I'm team orbit all the way too! I blame it on decades of Maya usage. "F" to focus on the desired object, then orbit with Alt + LMB.

The games industry is screwed 2.0

I spent well over a month talking to investors to get the actual data behind whatโ€™s happening to the games industry. I was going to say โ€œenjoy!โ€ but itโ€™s, uh, not great.

Got a new review for CrossยทKrush that is obviously written by AI, and they didn't even care to fill in the blanks...

Carboardiy - Building System sneak peek
YouTube video by Thinice Games Carboardiy - Building System sneak peek

This is how you build a simple vehicle from scratch in #Carboardiy - (You can also use pre-made parts to speed up the process even more! This took about 10mins)

I tried to mimic what you'd do in real life: cut, bend, paint!

Thanks! For building, I tried to replicate what you'd do in real life with cardboard: start with a plane piece & cut it out to get the shape you need in 2D; Then, bend it and place it where you want. Finally, paint it :)

I'll upload a timelapse of the 10min car in a moment!

Hello #screenshotsaturday
I'm working on #Carboardiy, an arcade racing sandbox where you can create your own vehicles, tracks and events. You can even print any vehicle to build it in real life if you feel extra creative! โœ‚๏ธ ๐Ÿš™ โ™ฅ๏ธ

A white & red open wheel car made out of cardboard is visible from behind, heading towards the famous curve "Eau Rouge" from the "Spa" track in Belgium. The track itself is built out of cardstock. A grandstand is visible in the background.

A real black & yellow car made out of cardstock sits on top of a green cutting mat on a desktop. Behind it there's a PC monitor showing the exact same car inside the videogame. An ergonomic keyboard and some figurines are also visible.

Hi! I'm a #gamedev currently working on "Carboardiy", a racing game that unleashes your creativity: build your own cardboard vehicles, drive them on your own stages, and when you feel they're ready for production... print them out & build them in real life!

To give my car game a less prototype-like look, I'm looking for low-poly/res props: cones, tires, barriers, guardrails, signs, floor markings, arches, ramps, rotating arms, bumps, etc.

Those of you into car game dev, do you have any resources or person you could recommend? #gamedev #unity #NoAI

Finished the cardboard version!

The resulting model is much sturdier than the paper version (as expected) but it's more difficult to work on the small details, at least at this scale (1:24).

It's finished! I had to improvise along the way, but that's what makes it fun, right? At least the layout printed from the game gets you 95% of the way there.

Next up: Build it using cardboard instead of paper ๐Ÿ™‚
