I sat down with Tobey Gronow @tobey-jinc.bsky.social , the solo dev behind The Local—a high-speed, parkour-heavy FPS that throws you into a playground of momentum and mayhem. We talked about how the game came to life, and what’s next for this breakout indie hit.

Today's update introduces a reworked Slide Boost. The old boost was way too powerful and was blurring the line between skill and luck. Alongside this change, the leaderboards have been reset.
