After managing the pros and cons of all the other cars, maybe you want to take a break with Rextreme, the car that's good at everything, full stop. So if you want easy mode, this is your car. You can unlock it when Obstacle Overdrive releases on October 2nd! #indiegames #drivinggames #cozygames

i've started to learn blender and i gotta say, it's resulted in some really boring anecdotes. to take one example, yesterday i intended to keyframe-shift an object to 15.5 on the z-axis, but mistakenly entered 15.5 on the y-axis instead! thankfully i realized and corrected my mistake some time later

this was the awards show equivalent to “I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding" and it dying because there weren’t enough creative people followed by an ominous speech by one of the greats should be a canary in a coal mine situation

This. In the prototyping stage, I tell my team to greybox features in test builds before we get into debates. Debating before prototyping means we can endlessly talk about hypotheticals. Some designers enjoy those conversations too much and it leads to the team shipping nothing.

If you really want to have the most fast paced, high intensity gameplay experience, there are plenty of games out there, but that isn't us, we want your experience to be a little more cozy and relaxed, still plenty of challenge, but at your own pace. #indiegames #gamedevelopment #gamedesign

Just launched Teams 101 - the most complex course among the eight. It covers everything from hiring to firing, motivation and trust, leadership and conflict resolution - it's a lot, dense, and sadly a course that many indie studios could benefit from their founders, directors, and leads taking.

Teams 101 - Levelling the Playing Field
The healthy way to lead a small team, from giving good feedback to handling the conflicts you'd rather avoid.

We really wanted to capture the feel of driving RC cars around obstacle courses in Obstacle Overdrive, so we used RC crawlers as references to get it right. You can try the demo on Steam now and don't forget to wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3412490/... #indiegames #rccars #gamedev #rccrawler

Obstacle Overdrive being a game about driving your RC crawler over obstacles meant we needed some fun obstacles with character in the game, and I think we nailed it, but what do you think? You can find these as you explore the demo as well on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3412490/... #gamedev
