Curious about the journey behind our next game and don’t want to miss any updates⁉️ Join us on #Discord! discord.gg/PsyQBsrNBg #gamedev #indiedev

We are currently developing some #unity editor tools to simplify the setup of new scenes. From one place, we have control over the skybox, shadows, lighting, and more for the scene, and can reuse it in other scenes 😁 #gamedev #indiedev

A new mini-game lets the user now choose the correct item to trigger an event... For example: Key to open the door 🔑 or putting a fuse in a circuit breaker box ⚡ For now, enjoy fireworks 🎆😁 #gamedev #indiedev #unity

It was a successful day! We are very pleased with the result 😁👍 Stay tuned for more information.

We're ready for the Storyboard Workshop. Let's hope we have enough snacks to fuel productive thinking. #indiedev #gamedev #gamedesign

Tomorrow is our #Storyboard workshop 😬 I'm really looking forward to it, and can't wait, that my friends come around! Pens, post-it's and storyboard sheets are ready 📝 #gamedev #indiedev

I worked on "readable documents"... everything’s working nicely. Even got gamepad scrolling working (turns out it wasn’t as easy as I thought 😃) #gamedev #indiedev #unity

Right now, I'm working on lighting, post-processing, and all the details to create a horror atmosphere. I came across the "Beautify 3" asset by @kronnect.bsky.social and I have to say, it's again an amazing asset!!! 🙏🏻 Check it out: assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx... #gamedev #indiedev #Unity

New Year’s resolution: Share more updates on the progress we’re making! Let’s see how well I stick to that one… 😁 #gamedev #indiedev #NewYearsResolution

A really nice read and a great way to get in the right mindset for the upcoming storyboard workshop we’ll be doing. #gamedev #indiedev

Inventory… pfft, how hard could that be? #gamedev #indiedev One week later:

We wish everyone a happy #christmastime🎄 #SmellsLikeBurntRubber #gamedev #indiedev

We all needed a little breather. Everyone’s juggling family, kids, and work, and somehow Christmas is already around the corner (wait… how is it that time again???). So yeah… updates have been a bit quiet 😁 #sparetimedeveloper Might be time to dive into some research 🤖 #gamedev #unity #indiedev

Today, I'm working again on something completely new for me... Bones and Skinned Mesh Renderer. More complex than I had thought! 😅 #unity #indiedev #gamedev

Have you seen the new #SteamMachine? My god, that looks amazing!!! Can't wait for it! store.steampowered.com/hardware/ste...

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! #SmellsLikeBurntRubber #gamedev

The gameplay elements are finally coming together... it feels excellent 😁♥️ #gamedev #indiedev

Happy #Halloween from #SmellsLikeBurntRubber! 🎃 The track’s haunted, the tires are screaming, and the spirits are racing 🏁💀 #indidev #gamedev

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 😁 #gamedev #indiedev #unity

Got some feedback that the Logitech F310 isn’t working with #SmellsLikeBurntRubber. Anyone know how I can test it without actually buying the controller? 😅 #GamedevIsHard #unity #gamedev #indiedev

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 👌 #indiedev #gamedev #unity

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? 😄 #indiedev #gamedev #unity

Diving back into my ancient #SmellsLikeBurntRubber code base. It’s been ages since I last touched this part… 🫨 #indiedev #gamedev #fun #unity

Some fresh recommendations for #GameAsset lovers! 🎮 Check out the "Input Prompts" sprites from @kenney.nl hey’re super nice, and they’re completely free under the CC0 license 😎 We’ll be using these in our next game! 👉 kenney.nl/assets/input... #gamedev #indiedev #unity #gamedevelopment

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

To all #indiedevs out there. Check out this side! Tweaking your lerp time calcs is a total gamechanger 😎 They just end up looking way smoother and more natural. No matter if in your UI or gameobjects. chicounity3d.wordpress.com/2014/05/23/h... #gamedev #indiedev #unity

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! 😅 #indiedev #gamedev #unity

Trying to figure out what to share as this week’s progress. I’ve been jumping between a bunch of different tasks… Tough choice - guess that’s a problem for Friday-me to decide 😄 #gamedev #unity #indiedev

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 😂 #indiedev #gamedev #unity #gamedevelopment

Late with my weekly update - oops 😁 Doors can be locked, and you need the right key to unlock those... progress feels so good 🚪🗝️ #gamedev #unity #indiedev

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 😁 #gamedev #unity #indiedev

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 🎒 #indedev #gamedev #untiy

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! 😉 #indiedev #gamedev

Preparing for a hiking weekend with a friend. We will take our notebooks with us and try out some gameplay ideas. 🥾 ☀️ #indedev #gamedev

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 😅 #gamefeel

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. #indiedev

Kicking off something new... and yeah, it feels real good 😎 #indiedev #gamedev

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 :-) store.steampowered.com/news/app/219... #steam #arcade #racinggame #indiedev #gaming

A wrap up of the development of #SmellsLikeBurntRubber. So let's check, what I learned?! www.youtube.com/shorts/3QNXU... #indiedev #gamedev

🚨Nuremberg, May 5th at 6 PM!🚨 Speakers: - Stephan Payer, founder and head of finance of @cipsoftgmbh.bsky.social about "No cash, no action! Payment systems for computer games". - @zoroarts.bsky.social about his challenges as successes as 22 year old solo-dev of multiple games that went viral

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!!! #gaming #racinggame

This review is so great ❤️ Many thanks! #indiedev #Gamedev #solodev #SmellsLikeBurntRubber

I'm proud that #SmellsLikeBurntRubber was created without GenAI - and thanks to @kanaratron.bsky.social @itsnotunusual.bsky.social there is an award for it 👍 #indiedev check out this page, if you are interested: www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal
