About

Hi ! I’m Mathias.

I’m a kid of the 80’s, and I’m in love with video game creation since then.

I like to code, paint, create 3D stuff and play music. Here you’ll find stuff about my games and how I make them: news, demos, tutos… I hope you’ll like it!

Slide Demos on Itch.io

Hello everyone!

As said in the title, you can now have access to 🐢 Slide 🐬demos for Linux and Windows on Itch.io. And they are absolutely free!

I – Demo!

The demo features:

  • A track in the clouds with nearby auroras
  • A cute turtle to ride
  • Up to 4 local players in splitscreen

II – Updates

Since last time, a few things have changed:

  • Keyboard controls are more friendly (arrows for player 1, WASD|ZQSD for player 2)
  • Fixed UI sound level not affected by settings
  • Packaged Linux build
  • Auto deployment on itch.io with a simple click (super useful for updates).

III – Communication

Regarding the game, it’s not that much. However, I’ve spent a loooooot of time preparing the communication around the game:

  • Creation of Itch.io & Steam page
  • Creation of a trailer
  • Creation of a presskit
  • Creation of all promotional material & artwork
  • Contacting press & streamers
  • Creation of custom tools to handle mailing & contacts

And wow! That was really more complicated & time consuming than I imagined.

And that’s all! I hope you’ll like the demos. Don’t hesitate to give me feedback, that will help me to improve the game. And, as always, you can

That’s probably what would help the most.

Peace, and take care!
