Remember those job interviews? Too bad it wasn't meant to be this time. It's ok, let's keep building and developing, spreading kindness, and good things will follow! twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev #shadowsoftuonela

I just had two job interviews for a #unity programmer position. How did it go and what were they like? Let's talk about them on twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev #jobinterview #jobhunt

Let's create a sauna scene that's also main menu embedded into it! Watch it happen at twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev #shadowsoftuonela

Where have I been? I tell you where I've been. I've been fighting for my game and livelihood. I'll tell you all about it on live starting now: twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev

Players kept reporting that they thought one click should do multiple things in my game. For example a click should move the player to the interactable and interact when close enough. Then I started implementing it.. #shadowsoftuonela #bug #solution #gamedev #programming

SHADOWS OF TUONELA TAKES PART IN FINNISH GAMES WEEK ON STEAM! It's crazy to see your own game in the company of so many amazing games. Go check them all out, help a Finn and fellow indie developers! #gamedev #shadowsoftuonela #finnish #finnishgamesweek store.steampowered.com/sale/Finnish...

When you're a vegan but gotta get that fishing level :D #shadowsoftuonela #catchandrelease #fishing

Programmers and developers are going to understand this: Sometimes you just gotta rewrite the whole thing. Today is that day. www.twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev #programming #shadowsoftuonela

I've got a huge milestone cooking. Today I'm opening my game to be played on Steam for the first time (1PM UTC+3). 166 players are waiting to experience Tuonela for the first time. My poor server :D But it must be done! Join us on twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev #shadowsoftuonela

Shadows of Tuonela very first Steam playtest is here! I am beyond excited to get the game into the hands of players I will open the playtest fully open a bit later, because first I want to make sure the UX is as good as it can be. #shadowsoftuonela #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/3540820/...

Videogame performance is everything when it comes to getting people play your game. My dedicated server was running 60% CPU idle without players, so I implemented a 'NPC Sleeper' (TM pending :D) That alone reduced CPU usage from 60->40% #shadowsoftuonela #borderlands4 #gamedev

Back from exile! Let's implement new weapons, courtesy of @1lmski.bsky.social Can't wait to see these in action. #gamedev #digitalart #shadowsoftuonela twitch.tv/ameces

Steam achievements work! Next up: Let's look into Lobby & Matchmaking feature in Steam. twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev #shadowsoftuonela

Let's implement Steam features into the game using Facepunch Steamworks: - achievements & stats - lobby & matchmaking twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev #steam #shadowsoftuonela

High octane #gamedev content starting at twitch.tv/ameces Time to polish #shadowsoftuonela

I wanted to share the new and upcoming mid-level weapons created by none other than the visionary @1lmski.bsky.social Each weapon type will change your Shadow's strengths and weaknesses. #shadowsoftuonela #gamedev

Other people have better imposter syndrome than me I bet

How do you deal with losing motivation and momentum in game development? Let's talk about that in today's stream: www.twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev

Tuonela is starting to feel like a place. #shadowsoftuonela #gamedev

What makes a good videogame world? Is it the size, the places to explore? The stories? Or something else? Here's a short clip of my game #shadowsoftuonela and the world I've created. Take a look! #gamedev #DontStarve #kalevala

Ame where are the streams? Me:

The best games have the best soundtracks and sound designers. I love audio, so I wanted to learn #FMOD and spend quite some time getting the sounds right. What do you think? #gamedev #sounddesign #shadowsoftuonela

First time user experience is everything when it comes to video games. If the player doesn't get it, the developer has failed. One way to fix that is to do in-game video tutorials like these that I started working on. #unity #tutorial #ftue #churn #gamedev #shadowsoftuonela

Hi Bluesky! I wanted to let you know that I'm looking for a Finnish or remote international job in C# / Unity for the fall of 2025. I'm open to both part-time and full-time positions! Hit me up if you'd like to build something awesome together 🤩 #gamedev

I'm back baby! We've got a beautiful package of new environmental assets to put into the game. I've also been working on the very first special attack to the game. Let's get it done. www.twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev #shadowsoftuonela

