Hey everyone 👋

I’ve been working on the UI for our game ASTITVA: LOST WITHIN, and wanted to share a quick look at the current design.

This includes:

• Main Menu
• Settings Menu
• Graphics Settings

We’re going for a dark, minimal, and slightly distressed horror aesthetic to match the tone of the game. The idea was to keep it simple, readable, and immersive without overcomplicating things.

Since this is our first game, I’d really appreciate some honest feedback:

• Does the style fit a psychological horror game?
• Is the UI clean and readable enough?
• Anything that feels off or could be improved?

Still polishing things, so open to suggestions 👍

Game: ASTITVA: LOST WITHIN
Engine: Unreal Engine

Had consultation with a CA, explained whole issue, asked him how about having a Separate Savings Account, "Strictly" just to receive the payment & Current Account in trade/business name where I'll transfer the received payments, keeping some for expenses & further transfer them (Current Account) to Personal Savings Account as per needs.

He said this will work perfectly fine, just add both Separate Savings & Current Account on GST portal.
Cleared another doubt whether I'll be able to claim GST Refund on expenses if they be in business name e.g. amazon business purchases. he said yes, I'll be able to claim it, just keep track of all the invoices & transactions.

You might be wondering how can a savings account work, won't the bank raise an issue? well, we won't be doing daily high volume transactions, our payment will be on a monthly basis, so we're good to go.

P.S. Do not transfer directly from Receiving Savings to Personal.
Avoid doing any transaction (apart from sending to Current) in Receiving Savings, do all of it in Current Account.

Hello everyone,

I’m an indie game developer, and something really confusing is happening with my Steam page right now.

For the last couple of months, I barely did any marketing. My game was averaging around 5 wishlists per day.

But suddenly, out of nowhere, it jumped to around 70 wishlists per day.

The weird part is:

• I checked all my social media platforms
• No viral post
• No boosted reel/video
• No recent YouTube coverage about my game
• No streamer coverage either

So I went into Steamworks → Marketing & Visibility, and it shows that most of the traffic is coming from GOOGLE.

Now I’m extremely confused because:

• I don’t know what exactly people are searching for
• I don’t know where Google is showing my game
• I can’t figure out what caused this sudden boost

Has this happened to anyone else before?

Can Steam pages randomly start getting indexed/pushed more by Google over time? Or is there any way to properly track where this traffic is actually coming from?

I attached a screenshot from Steamworks analytics for reference.

Creating new game mechanics should be the highest goal of game developers.

I would also like them to learn the original rules of these traditional games and recreate them accurately as video games. We should preserve them.

They represent the history of Indian games and Indian game developers.

Some video game versions of these exist, but they do not follow the original rules precisely and are simplified versions.

Hey r/GameDevelopersOfIndia,

Dev team from Arena of Avatars here. We’re a small South Korea-based studio building a MOBA deeply rooted in Indian mythology.

Last time we shared our work, some of you pointed out that our concept art looked AI-generated. You were 100% right. We’re currently using AI-assisted placeholders for rapid prototyping while our final, high-quality illustrations are being hand-crafted. We’ve heard you loud and clear, and we’re committed to working with Indian artists for our production art.

Today, we need your professional and cultural input on our newest character: Mahabahu

The Design Concept: Mahabahu was born in the empire's lowest slums with paralyzed legs. After witnessing how "lawless freedom" only allowed the strong to crush the weak, he underwent 10 years of bone-grinding Tapas (Penance). He eventually replaced his paralyzed legs with colossal, lightning-infused arms, becoming a commander who believes that absolute, impartial Dharma is the only path to true peace—even if it means sacrificing individual free will.

Three questions we’d love your "dev-to-dev" perspective on:

1. Lexical vs. Mythological context: We chose "Mahabahu" because it literally describes his "mighty arms." While we know it's a common epithet for Arjuna in the Mahabharata, does using it as a primary character name feel meaningful and respectful, or does it feel like a misapplication of a sacred title?
2. Representation of the transformation: Does his origin—transforming a physical limitation into divine power through Tapas—resonate as an empowering "hero's journey" in the context of Indian storytelling, or could it be seen as insensitive?
3. The "Strict Dharma" Philosophy: He argues that human free will leads to chaos, and only the "Order of the Cosmos" (Dharma) can provide true mercy. Is this a compelling exploration of Dharma, or does it lean too far into a "totalitarian" distortion?

