile 😠 #indiedev #racinggame #combatracing

Really epic game from a great developer, check it out now! It may not have Drifting, but it has plenty of Booming 💥💥💥

Terrain system still isn't quiiite there, but it's indescribably better than yesterday! #racinggame #indiedev #gamedev

Cool Outlines 😎 #racinggame #indiedev

I loving how grammar are in eurobeat music. Part of the charm, it is.

@teamkdgames.bsky.social Hi Timm, I'm in the process of starting up a podcast about programming cars & really liked Drift Boom Boom at a few cons! Would you be interested in talking about it?

2023 vs 2026 It's bizarre how far things have come 😵 #indiedev #gamedev #marketing #racinggame

I've been mostly posting backend stuff, but the art is also progressing! #racinggame #indiegame

Developing in ̶S̷t̷y̷l̷e̷ Tiles #indiedev

I live and die by my plans! Roadmap to Alpha Demo. #indiedev #gamedev #strategy #production

"You're doing it WRONG!" #gamedev #glitch #racinggame

#80s #indiegame #popups

Version 1.0 of Transfusion is out now - and we are officially out of early access!!! Thanks to everyone for playtesting, and we hope you enjoy the full game! #indiegames #gamedev #vr

What are ya tryin' to tell me? #indiedev #racinggame #car

I love making games.

Major story progress this week! Before & After Outlines, including some red flags that need attention (Zoom in for spoilers???) #indiedev #story #writing #racinggame

Roads and Connections... Roads and Connections.... And more Connections!!! More is always better ;) #indiedev #racinggame #leveleditor #gamedev #tools

After some great holidays, I'm finally back to this "groundbreaking" work. #gamedev #indiedev #racinggame

Aha! As with most things in life, it's all about perspective 🙂 But it sure is smooth!

We are bringing a new build of Bruisin Cruisers to MAGFest next week with that new car smell! If you've wanted a chance to go tire-to-tire with the Jerkwad, this is your first chance! #indiedev #magfest #mivs #indiegame

A good book is more addicting than a video game for me. My ten minute reading break took two hours. What do I have to show for it? Words like these burned into my mind! #classic #book

I really really really wanted to save time by using off-the-shelf #roadsystem. Sometimes they didn't have enough, sometimes they were overkill and it took too long. Fast forward: I'm making my own roads. 🚧🚜 #indiedev #tools

Hot take: I think most #indiedev teams get too caught up on polishing too early. I'm spending a lot of time on #tools . It's not very glamorous... but look at this smooth curve! 😍

When you invest heavily in #gamedev #tools, it feels like you're making a whole different game. Our #indiedev team will spend a lot of time with this new friend. Players will not even see it.

💯

Time to sit down and focus. NO DISTRACTIONS!!!! >:) (Is this irony? I'm still not sure.) #gamedev #Desktop #indiedev #productivity

Dev: What's this strange background? I didn't add this! Debug Menu: H E L L O T H E R E . ⚫‿⚫ #indiedev #glitchyagame #bug

So many awesome indie games in this showcase! #15seconds www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOUw...

I always get more #RAM than I "need." No harm in having extra. And on the 1% of days when this happens, we're set! ✨

The Lone Wulf Studio 2025 Indie 15 Second Showcase is this Saturday! Thanks for the hundreds of submissions. This is going to be a banger! Set your calendars for Dec. 13, 10PM UTC (5PM EST). There's a countdown and more info here: lonewulfstudio.com/indieshowcas...

💡 All the "boring stuff" from the past few months is finally coming together... #indiedev #leveleditor #gamedev

I bumped my shin. It hurt to the bone for days. Left a big mark. ... If anyone asks, I'll just send them this: youtu.be/VtjnlkAX8XY 😏😉 #initiald #bunta #cars

TYSM for featuring me @spacemermaid3.bsky.social !! 😄 youtu.be/QQSRqDLqrig
