THIS JUST IN (at midnight Finnish time) My game got approved on Steam. This feels unreal. My game is on Steam! Please wishlist🥹 https://t.co/Z6nHvqN9uG #shadowsoftuonela

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.. #shadowsoftuonela #bug #solution #gamedev #programming

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! #gamedev #shadowsoftuonela #finnish #finnishgamesweek https://t.co/9EyA8TM81K

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

Programmers and developers are going to understand this: Sometimes you just gotta rewrite the whole thing. Today is that day. https://t.co/vhXiKnODnK #gamedev #programming #shadowsoftuonela

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! Join us on https://t.co/pnW14Ac2k9 #gamedev

Shadows of Tuonela very first Steam playtest is here! I am beyond excited to get the game into the hands of players. I will open the playtest fully open a bit later, because first I want to make sure the UX is as good as it can be. #shadowsoftuonela https://t.co/fwZ73dd6Zd

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% #shadowsoftuonela #borderlands4 #gamedev

Back from exile! Let's implement new weapons, courtesy of @samuli_kinnunen Can't wait to see these in action. #gamedev #digitalart #shadowsoftuonela https://t.co/pnW14Ac2k9

Steam achievements work! Next up: Let's look into Lobby & Matchmaking feature in Steam. https://t.co/pnW14AbuuB #gamedev #shadowsoftuonela

Let's implement Steam features into the game using Facepunch Steamworks: - achievements & stats - lobby & matchmaking https://t.co/pnW14AbuuB #gamedev #steam #shadowsoftuonela

High octane #gamedev content starting at https://t.co/pnW14AbuuB Time to polish #shadowsoftuonela

I wanted to share the new and upcoming mid-level weapons created by none other than the visionary @samuli_kinnunen Each weapon type will change your Shadow's strengths and weaknesses. #shadowsoftuonela

A stream is like a casual party at your place. By raiding, you are basically taking your party to a friend's house. How raids can 100% work: -if you had an amazing party, people will wanna continue -and if the 2nd party meets or tops the vibe of the original party

How do you deal with losing motivation and momentum in game development? Let's talk about that in today's stream: https://t.co/Ko8XGYxMjo #gamedev

Tuonela is starting to feel like a place. #shadowsoftuonela #gamedev

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! #gamedev #DontStarve #kalevala

Ame why no streams? Me:

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

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. #unity #tutorial #ftue #churn #gamedev #shadowsoftuonela

I'm back baby! We've got a beautiful package of new environmental assets to put into the game. I've also been working on the very first special attack to the game. Let's get it done. https://t.co/Ko8XGYxMjo #gamedev #shadowsoftuonela
