git commit -m "added new mover method for waypoints, added roomba char, fucked up elevator doors" roomba learned waypoints roomba destroyed elevator doors violently - checks out

creating any maintaining my moodboard and anytype database for this project was way more fun than I would've imagined. Usually I wing it, have some browserbookmarks, some images in a folder and ideas in my little pocket notebook - creative chaos rule - but I get it now

You can wishlist Resistance Racing 2k97 from now on! this is the game I wanted to do for years and its getting serious 😱 - but the story will have a bit of my usual absurdist dialogues and worldbuilding store.steampowered.com/app/4162460/...

After a lot of thinking, I realised, I already have all the variables for good race gameplay. I just needed to use them differently. Only by designing the UI for the "pitch vs curve = heat" of the craft I can mirror that in code now. So what you see is what you get. #racing #psx #gamedev #indiedev

To win the championship is to escape earth. But the game is rigged. Who is to be trusted?

Connections Puzzle #949 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Ey! Perfect in the right order finally :)

the ai is clipping through the track as I created an unvoluntary junction with the track looping back on itself how do you like the music, though? #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #psx #racing #racinggame #retro #retrographics

Always support your local tunnel game devs!

🚀🛸 Announcing: Toni's Turbo Tunnel 🛸🚀 A one button game for your phone with a new challenge every day. Play a quick round and compete on the daily leaderboards, you might even beat my score one day. Get it on the Play Store: play.google.com/store/apps/d...

The next million dollar idea is a Roguelike Roulette with many different balls and quests you bet on to progress at the board. Do with that what you want, I dont have time to do that now 😂

The first draft of the main menu - it was imperative to start in the tunnels and a round menu just fits and is easy to use with controller eventually. I want to push the menus to be as #diagetic as possible. #psx #ps1 #artstyle #3d #race #racinggame #indiedev #gamedev

We actually have learned in WWI how not to fight anymore. "The following year, a few units arranged ceasefires, but the truces were not nearly as widespread as in 1914; this was, in part, due to strongly worded orders from commanders, prohibiting truces." Never forget, who insinuates war actually.

The first version for Team: Hampton Systems! They use former tanks as the base for their racing machines. #3dmodelling #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #retrographics #psx #ps1 #racinggame #racetrack #racecar

Random flashback: my first ever job was being a pianoplayer at my local café that later got upgraded to pianoplaying waiter.

And here, one with supercharger for some extra acceleration #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #racinggame #psx

Immediate Revision of the "Tinnemann Vette 9-7". The german team is known for its bullyish behaviour on and off the track. Their craft pretty much goes straight only. Break the slipstream if they follow you to avoid damage or get pushed out of the way with force. #psx #retro #ps1 #racing #indiedev

Working on some new shapes for the different teams and to have more diversity in promo materials. These are hard to do in my editor and I need to implement some mirror editing options to easily shape them without counting the transformation steps in my head to keep the two sides equal. #3d #model

Some days I don't have anything to show, other days are like : a new mouse cursor ✨ it's the small wins 😆

Here is my entry and announcement trailer for the #gameawards 😅 ehem ehem #indiedev #trailer #racing #racinggame #narrative #adventure #retrp #psx #ps1 #artstyle #lowpoly #pixelart

I put together a little reel as a look and feel type of appetizer for Resistance Racing 2k97:

For me the baffling thing is not the use of ai, but the audacity to not even check the image, brush it up and correct it to your vision. Especially if you are a company who can PAY an artist and ENSURE the survival of a life that can help you in the future too. With art, taxes and so on.

It's a bit funny when using a dynamic texture instead of a static, feels like a big achievement :D It works, the framework holds - another feature I had on my mind and theoretic backburner for a long time until now.

Starting with the builders of those vast underground structures, a cult around St. Barbara developed. Some pilots are devoted to her and look for salvation in her arms.

I had a blast showing SerpenTiles at ViennaComicCon - no matter the age, people liked it - except the kids that were on a search for fortnite (as always 😂)

For this #RandomGameSaturday I'm going to bring one of my favorites from the PS3/360 generation. Faith's story across the rooftops of The City. Mirror's Edge. It's impossible not to play it without being overcome with the urge to run and jump, find fences to grab onto, and walls to do wall rides on.

Too stubborn to do anything else. I did (shitty) games in highschool IT and my teacher allowed it instead of whatever SQL else to learn. Dropped out of Uni bc of not learning anything about gamedesign/dev, but the programming was interesting. Still hacking away on my own until I showed a very (1/2)

Bc I got asked, I am doing this in @phaser.io with a little magical sprinkle of old version and a lot of elbow grease :)

You can either give in to the computer- or the more conventional gods. These are your last months on earth, so why not both maybe?

It's shiny :) or is it better in pars de course pixelation?

Does youtube also recommend year old already watched videos to you again lately?

There is this phase in development when you love your game and just play it. Observe, change and so on. That's a great one, because you just made your own toy to play with and you see if it gets boring or not. Currently I am weirdly compelled to just watch it - because autopilot just does its thing.

Trying and failing makes way better memories than never trying at all.

Remember everyone, when you look back at your life you'll remember the cool shit you tried, even if you failed, way more than you remember the boring safe choices. For indie game devs specifically, maybe your game fails, but you'll remember making a game more than working a safe desk job.

Nyum! Nyum!

Works flawlessly as you can see^

Formula Zero is the fictional racing leage of "Resistance Racing 2k97". Rushing through abandoned Hyperloops and other underground structures human built to escape the changing climate on earths surface.

📣 ICY TOWER IS COMING BACK Stoked to announce that we're making a brand new Icy Tower game, ready for the 25th anniversary next year! Check out the trailer, spread the news, and wishlist on Steam :D s.team/a/3014860 More in thread 👇🧵

When you are within the tunnel, it is actually super hard to realise the geometry of the track.

The enemy AI is not the brightest yet, but 20 crafts on the same track checks out. It searches for the most curvature to gain speed and has basic obstacle avoidance. 50 really started to bring the performance down with all the collision checks :D

In the end it's a lot of handy work.

Resistance Racing School 101: The more rake your craft has, the faster you will go. Pitch too much and you will grind your nose on the track or detach from it. The rake also influences your heat. Balance is key to keep the most speed through all corners without overheating.

Tried to model a F1 style craft instead of the wipEout style one. I am not too happy with it, but might explore further, how the track actually would shape the vehicles design. The tripod of a spaceship like triangle doesnt connect to the walls as much, as a flatter floorsucker I feel like.

What do you think looks better? Pixelart or lowres photo characers?

No time is lost doing weird different prototypes if you design them in a way that they can work together. On one hand you feel like you stagnated for years and did not finish your dearest projects, but on the other it's just a process of creating systems that later can interlock and work as a game!

Phew, billboarding sprites for 8way models are back in. This is crucial to see where a character is going to or looking at, while still essentially being flat. :)
