I must have downloaded the wrong version of DLSS because it made my game janky, pixelated, and somehow fun like the games used to be in the 2000s.

Modders had to delete all the missions, maps, and audio just to get GTA 5 down to 2.5GB. Meanwhile, my indie 1970s Istanbul open-world game is currently sitting at just 700MB. #UE5 #solodev #PSX #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

i couldn't figure out how to code a proper exit animation when both of the vehicle doors are blocked. so now you break the window to get ejected through the windshield. this is ALATURKA, i'm developing it solo for over a year. what do you think about it?

I am developing an old-school GTA-style game set in 1970s Istanbul entirely solo. I have been documenting the entire process on my livestreams for over a year now. So yes, I guess Code Monkey is right.

testing if this platform completely buries indie devs without a blue checkmark. here is 153 seconds of unedited, raw gameplay from my solo project ALATURKA. heavy driving physics, maximum jank, trying to survive 70s Bosforus. if you see this, the test worked.

players threaten me because my game contains violence towards video game police. and to be honest, i don't care. i'm developing ALATURKA solo entirely on livestreams over a year. i have no team or budget. all i want to do is create a game sets 70s Istanbul-inspired city.

I'm developing an old-school 70s Istanbul open-world game, and I accidentally found the perfect police-chase soundtrack while blasting some Anatolian rock during a playtest.

I love being an indie dev and creating a game that I actually want to play. Finally, I can listen 70s Anatolian Rock while "peacefully" driving streets of Istanbul. The mechanics aren't perfect yet, but the atmosphere is exactly where I want it to be.

i love how broken the police are in ALATURKA. they will happily launch their cars over ramps and completely destroy each other just to put me in jail. having so much nostalgic fun testing this game.

I love how broken and fun the physics in my game are right now. I try to build a realistic 70s Istanbul, then accidentally create pure chaos like this. Sometimes bugs are just too good to fix. #screenshotsaturday #solodev #PSX #indiegame #grandtheftistanbul

ALATURKA is set in 70s Istanbul, so I'm listening to Anatolian Psychedelic Rock to capture the vibe. Today, Selda Bağcan inspired me to take a break from coding and experiment with a psychedelic shader. I fucking love being an indie dev. #UE5 #solodev #PSX #indiegame #gamedev

spending the last year building an oldschool open-world game from scratch, only to wake up and see my country trying to ban games for violence. i guess ALATURKA will get that authentic 2000s media panic experience in Türkiye just like when POSTAL 2 launched. #OYUNUMADOKUNMA

I know the audience for an old-school 70s Istanbul open-world game is niche. but if you know someone who would love delivering kebabs at night while blasting psychedelic anatolian rock on the radio, send this their way.

I love being a solo indie dev. playtesters asked to be able to buy weapons, but an ammu-nation doesn't really make sense in 1970s istanbul. so i had to improvise. buying weapons out of the trunk of a car definitely fits the vibe much better.
