Adding this to the game really helped with making sure I spend more time playing our game than working on its development.

Luckily @ajkolenc.bsky.social is hooked too, so I don't feel too guilty.

if you watch the pulse bot you can tell when other racers have discovered a better route

A very fine run!

And yes, scores count even if you crash at the last checkpoint. Our racers risk it all.

my proudest pulse moment so far 🤩

Our prototype 'Pulse' just got a big update. We now have audio, a training program and some iconic challenges.

The video shows @ajkolenc.bsky.social setting a new record for the Sightseeing course.

The fillets are nice as they are subtle enough to not let the bright pink and green take over too much. And the black is smart too. Works well together.

You really put a lot of effort into the framing. I would not have thought of this option. It works very well.

Richard Boeser @richardboeser.bsky.social · 19d

Very cool. I find choosing a frame very difficult and can appreciate the effort that went into this.

This took a lot of time and effort @richardboeser.bsky.social but I'm extremely happy with the end results! Those custom ibb & obb colors took months to find. I IM'd you the lengthy process on that other site but later I might add the cliffnotes here. For now though: thank you once again for these!

I think Angry Robot is just so far away from anything you would do in a normal run. It makes it very hard to spot.

I designed a set of puzzles using Axe Ghost's mechanics. Those are now available as a bonus mode called Fragments.

I very much enjoyed making these, so why don't you all buy the game and convince Tomasz that he hires me for more.

Axe Ghost: Fragments Update is here. It adds 21 puzzles created by @richardboeser.bsky.social, from easy to fiendish. As ever, leaving a Steam review is *very* helpful and welcome.

Berlin people: playing live at @BerlinAtonal tonight in the OHM room at 22:30! even brought some tunes from the 2006 era along some newer stuff so that’ll probably make for a fun kettel menagerie
