I just had two job interviews for a #unity programmer position. How did it go and what were they like? Let's talk about them on twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev #jobinterview #jobhunt

Where have I been? I tell you where I've been. I've been fighting for my game and livelihood. I'll tell you all about it on live starting now: twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev

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.. #shadowsoftuonela #bug #solution #gamedev #programming

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! Join us on twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev #shadowsoftuonela

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. #shadowsoftuonela #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/3540820/...

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% #shadowsoftuonela #borderlands4 #gamedev

How do you deal with losing motivation and momentum in game development? Let's talk about that in today's stream: www.twitch.tv/ameces #gamedev

ameces.bsky.social @ameces.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

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! #gamedev #DontStarve #kalevala

Thanks man! We're gonna knock it out of the park in the autumn!

Thanks for the lovely comment! That was the atmosphere I was going for. Snowy winter is a very common thing here in Finland, but like you said, it's more about the stillness and quiet than it is about audio.

ameces.bsky.social @ameces.bsky.social · 28/07/2025

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. #unity #tutorial #ftue #churn #gamedev #shadowsoftuonela

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

Good morning from Tuonela! I'm coming to you with a new and awesome animation snippet from the one and only @1lmski.bsky.social This is the main character of #shadowsoftuonela doing some mining. All we gotta do is add some sound, particle effects and we're good to go! #gamedev
