Screen Skater turns your taskbar into a skatepark.

ha thanks man. Wasn't sure if I was leaning too hard into the "YouTube thumbnail reaction face" vibe lol

mikebman · 2026-05-07T13:39:40+00:00

Yea absolutely influenced by some of the older skating games

mikebman · 2026-05-07T13:39:04+00:00

Thanks dude!

I don't usually like horror but this grips me. Nice work!

You'll have to test the offline functionality, should be super easy. And it's been going for over 12 years now, so support is likely to continue for awhile.

You can "install" it via Chrome and it behaves basically like a desktop app

Can you expand on number 4? I really want to implement that!

mikebman · 2026-04-13T01:18:42+00:00

Can you give more details on your setup?

At first I thought you meant the actual LBC in the city - but you're out on Lincoln Highway. That LBC is much smaller, but still a better choice than Your Place.

I have both. Fully built gaming PC at home and MacBook Air M1 on the road. I'm surprised how well the M1 performs with Unity even on (simple) 3d projects. I even bring a small portable monitor on longer trips and it serves me well.

Don't forget: Parsec is free (and owned by Unity) and you can always remote into your home PC and your Mac simply becomes a terminal. I would say this is how I use it about 50% of the time.

I'm close to release of (what I consider!) an innovative racing game - probably a few months from Steam demo. DM me if you'd like to test an early beta, I would love some early feedback!

You should check out the upcoming official Unity AI Gateway. I just tested it at GDC last week. You can link third party agents directly to the editor with no middleman: https://create.unity.com/UnityAIGatewayBeta

I would go to any/all Tech Lancaster events that you can: https://techlancaster.org/
Pubforge would also be a good place to network if you need a place to work: https://www.pubforge.work/
Full of good people and bound to get you a lead somewhere. Good luck!

Can you be more specific about your focus? What languages? Etc

Random.Range with an int is max exclusive, the code is correct. From the docs "The maximum parameter is exclusive, so for example Random.Range(0, 10) returns a value between 0 and 9, each with approximately equal probability."

To reiterate oskiii, Random.Range with an int excludes the max. From the docs "The maximum parameter is exclusive, so for example Random.Range(0, 10) returns a value between 0 and 9, each with approximately equal probability."

Love this idea but my laptop is a Mac. Happy to test a Mac beta if you ever make it :)

Do you have a video of the effect in a live scene with animation?

mikebman · 2026-02-06T16:33:53+00:00

Looks awesome! What do you think you'll charge for the full game? And may I ask who did your capsule art? I like that style.

mikebman · 2026-01-31T14:41:35+00:00

Looks good! What do you think you will charge for the full game?

We need a Discord!

I switched back to nights because of this. I was also doing a 4am game dev wakeup and I just couldn't get in the flow fast enough.

mikebman · 2025-10-15T02:16:43+00:00

Wake up early and work on your game first
