This is why I mostly don't buy new games. You do everything right as a game dev and you still get shafted. It's just sad... kotaku.com/studio-behin...

Me: Now that I'm almost done implementing multiplayer into Zoomies, I should check to see if Singleplayer is still working... The Singleplayer experience:

Hey all! A lil update for those on here who still check for Zoomies updates: Multiplayer is still coming! There are a lot of bugs and niggles to sort out before I am happy with releasing an MP demo! Apologies for the delay. MP is very complex and takes a while to implement!

Turns out implementing a localisation system as well as a UI refresh is a MASSIVE task. One that I grossly underestimated 😅 No word on the release of Zoomies 0.9.7 for now, but I'll be working on a meaty Dev Diary so I can show you all what I've been working on!

Hey all! You can probably tell from the lack of posts that I’ve not had much time for dev this month! So the next zoomies update is going to be a bit delayed. I have a week off work from today so I’ll make sure to devote some time to it :)

I was a little quiet on my previous Twitter account because I don't like social media. But since Bsky isn't filled with hate-fueled slop, I'm going to make more of an effort to post things that maybe are or aren't related to gamedev too :)

Ryan 🎮 🐱 @scarletgames.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

The next Zoomies update will focus on localization. Unfortunately most of the localization will be generated by Google Translate. But I'm hoping this will open up more opportunities for non-English speaking people to play the game :) Cat Racing should be a sport all over the globe!

Loot boxes / gacha can be good. But it all depends on the surrounding framework and mechanics. Shoving loot boxes into a game that doesn't need it is still very bad.
