O. Kaya | Wishlist HRSPWR

After years of optimizing my mechanics and presentation for an arcade racer that lives up to the greats; HRSPWR Now has a TRAILER and STEAM PAGE(↓) #gamedev #indie

Adding panel gaps to my cars, how does it look? I think it's an upgrade. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #racing #blender3d

Becoming indie(or starting to succeed) post 2020 feels like having arrived at a party after it ended sometimes

Demoing HRSPWR at @mobidictum.bsky.social Busy but nice first day, meet me tomorrow in the indie area and try my game!

one day from a convention and hence I have given up on things like 'clean code' or 'expandable architecture' or 'mod support', and am gamejam-style tossing bullshit into the project. I missed this, its so much more productive than having a godforsaken trello and planning my interconnected systems

expanded my mind and achieved the OPTIMAL racing line [New track layouts and basic career structure are in!!] #gamedev #racing #wishlistwednesday

Turned 26 today!

Got a banner for the @mobidictum.bsky.social convention next week! meet me there and try my game

I'm very excited to reveal my new platforming adventure game TALON TOWERS, that I've been working on in collaboration with @quinnkdev.bsky.social and @hyphinett.bsky.social! Full Gameplay Showcase: youtu.be/nJUOSt1bgyE Wishlist TALON TOWERS on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/5272510/...

HRSPWR has really good engine audio. How? Well, we record actual cars with the right engine config! here's HRSPWR car x Its audio donor #wishlistwednesday #gamedev

Accidentally achieved fully sick stance in the supervan while drifting about🔰💯💯💯

Help me pick a font! Which do you prefer, 1 or 2? [yes I have an ost now, no I am not telling you yet whose music is featured :v]

Should one be concerned if they, hypotethically, let's say, took one of these in 2019?

This week I massively optimized my ai!! you can now have basically infinite racers on a track with no frame drops. ...They will not race clean yet tho😅 ...Also my audio system cannot handle it yet #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

I got stickers! Fear me, for I will become Baden-Württemberg

They told me to make my game more Turkish... #gamedev #madewithunity

I am being asked to sponsor a channel that gets 5k views max with 50$, which is supposedly to support developers. Half of being an indie nowadays is avoiding scammy 'partnerships'

light #screenshotsaturday today, here's HRSPWR's garage, featuring your cars' class, power/weight/driveline, and a quirky little description. I went for a prostreet/burnout paradise hybrid but might revamp the UI for this and the car lot entirely tbh it looks a bit amateurish maybe?

yk I hadn't considered adding that

As the "Car Crash Horror Game" person, I love Forza Horizon 6.

I'm making a point of not flying anywhere today. I worry that if my plane were hit or lost power, air traffic control would respond to the pilot's "Mayday! Mayday!" with "Sure is, buddy! Have a good one!"

Another veritable institution comes to a close. The (indie) games industry feels like its having a crisis communitywise, but somehow a golden age of profitabilty and creativity. I just hope our up and coming generation can continue in the steps of the people that got us this far.
