Appropriately my PEGI etc. ratings just got modified by IARC to include a "Mild Violence" disclaimer. I'm sorry, ok!

I've been looking at the concurrent players chart on SteamDB and after first day I felt like ok, time to go job hunting. But you guys keep playing more. This is weird. Maybe I get to make yet another? Maybe. Much love to everyone who've tried it. ❤️

The game is very color-coded unfortunately! And no color blind accessibility options... The bosses have weakspots (same look on all bosses). They're these small cyan polygonal lumps on the hulls. Missiles autotarget them. I also pasted a little extra help I've written for users that have struggled.

Well, I know there's no way it's going to hold so high but for today Sektori has a 91 metascore. 🙂🥂

This is Sektori! A twin-stick shooter I've been making (and documenting the journey) since April 2021. And it finally launched TODAY on Steam, PS5 and Xbox! Here's a fresh launch trailer, all shares highly appreciated. More game info in replies.

Sektori features a pretty beefy #techno soundtrack by my awesome brother Tommi. Here's a sneak preview of all the tracks. Only 4 days until release! #indiegame

Oh yeah? Bring it, Sektori can handle it! Why not stealth drop GTA6 too while at it!

Thanks! Had to have a look at my old documents, and it seems that's pretty close to what I had written down, heh.

I used to draw more. The current project has killed all that for some reason. I still like this one a lot (2017, from Barbearian).

Story of temp assets. In 2008 I as a joke wrote 'Change your pants like you have never changed before!' to a text box, thinking someone will change it. 2025, it's still there. Maybe some day they'll change it. #gamedev

I love this weird AI generated description of my game trailer on some spam Youtube channel.

Sektori (week 205): That's a lot of diamond level music coming your way soon. I wish I could already press the release button, but it's got to wait for me to finish the game first too. 😅

Sektori (week 205): Making all kinds of store+OS assets. Many aspect ratios, many logo requirements, many art requirements, many resolutions... This is what I have so far (not to scale vs each other). Not perfectly happy with the art, but not going to redo everything.

Sektori (week 205): Trailer updated. Just swapped some footage from the old trailer. Even that took a day on this old computer. Now taking new screenshots and waiting for more localizations to arrive (2.5 languages left).

Sektori (week 204): Testing testing testing! More languages dropping in. I think Korean language is my favourite visually. It just looks so cool! I think I'll make it the only support language now, sorry. 😎

Sektori (week 204): There it is. The final "Making Of" video. Last 4+ years of my life. Game's not "done done" yet, but nothing to show left to do really.

Sektori (week 203): Originally I implemented leaderboards so you could only change pages, but Xbox requirements needed me to select per individual user (to show gamer profiles). So changed it to do that. Kludge upon kludge at this point, but it works. Ok, what's next... #screenshotsaturday #indiedev
