What do you get if you don't limit the number of weapons you can collect in a kart racer? A damn good time #IndieGameDev #indiegames #unity3d

What could go wrong if we give the AI opponents some bombs? #IndieGameDev #indiegames #unity3d

Pretty happy with how these bombs turned out! Love how they roll down the sides of the slopes so that others can run into them 😈 #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegame

Starting to come together! #IndieGameDev #indiegames #unity3d #kartracer

Give a warm welcome to Elvis! Anyone remember another alien named Elvis from a video game? 😁 #IndieGameDev #indiegames #unity3d

Added a new character to the kart racing crew! Brutus! #IndieGameDev #indiegames #unity3d

Sometimes things don't turn out the way you expect... #indiegamedev #unity3d #indiegames

If you are looking for a small publisher that can really extend your reach and bring your game to the right players, check out @metaroot.bsky.social ! I will definitely approach them for my games in the future!

Hey devs, We are a small, family-run publisher based in Switzerland. We are currently looking for PC games to publish this autumn, as well as for 2027 and beyond. We'd love to see your projects! We look forward to receiving your pitches at: chat@metaroot.ch

Crazy how well GoldenEye and Perfect Dark hold up even today. Split screen multiplayer slays

Challenge: Make a game with just 2 objects. Challenge 2: make it with your own scrappy little engine that couldn't. Result: SoloPong #indieGameDev #indiegames

I built a kart racer in 10 hours 10 times over. This is what I was able to do in my 10th and final iteration. #IndieGameDev #indiegames #unity3d #rapidprototyping

Final attempt at a kart racer after 2 hours #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Iteration 9 after 10 hours. I underestimated how long it would take me to train the AI to pick up the items. Ended up not working but it pretty much cost me the rest of the iteration. Ok on to my last attempt! #IndieGameDev #indiegames #unity3d

Almost 8 hours in: Focussing on mechanics a bit more this time around. Got a basic missile system and item system working. #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

6 hours in. What if your kart just kept getting faster each time you collected a coin? #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Added a coin spawner with the help of Bezi. It created a pretty cool spawner but for some reason the coins are distorted in some areas of the track... #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Adding track marks and tire treads was a lot easier this time around. And with just 4 decals :) #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

1 hour into attempt #9 of my kart racer! #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Attempt #8 of my kart racer after 10 hours. The squirrel's looking a lot better than last time. And it took me a fraction of the time. Plus I like the way the track looks a lot more now with these subtle tire marks. #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Finally got the road texture to look decent! And this just with one single large decal and 4 smaller ones for the tire treads. Pretty happy with it! #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

7 hours in and I am currently kind of obsessed with finding a simple and performant way to add the track details. I managed to project the track details with a single decal projector but it looks awful... Guess I gotta keep trying... #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Spent the last 2 hours trying to get decent looking tire treads on my track. Something just isn't right yet... Design iterations are definitely the thing that consumes the most time in these iterations... #IndieGameDev #indiegame #unity3d

2 hours into attempt #8. Experimenting with tire tread decals this time around #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Attempt 7 after 10 hours: Really struggled with training the AI this time around. The more I do this, the more I realise how little I know... Something, something Dunning-Kruger Effect #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Decided to take a break from my kart racing experiment and went with a little something different. Not sure where this is headed just yet but it's really fun making tile-based worlds! #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Finally managed to make the character look a little better! I took the squirrel made by sketchfab.com/Jozellsylves... as a base and rigged, skinned, animated and textured it. Definitely a step up! #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Hour 3 of my kart racer: Add the trees and grass #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Just added the fences and tweaked the grass a bit #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Kart Racer attempt number 7 after 2 hours #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Iteration 6 after 10 hours: that's what I get for hastily vibe coding a green shell-like projectile 🤣 #IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames #quickAndDirty
