Hey all! A lil update for those on here who still check for Zoomies updates:

Multiplayer is still coming! There are a lot of bugs and niggles to sort out before I am happy with releasing an MP demo!

Apologies for the delay. MP is very complex and takes a while to implement!

Ryan 🎮 🐱 @scarletgames.bsky.social · Aug 2

The next update will be a test for multiplayer 😋

Sorry about the video glitching at the beginning. I promise that is the recording software!

Ryan 🎮 🐱 @scarletgames.bsky.social · Jun 5

I know some of you have been waiting a while for this next Zoomies update, so I have made a quick gameplay video showing off a race using one of the TWO cats being introduced in the next update. Can you tell what they are?

Coming this weekend!

Turns out implementing a localisation system as well as a UI refresh is a MASSIVE task. One that I grossly underestimated 😅

No word on the release of Zoomies 0.9.7 for now, but I'll be working on a meaty Dev Diary so I can show you all what I've been working on!

Just found out Marathon is PVP :(((
I was hoping more for a "Helldivers" kind of co-op. But it still looks cool!

Ryan 🎮 🐱 @scarletgames.bsky.social · Apr 13

Marathon looks awesome! We need more co-op! MORE!

tip for horror game devs: attach a light source to your first-person player models.

just a small low-emitting light, just enough for a player lost in darkness to see a nearby wall if they were close enough to it or the floor they're standing on.

even horror games need accessibility and QoL.
