| Devs play Hyperdrive Inn | 2024-09-27 | Hey everybody! It's less than a month before the doors of our infinite hotel open. Here's some live material from the game to get you exctited! |
| First 30 minutes of Hyperdrive Inn | 2024-09-17 | Greetings from the debugging hellhole. The game is almost finished, but I still have my work cut out for me. Majority of bugs are now squished, and every single piece of content is in place. To celebrate the upcoming launch next month, here's the first 30 minutes of the game for you to enjoy! |
| Polishing, debugging, Next Fest & a new demo. Check out the new devlog! | 2024-06-07 | Hey! I haven't been posting new videos for a while now. I've been neck-deep in family stuff & game development, and there has been a lot of stuff going on in the past few weeks. The biggest piece of news if course the release of a new demo, which adds a ton of new content for you to enjoy! Check out the video below! |
| Our Next Fest demo is out! | 2024-06-06 | Greetings! Although Next Fest kicks into gear officially next Monday, we wanted to start the festivities early. We have just released a massively upgraded demo, which includes a whole lot of new stuff. Your feedback has been extremely valuable, and we’ve taken that to heart while revising the game. In this update, you’ll find: Triple the content! You should definitely start a new game more than once. There are loads of new content for you to consume Completely revised inventory system. You use items to hotspots by selecting them from the inventory while you’re on top of a hotspot instead of them being used automatically if you happened to car |
| We're DONE with content! | 2024-04-05 | Cheers! This week we achieved a very important milestone as all the levels of the game are now in place. This means that the game can be now completed from start to finish, which is pretty damn crazy! It's been pretty intense couple of months, so I'm very, very happy (and also relieved) that we're finally at this stage! More on the weekly devlog below. |
| Reworking the user interface at this stage is stupid! Or is it? | 2024-03-28 | Cheers! In this week's devlog I'll give you another sneak peek to the ending of the game, but I'll also talk a bit about the reworked user interface of Hyperdrive Inn. We didn't originally intend to have inventory puzzles in the game, but I'm very pleased to tell you that now we have! Check out the video for full details |
| The end is VERY near! | 2024-03-22 | Phew, the end is getting near, as we're currently working on the epic finale of Hyperdrive Inn! Check out the weekly devlog below for more details & small sneak peek on what's to come. |
| Only the ending remains! Check out the weekly devlog | 2024-03-15 | Cheers everyone! I'm super excited to announce that we have now completed all the levels of the game! Well, except the ending, but that's exactly what we're going to deal with next. This week's devlog features a very compact level, my thoughts on puzzle design & family news! Check it out below. |
| First we develop, then we polish. Check out this week's devlog | 2024-03-08 | Cheers everyone! One of my subscribers asked last week why does Hyperdrive Inn look like it's a work in progress. Well, that's because it is. We're launching the game in October, so we're still neck deep in the development work, and we're not focusing our efforts on polish before we're done with the core of the game. This is a good question and deserves an answer, so in this week's devlog we're talking about finishing touches, or rather the lack of them. |
| Trying to crack the marketing nut. Check out the new devlog | 2024-03-01 | It's winter holiday here in Finland, so I've been hanging out with the kids a bit more. The gamedev train can't be stopped, though, so we did make good progress despite having a bit more lighter week. The game is slowly starting to come together, but I still have a massive boss enemy to deal with: I need to figure out how to do effective marketing. Check out my thoughts on the new devlog below. |
| Content work is nearing to an end! | 2024-02-23 | Cheers everyone! We made good progress this week, and there is light at the end of the content tunnel. We're already preparing for the next tasks, because once the content is done, the real work starts. What do I mean by that? Check out the video below to find out! |
| In this week's devlog: the mental side of game development | 2024-02-16 | Hey everyone! I wanted to cover something different in this week's devlog. Game development is mentally straining at times. You have to wear a lot of hats, and there usually are so much things that require your attention. This is how I cope with those things. |
| It's time to talk about the music! And we have a guest! | 2024-02-09 | One of the key aspects of Hyperdrive Inn hasn't been covered in previous devlogs, but that's about to change. Meet Juhana Lehtiniemi, our extremely talented composer, who's in charge of Hyperdrive Inn's amazing soundscape. |
| Nuclear power & optimization, check out the new devlog! | 2024-02-02 | Nuclear reactor is a great setting for a puzzle-focused level, don't you think? We're currently working on the last level set before the epic ending, so we really want to put those brain cells of yours to the test. Check out the fresh devlog for more! |
| Putting out fires and burning a restaurant | 2024-01-26 | This week I've been doing some moderate debugging and there's been quite a lot of other stuff that has required my attention. After putting in some overtime I was able to complete this pretty cool restaurant themed level. Check it out from the video below! |
| In this week's devlog: a convention, costumes & content update | 2024-01-19 | This week has been very productive and certainly a lot better one than the week before. I had a lot of fun while making this concention-themed level. Check out the video, download the demo and wishlist the game if you haven't already! |
| It's not all sunshine and rainbows | 2024-01-12 | Last week wasn't one of the best, or one of the good ones either. The project suffered the first real setback, so check out the devlog & see what's going on. |

| In this week's devlog: A massive cow, retirement home & bleach | 2023-11-24 | This week went by fast, and I was neck-deep in some other stuff, so game development stalled a bit. But rest assured, the schedule is still holding, and the project itself took a major leap forward. Unfortunately I can't talk about that yet, but rest assured, good things are coming! |
| How the sausage is made? Check out the new devlog! | 2023-11-17 | There's as many ways of designing games as there are game designers. This week I'm going to give you a brief overview on my process. |
| Weekly progress update is here, check out the fresh devlog! | 2023-11-10 | It was another busy week, but I got a lot of stuff done!
