Obstacle Overdrive is a driving game, but it's a bit different from they kind of driving game you're probably thinking about, so why not give the demo a try on Steam and wishlist if you enjoy it: store.steampowered.com/app/3412490/... #indiegames #gamedevelopment #drivinggame #steamgames
ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.

Despite being branded as autonomous and self-sustaining, artificial intelligence relies heavily on human labor — an army of data workers all over the world, primarily in the Global South. These workers “are purposely hidden by the companies that produce AI,” says sociologist Antonio Casilli.

I understand why and it makes sense, but man the Pro Bowl games were so much fun. Feels like childhood ending

Maybe I should've posted this first after just posting beating the game with Baja Buggy, but meet Baja Buggy! The starter car for Obstacle Overdrive may not have the most exceptional performance, but we still love it all the same. store.steampowered.com/app/3412490/... #indiegames #steamgames
one of the reasons ive spent the last 15 years showcasing game artists (concept esp) is that their work is SO important to our love and understanding of our favourite games, and the people responsible are criminally under-appreciated for the work they do. aftermath.site/tag/showcase/

there's a lot of dunking on kids and "kids today" in the comments, and can I just cordially request that as millennials we, uh, don't fucking do that? it's the worst trait of gen x and boomers. we could just NOT do that. this isn't a story of "kids today" its adults Big Brothering society.

I love showing early concept and test footage of Obstacle Overdrive, it's so cool to me to see how far it's come as we get closer to release. If you like cute cars and cozy vibes, you can try the demo on steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3412490/... #indiegames #gamedesign #gamedev

You don’t have to like this guy‘s politics to recognize that everyone who has insisted for decades that The Issues are almost all too complicated and too nuanced to explain to voters let alone address was lying to you.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3w agoIf it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
We all know X is the most important button in the game. Hear the honk for yourself in the demo: store.steampowered.com/app/3412490/... #indiegames #gamedev
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
Writing this blog, I was reminded of a flag football team I coached in 2022. It was a boys team but we had one girl - the only girl in the whole league. She was fast and smart and better than at least half the boys. No one ever raised a fuss. I think we know why. substack.com/app-link/pos...

We're all about the cozy aesthetic in Obstacle Overdrive, but don't think that just because it's a cozy game doesn't mean there aren't some challenges waiting for you! Add it to your Steam wishlist to be ready for release: store.steampowered.com/app/3412490/... #indiegames #gamedev #cozygames
Art direction is so important for a game, and we wanted Obstacle Overdrive to be fun and nostalgic, so rather than realistic, you can see we went for something more colorful and expressive, and you can explore it for yourself in our demo on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4397900/... #indiegames
