Remember those job interviews? Too bad it wasn't meant to be this time.
It's ok, let's keep building and developing, spreading kindness, and good things will follow!

Players kept reporting that they thought one click should do multiple things in my game.
For example a click should move the player to the interactable and interact when close enough.
Then I started implementing it..

Programmers and developers are going to understand this:
Sometimes you just gotta rewrite the whole thing.
Today is that day.

I've got a huge milestone cooking.
Today I'm opening my game to be played on Steam for the first time (1PM UTC+3).
166 players are waiting to experience Tuonela for the first time.
My poor server :D But it must be done!

Shadows of Tuonela very first Steam playtest is here!
I am beyond excited to get the game into the hands of players
I will open the playtest fully open a bit later, because first I want to make sure the UX is as good as it can be.

Videogame performance is everything when it comes to getting people play your game.
My dedicated server was running 60% CPU idle without players, so I implemented a 'NPC Sleeper' (TM pending :D)
That alone reduced CPU usage from 60->40%

I wanted to share the new and upcoming mid-level weapons created by none other than the visionary @1lmski.bsky.social
Each weapon type will change your Shadow's strengths and weaknesses.

What makes a good videogame world? Is it the size, the places to explore? The stories? Or something else?
Here's a short clip of my game #shadowsoftuonela and the world I've created. Take a look!

The best games have the best soundtracks and sound designers.
I love audio, so I wanted to learn #FMOD and spend quite some time getting the sounds right.
What do you think? #gamedev #sounddesign #shadowsoftuonela
First time user experience is everything when it comes to video games. If the player doesn't get it, the developer has failed.
One way to fix that is to do in-game video tutorials like these that I started working on.

I'm back baby!
We've got a beautiful package of new environmental assets to put into the game.
I've also been working on the very first special attack to the game.

I'm back baby-dolls!
I spent the last week crunching Unity's Cloud Admin API and can now proudly say that #shadowsoftuonela has a fully functioning server authoritative cloud save system.

Today I experimented with adding VFX into the melee animation.
What do you think?
#osrs #shadowsoftuonela #vfx #gamedev
Modern way of game development is to be accountable and transparent with the people.
One of the best ways to do that is to combine content creation with #gamedev.
If that's too much for you, it's alright, you can still utilize tools like Discord to hear your players. #shadowsoftuonela
