Ah, the memories... I didn't know I still had this one stored away at my parent's. I actually started with a demo of v2, but v3 was the 1st 3d software I ever bought

Welp, PSU just died. 14 years of usage, can't complain. Guess I'm not working today then ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I had to close my eyes for the whole duration of this scene, and I'm not epileptic. It was truly uncomfortable. No warning was given, so if this helps even just 1 person it's worth it to forward the message. Beware, stay safe! ❤️ #TheOdyssey

PS1 launch title. Still playable 30+ years later. Can't be taken away. Happy motoring, speed freaks!

So it looks like this will be my one and only game with a physical release. If you find one in stock I think you should buy it before it disappears forever, I've heard it's a nice little game!

Rolls! I'm thinking of also offering this type of "follow" camera, which looks pretty good when the car goes into a spin. It also makes reverse maneuvers (180°) more natural. We'll see. #TutTutVroomVroom

In #Carboardiy you can add custom cameras to the vehicles you create, and then tune how much they react to the vehicle movement. I've also added additional edge blurring & distortion to better comunicate the speed, hope you like it! As always, everything built with ingame tools! #gamedev #racing

I casually stumbled upon this article today... 👀 Soon! ™️ #Carboardiy

A screenshot of an article from Jalopnik website that reads: "What if, instead, somebody made a racing game where you could build and race your own cars? This isn't a new idea, but it's definitely an under-explored one. One that's never been done proper justice, even in the games that experimented with it."

Pablo Rojo @pablorojo.com · 31/10/2025

Despite the lack of updates, I'm still working on Carboardiy! Every. Single. Day. It's just that, usually, there's not much visual candy to show off yet... So to counter that, here's a stanced Maluch. Because, why not? #gamedev #racinggame

Got a new review for Cross·Krush that is obviously written by AI, and they didn't even care to fill in the blanks...

This image shows a block of text that reads: "simple and responsive, making it easy to pick up and play. The game introduces a few unique mechanics, such as [insert specofoc mechanics, e.e., power-ups, special abilities, or environmental hazards], which add a fresh layer of strategy to the classic formula. Matches are quick and intense, perfect for short gaming sessions or local multiplayer mayhem."

This is how you build a simple vehicle from scratch in #Carboardiy - (You can also use pre-made parts to speed up the process even more! This took about 10mins) I tried to mimic what you'd do in real life: cut, bend, paint! #gamedev #racing youtu.be/0yKAlR4vDWk

Hello #screenshotsaturday I'm working on #Carboardiy, an arcade racing sandbox where you can create your own vehicles, tracks and events. You can even print any vehicle to build it in real life if you feel extra creative! ✂️ 🚙 ♥️

Hi! I'm a #gamedev currently working on "Carboardiy", a racing game that unleashes your creativity: build your own cardboard vehicles, drive them on your own stages, and when you feel they're ready for production... print them out & build them in real life!

A red car made out of cardboard sits on top of a green cutting mat. A cutter, duct tape and scissors are visible in the background. Some UI buttons are placed around the edges of the screen.

A white & red open wheel car made out of cardboard is visible from behind, heading towards the famous curve "Eau Rouge" from the "Spa" track in Belgium. The track itself is built out of cardstock. A grandstand is visible in the background.

A green car made out of cardboard is shown from behind in the foreground, driving over a blue serpent road placed on top of yellow clouds. The sky is pink.

A real black & yellow car made out of cardstock sits on top of a green cutting mat on a desktop. Behind it there's a PC monitor showing the exact same car inside the videogame. An ergonomic keyboard and some figurines are also visible.

To give my car game a less prototype-like look, I'm looking for low-poly/res props: cones, tires, barriers, guardrails, signs, floor markings, arches, ramps, rotating arms, bumps, etc. Those of you into car game dev, do you have any resources or person you could recommend? #gamedev #unity #NoAI

Finished the cardboard version! The resulting model is much sturdier than the paper version (as expected) but it's more difficult to work on the small details, at least at this scale (1:24). #Carboardiy #gamedev #DIY

It's finished! I had to improvise along the way, but that's what makes it fun, right? At least the layout printed from the game gets you 95% of the way there. Next up: Build it using cardboard instead of paper 🙂

Pablo Rojo @pablorojo.com · 13/03/2025

Working again on the "print this car" functionality for my new game. #gamedev

A sheet of paper with a car layout printed on it sits on top of a green cutting mat, along with an x-acto knife. Some pieces have been cut out of the paper sheet: a seat colored in black and a door colored in black & yellow. The door has a white circle with the number 4 on it. Behind the cutting mat there's an ergonomic keyboard. Two monitors are visible in the background, one of them barely visible because it's almost completely out of the picture. On the other monitor, an image of a videogame is shown, with a yellow & black car resting on top of a green cutting mat. A PS5 box of the videogame "Concept Destruction" is partially shown behind this monitor. Some other items are also visible: headphones, mouse, and several toy figurines. Everything sits on top of a light wooden desk.

Yesterday marked my 6 year anniversary since I quit my job to go full time indie dev. It wasn't planned, but happening on Valentine's day was kind of an act of love to myself & my mental well-being at the time. A lot of struggles followed and surely more to come, bit I wouldn't change it a bit ♥️

What are we playing today? Let me check my save files...

Two Playstation 1 memory cards side by side on a black wooden background. The memory card on the left is black and has a white label which reads the following in handwriting: FF8 / GT2 / 5TH ELEMENT / NO FEAR / DAVE MIRRA / FIFA / COLIN 2. The memory card on the right is gray and its label reads the following: GT / SOUL BLADE / DRIVER / RIDGE RACER 4 / BLOODY ROAR 2 / MGS / SILENT HILL / TEKKEN 3 / PE 2 / DRIVER 2
