Started on the penultimate story mission for #HighwayNoir today. As proud as I am of the idea it's taking a lot of scripting to put the spin I want on the mechanics. Apparently I love making work for myself. I wish I could say more without spoiling the surprise

The are still a few days to get in on this, #IndieDev peeps! I just submitted #HighwayNoir :)
I've extended the deadline to December 3, since I'll be out of town anyway. Might take some late submissions past that, but the closer they are to the event, the less likely I'll be able do get them in!
Attention Indie Devs!

I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.

The anti-spam key is "kook".

The snipers miiiiight not have been a complete, fully working feature at the time of this screenshot. I mocked up the first steps for the #HighwayNoir trailer.

Now, however, they are well and truly functional. Choose your lane wisely!

Is there a road sign that means ' danger: snipers ahead'? My driving instructor never taught me that one and now I'm in a right mess

Does anyone else refer to 'adult tomatoes' to differentiate them from baby tomatoes? It can't just be me

Why am I so tired?

Doing a git commit, git push while devving a game sometimes gives me the same feeling as doing a quick save while playing one

Since Predator: Badlands made the predators more relatable (e.g. they feel fear and anger as we would understand it) I say lean into it

I'm picturing a sitcom about all the Yautja who just aren't interested in hunting. The ones who write the firmware for the wrist computers or other humdrum jobs

I'm still alive, mental health did a bit of a thing for a few days there

But I can tell you that I've been doing some set piece scripting for #HighwayNoir and that Predator: Badlands is something of a depature from your previous Predator films but a very entertaining one

Shout out and public internet high five for... @matthijs-den-daas.bsky.social!

Matthijs is a great composer in his TiceTunes guise (ticetunes.com) and is now featured in my project's score. If you also need music for a project, he's a real pleasure and comes highly recommended!

I've come to a conclusion recently about giving glowing feedback to project collaborators

Some think you have to give notes to prove you're paying attention (see The Queen's Duck). But if I truly have none I highlight some aspects I especially like. It shows sincerity

I think it's been working...

You speed along a city highway at night and unravel a conspiracy, all with an original soundtrack in your ears and a neo-noir aesthetic on your screen

What would be the appropriate category to report a scam in my DMs (apparently my account is suspended and will be deleted in 24 hours if I don't follow the link)?

It feels worse than 'Spam' but not as bad as 'Illegal and urgent'

Your occasional reminder that everything in Highway Noir (and anything else I've made) is free of genAI
We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.