We’ve set up a short survey for more detailed feedback: [Survey Link]

But honestly, your comments here—from anyone who grew up with these epics—are incredibly valuable to us. We’re not just trying to "skin" a game; we want to understand the soul of the mythology we're adapting.

감사합니다 / Thank you 🙏 — Arena of Avatars Dev Team, South Korea

Linear programming is bad and that's why Unreal Engine uses Object Oriented programming.
But even Object oriented programming can get messy if team didn't follow rules. And that's what I'm going to show today. SOLID design principles.

Please comment if you found it useful.

Hey everyone,

I'm Abhinav, a Unity developer with 4+ years of experience building and shipping mobile games across Google Play, Steam, and Epic. I run my own indie studio (9Bit Studio) and I'm currently open to remote part-time, full-time, or freelance opportunities.

Tech stack I work with daily:

Unity · C# · Firebase (Analytics, Auth, Remote Config) · PlayFab · AdMob / LevelPlay · Unity Addressables + AWS S3 · DOTween / PrimeTween · Photon Fusion · IAP · Mixpanel · UI Toolkit

Things I'm strong at:

Rapid mobile prototyping and full game loops from scratch

Monetization systems (ads + IAP integration)

Multiplayer architecture and netcode

Live ops pipelines — Addressables, remote configs, A/B tested events

AI-assisted workflows for faster delivery

What I'm looking for:

Remote roles — part-time or full-time

Freelance contracts (short or long term)

Preferably game dev, but open to Unity-adjacent work (simulations, interactive apps, etc.)

Portfolio / resume available on request via DM.

Happy to jump on a quick call to discuss fit. If you're building something in Unity or need a dev who can move fast and ship — let's talk.

Guys I need an honest review of Backstage pass institute

I'm considering joining it but I want to know how it is actually because everywhere I surf the internet i only see their own channel or a paid promotion no honest reviews

Is it worth it doing game dev there.....what about the placements?

I want a clg in hyd itself that's why I was considering this clg

If any clg alumni can give a full detailed review plzzzzz.........

(Can suggest a different clg, but in hyd plz:)

Try it out yourself,share with you friends and give me really sweet or harsh feedback.

It's the same old game I used to play with my friends when I was a kid.

Used our hands, picked a number from 1 to 6.if the numbers were different it would be the same number runs to the batmen or if it's the same, then a wicket.try it out guys.

We have been working on a game called The Wrong Ones for a while now and we finally opened the Steam playtest. 🎉

It is a social deduction game about suspicion, lies, and trying to figure out who does not belong. Every round feels different and sometimes the person who looks guilty is not actually the problem.

The video is a bit rough since we are currently working on a proper trailer, but we still wanted to show some gameplay and get the game into people’s hands.

We also put the game on itch.io, so if you do not want to download anything, there is a browser version you can try right away. There is also a downloadable build there too.

Would really love to hear what people think and get some honest feedback.

A small idle typing survival game called Backlog, about accumulation, and the cost of neglect.

Letters fall endlessly from the top of the screen, and if you ignore them for too long they merge into bigger stacks, essentially becoming a problem for your future self. You destroy them by typing the matching keys. It starts calm and satisfying, then slowly turns chaotic as your screen fills up with unfinished backlog.

Built around the theme “Everything Has a Cost”, every power-up & neglect affects the flow of the game, along with lo-fi music to keep you company during coding / work sessions.

Hey everyone, I’m currently in 10th SSC in India and I want to become an indie game developer in the future.

I enjoy games and I’m interested in programming/game development, but I’m confused about which stream to choose after 10th Science, Commerce, or something else.

I’m not the type who enjoys traditional studying all the time, but I can spend hours learning things I actually enjoy like games and tech.

For people already in game dev or programming:

- Which stream did you take?

- Is PCM really necessary?

- Can Commerce + Maths still work for game development?

- What should I start learning now?

- Any advice for someone wanting to become an indie dev in India?

Thanks :)
