Iโ€™m working on this idea for #GMTKJam. Two buttons, two loops minimalist rhythm game.

Hey. Iโ€™m not completely sure, because of my initial work (which was vanilla 1.0 version of the game), there was some more work done by other people, including publisher. But as far as I know, there is no hidden star on Android version.

Working a bit on the UI for my small puzzle game. Wanted to try something more interesting this time, so I ended up with these flipping tiles. What do you think?

Not sure yet. Really depends on what I decide to do with it. But hopefully soon.

Made this small math puzzle game last week during Puzzle Game Jam. Unfortunately I didnโ€™t manage to hit the deadline, but I will finish it anyway. Missing just some win animation, levels and menu :) #madewithunity #indiegame

Beat Saber nears 10 million players on Meta Quest Beat Saber is approaching its next major milestone: nearly ten million people have played the VR game on Meta Quest alone.

Almost 10 million Beat Saber players on Quest only. Nice! mixed-news.com/en/beat-sabe...

Today is the 7th anniversary of Beat Saber! I found this cool screenshot of the commit history. It really shows that the real work began once the game was out :D

When updating to Unity 6000.0.47f1 my fixed timestep got set to 0.0001. Most of the projects will loose tons of FPS so it's pretty easy to figure this out, but on small projects I see only tiny bit different physics behavior :) @unity.com

It uses some weird system to render UI and texts, so sometimes it's almost unreadable. Not because of the size of the text, but it really looks weird. I'm not sure what's the issue, but I hope it will be fixed soon.

I just wish it worked better on Steam Deck.

It doesnโ€™t have to be crunch though. Most of my latest Ludum Dare entries were made in quite chill atmosphere, really working just not more than 12 hours in 2 days. For me itโ€™s usually about figuring out what can be done like that, not working hard on something super complex.

Hmm I have one idea for this :) Also extremely limited time to do something. Letโ€™s see where this goes.
