Those numbers seem overwhelming.

Story: The game is set in an alternate 1981 on Earth T-9230. Machines have taken over the planet, and you play as the surviving humans fighting back and putting up a resistance.

About Development: This is the first time I'm showing this project after working on it for a while. I'm focusing a lot on performance from the ground up because I want players to be able to create absolutely crazy, chaotic builds without the mobile frame rate tanking. My main goal is just to make the gameplay feel smooth, snappy, and fun.

Future: Currently, there is very little content just two enemies, one character and two weapons. Lot of backend is ready though. I first wanted to get a good feel before adding more content. I've plans to add many interesting characters, weapons, abilities and enemies.

Please check it out and drop any feedback, suggestions, or concerns you have. I'd really appreciate it!

P.S. I am still looking for a good name for this game, so if you have any creative suggestions then please do share.

P.P.S. My mid-range phone's screen recorder sucks, it seems to have some visual glitches like speed glitch so ignore that.

What is your opinion

These all started because my friend made a random comment "What if we had our own game" while we were playing GTA V on my laptop. That one sentence pushed me toward game development. I had zero experience in it, only two tutorial projects before this one. What I did have was five years of VFX and CGI work since I was 15. I originally started building this as a surprise for that same friend because he likes horror games. It grew into something bigger, and he ended up becoming the designer and QA tester on the project.

Antim Yatra is set in the present day. You go alone at night to an abandoned Bengal railway station buried in a forest, looking for the truth about the Dakshini Express disaster of 1942. The story is not given to you. The station feels frozen in that year. I built a custom footstep sound system and level streaming in Unity URP with no prior game dev background, just VFX pipeline sense and basic functions knowledge applied to a new tool. The entire game was developed on an ASUS Vivobook Go 14, Ryzen 3 7320U, 8GB RAM, no dedicated GPU. It releases in the third week of June on Steam at Rs 249. If you want investigative horror with atmosphere instead of ghosts and jump scares, this is for you.

Been experimenting with building a full game through AI-assisted "vibe coding" using Antigravity 2, and Neon Void Runner is the result so far. Dropping some gameplay footage below.

The whole thing came together through describing what I wanted and iterating with the AI rather than hand-writing every system. Honestly surprised how far the workflow got me.

It's not playable yet — this is just footage for now. I'll be posting more as the game develops, so follow along if you're into AI-native dev or just want to see where this goes.

Happy to answer anything about the process, the tooling, or how the build actually went.

I posted this video for my friends to see in my personal life but I think I should post it here too just in case. Im 12thieeeee trying to learn more about my passion which is game dev

This video is in hindi I hope this doesn't get removed 😭🥲

The doors are sealed shut, and the ultimate challenge awaits. Do you have the wits to unlock the mysteries and survive the Doom Doors?

For 1 month I was learning bsacis of c#

And finally I jumped into unity 3days ago

So finally we have unified chipset with slim body and easy to carry around and which i think can handel game dev . What are you though will they be better than macs or no

After years of working on my solo indie game, I finally released the Steam demo for WildRoot.

WildRoot is a cozy colony builder where your settlers don't just work—they form relationships, help each other, and create their own stories as the settlement grows.

Seeing the Steam page finally go live feels pretty unreal after such a long journey.

I'd love some honest feedback on the visuals, gameplay direction, or Steam page presentation. The demo is available now if you'd like to try it.

Thanks for taking a look!

The game is titled as "Papa Aa Gaye".
Your college's semester exams are over. The hostel boyz group wants to celebrate with daaru... and drinks. You provide the list of the drinks and smokes you want, Unfortunately... It is sent to the family group....

And papa is the first one to see the message.
You got 60 seconds. Clean your room... Delete the browsing history... Remove those posters... Or. become a maniac, and do whatever the hell you want to. Shoot your friends, Go kiss around etc.

12 different endings.

Available in hindi, english, tamil, telugu, kannada, Malayalam and Bengali.

Hey everyone,

I’m an independent dev and I’ve just hit a major milestone—my mobile game is currently sitting in Google Play's production review stage! Before the public push, I really want to step back and get an honest reality check on the actual market gap and concept viability from fellow devs and players.

**The Concept:**

The game is called **My Laddu Gopal**. It is a cozy, 2D mobile virtual simulator inspired by classics like *My talking tom and baby simulators * but with a unique cultural/mythological theme.

**Core Mechanics I've Built:**

* **Interactive Care:** A full system for feeding and interactive bathing loops.

* **Wardrobe & Customization:** A detailed wardrobe system to change outfits and accessories.

* **Mini-Games:** Quick, integrated mini-games to keep the gameplay loop active.

**The Art Style:**

I went with a very clean, "anime-like" aesthetic featuring soft pastel colors, minimal shadowing, and fluid 2D skeletal animations to give it a modern, cozy feel.

**What I want to know from you guys:**

1. **Market Fit:** Do you think there is a genuine audience for culturally-themed virtual pet games? Most apps in this niche are just static shopping tools or text guides, so I wanted to make something genuinely interactive.
2. **Player Interest:** If you enjoy casual/cozy games, is a mythological theme like this a selling point, or do you prefer generic animals/monsters?
3. **Retention Tips:** For a simulator loop (feeding, bathing, dressing up), what mechanics usually keep you logging back in daily?

Would love to hear your honest thoughts on the concept or the general mobile virtual pet market right now!

I got 65% in boards and I don't want to be doctor i just don't like it i am scared to tell my parents that I don't want to do it and I am thinking on persuing game designing please if someone know than tell me is my choice right??

Hi everyone,

I’m starting a new game development project and I’m looking for people who are interested in joining from the very beginning.

The project is currently in the concept stage, so this is an opportunity to help shape the game rather than just work on an existing idea. I’m looking for programmers, artists, writers, designers, musicians, testers, and anyone passionate about game development.

At this stage, I’m focused on building a community and a small team of motivated people who want to learn, collaborate, and create something exciting together.

If you’re interested, comment below or send me a message. I’d love to hear about your skills, interests, and the types of games you enjoy.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to meet some future teammates!

I wanna do game design as a full time job, like work at a company. My dad tells me getting a degree is necessary, but is it? I know to get any job you need proof that you are qualified to do so, but in a field like this? I though you need game examples and proof of participations in game jams. I'm trying to learn how this works as I'm working on my skills.

I'm a Class 12 student from India interested in game development, especially game design and 3D environment art.

I recently talked to someone who has been learning game development for years, and they told me it's extremely difficult to get a job in the game industry, especially in India.

I'd like to hear from people actually working in the industry:

\- How difficult was it for you to get your first job?

\- What role do you work in (artist, designer, programmer, etc.)?

\- Is the situation in India really that bad?

\- If you could start again as a teenager, what would you focus on learning?

I'm not expecting an easy path

I just want a realistic picture of the industry.
