This comes after I checked what happens if I search for myself as a company used the wrong logo (of not me) for an event. Can be a human error, but shows how these things can get jumpled up in the big jumble up machine...

Since I recently mostly uploaded to instagram, I hereby pay my duty ๐Ÿซก The 3d trackmap I wanted to do since day one (which is a year ago by this point) It reveals the true shape of the track you are racing on, because from within the tunnel its not easy to gauge #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #ps1

So me sharing my phone number in a DM on instagram and today getting multiple phone calls from different countries is no coincidence - is it? ๐Ÿค”

70 FuรŸballfelder Ackerland, Millionen Liter Kรผhlwasser und ein enormer Stromverbrauch โ€“ das Google-Rechenzentrum in Kronstorf betrifft die Region nachhaltig. Es braucht jetzt mehr Bรผrger_innenbeteiligung und eine transparente Gesamtprรผfung. Unterschreibe dafรผr hier: mein.aufstehn.at/petitions/st...

I dont envy backend engineers. Everytime I have to setup a ssh connection to a server (the same server, mind you) something is different. Nothing works. Endless config tinkering ensues. But once it works I feel like a fucking magician - or a Matrix Operator ๐Ÿ˜Ž

This weekend I'll be at Gamers Heaven in Tyrol for the first time. Not with the usual one fame but with a big booth and three of them! Insane - ai hope to see you there! ๐Ÿ˜Š #expo #tyrol #gamedev

I hate the narrative around #ai; the "annoyance of coding", "people don't enjoy the way of creating music" or art Like wtf why are you so loud with your lazyness? Where is the fun of creating? The process of learning, the gaining experience? Its called development not stopping.

I havent been googling for a while; look how depressing it looks right now o.O and the UI mess with a + button, but also the other buttons to the right additional to the two lower ones... #ui #ux #google #interface #design #flatdesign #monochrome #bigtech

Staring into the abyss like something is definitely not quite right here. My formula for a smooth curve was not so smooth after all ๐Ÿ˜… Working beautifully in the next toot: #bughunt #bugs #blooper #gamedev #indiedev #psx #retro #racinggame

The tutorial is working ok right now, but what the people seem to need is somewhere to practice where to sit in a corner to be fast. That should ease them into their first race which almost everyone just wanted and expected to win.

Some duels in the tunnel 1 / 2 Or racing while looking in the wrong direction ๐Ÿ˜‚ #resistanceracing #lowpoly #pixelart #ps1 #y2k #racinf #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Crash and burn. Sometimes you risk it, catch fire and run it into the wall. Other times your risk will be rewarded greatly. Lets hope for the latter, no matter what presses down on your heart at the moment. #resistanceracing #indiedev #gamedev #metro #racing #crash #psx #y2kstyle #lowpoly #pixelart

some #screenshotsaturday goodness - I hope at least, it's some goodness^^ it's a long and complicated journey with a lot of bugs, for a slow paced story with fast paced racing Resistance Racing 2k97 - whishlist on steam! #ps1style #2ykaesthetics #indiedev #racinggame #racing #narrative #gamedev

Foxxy oversees her ag craft and new promotional poster in the hangar but a new and strange picture showed up on the walls. 1/2 #resistanceracing #psxstyle #y2kaesthetics #xboxgreen #gamedev #indiedev #npc #racinggame

I forgot to add a border to the images, but building all the i game ads is a lot of fun :) #ads #indiedev #gamedev #psxstyle #ps1 #xbox #xboxgreen #y2k #aesthetics

Manfred Hogmeister, people would think you call him "Manny" but actually he is calle "Hog" - because he is one. ๐Ÿ— #gamedev #npc #resistanceracing #ps1 #racinggame #pilot #indiedev #artstyle #y2k

Samantha Fox; callsign Foxxy has a radiating smile, engine and deathly stare if you dont play along her rules. Do not undererstimate her, she is not moody, you just have not earned her trust yet. How donyou do it? Dont ask me, she does not trust me either. #npc #y2k #design #indiedev #ps1 #psx #ps2

D: But intelligence has nothing to do with knowledge. You can be very intelligent but know nothing. And such are the people we need for the rocket. Otherwise the knowledge would go to waste. P: You might know a lot, but you are not very intelligent. Because you are down here with us. *shutsthedoor*

Most pilots hang out at Cafรฉ Stadtpark. It serves as a nice living room for most people who want to get away from the usual rusty metal walls, sit in a rundown room with grimey tapestry and sip on a warm cup of mushroom coffee. #gamedev #indiedev #ps1 #retro #npc #graphics #writing #psx #graphics

Quick Pro Tipp for the holidays: if you are on a recipe site (or any site really) with a very pesky cookie banner. (Even our local supermarket wants to send my data to another country [america hgrm] if I want to see the opening times) Just: devtools > view source

I expected Nasa to run (their own) linux for something critical like a journey through space ๐Ÿ˜…

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

Yall - I get it, 3d perspective makes things really weird. I thought this was a perfectly normal sized PC until I sat a character in front of it ๐Ÿ˜… #psx #retrographics #indiedev #gamedev #retrogame #resistanceracing

Bow down, to the machine god! This old church, now underground serves as the Resistance hideout and dance club. Tomorrow I will shoot new NPC character pics and I am super looking forward to populate that place :) #indiedev #gamedev #resistance #club #church #psx #ps1 #retro #racing

A lot of things in life are like Pi - you'll approximate it but you'll ever just get close. Appreciate how close you got, you don't need to nail it everytime. Happy #pi day!

My daily puzzle game SerpenTiles won "Best Mobile Gameplay" on Reddit's recent hackathon! :) Thanks to everyone who helped me bring this baby to life, with feedback, music and especially hammertime studio for connecting the game to reddits backend ๐Ÿซถ #award #indiedev #gamedev #daily #puzzle #reddit

Showing my new game for the first time at a con went over well! So maybe maybe, the split between narrative and racing gameplay works out just fine :) I got a lot of valueable player feedback - everybody loved to touch the roomba character for some reason

Running through the cables of the matrix ๐ŸŒ in Resistance Racing 2k97 its a bit of an eyesore if you do it for too long - but hey, thats the price of taking part in the resistance #racing #racinggame #psx #ps1 #retro #retrographics #gamedev #indiedev
