The new trailer for my game is out on the IGN youtube channel! Like, share and subscribe! youtu.be/LL8b4WZL6w8?...

Today I launched my first ever app on the Mac app store apps.apple.com/fi/app/dab-e... it is a completely free habit tracking app. I hope you find it useful!

bonkers vehicle combat game dev day 420 & 421: small things. I added pooling to the bullet trails effects and made them fade out gracefully and added support for water impact VFX for the bullets.

dev day 416: a quick update on the burrowing effect to include terrain deformations and particles.

Happy halloween everybody! Do not eat too healthy! #Halloween2025

I was just there sunday last week. would have been a short visit today.

ICYMI: KEEPER HAS AWAKENED! Join a sentient lighthouse and its spirited seabird companion for an odyssey of mystifying metamorphosis *right now* on @xbox.com and @steampowered.com! We'll see you on the other side...but on the other side of what, exactly? 👀 doublefine.com/games/keeper

@leepetty.bsky.social Congrats on the launch of Keeper! The game looks awesome!

Vehicle combat solodev day 402: update on boring machine! VFX polish, timing, small tweaks on burrowing.

dev day 401: The boring machine can now finally bore! Thank you all for your great feedback 🙏🏻 I did spend day 400 just replying to you all! now, what cool gameplay could there be for this VERY overpowered worm? Now is the time for suggestions!

dev day 399: mock-up of the look, feel and motion of the boring-worm-machine. Thanks @cohhcarnage.bsky.social for the inspiration on the design 🙏🏻

dev day 398: I am not saying you get to play as a massive weaponized boring machine tearing apart the desert, but you absolutely get to play as a massive weaponized boring machine tearing apart the desert!

Dev day 396: Hovebike first pass. Flotation, propellers and kick-off VFX added! Hoverbikes will not be common in the game, but there will be some by the end! (And other weird s***t) #solodev #IndieGameDev

vehicle combat dev day 395: I implemented wheel-less driving to prepare for hover bikes/craft, flying units and something even cooler down the line. I am honestly surprised at how fun the gameplay is with a floaty hover-unit! #IndieGameDev #gamedev #hoverbike

vehicluar combat solodev day 393: I may have turned the deformation value too high on the new school bus vehicle type :D What has not been talked about too much is that the project now has had a writer on board and we have been writing the story in earnest #realtimeVFX #solodev

Day 392, thanks to the ever generous @JPowersArtist for making me not only one, but 2 miniguns for my game! #indiegamedev #buildinpublic

razy-desert-grapple-gun-vehicle-combat-project gamedev montage from the past 100+ days. The prototype playtest is still on-going! #screenshotsaturday #solodev #indiegame #gamedev youtu.be/zkYZgwUtWrc?...

Here is my game's mesh blending feature in action #indiegamedev #gamedev

Dev day 382: I ported mesh blending to Unity 6 The effect has been making its rounds online for Unreal and I WANTED IT FOR UNITY! and Finally I have it in my game. It is so nice to get rid of the nasty seams in my procedural mesh based world! #wishlistwednesday #VFX #UNITY

day 379: Many play testers asked "why does the car I just jumped away from keep fighting me?" Well, because the original driver is there with you all the time! The animation in this clip is all procedural, no keyframes! #solodev #unity3d

vehicle combat game dev day 378: added final polish to my super simple driver dynamics + hand IK + LODing replacement. Never mind the completely off animations (these will not be Flintstones cars) the tool is now feature complete! #solodev #gamedeveloper #animated

dev day 378: In order to make these as lightweight as possible, I started to work on a simple animation controller for the drivers inside the vehicles. They do not need to do much. Just steer, hop from seat to seat and react to vehicle physics and have some emotes. #indiegamedev

Crazy-desert-grapple-gun-mayhem solodev day 374: I polishes the AI a bit to take some of the terrain into account while driving around and to be able to detour after getting stuck on a steep slope. #wishlistwednesday #solodev #gamedev

vehicular combat Drivers of the Apocalypse solo dev day 371: finally started work on the snow biome. Immediately it unearthed a host sand only features I had built and needed to generalize. #solodev #wishlistwednesday #indiegame

solodev day 364: hotspots in overworld scene always visible and describe the functions better. The game's prototype playtest is still ongoing! I am thirsty for your feedback! #IndieGameDev #gamedev #UI

Drivers dev day 364: Physics objects can now have trajectory prediction, giving a little bit better idea where the bombs will land. AI got upgrade where they can break a pattern where you chip away at their health from afar. Playtest build updated. #buildinpublic #indiegame

Vehicle combat game dev day 363: year days working on the project flew by! The play-test is still ongoing, and based on the pain points people have been encountering, I added more informative texts around the UI and reshuffled some things a bit! #IndieGameDev #indiegame

