We keep on moving furniture and we tell you: getting this big *** piano into the music room was... actually fun! We're trying out some designs for different rooms and wanted to show you. What vibes give these off to you? #indiedev #gamedev #gaming #leveldesign

Jesus Take The Wheel is a two-player co-op game where one of you takes charge of the steering wheel with not really seeing much, while the other handles acceleration and braking, and on top of it has to give directions. Test out challenges, like Driving School, Taxi Driver or Garbage Truck Driver.

Put you friendship to the test - twice! ✌️ One of you steers, the other accelerates. What can possible go wrong? Cooperating is not on your schedule today? Then leave your friends in the dust or overrun them with you monster truck. #gamingbundle #steam #indiedevelopers #indiedeveloper

Character model swapping is now live. The player is no longer bound to one body. Take that however you want 😁 The final goal creeps nearer… #gamedev #unity #indiedev

Walking like a crab 🦀 ain't easy. We still tried to make it look better. 😉 #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

Let there be light! 💡 Of course a horror game needs a working flashlight. #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev #horrorgame

While we are building all those gameplay mechanics, we are also playing around with level design. Here a first look at a (not yet finished) room and how it can look in the game 👀 #indiedev #gamedev #unity #leveldesign

Preview of the flashlight! We still have a few issues to fix, but we should be finished soon 🔦 #gamedev #indiedev #gaming

Finally time to touch some grass - err ceilings! No, really, with just how much our boy is obsessed with touching walls, we couldn’t deny him this. 🤞 #indiedevelopment #indiegames #indiegamedeveloper

Super Laser Freunde @superlaserfreunde.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

We showed how we manage this in one of our other videos. 😉 And of course it's still a work in progress.

Another trigger! After adding triggers when the player character turns, this time it’s the camera. Probably not something we want during a fight... 😅💀 #gamedev #indiedev #gaming

#GameOver A simple feature, but more important than you might think 😅 #gamedev #indedev #gaming

Busy days... we didn't had much time to work on the game. But that’s the reality of being an part-time #indiedev - balancing life, work, and game development is part of the journey 😅 #gamedev #gaming

Rig animations have been keeping us busy over the last few days. It's amazing what they make possible! The player now naturally touches the wall while walking past it. #gamedev #indiedev

Super Laser Freunde @superlaserfreunde.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

And what's the name? 😀 And share your link to your steam page! We all want to see it!

Super Laser Freunde @superlaserfreunde.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Thanks! We are trying to add more things like that too make it feel more natural 😀

Super Laser Freunde @superlaserfreunde.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

We’re working on new player triggers. The latest addition makes the player turn their head towards a specified transform/object, helping guide and control the player’s attention in the game world. A small feature with a big impact on immersion and interaction. #gamedev #indiedev #unity

Genre, scope, and gameplay for the next game are set - all high-level, of course, but it feels good. Now we need to come up with a name. Question for fellow #indiedevs: How do you brainstorm names for your games? What’s your process for finding THE one? #gamedev #gaming

What did we hide here? 🤔 Lootable drawers, chests, and boxes are essential in most games. How else would players find medkits or get rewarded for exploring? Another feature checked off our to-do list! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Nothing new to report today... so I’ll let my good old friend #skeletor do the talking instead. #gamedev #indiedev #HeMan

Super Laser Freunde @superlaserfreunde.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I was thinking about that... but on the other hand, it's to specific for our needs 😀

Super Laser Freunde @superlaserfreunde.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I know... documentation isn't sexy 😄📖 But when you're working as a team, it's absolutely essential!!! Created the initial docs for our behaviors. Now comes the real challenge: keeping it up to date 😅 #gamedev #indiedev #gaming

When a brand new bug appears today that definitely wasn't there yesterday... I've got a bad feeling about it 😅 #gamedev #indiedev #gaming

Fred from Scoopy Doo unmasks an ghosts and finds him self below the maks... Text says: "Let's see who caused this bug."

Finally found some time to work on transparent backgrounds for the photocube 📸 It was not easy! But I like that kind of challenges 😄 #gamedev #indiedev #gaming

Super Laser Freunde @superlaserfreunde.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

That's so true!!! 👍 But I think it's worth it! Especially if you're at the first half of the journey 😀 (and most of the time, even later!)

Worked on the Door Behaviour Prefab ✅ Improved editor usability ✅ Added events ✅ Cleanup and bugfixes Still some open topics... but we have a solid state now! #gamedev #indiedev #devlog

Who knows the originial #AloneInTheDark? Playing this classic to get some inspiration for our upcoming game! 🧟 Did you ever play it? #gaming #horrorgame #gamdedev

Hiking, beer, and programming... that's peak #GermanGameDev 😅 We spent the last two days talking about our upcoming game. Everything from technical challenges and gameplay to naming and plenty more. Had an awesome time! Can't wait to share more with you all soon 🍻😀 #gamedev #indiedev #unity

Super Laser Freunde @superlaserfreunde.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Found the issue! 😁 The activated "Alpha Clipping" settings on the materials of the @synty.bsky.social assets caused this problem 😁 So if someone runs into the same issues, set "Alpha Clipping" on the materials to false! (Not for glass) I'll let Synty know too. (I love their asset packs ❤️)

Ran into problems with Occlusion Culling. For some reason, a few walls aren't being culled as expected. Already checked the occlusion settings, experimented with baking values and now digging into Frame Debugger. Always something new to learn 😂 #Unity #GameDev #IndieDev #Gaming

Super Laser Freunde @superlaserfreunde.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Currently we are setting up occlusion culling, by baking it up front. Still some issues... And yes, changes to the level needs a "re-bake" - that is a little bit anoying 😆

Super Laser Freunde @superlaserfreunde.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Spent the weekend working on Occlusion Culling in #Unity to keep a close eye on the game's performance from the start. Learning something new is always exciting! 📖 #gamedev #indiedev #gaming
