Sounds when driving through rocks and grass

#gamedev #indiedev

Working on MSAA and SSAA anti-aliasing for the next version of beaterCore!

#gamedev #indiedev

Terrain LODs!
Long overdue, they have improved performance on intel integrated graphics from literally unplayable to buttery smooth

Paired with render scaling I've implemented just a couple of days ago, beaterCore will soon run on pretty much any old calculator!

#gamedev #indiedev

beaterCore Demo 0.1.1 just released!

Landscape now features lots of small rocks, trunk can be cycled through, auto parts store now features ambient sounds, and finally the tutorial has been reworked based on player's feedback

Worked the whole week to get this nice event selection screen ready

Smooth animations and plenty of information about upcoming events, it's so much better than the old one

I've implemented dead zone and linearity settings for analog controls. I expected it to be a 15 minute job, took 2 whole days. It's a little rough at the moment, but the feature is released in the latest patch. Go try it out!

#gamedev #indiedev

Not really as cool as proper ray-traced audio but obstacles and terrain now modify the sound volume. You can hear how engines get louder as cars get in sight

Coming soon into beaterCore!

I hoped for slightly more but 400 isn't a horrible number with limited marketing resources I got. Just gotta hope some youtuber will make my game popular I guess xD

Some demo release analytics

I got ~400 wishlist additions

~100 came from a reddit post. But I can't recommend that since I got shadow banned after attempting to post there again.

~200 came from announcements in various discord channels
The rest seem to be organic

#gamedev #indiedev

New game mechanics coming to #beaterCore
Resting will allow to skip a day if you can't find car/item you want. Current day of the week is now displayed in the hub UI to help with tracking time.
Hub UI has been modified to better highlight selected locations on controller

#gamedev #indiedev

Spent a looot of time on these store assets
but I think it was worth it

I just got shadowbanned on reddit for making a second post promoting my game. I was pretty sure I was following all of the guidelines
Reddit is god awful lol, doesn't even tell you that you got banned, or the reason

Hey everyone. The Allumeria Steam page is currently down because Microsoft has filed a false DMCA claim on it. They sent an email earlier today claiming that this screenshot infringes on their copyright. I am taking a moment to figure out what my path is going forward, will update soon. #gamedev

I hope this launch goes well for me xD

I think I got cold for AeroGPX after playing the demo aswell. 100% a game I would buy if I didn't try it first, but after playing the demo I've learned I'm definitely not the target audience
