What makes a good videogame world? Is it the size, the places to explore? The stories? Or something else?

Here's a short clip of my game #shadowsoftuonela and the world I've created. Take a look!

Players kept reporting that they thought one click should do multiple things in my game.

For example a click should move the player to the interactable and interact when close enough.

Then I started implementing it..

SHADOWS OF TUONELA TAKES PART IN FINNISH GAMES WEEK ON STEAM!

It's crazy to see your own game in the company of so many amazing games. Go check them all out, help a Finn and fellow indie developers!

When you're a vegan but gotta get that fishing level :D

I've got a huge milestone cooking.

Today I'm opening my game to be played on Steam for the first time (1PM UTC+3).

166 players are waiting to experience Tuonela for the first time.

My poor server :D But it must be done!

Videogame performance is everything when it comes to getting people play your game.

My dedicated server was running 60% CPU idle without players, so I implemented a 'NPC Sleeper' (TM pending :D)

That alone reduced CPU usage from 60->40%

I wanted to share the new and upcoming mid-level weapons created by none other than the visionary @1lmski.bsky.social

Each weapon type will change your Shadow's strengths and weaknesses.

Other people have better imposter syndrome than me I bet
How do you deal with losing motivation and momentum in game development?

Let's talk about that in today's stream: www.twitch.tv/ameces

Tuonela is starting to feel like a place.

Ame where are the streams?

Me:
Thanks man! We're gonna knock it out of the park in the autumn!
Thanks for the lovely comment! That was the atmosphere I was going for.

Snowy winter is a very common thing here in Finland, but like you said, it's more about the stillness and quiet than it is about audio.
The best games have the best soundtracks and sound designers.

I love audio, so I wanted to learn #FMOD and spend quite some time getting the sounds right.

What do you think? #gamedev #sounddesign #shadowsoftuonela
That's a cool idea. I'll see how much work would that be!
Hahaha. You will never forget that one, will ya :D
First time user experience is everything when it comes to video games. If the player doesn't get it, the developer has failed.

One way to fix that is to do in-game video tutorials like these that I started working on.

Hi Bluesky!

I wanted to let you know that I'm looking for a Finnish or remote international job in C# / Unity for the fall of 2025. I'm open to both part-time and full-time positions!

Hit me up if you'd like to build something awesome together 🤩
