Hej! We're I.M.I.Self, just a tiny lil studio making stuff!

Our debut title, Just Keep Running, blends Portal's puzzles & aesthetic with Mirror's Edge's freerunning movement.

You can check out the Chapter 1 & 2 Demo on Steam! :D

And they say that two legends cannot coexist.
I bet they feel stupid now. 😎

An itch collection. Only two games are on it, Hole House (a notoriously NSFW game), and Just Keep Running (which is our parkour platformer, definitely SFW, game)

2024 has been a year of personal growth for me and my company.
2024 has also been a very conflicted and sometimes scary year for a lot of us.

So I wanted to talk to y'all a bit about this year and our plans for the next one.
Happy new year, and hope to see y'all in 2025! :D

FYI: The @imiself.se Discord is for the community, where we can hang out and have fun.

It is NOT for doing business with me.

DO NOT join the Discord just to DM me out of the blue about business stuff. It's weird, unprofessional, and uncomfortable.

We have an email for that: [email protected]

Throwback to earlier in the year when OUR GAME WAS ON THE STEAM NEXT FEST LIVE STREAM! 🤩🤩🤩

I was in a call with my friends watching the stream, and we all collectively yelled with joy when it appeared :D

University life has kept us busy, but we are cooking some stuff!

Q1 Next year, expect some... juicy announcements. Less radio silence, that's for sure 🤭

For Thursday, a simple yet important tip.
Tweaking is key 🔑

Here's Victor to explain how Tweaking lead to the player controller we have in our game Just Keep Running! :D

Initially, jumping down the catwalk in Level 1-3 wasn't meant to be possible, but shoutouts to the ✨speedrunners and playtesters✨ for finding a way.

It's an easter egg now, cause why get rid of it and ruin the fun? :P

Always love polishing up features and adding small, but useful stuff ☺️

For example, when we polished Time Trials so that the UI shows the cause of death, and also audibly/visually warns you when time is running low :D

Giving options can be a great thing! :D

In Just Keep Running, the walljump count shows up as a fullscreen effect, but this can be intrusive to some.

Instead of being fullscreen, you can also have a smaller, less intrusive modal that appears at the top of the screen! 😁

Here's how the Dynamic Music System in our game Just Keep Running works! 🎵🔊

We used FMOD to create a simple and effective "Intensity State" system that transitions the music based on in-game events.

More details below! 🧵

📢 ALT TEXT PSA

Game Devs. Quick nudge to say that adding alt-text to images and videos is very much the norm on Bluesky.

Outside of the obvious accessibility/inclusion win, some folks have their feeds set up so your posts won't even show up on their feed unless it has alt-text

Spread the word 👍🏻
