Hello! 👋 We've been gone for a while. There are good reasons as to why, life being the primary focus, but that also means not a lot of work has been put into development of Just Keep Running. That changes now... Stay tuned to this space 🤫❤️

FYI: The @imiself.se Discord is for the community, where we can hang out and have fun. It is NOT for doing business with me. DO NOT join the Discord just to DM me out of the blue about business stuff. It's weird, unprofessional, and uncomfortable. We have an email for that: hello@imiself.se

Throwback to earlier in the year when OUR GAME WAS ON THE STEAM NEXT FEST LIVE STREAM! 🤩🤩🤩 I was in a call with my friends watching the stream, and we all collectively yelled with joy when it appeared :D

University life has kept us busy, but we are cooking some stuff! Q1 Next year, expect some... juicy announcements. Less radio silence, that's for sure 🤭

Our Discord has a Challenge channel for our game Just Keep Running! Here's Vic trying to escape from the Level 1-1 Kitchen :D #gaming #indiegame #gamedev

For Thursday, a simple yet important tip. Tweaking is key 🔑 Here's Victor to explain how Tweaking lead to the player controller we have in our game Just Keep Running! :D #gaming #indiegame #gamedev

Initially, jumping down the catwalk in Level 1-3 wasn't meant to be possible, but shoutouts to the ✨speedrunners and playtesters✨ for finding a way. It's an easter egg now, cause why get rid of it and ruin the fun? :P #gaming #indiegame #gamedev

Always love polishing up features and adding small, but useful stuff ☺️ For example, when we polished Time Trials so that the UI shows the cause of death, and also audibly/visually warns you when time is running low :D #gamedev #indiegame #gaming

Our game is all about speed, smarts, and parkour. ...I might've practiced a lil bit! :P Please check out the Chapter 1 & 2 Demo for Just Keep Running here! ➤➤ bit.ly/jkrSteam #gaming #indiegame #gamedev

Giving options can be a great thing! :D In Just Keep Running, the walljump count shows up as a fullscreen effect, but this can be intrusive to some. Instead of being fullscreen, you can also have a smaller, less intrusive modal that appears at the top of the screen! 😁 #gamedev #indiegame #gaming

Wow... from a small project to pass the time in class in late 2022, to something much bigger in just 2 years is WILD 🤯 #indiegame #gamedev #gaming

Here's how the Dynamic Music System in our game Just Keep Running works! 🎵🔊 We used FMOD to create a simple and effective "Intensity State" system that transitions the music based on in-game events. More details below! 🧵 #indiegame #gamedev #gameaudio

When the player isn't in a stage, the music state is Calm. When the player IS in a stage, the music state is Alert. When the player IS in a stage and either is being attacked by an enemy or a Time Trial is running, the music state is Action.

When the music state has been changed, it will transition the mood of the music on the next appropriate beat. You can see below how it looks in FMOD Studio! The state can also go back to calmer moods if the momentum of a certain state has died down.

📢 ALT TEXT PSA Game Devs. Quick nudge to say that adding alt-text to images and videos is very much the norm on Bluesky. Outside of the obvious accessibility/inclusion win, some folks have their feeds set up so your posts won't even show up on their feed unless it has alt-text Spread the word 👍🏻

We're still working on Project T-1000, an Action/Stealth game with a unique resource-management twist! You're made of metal. Use it to craft weapons, blend into the world, and tear down a link of sketchy corporate monopolies. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev *Gameplay Playtest. Subject to change.
