I found that adding the tag "Lovecraftian", which my game has themes of, boosts views on youtube videos as well. I think people really want to see more of that.

I tend to look at the quality and themes of the reviews, rather than just the quantity of negative reviews. As you said, often I find that people are upset over something that doesn't really bother me, or maybe got fixed along the way.

Oh right! No not at all. My journey is a bit strange. I went from J2ME dev, to academia, and now back to Godot. The only time I used Unity was for some experimental studies, but that was a few years ago.

The desert world of Toril. The tracks are wide enough to favour speed over handling. Perfect for a mercenary combat pilot and a combat ship like the berserker class. Just add plasma shield or ship repair and you're golden. #TravellingSpacer #Amiga #AtariST #Gamedev #IndieDev #Godot #16-bit #solodev

Yes! Fizzle has a pet mechanic with three variables: Attention; Hunger; Tiredness. When content she will periodically bring you some rewards she finds along the way. The most significant is CDs from old earth. Our game comes with over 30 unique soundtracks, and you can listen to them in the Jukebox.

Food going low, torch almost expended, surrounded by traps and monsters roaming about. Genuine panic in the dark. In 1987, before we had a word for “immersive gaming”, Dungeon Master opened a new genre... and then locked us inside. Real-time interactive 1st person environment.

I don't know what it says about me that the first thing I add to the new track of Planet 8 is a fishing hole. Haha. Guess we can go back to that after the race is over and catch some fish for Fizzle the cat! #TravellingSpacer #Amiga #AtariST #Gamedev #IndieDev #Godot #16-bit #solodev

Meet the BSS Discovery. Not a racer or a combat vessel, but a research vessel. With four resistance slots, pair it with an engineer class, and just glide through the lava like it's no one's business. Loadout = everything #TravellingSpacer #Amiga #AtariST #Gamedev #IndieDev #Godot #16-bit #solodev

Some basic flock and reactive behaviour for the fish makes the whole experience feel alive. Sometimes it's nice to take it slow between races. store.steampowered.com/app/4870480/... #TravellingSpacer #Amiga #AtariST #Gamedev #IndieDev #Godot #16-bit #solodev

So you put together a ship from spare parts and now it looks like a Frankenstein project? No worries at all! Sal will let you use the holographic modifier to change the appearance into any ship you own. For a price... #TravellingSpacer #Amiga #AtariST #Gamedev #IndieDev #Godot #16-bit #soloDev

Code Urchins (https://codeurchins.co.uk) @codeurchins.itch.io · 23/06/2026

That's a fair point and clearly needs a bit of tinkering. In my mind, the question is what is the probability of a fluke given a spike? I can think of some ways to make this decision a bit more intelligent, maybe with logit models and lots of auto-play? What do you think?

Code Urchins (https://codeurchins.co.uk) @codeurchins.itch.io · 22/06/2026

This might be one of my favourite ships if I'm being honest. It's one you get through progress, rather than buying it from the space port, but for combat pilots it's an absolute titan. #TravellingSpacer #Amiga #AtariST #Gamedev #IndieDev #Godot #16-bit #soloDev

Code Urchins (https://codeurchins.co.uk) @codeurchins.itch.io · 22/06/2026

I realise I'm being unnecessarily vague here due to a lack of caffeine. My approach is to cap 30fps if the avg fps count drops below 50 over 5 seconds, then sustain 30fps until the end of the level. I will also allow the 30fps cap for smoother experience through settings. Let's see.

Code Urchins (https://codeurchins.co.uk) @codeurchins.itch.io · 22/06/2026

That's a great question, and one I'll be able to answer once I get my hands on the A03 (it's in transit).
