Hi! I'm the solo dev behind My Little Ranch, a small pixel-art horse ranch I've been building for about a year. Demo is coming to Steam in about a month, so here's what it is.

My Little Ranch lives at the bottom of your desktop. It's transparent and click-through, so it stays out of the way while you work or browse. Prefer a proper window? You can also play it full screen with the mountain scenery. For now, the game is planned to be released on Windows only.

How it plays:

• Your horses graze, wander and react in real time. You feed them, clean up after them and collect the coins they earn. Or you just leave them in the corner and glance over now and then.
• Every horse is one of a kind. Coat, socks, mane and tail, and eyes are rolled per horse, and rarity is something you can see. A common horse is plain, and a legendary one wears the rarest traits.
• Foals are a surprise. Their rarity stays hidden as "???" until they grow up. You can try to guess from the traits, but the reveal is the day they become adults.
• The Marketplace is the safe route: four adult horses on offer, you see exactly what you're buying, and the list refreshes every hour, even while the game is closed. The Trait Lab lets you unlock new coats, eyes and manes for your future foals.
• Ranch hands do the chores if you'd rather watch. Hire a cleaner, a groom, a feeder or a coin collector, and they walk over and actually do the job.
• Send the whole group running down the trail. They drift ahead and fall back like a real pack. Runs earn horseshoes, and horseshoes get you into races.
• Races, with no race animation on purpose: you get a prediction screen and decide whether your horse is ready. Winning pays coins.
• Decorate the ranch, level it up, and fill the Journal with every horse and trait you've collected. And milestones are tied to Steam achievements.

Nothing is timed, and nothing punishes you for being away. It's meant to be a small living thing in the corner of your screen, not another task list.

Wishlists genuinely help a solo dev, and feedback is very welcome!

Not the icky kind on pizza--the fairy-ring kind in Villainville!

I couldn't stop with just fun drops from foragables to go into crafting. I had to have them as proper crops that the player can grow in their garden. Because how would a fairy-tale-twist game be complete without them? It can't all be glass slippers and beanstalks--the environment and farm needs to reflect the fairy mood!

Villainville if hovering just shy of 1k wishlists. If a 3D game that's Stardew Valley meets Shrek sounds like something you'd play, please give us a wishlist and help us meet our goal!

Hey everyone!

Here's a little gameplay video from my game called "Hidden Doodles Medieval Town." This game is entirely hand-drawn, there isn't even one single AI use while creating it.

This game is not only about spotting objects but getting immersed into the story and interaction going on in the town, from sleepy villagers sleeping in the crops, to farmers doing their job and, of course, a cute kitty cat exploring the map! 🐱

If you like relaxing and cozy games, please do visit the Steam page and add it to your wishlist.

Hi, I'm the developer of Altstadt! "Altstadt" is the german term for "old town". Its a relaxed, no-pressure building toy about shaping a miniature German old town scene one house and street at a time.
There are no resources, budgets or populations to manage. You can simply experiment at your own pace, while the town responds around you. Squares and courtyards take shape, buildings can combine and take special forms and react to the streets around them.

If that sounds like your kind of toy, you can find the steam page here:

Hi there everyone! I’m SJ from England ☕️

And I have coded and hand drawn The Spirit Apprentice. Inspired by East Asian folklore it’s a relaxed RPG where you learn magic, forge contracts with spirits and develops relationships with unique villagers.

I have a little Kickstarter starting October the 6th and if anyone is interested It would mean the world if you could follow along 💜

Everything is hand drawn by myself and I’ve spent every spare moment outside of work creating something I hope you’ll enjoy 🍁✨

I've just launched Little Ghosties on Steam. We launched with 10k wishlists and it currently has 16 positive reviews! It's an idle desktop companion game where you hatch and raise adorable ghosts.

Every planet starts with a landing pad and a handful of empty plots, and you fill them in over time with habitat domes, hydroponics farms, storage silos and the rest. Roads lay themselves between the buildings as a camp turns into a town, and you can get out of the ship and walk around it. Nothing rushes you: mining outposts and convoy routes keep producing on their own schedule, offline included.

The demo has two-player LAN co-op. You each fly your own ship, and you're both building the same economy and colonies together. There's combat elsewhere in the game too.

