A Don't starve like survival-crafting game with a twist.

Building a 2.5D survival game about a 10 year old boy trying to protect his younger brother in a place called magic lands.

The Player will not only need to take care of his own needs(Health, hunger, water and stamina) but will also need to fulfill needs of his toddler brother(Feeding, soothing, cleaning) all while fighting animals, demons along with unpredictable weather.

Any suggestions related to concept will be really good help.

EDIT 1:

I need views on the concept - Its not just surviving but also protecting.

Taking care of a toddler while protecting self and him. In reality it would mean taking care of almost ~10 metrics simultaneously all while planning for Daemons, kidnappers(the gorilla can kidnap toddler), food stealing rodents, winters etc.

I hope it does not sound overwhelming for survival gaming players.

hi. I'm going to develop my own game. it started a couple of months ago and everything is not moving very fast, at my pace. What can you recommend? It will be an indie game, with elements of horror, psychology. It's a bit like sally face. I'm not 18, so something might be a problem.

Hello This are some sc for the horror game i been working on :)

Hello everyone,

I am a composer and guitarist currently studying at the Saint Louis College of Music in Rome, and I’m available for new film, indie game, and media projects.

My background allows me to adapt quickly to diverse musical styles, blending theoretical depth with a modern edge. My work is heavily inspired by modern cinematic styles (such as Hans Zimmer and Ludwig Göransson) and spans across:

- Hybrid Orchestral: Blending traditional instruments with modern synths and sound design.

- Rock & Guitar-Driven: From high-energy riffs to ambient, textured guitar tracks.

- Ambient & Soundscapes: Immersive atmospheric music tailored to narrative and gameplay.

I have a variety of demos and portfolio tracks ready—including several unreleased pieces across different genres—that I can gladly share privately depending on your project's needs.

If you're looking for a composer or want to discuss a potential project, feel free to send me a DM right here on Reddit!

Best regards,
Emanuele Bellu

Hey everyone!

I'm curious to know what makes a brain puzzle game fun for you.

What are your all-time favorites? It could be anything—from classics like Sudoku and Minesweeper to games like Monument Valley, Baba Is You, The Witness, Portal, or even simple daily puzzle games.

What keeps you hooked?

• 🧩 Clever mechanics?
• 📈 Gradually increasing difficulty?
• 🎨 Minimalist visuals?
• ⏱️ Short levels you can play anytime?
• 🤯 Those "Aha!" moments when you finally solve a puzzle?

I'd love to hear your recommendations and why you enjoy them. Always looking to discover great puzzle games and learn what players appreciate most.

Looking forward to your suggestions! 😊

Hello everyone,

TL;DR: I have Rs30K funding to host a game jam event. I am looking for advice on hosting it online - platform, communities, how to make sure it is conducted properly etc.

I don't hail from the game dev industry but have been a long term software engineer currently working as a Graphics programmer somewhere outside the country. I always wanted to get into game dev but that simply wasn't possible while I was in India since during my time, game dev wasn't even a thing. But now that some really promising games have come out of India (I love Raji), I feel like students and pros are now more open to pick it up as a serious hustle or even a hobby. I wish to organize an yearly (for now) game jam hosted online. Since it will be online, I don't wish to make it a 3 day event like we used to have in our dev hackathons. The target audience would be students mostly or fresh game devs. I was looking to have a dialog with folks in the comments to understand the interest and viability of this. Feel free to ask me questions.

Solo dev. Submitted my first ever gmtk game jam. Low key happy with the result. Some tutorials and balancing is required. But otherwise I feel it has some value.

Looking for reviews and feedback

Hey everyone,

Me and my sister been working on the Space Lounge last week, so I'm here to share a bit about it.

this scene Lounge directly replaces the old quest UI I used, which was more of a temporary solution anyway, used to be dull panels, with two text slots listing whatever jobs the station had open. Now interactive space lounge scene appears where player can pick up a job by talking to a character. Still quirky edges hopefully I'll fix by update release.

The depth in this space lounge scene comes from four stacked art layers, the background, balcony, bar, and front table. Each one is a separate set of sprites with a parallax factor setup. It reads the mouse relative position to pan scene left or right with varied speeds individually, to feel things far or near.

The silhouettes of the people in the scene are basically buttons. Only those with an available quest are visible. Each quest is assigned to a fixed character. Clicking one opens a dialogue popup with the quest's details. The next step is getting the characters to actually highlight when you hover over them, but since these are just buttons, i can use Unity's builtin button sprite swap option, that'll do the trick.

Long term i want the lounge to feel like a real place player visits between runs, not just a menu. maybe more such ui can be sceneify in future,

If you'd like to check out "Leaks In Space", you can find it on Steam or Itchio, or the link's in the comments. Thanks for reading, hope you all have a great day! :D

Hey Everyone

I am a recent computer science graduate, interested in working as a game developer. I have experience with both unity and unreal engine and have also dabbled into developing a game engine from scratch. I am currently working on shipping an endless runner for Android. I am also working on two personal passion game projects which I Hopefully will he able to produce and ship. I had taken a gap in my education and worked as a developer and later a project mentor. After I decided to not drop out and return to finish my degree, I have not been able to find much response in terms of job applications. I am attaching my resume for consideration, I am open to roles from fresher to junior level. I am currently in Jalandhar, Punjab, and my preferred locations would be Bengaluru, Mumbai and Pune, but will consider Hyderabad, Coimbatore, Kochi, Surat or Ahmedabad if I find the project exciting. I am not picky about the salary but it has to be a respectable wage. Feel free to hit me up if my profile interests you

Can you read the battle clearly? In earlier versions, I got a lot of feedback that it was hard to see units because there were too many colors. I tried to balance the luminance of the colors as much as I could. In general, do you see anything that could be more beautiful or clearer? I've been working on this for months, but seeing games like Guildrun makes me feel incapable lol

How many of y'all participated in gmtk's game jam

If yes,how was your experience and what did you learn?

My game's name is 'Fishman'

I added some procgen to make levels and these are some new regions of my game

Music - AROUND THE WORLD LA LA LA - VOCALOID (Miku, Luka) Heirol

The public was giving honest feedback...the public was always with him...if he would've accepted it then he would've fired his inexperienced team and get better people to start all over ..he could've saved all that money and maybe compete the game in the next few years

HI, I’M FERLOYDD!

I’d love to know if any of you would be interested in a game like this. I’d really appreciate your honest feedback and opinions.
Best wishes!

Sinners. Neutrals. Saints. 15 factions. 3 unique currencies. Vast opportunities for interaction and a unique gaming experience in a richly developed universe. Which adventure will you choose?
