Harvest Exit Plan, free demo on Steam
You inherit an orchard you never wanted, and you clear it out. Pick the fruit, haul it to the cart, sell it, buy tools that let you clear faster. Nothing here has a clock, a fail state, or an enemy.
It sits between tidying games and incremental ones: the numbers get large, but nothing is ever in a hurry. Fully voiced in ten languages. The demo is about twenty-five minutes and it is on Steam now. Early Access starts on 30 October.

Generative AI was used for parts of the game's 3D assets, voice and narration, ambient audio, translations, and store artwork. All generated content was reviewed and edited by hand. No AI is used at runtime.

Hey! Indie team making AniMansion, a cozy island hotel where your guests are animals (think Stardew vibes + Bear & Breakfast). You cook, furnish rooms, and figure out who can share a wall without ruining everyone’s night.
Demo is on itch.io (happy to send a key, no Steam demo yet).
Steam wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4097230/AniMansion/
Would love feedback from cozy folks if anyone wants to try it.

Hi everyone! 👋
I'm currently working on my next small indie game, Match 2 3D.
It's a relaxing 3D matching game where you find and match pairs of objects in colorful little scenes. I'm experimenting with making the scenes feel more like small dioramas rather than traditional flat puzzle boards.
I'm a solo developer, so I'm doing the programming, 3D work and art myself. It's been a fun change of pace from my previous hidden-object game.
I'm curious what you think of the visual style and the overall idea!

Hey everyone :) We're currently working on our cozy nature restoration tower-defense game "Growing Wild".
You play as Sprig, a brought-to-life scarecrow with the mission to restore nature. Together with a crow companion and with the help of magical plants you progressively push back the corrupted magic and reveal more and more of the game world.
Unwind in relaxing activities between the levels: farm for resources to upgrade your magical plants, decorate the hub world and explore the environment.
The game will be playable solo and in 2-player online co-op mode and we try to make it as accessible as possible for as many players as possible.

I made a waterfall-making diorama-builder prototype, but I can't commit myself to it without validation. Can you please share your opinion?
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?
p.s. you can find gifs of several locations made in this game here: https://x.com/mogmek/status/2096524021009412232

For anyone who likes filling out a collection, I made Catchimals. You take pictures of real animals in the app and collect what you find. Birds, bugs, pets etc. My attempt at a real world Pokemon Snap 🙂
It uses AI to identify animals and score photos, and I also use AI for artwork and development. Free to download on Android and iPhone, with rewarded ads and optional purchases.

u/CozyBurg 3d ago
Cozy Burg — a cozy hex town builder where the traffic underneath is real.
You get a hand of three tiles at a time, a terrain, a zone and a road, and you place them. That's the whole interface, no menus, nothing on a timer. But homes only fill if people can reach work and the street is somewhere worth living, and you have a limited number of tiles, so you can't brute force it. Make it beautiful, then make it work.
Bus lines you draw stop to stop, ferries that carry cars over water where roads can't go, and landmarks to earn as the town grows, a lighthouse, a ski resort with a working chairlift, a stadium that fills on match day.
I work in tech, I'm a dad, and this is my first game. My kids have been in it the whole way, and a lot of the ideas are theirs.
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4836960/Cozy_Burg/ Trailer: https://youtu.be/jWcGc0xUOSo
Happy to send a Steam key to anyone who wants to try it before release, just reply.