Midsummer break was great. But let's get back developing with fresh ideas! #shadowsoftuonela #gamedev www.twitch.tv/ameces

Last stream before midsummer break! I need your help choosing something ultra-important for the game. Here's where you'll find me: twitch.tv/ameces #shadowsoftuonela #gamedev #kalevala

Things in #ICT and #gamedev are the most uncertain they have ever been. How do you handle unemployment and the uncertainty? Let's talk about that on today's stream: www.twitch.tv/ameces #unemployment #jobseekers

🚀 Astro Protocol is now on Steam! We’ve just launched our announce trailer and a playable demo alongside the store page. Wishlist & try the demo now: store.steampowered.com/app/3727420/... #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Last week of #gamedev before a summer break. This is the moment in Fast & Furious race where I shift to a smaller gear and push the pedal to the metal. www.twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev #fastandfurious #shadowsoftuonela

Wanna learn audio design in videogames? Well let's do it together: twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev #audiodesign #sounddesign #shadowsoftuonela

Let's continue our journey to becoming the world's first quintuple-A developer. Join the meme at www.twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev #aaa #aaaa #aaaaa #shadowsoftuonela

I had a great privilege to take part in the Way forward Forum hosted by the king in the north: #Fingersoft. A little bit of #gamedev networking, insight to the industry and a whole lot of treats. Now let's beck back to work!

We have new Steam Page art! Really proud how the game looks. Next up: Gameplay Teaser trailer? store.steampowered.com/app/3540820/... #shadowsoftuonela #gamedev #art #steam

Isn't it wonderful when things just fall into place? This clip is from yesterday when we pulled off a fully online woodcutting feature in one go. #gamedev #shadowsoftuonela www.twitch.tv/ameces/clip/...

I'm back baby-dolls! I spent the last week crunching Unity's Cloud Admin API and can now proudly say that #shadowsoftuonela has a fully functioning server authoritative cloud save system. Let's make more cool stuff at: www.twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev #cloudsecurity

I give up. #gamedev www.twitch.tv/ameces/clip/... #shadowsoftuonela

Today I experimented with adding VFX into the melee animation. What do you think? #osrs #shadowsoftuonela #vfx #gamedev

Modern way of game development is to be accountable and transparent with the people. One of the best ways to do that is to combine content creation with #gamedev. If that's too much for you, it's alright, you can still utilize tools like Discord to hear your players. #shadowsoftuonela

Good morning from Tuonela! I'm coming to you with a new and awesome animation snippet from the one and only @1lmski.bsky.social This is the main character of #shadowsoftuonela doing some mining. All we gotta do is add some sound, particle effects and we're good to go! #gamedev

Last touches before we start pushing our demo into #Steam Closed testing turned out to be immensely valuable as I found many major bugs. Let's fix them, and then ship my very first game next week! Here's some of the animations added into the game. #shadowsoftuonela #digitalart #gamedev

For 9 months I've built my dream game. Today we have reached the biggest milestone yet: closed beta. I am beyond excited to finally share what I've been working on for so long. Come see how it goes live on twitch.tv/ameces #shadowsoftuonela #gamedev

Finnish culture is one of the most important things about my game. Son of Tuoni has a typical Finnish one handed axe and a traditional cold weather fur hat (karvalakki). He's a frozen skeleton and one of the coolest enemies in #shadowsoftuonela! #gamedev #kalevala #digitalart

One of the best things about creating a videogame is that you get to choose the difficulty. And sometimes it bites you right in the butt cheeks. :D www.twitch.tv/ameces/clip/... #gamedev #difficult #rage #shadowsoftuonela

Who said censorship couldn't be fun? We implemented a profanity filter into #shadowsoftuonela and Twitch chat decided that we should replace bad words with funny sentences :D www.twitch.tv/ameces/clip/... #gamedev #censorship #profanity

The development of Shadows of Tuonela is coming together nicely! I'm aiming to release a public demo on Steam this June. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the latest art, brought to life by my talented friend. Meet Hiisi! He's fiers. #gamedev #digitalartwork #shadowsoftuonela #unity
