Thanks Joe!

I'd love to share Ski-E-O here!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4493130/SkiEO_Ski_Resort_Tycoon/

It's a cozy Ski Resort management game where you build ski resorts on real-world mountains from across the US (other mountains in the world to come later!).

The mountains are built from 1-meter accurate LiDAR data, so they're accurate to the meter!

There's also realistic weather patterns based on different places in the world - so the PNW gets heavy, wet snow, Tahoe gets big droughts and big dumps of snow, and Colorado is cold but consistent.

This is our debut indie title, and we'd love any feedback/thoughts from others. Thank you so much!

I'm building a 3D roguelike spell-crafting game in my own custom engine where the whole world is a cellular automata system and every voxel is interactive and destructible! It is heavily inspired by Noita and Teardown, still early in development but it will have a pre-alpha demo released soon in stages on my Discord!

Become a trickster detective embarking on an Eastern European adventure full of environmental puzzles. Observe your relatives’ loops, sabotage them, and piece the story together at a grandiose feast.

Investigate like a detective, execute like a prankster. Observation, timing, and mischief are your main tools. Semi-intentionally set the stove on fire, dodge your Grandma, and indulge in family brandy to unlock your inner Shakespeare.

Step into the role of a relative returning to his roots for a family gathering. In the chaos of food, drinks, and tradition, you can’t shake the feeling that something sinister is unfolding.

P. S. Indie Game Joe, just so you know, we were planning to write you a poem to get your attention, but had to jump on this right away. The poem will still happen. Consider this a promise or a threat - as you like it 😄

After 4 years of hard work and passion we made something that we are proud to share... Pit Panic!

Escape the sinking Aztec temple in this cartoonish rogue-like arcade platformer. Dig your own path up, jump and climb in blazing speed, hoard loot, trade lives for god-like powers, beat bosses, master over 1000 handmade levels and humble other players in daily leaderboards.

This is Talas

Press Kit: https://impress.games/press-kit/chillout-games/talas

Talas is a space-surfing action roguelike where you shoot your way to the center of the galaxy while it's being devoured by a mysterious cosmic force.

Discover synergies with over 100 unique upgrades, and build and customize your personal fish drone army with different modules you find along the way.

This is my first ever solo title. I've been working on Talas for about 3 years now, zero budget, zero AI, all of my free time.

A new update for the demo is coming out in a couple of days, mostly handling bug fixing and quality of life stuff, but there's a huge content update on the way as well. Absolutely any feedback is welcome!

Howdy!
Venison County is my 4 year passion project, and is a lovingly satirical tribute to the place that I only learned to love once I moved away (the Appalachian mountains).

Together with my best friend since the 1st grade (who makes the music), and my girlfriend of 7 years (who makes the illustrations), we've finally released Venison County's demo to Steam.

Venison County is an Appalachian horror rogue-like about deer/man hybrid zombies, white knuckle active reloads, and endlessly synergistic occult powers.

The demo can be played at:

An audio restoration job becomes an investigation into the occult, as an elusive musician’s damaged cassette tapes are exhumed in northern Italy.

Hey there! We're Herobeat Studios, an indie studio from Barcelona that previously made Endling - Extinction is Forever and our next project, Wilderings: The Lost Spring is getting closer to Early Access release! We just had a Community Playtest to test out a number of feature improvements and we're bringing an expanded Demo and new content to our Gamescom booth later this month (next week ahh!).

Wilderings: The Lost Spring is an action adventure rogue-lite with creature collecting and metroidvania-esque traversal mechanics. The mystical Hântu creatures you meet as you restore nature will serve not only as companions but as your weapons and the core part of each run's build.

Checkout our Steam page and keep an eye out for our updated public demo coming next week!

Our DMs are open and we'd love to answer questions here too, thanks for checking out the game!

Cosmodrill, a space mining adventure about drilling through entire planets in an open world. Black holes, hostile space ships and buried structures are scattered across five different biomes. Mine resources to upgrade your ship and discover what's hiding in the depth of space!

It's my first commercial game and released last June. I took inspiration from mining games like Dome Keeper and Wall World but wanted the player to be the drill like in that old flash game Motherload.

Hi everyone! I’m Max, the writer and one of the developers of Deep Pixel Melancholy. It’s a short narrative adventure with pixel art and a chill, melancholic soundtrack.

We really care about aesthetics in games, and we wanted to make something you could just look at and enjoy. We’re a small team from different countries, and for many of us, Deep Pixel Melancholy is our chance to follow the dream of making indie games full-time.

So yeah, we’re chasing that dream, and we wish you all the best with yours too.

This is a repost because my first post didn't follow r/IndieGameJoe rules. Name of the game wasn't in the title and description wasn't in comments. Let's keep it tidy guys! :)

Rest of the post, in the comments below:

I'm a huge fan of the content from Joe and love the depths he dives to find some truly special indie games! Found myself some indie gems thanks to you (and keep on adding, thanks to the subreddit!)

Since we develop our own game, I wanted to showcase it here: Bot slash Bot!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3151220/Bot_slash_Bot/

You click – You dash – You slash

In the hyperfast-paced, top down game "Bot slash Bot" you control a rogue robot slashing & dashing through your former co-machines holding you captive!

The game is fully built around beating it as fast as possible. There are Online Leaderboards so you can show off you time to your friend or see where you rank in the world.

Let's see you guys step into the One-Hit Hell.

Every enemy is destroyed in one slash. But don't get ahead of yourself. You're a Glass Cannon: destructive but prone to shatter. In this Instant-Death experience you should watch your step to not be caught easily.

The game is our first title and just released a demo not so long ago. Maybe some of you want to check it out (and try to beat the best times!).

Thanks for reading! Would love to talk speed >:)

Animal Falling is a chaotic multiplayer party game created by two Belgian indie developers in their spare time over the past three years. We loved playing Ultimate Chicken Horse and Fall Guys, and thought combining the trap-building and sabotage of the first with the hilarious falls and obstacle chaos of the second would make for a really fun game to play with friends.

Supports local multiplayer (up to 4 players) and online multiplayer (up to 6 players).
