Ah didn't know that. Knew there was the sleep bug for laptops but didn't know it also affected desktops too. (both my devices are running Windows 10)

Hey #racinggame fans!
If you're looking for a familiar, yet new take on a racing game, give the Take The Wheels! demo a try!
After having worked on it for ~4 years, it's huge to now finally take part in a #SteamNextFest! Feedback on the game has been solid locally, just need a global opinion now!
Being told by someone that they "would do unspeakable things to me" is one of the most scary and interesting things someone has ever said to me I think in a *very* long time.
Also one of the way more ego boosting moments of all time too, so there's that.
I do not know what to do with my life anymore. It all feels so... meaningless...

This is one way to test Take The Wheels! working on a Steam Deck! On a plane at 39,000ft! Worked like a charm! (with low shadows for 60fps). Had 18hrs on this flight so figured I may as well. #screenshotsaturday #steamdeck #gaming #racinggames #indiegamedev #indiegames

And here it is! The reveal trailer for Take The Wheels!
A refreshing take on racing games where you pilot your hovercar using asymmetric thrust (like rowing but with rockets!)
Wishlist the game on Steam today! And give the demo a play!

*Playing MCC Halo 3 with friends*
Me: "Wow, these player shadows have a really short distance before they no longer appear"
Friend: "What? Oh yeah wait, makes sense that you've really pick out that kinda stuff now"
Me: "Huh? Oh right yeah good point haha"

The difference adding a far more visible path has to a track makes a huge difference!
Also, 1 week away from the Take The Wheels! reveal trailer!!!
#ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #indiedev #UnrealEngine #UE5
Holy crap I've been lazy this week. Bugger all work done on my game and it's going to be in a showcase in a weeks time. I uhh... may want to do some work on it :P #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames
29.11.2024 05:12 — 👍 6 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0I swear when I mention my game and how I say the one thing it lacks is visuals, people say to me "Oh people don't care about that! They care about gameplay!". If that were true I should have wayyy more wishlists with how often I get told by a player that they have never played a racing game like it.

Realised I have never really shared this art at all anywhere (other than it being on my discord pfp for ~1 year). Got it a few years ago when I was becoming more confident using the #UnrealEngine! And now I have a game I am very proud to show!

Quick update on Take The Wheels!, and what better way to do that than by taking part in @theindiebrew.com.au's "ANZ Indie Showcase Summer Edition" showcase!
What will be shown with Take The Wheels? Well... how does a reveal trailer sound? That's big right? And an interview as well?
Having a friend play my game and within the first 5 seconds go "Oh... OH damn, this is amazing. You've cooked with this game" is one of the most reassuring things I could hear after working on Take The Wheels! for over 4 years now. Can't wait until I have the visuals sorted out!
#indiegamedev #UE5
Recording game footage and having the realisation when coming to encode it after being edited that it was all cropped awkwardly... great fun! (thought it was a visual glitch in premiere's preview). Lesson learnt! Check OBS capture settings properly next time!

Exciting news for my game! I now have (somewhat) working AI/bot support! #UE5 Learning Agents are insanely good!
Bad news: I realised how heavily I built alot of game system's for having an actual player controlling the car, so been fixing all of that!
Footage of it all hopefully soon!
Alright, let's do this #PitchYaGame!
