Today's update introduces the Super Board: a leaderboard that reveals the top 100 players across every timed course. Each player is scored based on their ranks achieved on each course. It also displays average rank, and combined time.

Finally started developing the level editor for The Local about 2 weeks ago! I wrote a devlog discussing what's already been done, and what's to come. Not too sure when the update will be out, but it's shaping up to be a great one! #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #games #devlog #thelocal

I sat down with Tobey Gronow @tobey-jinc.bsky.social , the solo dev behind The Local—a high-speed, parkour-heavy FPS that throws you into a playground of momentum and mayhem. We talked about how the game came to life, and what’s next for this breakout indie hit.

Just released a small update to conclude the April Fools' event. I've also created an up to date modding branch (v1.1.0). #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #games #thelocal

Just updated my Curator page with a fistful of games I've played over the past couple weeks!
As always, check out the Lists page for stuff broken up into easily digestable themes, or sort by Top Sellers and dig downwards for increasingly deep indie cuts.

While the leaderboards have been reset, you can still view the old boards in game with the new timeline feature.

Today's update introduces a reworked Slide Boost. The old boost was way too powerful and was blurring the line between skill and luck. Alongside this change, the leaderboards have been reset.
