As my followers here are mostly devs, here is a “developer” screenshot ;)
It shows a tool I created inside #unrealengine to test and visualize ball trajectories for my upcoming padel game #padel4padel

Sharing a work-in-progress screenshot of my new project: “PADEL 4 PADEL”. I’ve been quietly working on it for a few months now. A 3D sports game is a huge change from the usual 2D puzzle games, but I’m loving it and learning a lot.

21 years ago, I released Shapy, a shareware game on PC sold for $9.99, directly on my website (no Steam or store front).

I personally loved the tools available on Google Play to update your descriptions programmingly using their API. In Steam, I can automate almost everything as well, but it's more difficult on iOS (requiring other tools).
As I have 20 languages in my game, automation is really important ;)

Just purchased the All-in-1 bundle, just for the Store Assets tool 😁 Thanks!

Only took me a few months as a solo dev to port my game (not using unreal/unity), support the hardware, add controller support, deal with certifications... It's not that hard. The game was small and 2D (puzzle game), but still. Took me about the same time for PS and Xbox each.

Been working on prototypes for a few months now. I’m confident the current one will make it to release, so I just bought the Steam submission fee! #scary #exciting #gamedev #indiedev

That was very interesting, as usual! Thanks.
I was wondering if you ever made a trailer for a sports game? Or if you have good sports game trailers in mind?
It's a special genre because there's no story, not so many surprises, you have to show if it's arcade or simulation. Any thoughts?

Cool, merci des infos. Je trouve ça pas mal. Je vois aussi d'autres avantages pour la lisibilité:
- Ça assure que le code reste regroupé
- Ça reste bien lisible, sans avoir à commenter vu que les noms de lambdas sont explicites.

28.08.2025 16:04 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

Hello! J'ai regardé 3-4 fichiers source, je trouve étonnant cette syntaxe avec des lambdas un peu partout. C'est ta manière de "ranger" le code? Pour simuler ce qu'on trouve sur d'autres langages avec les fonctions locales? Où il y a une raison? J'avais rarement vu un usage de cette façon en C++ ;)

28.08.2025 15:18 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

Yes, it's much better now. Being able to skip boring parts of trailers instantly with loading makes a big difference! Previously, I would close the page, now I can at least find and watch the gameplay part ;)

Without pre-orders, the release day is also the first time players see the price of the game. I therefore feel that your ratio can also show whether your audience feels the price is fair.

Congrats! I hope to reach it in a few years as well (33/50 with a game released 16 months ago).
Did you see any increase of steam page visits?

Unbelievable that Windows 11 doesn't show up the "Visual Studio Installer" app when I search for "visual installer"...

What is this actually doing? (if that's not confidential).
I'm almost only coding in C++ in Unreal and this screenshot makes me wonder how much C++ it would require.

Even better: write your own solver. That way, you're are certain not to ship impossible levels ;)

#indiegamedev tip: Always make sure there is something fun or interesting at the top of your todo list when ending your day.
It will keep you motivated for the next day!

It looks like you don’t plan a SteamVR version. As a player with a Valve Index, that’s a shame for me.
But as a developer, I’m really curious. I’ve seen other games make the same choice. Is it technically complex? (What engine are you using?) Or is the SteamVR market really tiny and not worth it?

Moi aussi, mais sûrement pas y'a si longtemps, j'étais pas né. Ah bah si, j'ai 45 ans en fait.
Je me rappelle du cylindre avec le mur au milieu que je galérais trop à passer 😀 Et l'éditeur de niveaux