Dev day 356: The public play-test for my crazy-desert-grapple-gun-vehicular-maness -game has now begun! Link to the steam page in the thread! #indiegames #solodev #unity3d #madmax

Drivers dev day 351: UI audio pass. Still nearly not done, but we added some physical sounds to the UI's. I think they wonderfully add to the feel. HDD clicking when new data is accessed and fat keyboard sounds when navigating. We still need much more PC beeper sounds! getting there! #indiegames

Drivers OTA dev day 352: animated brake lights (+ day 340 varied and better engine sounds for the vehicles) I have fixed dozens of bugs and added playtest specific features. Polish polish polish! #IndieGameDev #unity3d #wishlistwednesday

Time to explore the barren wastelands and experience mayhem like never before! Drivers of the Apocalypse Playtest is coming Tuesday the 𝟭𝟮𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 🔥 Wishlist and request Playtest Access now: store.steampowered.com/app/3260240/...

Drivers OTA dev diary day 350: full controller support for in-world computer UIs. Finally this part of the game is 100% feature parity with mouse and gamepad ⌨️🎮 #SundayDriver #solodev #IndieGameDev

Dev day 345: first steam deck test. My game ran at around 40+fps with medium*ish settings in a high stress scene. FPS locked at 40 with some more settings tweaked is a very smooth experience 👍! #indiegamedev #wishlistwednesday #steamdeck

#MondayMotivation Brick-by-brick

Drivers dev day 343: what! Another dev diary! It's been so long! I spend the whole day adding full controller support to the in-game store. This is by far the simplest computer UI in the game, and I need to make all of them have full controller support. Not fun work! #indiegame #gamedev #solodev

Vehicle combat game dev day 339 (contd): Support for full color stencils added. You can now upload Any image (square aspect ratio) to use as paint stencil in the vehicle paint booth. Completing the tools for maximum customization and perfecting the TTP! #wishlistwednesday #IndieGameDev #gamedevs

Bonkers vehicle combat game dev day 339: importing any images as vehicle paint job (with support for transparency) #WishlistWednesday #gamedev #indiedev

vehicle combat game dev day 331: More work on the env propping. The harbor set is taking shape! (would love to hear your ideas for post apocalyptic environments!) I am still experimenting with feature density. #screenshotsaturday #IndieGameDev #buildinpublic

While I'm at it... here are four vehicular combat games I'm looking forward to (🏎️💣💥): • Drivers of the Apocalypse by @jkemppainen.com • FUMES by x.com/m_tarkovsky • Scaravan 66 by @lithicent.bsky.social • Death Blonde by @deathblondegame.bsky.social

Bonkers vehicle combat solodev project dev day 327-328: Now each weapon has unique, animated crosshairs with some hints on range and or sweet spot. I also started building my dried harbor env art -set. #solodev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Explain your @ ...

Drivers of the apocalypse dev day 324: randomized oil pipes snaking through the desert. As you may know I have been wading through writer applications the last week, but I managed to squeeze in some actual work and added an oil pipeline to the game! #wishlistwednesday #indiegamedev

Steal enemy cars and battle through convoys in Drivers of the Apocalypse. 🚘 High-octane action-driving vehicular combat ♻️ Fast-paced vehicle swapping 🖌️ Customize your ride with stickers and paint store.steampowered.com/app/3260240/... #PitchYaGame

Just sent out the first super early pre-alpha play-test build candidate of Drivers of the Apocalypse. Feels like a champagne moment? #solodev #playtest #gamevev #buildinpublic #madmax

wait there is more dev day 316: The new music went in the game. We do not yet have a sound mixer so it gets buried in all the action sounds! #wishlistwednesday #gamedev #unity3d

vehicle combat dev day 316: the weekend was massive for the project. We added a bunch of audio events to make the engines feel more nuanced and the cars more rickety. In this apocalypse the people do not (all) have access to high tech! #wishlistwednesday #indiegamedev #actiongame

Drivers of the apocalypse dev day 311 (part2): I added some videos to accompany each mission. I think I also want to do video for the speaker portraits! I am afraid it will get out of hand :D #solodev #indiegamedev #buildinpublic

dev day 311: light scattering trough opaque material. today I spent some time adding more audio events to the game, and as I was adding audio events to water collisions I finally plugged in water splash effects. (thread) #vfx #unity3d #indiegamedev #screenshotsaturday

this is going to be awesome!

Celebratory dev diary for day 310, nothing great to show, but today I managed to fix an audio but that was introduced over a year ago! I also added a physics audio manager that handles audio from physical objects, adding beeps and burps to the collisions without audio created. #solodev #gamedev
