Worked the whole week to get this nice event selection screen ready

Smooth animations and plenty of information about upcoming events, it's so much better than the old one

I've implemented dead zone and linearity settings for analog controls. I expected it to be a 15 minute job, took 2 whole days. It's a little rough at the moment, but the feature is released in the latest patch. Go try it out!

#gamedev #indiedev

Not really as cool as proper ray-traced audio but obstacles and terrain now modify the sound volume. You can hear how engines get louder as cars get in sight

Coming soon into beaterCore!

#gamedev #indiedev

Working on various thread patterns

New beautiful wheel particle effects were added in beaterCore Demo 0.0.16!

Working on improving particles

I hoped for slightly more but 400 isn't a horrible number with limited marketing resources I got. Just gotta hope some youtuber will make my game popular I guess xD

Some demo release analytics

I got ~400 wishlist additions

~100 came from a reddit post. But I can't recommend that since I got shadow banned after attempting to post there again.

~200 came from announcements in various discord channels
The rest seem to be organic

#gamedev #indiedev

New game mechanics coming to #beaterCore
Resting will allow to skip a day if you can't find car/item you want. Current day of the week is now displayed in the hub UI to help with tracking time.
Hub UI has been modified to better highlight selected locations on controller

#gamedev #indiedev

Spent a looot of time on these store assets
but I think it was worth it

I just got shadowbanned on reddit for making a second post promoting my game. I was pretty sure I was following all of the guidelines
Reddit is god awful lol, doesn't even tell you that you got banned, or the reason

Hey everyone. The Allumeria Steam page is currently down because Microsoft has filed a false DMCA claim on it. They sent an email earlier today claiming that this screenshot infringes on their copyright. I am taking a moment to figure out what my path is going forward, will update soon. #gamedev

I hope this launch goes well for me xD

I think I got cold for AeroGPX after playing the demo aswell. 100% a game I would buy if I didn't try it first, but after playing the demo I've learned I'm definitely not the target audience

This is one of the biggest maps yet, whole 768x768m, and it's the first to have room for multiple circuit layouts for different racing disciplines. Coming to the demo soon!

#gamedev #indiedev

That's the first house asset that I've made for a racing circuit.
I'm currently working on creating more time-attack maps into the game. Could be related to the fact that I've just implemented pacenotes... But tsss! That's a secret!

Graphics development tip:
Never develop on Nvidia GPU. Driver is too forgiving, and the moment you test your perfectly functional code on anything else it just break into pieces
