Jan Beneš @wrukla.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I just found recently it is possible to map the touchpads to a screen region (the board) so it should feel close to 1:1 after some tweaking. Main difference with the stick is that I need to count the center as a "dead zone" and releasing the stick is what makes you jump - different, but also works. 000
Jan Beneš @wrukla.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Actually, the core gameplay and controls have stayed mostly the same since maybe 2017, as I know how I want these to feel (skater myself). :) The interesting current "developments" have been mapping the original mobile touch control scheme to a controller stick and to Steam Deck's touchpads. 100
Jan Beneš @wrukla.bsky.social · 24/09/2026So happy to finally be able to share what I've been working on! 🙂 Having gone full-time solo, I'm now finishing a #skateboarding game I started working on all the way back in 2016!

Jan Beneš @wrukla.bsky.social · 04/09/2026We were quite careful with Easter eggs in #ProjectHospital, as the game takes itself seriously, but what if some of your patients are literal acrobats by profession (obviously this is pretty rare)? 🙃 #GameDev #IndieDev #EasterEgg 093

Jan Beneš @wrukla.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Best with sound! 🎶 Had a lot of fun one Saturday making this for HoSaF - including a bit of storytelling (Benni was a different guy then) and getting the video to loop perfectly. Even got to record a bit of music. Here's a cleaned-up version without the marketing bits at the end. #gamedev #indiedev 1143
Jan Beneš @wrukla.bsky.social · 28/07/2026A random idea: how would a dynamic kaleidoscope-like effect work in a game environment? The prototype plays with different geometries/symmetries. The physics bit might need replacing by a simpler system if I try to use this in an actual game one day. (: #indiedev #graphicsprogramming #gamegraphics 052
Jan Beneš @wrukla.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Do floppy disks look a bit like paper coasters? 🤔 When I came up with this, it was just a fun little idea, but it turned into a great bit of cheap merch that people (at events and also the team) would actually like to use. Working on something a bit old-school? Perfect fit! #IndieDev #GameDev 0123
Jan Beneš @wrukla.bsky.social · 02/07/2026There's a detailed guide on Steam if you'd like to have a look! steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... 2/2steamcommunity.comSteam Community :: Guide :: Map Editor - Events & Scripting GuideOfficial guide for the map event scripting system.

Jan Beneš @wrukla.bsky.social · 02/07/2026The "scripting" in HoSaF, possibly my very favorite feature! Heavily shaped by the requirements of the official campaigns, there's not only the usual dialog and movement tools, but variables, conditions and for example kill zones or switching to playing as a different player! #gamedev #indiedev 1/2 1103
Jan Beneš @wrukla.bsky.social · 29/06/2026You can read a bit more about these and other interesting features in the game in my developer post from 2024. :) store.steampowered.com/news/app/214... 3/3store.steampowered.comHeroes of Science and Fiction - Dev Diary: Fog, Lights and Nights - Steam NewsA detailed look at few graphical and gameplay features in Silence of the Siren. 000
Jan Beneš @wrukla.bsky.social · 29/06/2026More about the example with outlines around objects on the map: there are three cameras matching the main camera, each sees only objects in a given category (owned, interactive, enemies), then gets rendered to a full screen image with a shader drawing the outlines in different colors. 2/3 110
Jan Beneš @wrukla.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Render to texture - always a useful tool, but I'm surprised how many use cases it found in HoSaF. Animated units in the UI catalog? Sure! Outlines around objects? Of course! Fog of war? Particles in the UI? Custom lightmap system? Yes, all these! #GameDev #IndieDev #GraphicsProgramming 1/3 1203

Jan Beneš @wrukla.bsky.social · 19/06/2026An underrated highlight from HoSaF? :) In a small indie team it's always hard to choose what will get priority, so I'm very happy we found time for the UI at bases with useful shortcuts, available units shown next to their building etc. Notice the panels zooming in from "their building"! #indiedev 0123
Jan Beneš @wrukla.bsky.social · 15/06/2026As an intro for this account, a quick portfolio drop. (: Here are the games I worked on professionally that shaped me the most as a developer. I think you can see at which point we went indie! (An unusual combination: Top Spin 4, Quantum Break, Project Hospital, HoSaF). #gamedev #indiedev #portfolio 0152
