Still find it absurd that the game is currently sitting at the top of 2026 releases on Metacritic. That's something that requires an extreme amount of luck, but I'll gladly take and enjoy it as long as it lasts!

For 20 years straight kids in my country have become worse and worse at reading, mathematics and natural sciences. Good times ahead.

Oh noes, I have been upstaged by @househouse.com! (I really need to play Big Walk soon, it looks so good!)

My favourite review. Maybe it was a really short nap and a snack?

All the "important" bits. This from 1996. :) (background should be black, I think, but waybackmachine seems to have lost it)

That's a good number right? Nobody has called me about the movie rights yet though, weird.

Great post. Very relatable. As someone who's loved computers since childhood, I'm just so tired of the crap tech is feeding us now. And couldn't agree more with the screeshotted part.

Just realized I passed the 5 year mark of adding that cube to the scene in Unity and I'm still dealing with this project. Careful with those cubes, they're dangerous.

Would anyone be interested in this? (iPhone, no Android) Did a quick feasibility test. Might be doable, but touch screen controls are touch screen controls...

Sektori v1.0.2 is now live on all platforms. Mostly bug fixes, but with a little cool bonus for console players. PS5 & Xbox builds now support 120hz for your super smooth framerate needs!

I try to keep up if somewhere there is talk about my game, but now and there's people saying I'm doing stealth marketing on the forums because someone is posting about it. Which is very funny to me because, PEOPLE, I'M LAZY. No way I would bother to waste time on things like that. 😄❤️

Beta version of Sektori 1.0.2 version is up on Steam beta_102 branch. Might contain bugs, as I've had to change a few major things under the hood for an upcoming port and I'm still finishing some stuff up (would love to hear if so!).

By my calculations I need to work 4248 times harder for the next game and then I might reach Valhalla too!

First screenshot of Sektori ever! Almost finished, just needs a touch of polish. (Going through my archives for a presentation.) #indiedev #gamedev

Found Sektori in EDGE #419. Didn't know it was there so was a fun surprise! That's another one off my bucket list. I'm not sure if there's anything left on that list at this point. Maybe I need new buckets.

Thank you Google AI whatever summary for highlighting that! Great info! Though that's not at all what the article is saying and not even the full sentence, but ok. 🤷

Nothing better than reading a new @apwot.bsky.social, cannot recommend it highly enough. Even the art alone is worth the price.

We're all waiting for the sun to come back in the spring here in Finland, and our studios are definitely feeling it (Saros/Control 2). 🌞

Pelit-magazine was like a bible to me in early nineties when growing up, so feels preeeetty cool to see Sektori there with a 97. 🙂

Appropriately my PEGI etc. ratings just got modified by IARC to include a "Mild Violence" disclaimer. I'm sorry, ok!

I've been looking at the concurrent players chart on SteamDB and after first day I felt like ok, time to go job hunting. But you guys keep playing more. This is weird. Maybe I get to make yet another? Maybe. Much love to everyone who've tried it. ❤️

The game is very color-coded unfortunately! And no color blind accessibility options... The bosses have weakspots (same look on all bosses). They're these small cyan polygonal lumps on the hulls. Missiles autotarget them. I also pasted a little extra help I've written for users that have struggled.

Well, I know there's no way it's going to hold so high but for today Sektori has a 91 metascore. 🙂🥂

This is Sektori! A twin-stick shooter I've been making (and documenting the journey) since April 2021. And it finally launched TODAY on Steam, PS5 and Xbox! Here's a fresh launch trailer, all shares highly appreciated. More game info in replies. #indiegame #ps5 #xbox #steam #indiedev #gamedev

Oh yeah? Bring it, Sektori can handle it! Why not stealth drop GTA6 too while at it!

I used to draw more. The current project has killed all that for some reason. I still like this one a lot (2017, from Barbearian).

Story of temp assets. In 2008 I as a joke wrote 'Change your pants like you have never changed before!' to a text box, thinking someone will change it. 2025, it's still there. Maybe some day they'll change it. #gamedev

I love this weird AI generated description of my game trailer on some spam Youtube channel.
