Surprise, its an RPG! Spent most of my weekend getting the AI cars in the world to drive around and be interactable. There's still some bugs and polish is needed, but I think this is turning out cool. #openworld #automodellista #indiegame #racinggame (Art is placeholder..)

Everyone has a few mid games that don't hold up, but you still love them endlessly. Here are my #unpopularopinions - I love Driver. 2 and 3 are rough but blew my mind. Also, Road Rage is better than Hit and Run (we can fight🔥). I still come back to all of these to this day.

My fav thing about starting game development has actually been learning about so many sick indie games that I never would have found without becoming part of the community. There's so many A M A Z I N G games being made that sites like IGN will never post about.

Dang, thirty years. NFS was a big part of my teenage years, and some of the core games are my favourites to this day. I’m delighted that something so influential came from my region of the world too. I used to work at a pizza place and occasionally made EA’s lunch orders in

So, a couple of little updates: Against my better judgement, I've decided to restore affine texture mapping 🥲 This means I've had to create a number of scripts to automatically break large quads into smaller ones. Additionally, there's also some more lighting detail now. :)
