📌 Hey there, I'm Ollie :D

I'm a UK game developer currently working on Railway Life: a slice-of-life exploration game where you travel around an island on the forgotten railways, with your own steam engine 🚂

Got a lot of feedback from my last Railway Life video, there seemed a large amount of people who really wanted shunting. After a gruelling amount of effort to get it working I can admit...

...okay maybe shunting is kinda fun

I don't know how to fix this, but it keeps happening.

Three panels. In each panel, two people are standing next to a 6 (or a 9) and arguing about what it is.

Panel #1: "What we're told is happening." One says it's a 6, the other says it's a 9. Together, they say, "We're both right. We just have different points of view!"

Panel #2: "What needs to happen." One says 6, the other says 9. Together, they say, "Somebody drew this. We need to use the evidence at hand to get as close as we can to the objective truth."

Panel #3: "What's actually happening. One says 6. The other points straight at the symbol on the ground and says there is nothing there. The first person says, "I... What?"

While I was at it, experimented with another, more manual option of speed control. Tried it as a way to have the player more involved in the train control, but I'm not convinced so far. Will need to explore more...

Trying to make the train controls a bit more fluid and reactive to drag + slopes. Decided to give the UI a bit of a facelift too. It's going to take me a long time to get it right, but it's a start!

Traditional mixed media art, Pokémon fan art of Squirtle sitting on the seashore. It’s bright and sunny. Squirtle is smiling and wearing a yellow straw hat with a blue ribbon.

didn't try that, but Unity ran fine the next day. Turns out having the program open all day will make it slow down...😅

Somehow managed to get my game in to the #GMTKJam this year, where your actions are controlled through a looping timeline track. Lots of issues but pretty proud of it at least as a proof-of-concept

Definitely need to consider whether I want to put up with Unity for gamejams in the future. With short deadlines I can't deal with having to wait 1+ minutes every time I enter play mode or make a small change to a script...
