Positiv Steam review

Positiv Steam review

It feels nice to get a new #Steam review, 2.5 years after your game was released ๐Ÿ˜

As this was my first solo #indiedev game, made in my spare time, this means a lot to me โค๏ธ

Next Stop: World Domination!

Just released v.1.5.1.9 of #SmellsLikeBurntRubber with small bugfixes all over the game ๐ŸŽ๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Release Notes: store.steampowered.com/news/app/219...

Now back to the new project! Currently, I'm a little bit "slow" - but it feels great to work on something new ๐Ÿ˜

Got some feedback that the Logitech F310 isnโ€™t working with #SmellsLikeBurntRubber.

Anyone know how I can test it without actually buying the controller? ๐Ÿ˜… #GamedevIsHard

Take a first look at our #UI ๐Ÿ‘€ Not yet final, but I think it's a good start.

And as bonus: most of the settings are already working ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Quick update! Hereโ€™s a screenshot from the settings dialog.
Iโ€™ll be sharing a video of the #UI soon.
Any guesses what kind of game we are working on? ๐Ÿ˜„

Needed a breather from the player controller, so I jumped into the #userinterface.
Not finished yet, but weโ€™re definitely moving forward ๐Ÿ˜

How to Lerp like a pro I see this sort of thing far too often: transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(startPos, endPos, Time.deltaTime); The person posting it is usually convinced that Vector3.Lerp is โ€œbrokenโ€, buโ€ฆ

To all #indiedevs out there. Check out this side! Tweaking your lerp time calcs is a total gamechanger ๐Ÿ˜Ž They just end up looking way smoother and more natural. No matter if in your UI or gameobjects.

Friday Update!

Weโ€™ve tweaked interactions - now the player can reach for objects and crouch.

Also added a small mini-game framework, starting with the very first โ€œGeneratorโ€ mini-game.

I know, itโ€™s not the prettiest yetโ€ฆ but hey, it works! ๐Ÿ˜…

Tough choice - guess thatโ€™s a problem for Friday-me to decide ๐Ÿ˜„

Made some slow progress on the player controller today... You can now aim, shoot, and reload โœ…

But aiming isnโ€™t quite there yet. Right now the arms donโ€™t move up or down to match the aim, Iโ€™m just rotating the weapon instead ๐Ÿ˜‚

Experimenting with gameplay triggers... like turning off the lights when you step into an area, or making them flicker ๐Ÿ’ก

Pretty cool how quickly I can set these up now ๐Ÿ˜

Long time no update... Iโ€™ve been enjoying some quality time with my wife and kids ๐Ÿ˜

But now Iโ€™m back at full speed! My friend has been working on the enemy AI, while I built an interaction system for the environment ๐Ÿšช and a fully functional inventory ๐ŸŽ’

Spent last weekend hiking with an old friend, and we brainstormed about game ideas. By the end of it, we had a game design document and are now diving into prototyping! ๐Ÿ˜€

Exciting things ahead - Stay tuned! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I just finished this book.

A lot of insides about #gamedesign. Once I'm back from vacation, I will update my design documents and implement my takeaways.

Now back to relaxing... Life is hard as #indiedev ๐Ÿ˜…
