#ScreenshotSaturday ! This freeware split-screen retro-inspired racing game now has a beta you can try :--) The web version might run choppy (try the potato setting, or download the game for a better experience). Comments and feedback is welcome (here or on Itch). ottoojala.itch.io/autopeli #Godot

The team met Jole yesterday — a super talented Wirral-based programmer who’s designed, built, and self-published their own top-down shooter on Steam: 👉 store.steampowered.com/app/3238790/... Seriously impressive solo work. Studios — snap them up 👀 @noba.games #GameDev #IndieDev #SteamGames

Sektori (week 195): That's it. Redid the level colors. The last non-technical todo done. I fear I ruined it all. I'm sure I'll go back and forth a zillioin times still. Anyway. I've given all my brains. Every one of them. I have no brain left. Now I'm taking two weeks off. Bye. #indiedev #gamedev

Sektori is a game so colorful that videos of it look broken? Sektori is a game I think, it's been so long I'm not sure anymore? Who am I pitching to anyway? I'm confused. #PitchYaGame

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Sektori (week 195): Well here's my first picks for CJK fonts. No idea how they feel for native readers. Going to do an 'indulgence task' for the rest of the week before starting on consoles. Not starting now as I'm taking the next two weeks off and I want to start that fresh. #indiedev #gamedev

Sektori (week 195): Everything now has localization and is localized to Finnish. 900 ids, 3900 English words. Also added rumble support and Steam rich presence. Now need to setup Asian fonts. I have no idea how they look to readers, so likely picking a Comic Sans equivalent. 🤦‍♂️ #indiedev #gamedev

Adults can remember their age by first thinking how many places hurt simultaneously. That’s the tens. The ones is on the scale of 0-9 how much dread you feel about getting old.

Sektori trailer is starting to show its age a bit (Coming 2024, yeah right). But let's go once more! Wishlist on Steam, high five me or do a backflip! #wishlistwednesday #indiegame

Sektori (week 194): Menus and tutorial localized. Now the only the ingame texts remaining. 809 localization entries and 3331 English words so far. Wildly underestimated how much text is in this game! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Every Mission Impossible has succeeded so far. I feel we’re being lied to.

Sektori (week 193): End of week. 500 localization entries and 2k English words fished out of code. Still a lot to go. Regretting my life choices. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Does anyone else find romance options in games really creepy? It feels like I'm just picking any person and they immediately drop their pants in response to my witty repertee (aka obvious dialogue choices). For once in my life I'd like an NPC to tell me to "fuck off creep" and leave the game.

Sektori (week 193): Fishing strings out of code to be localized. 393 localization entries so far with 1381 English words. Probably 300+ entries more to go, let's see. You'd think a shmup would have just a few words, but there's a lot of just "stuff" in this game. #indiedev #gamedev

NPC: Triwinter Conbaurs of Ascendon are fighting Karbendi Cult to zelax Ganderdown so we must prevent Ichmar from rising and Echters of Ychter from forming the Ougasth shadow of Morxäum. Also same NPC: I wonder if we need to open that door? I wonder if that's the key, two meters to the right?

constantly lowkey annoyed that we dont have a norm of micro payments for articles. i dont want to make a new account, i dont want another subscription, i want to give you the cost of a cup of bad drip coffee and then i want to read the article. that's it.

Sektori (week 192): Setting up systems for localization. Options menu is now using it, rest will follow next week. Going through the strings is a very concrete view into how your budget flows. Every word costs real money when doing many languages. #indiedev #gamedev

Sektori (week 192): Made a 'soundtrack' mode to play a DJ mix of our tracks. Also tried to move from Unity 2022 to 6 but some annoying issues there made me reconsider if I actually should do it now or not. Will decide later. Next I'll start setting up localization to the project. #indiedev #gamedev

Sektori (week 191): Crossing the t:s and dotting i:s. If the game was English/Windows only, I could probably press the release button now. But no, a lot of work remains to give the release as wide reach as I can. I think the game deserves it. Final push! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #madewithunity

Sektori (week 191): Decided redo the text-only mutator menu to have proper icons instead so it looks a bit better. Turned out nice. Onwards. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame
