I've set up a bundle with Go Kart Island, if you have that then Turbo Hatchback is only ยฃ2.69! ยฃ4.78 to get both games if you have neither at the moment, which is basically FREE.

We're still a bit too close to launch for me to have an objective view of causes etc, but safe to say Into the Slimy Mines has 28 100% positive Steam reviews, but hasn't done nearly what we hoped sales-wise. So any shares are massively appreciated store.steampowered.com/app/3639440/...

#PitchYaGame What if Rocket League met art of rally? ๐Ÿค” Then you'd get Turbo Hatchback Time Attack! Tight drifting combines with in-air controls as you pull off stunts, avoid obstacles and keep that turbo charged as you aim for the top of the leaderboards. store.steampowered.com/app/4488590/

No this isn't a TYPO, Go Kart Island really is now only $4.99 / ยฃ3.99 at full price! ๐Ÿคฏ Grab a copy on Steam, or Switch. OR... both? Sure why not.

Absolutely love setting up Steam tags. I had 3 of the 4 games I wanted already, tried tweaking it to include the last game, made it worse, and now when I go back to the original tags and order it only shows 2 of the games. SO MUCH FUN THANK YOU STEAM! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Had the misfortune of stumbling on a Reddit thread checking how busy a tea shop next to Rockstar North was (cause Scotland is next to England, and English people prefer tea to pizza) as some kind of sign something about GTA6 was being announced. I hate the world.

I know what you're thinking. "Wow, 60% off Go Kart Island. What a steal! This is surely an APRIL FOOLS." Well it's not, 60% off on Steam until 11th April! 60% is actually more than half, fact fans. $3.99 / โ‚ฌ3.59 / ยฃ3.19 #videogame #videogames #indiegame #indiegames #steam #gaming #games

Actually working on gameplay today instead of UI, or leaderboards, or localisation, or marketing, or progress systems, or setting up Steam for the first time in a month. Oh yeah, I forgot this part was actually fun. ๐Ÿฅณ

Woke up last Saturday with a pulled right calf muscle (injured in my sleep, a new low) and just as I was about to resume exercising I've smacked my left shin off the car door and it hurts to stand. On the bright side, it's another excuse not to exercise and eat mini eggs.

More screenshots from the Northern California inspired level of my super arcadey flippy hatchback time attack game ๐Ÿฅณ Got a Steam page mostly set up, just need to sort out a launch trailer and some other boring stuff before it goes live ๐Ÿ™Œ #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Some screenshots from the California level of my super arcadey flippy hatchback time attack game ๐Ÿฅณ Hopefully will get a Steam page published in March ๐Ÿ™Œ #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Spent way too long trying to generate guard rails along splines today (and now I hate splines) but ended by bashing together a knock off Glenfinnan Viaduct which looks PRETTY GOOD ๐Ÿ˜Œ That's going to make a good alternate route if you can jump on to it ๐Ÿ‘€ #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Scotland level looking more Scotland by the minute. Who needs the sun when you have a yellow hatchback? ๐Ÿšซ๐ŸŒž #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

First proper level I'm going to make is going to be in Scotland so better fix that skybox I got off the asset store to the right colour โ˜๏ธ #indiedev #gamedev
