We all needed a little breather. Everyone’s juggling family, kids, and work, and somehow Christmas is already around the corner (wait… how is it that time again???).

So yeah… updates have been a bit quiet 😁 #sparetimedeveloper

Might be time to dive into some research 🤖

Today, I'm working again on something completely new for me... Bones and Skinned Mesh Renderer.

More complex than I had thought! 😅

It feels nice to get a new #Steam review, 2.5 years after your game was released 😁

As this was my first solo #indiedev game, made in my spare time, this means a lot to me ❤️

Next Stop: World Domination!

Happy #Halloween from #SmellsLikeBurntRubber! 🎃

The track’s haunted, the tires are screaming, and the spirits are racing 🏁💀

Just released v.1.5.1.9 of #SmellsLikeBurntRubber with small bugfixes all over the game 🏎️🔥

Release Notes: store.steampowered.com/news/app/219...

Now back to the new project! Currently, I'm a little bit "slow" - but it feels great to work on something new 😁

Got some feedback that the Logitech F310 isn’t working with #SmellsLikeBurntRubber.

Anyone know how I can test it without actually buying the controller? 😅 #GamedevIsHard

Take a first look at our #UI 👀 Not yet final, but I think it's a good start.

And as bonus: most of the settings are already working 👌

#indiedev #gamedev #unity
October 22, 2025 at 2:49 PM
Quick update! Here’s a screenshot from the settings dialog.
I’ll be sharing a video of the #UI soon.
Any guesses what kind of game we are working on? 😄

Diving back into my ancient #SmellsLikeBurntRubber code base. It’s been ages since I last touched this part… 🫨

Needed a breather from the player controller, so I jumped into the #userinterface.
Not finished yet, but we’re definitely moving forward 😁

To all #indiedevs out there. Check out this side! Tweaking your lerp time calcs is a total gamechanger 😎 They just end up looking way smoother and more natural. No matter if in your UI or gameobjects.

Friday Update!

We’ve tweaked interactions - now the player can reach for objects and crouch.

Also added a small mini-game framework, starting with the very first “Generator” mini-game.

I know, it’s not the prettiest yet… but hey, it works! 😅

Trying to figure out what to share as this week’s progress. I’ve been jumping between a bunch of different tasks…

Tough choice - guess that’s a problem for Friday-me to decide 😄

Made some slow progress on the player controller today... You can now aim, shoot, and reload ✅

But aiming isn’t quite there yet. Right now the arms don’t move up or down to match the aim, I’m just rotating the weapon instead 😂

Late with my weekly update - oops 😁

Experimenting with gameplay triggers... like turning off the lights when you step into an area, or making them flicker 💡

Pretty cool how quickly I can set these up now 😁

Long time no update... I’ve been enjoying some quality time with my wife and kids 😁

But now I’m back at full speed! My friend has been working on the enemy AI, while I built an interaction system for the environment 🚪 and a fully functional inventory 🎒

Spent last weekend hiking with an old friend, and we brainstormed about game ideas. By the end of it, we had a game design document and are now diving into prototyping! 😀

Exciting things ahead - Stay tuned! 😉

Preparing for a hiking weekend with a friend. We will take our notebooks with us and try out some gameplay ideas.

I just finished this book.

A lot of insides about #gamedesign. Once I'm back from vacation, I will update my design documents and implement my takeaways.

Now back to relaxing... Life is hard as #indiedev 😅