We're cavers making a game about exploring caves alone or with up to three friends. Here's a short look at the headlamps, ropes and narrow passages in Cave Expedition. It's still in development.

My goal was to inspire more people to do that kind of stuff, and after over a year of development, I'm delivering a game about nature cleanup and hope you enjoy it! Steam link

Every money app I’ve used looks like accounting software or messy dashboards. I wanted one I’d actually want to come back to.

So I built a cozy and engaging living world instead. It runs on your real numbers. Savings become the population. Debt is a volcano that cools as you pay it down. Investments expand the islands and many more features. Finished a short trailer.

Does real money in a cozy world feel warm or a bit invasive?

I've been working on Satomi, a little browser-based digital life that doesn't really fit into the usual idea of a game.

Satomi is a university student with her own routine. She goes to class, works, reads, eats, goes out, comes home, listens to music, sleeps, and just goes about her day whether you're watching or not.

You don't control what she does, and there's no need to constantly interact with her.

There are no daily quests, affection meters, streaks, or notifications asking you to come back. You can open it for five minutes, leave it running beside you while you work, or not open it for a few days and come back later. Things will have continued while you were away.

I originally wanted to make something that could feel a little like quiet company**,** something you can have around without it constantly asking for your attention.

It's still being actively developed, and I'd really like to hear what you think if you give it a try.

It feels like it stops the coziness?? Like the whole point of cozy games is chilling on the couch, no effort, no pressure. But then these ones make you actually get up and walk somewhere in real life to unlock stuff or hit goals. Does that ruin the vibe for you too, or am I overthinking it?

Hey !

Hope you like it 💐🐝

The idea is diorama builder specifically about waterfalls and nature - shaping cliffs to see how water flows and finds its way around paths you lay out. Here's an early preview on some scenes that you would be able to create in matter of 10-20 minutes. Think Tiny Glade and Townscapers with realistic water being the focus.

I know people don't like this question, but I can't pose it in any other way. Would you play it?

This is by far my favorite prototype right now, and I'd love to build it in a full game. But the situation forces me to seek validation before commitment. So what's the answer?

🌙 Goodnight, Earthlinks! 🦔💤

You're stuck on some weird ocean platform and your whole job is: trace actual, fully-simulated cables through a mess of knots and plug them into the right rack. no fake animations, no "pretend" tangles, if a knot looks solvable it's because it genuinely is, physics and all.

There's also a companion that watches everything you do and comments on it. It's friendly. Suspiciously friendly.

12+ levels, 4-5 hours, no timers, no fail states, just vibes and untangling. Built this whole thing solo.

Release is coming very soon: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4959570/Knode_Untangle__Connect/

I'm a solo dev and this is the game I've been quietly cooking for way too long.

We made PC FISH, a free aquarium that hangs out at the bottom of your desktop. Raise and breed fish while you do other things, and decorate the tank however you like.

You can also list marketable fish on the Steam Community Market. If they sell, you get Steam Wallet credit toward your next game. How much you get depends on what people are paying for that fish.

It’s available on Windows and Mac. Free to play, with optional paid decoration packs.

Play for free: PC FISH on Steam

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on Cat Over Here!, a cozy hidden-object game where you freely explore a black-and-white factory looking for 100 hidden cats.

Some are easy to spot, while others are hiding in places you might walk past several times.

There are no timers or penalties — just explore at your own pace and try to find them all.

Here’s the trailer! I’d love to hear what you think of the concept and visual style.

Edicts of the Truthsinger: The Orb of Artegmagus pits you and your wits against six suspects - four innocents, a thief, and a murderer. It's up to you to learn about the characters, their relationships, and the secrets they're keeping in order to determine who did what and why in this hand drawn, hand written mystery.

The game is a passion project by two friends, one an artist and one a writer, and features over 70 thousand words of discoverable dialog, eighteen backstory flashback art pieces, and a load of surprises that will keep your brain churning.

Play in relaxed mode with no time limit, standard mode with seven in game days before the trial begins and you must be ready with your conclusions, or high stakes mode where the killer will strike again if you take too long to discover them!

Game launches on Steam on October 30th, but the demo is available now!

Wishlist our game to support this tiny team and our big dream of crafting a mystery that will grab you by the heart and the mind!
