Presentation thread🧵 I'm a 39 years old French indie gamedev. I'm doing all sorts of things at @flying-oak.com like code, design, management, directing, business... since 2013! We are known for ScourgeBringer (s.team/a/1037020) & NeuroVoider (s.team/a/400450). We're into juicy and crunchy things.

I needed to fix a sound spatialization bug so I made myself a spatialization viewer showing all sound instances and the relative position to the camera. (Little they know that everything is spatialized in Knuckle Paradise and live mixed. Kudos to @romainrope.bsky.social ) (This is our test map.)
