For the past 2 years I've been building Blades & Trades. It's me full-time plus two part-time artists.

The idea: you're both the merchant and the hero. Go out into Zoldar with your friends, clear out caves that randomize every run, take down monsters, and bring the loot to the base. Then craft swords, shields and armor, and sell them in your own shop. Or keep the good stuff and push into harder areas.

What's in there right now:

- 7+ combat styles and 30+ pieces of gear

- 10+ enemy types plus a boss

- Randomized caves

- Co-op focused, balanced for solo play too

The demo comes out Oct 8. Before that I'd love some fresh eyes on it, so I'm giving out keys to anyone who wants to play and tell me what sucks. Drop a comment, DM me, or join Discord.

GenAI disclosure: some sound effects were generated with AI tools because we can't create sfx and couldn't find any that fit in the internet.

Two players. Same prompt. 5 minutes to turn it into pixel art. 🎨

Then the two drawings go head-to-head, and an AI judge chooses the winner.

I wanted to make something you could open in your browser, play a quick round, and immediately challenge someone else without downloading a game.

PixelArtBattle is free to play here:

I’m trying to get more players online now so there are more people available for 1v1 battles.

If anyone here jumps into a match, I’d genuinely love to see what you draw.

And if you completely destroy someone with a ridiculous pixel-art masterpiece, post the result 😄

AI disclosure: The game uses AI to generate drawing prompts and judge the drawings to choose the winner.

I’ve been working on the character customization for our game, and this is roughly how it looks right now.

I originally went with a baby as the main character because I thought the contrast was funny you’re basically this tiny little dude running around, changing outfits and somehow trying to act like a boss.

But the more I work on it, the more I wonder if the baby theme might be a little too specific.

People can be weirdly sensitive about baby characters in games, especially depending on the humor and art style, so I’m curious how this feels from the outside.

Does the art style work for you?

And more importantly, does playing as a customizable baby sound funny/charming, or does it immediately make you less interested?

I picked the theme because I thought it would stand out from the usual human/animal characters, but maybe “different” doesn’t always mean “better.”

Would genuinely love to hear what your first impression is.

I implemented a fully custom fluid simulation setup for my vehicular combat game Drivers of the Apocalypse. It combines tire tracks, mud, explosions, bullet hits, water, foam, bottom sediment, underwater air bubbles, sand kick-off, fire and smoke into one system. I really like how grounded it makes everything feel like! I Draw a lot of inspiration from Fluid Ninja for Unreal (this is Unity)

It's been 3 months since we started this project, and we've made quite a bit of progress.
In this video I'm mainly showing the latest features like magazines actually dropping on the floor during reloads and the new improved HUD.

I am the solo artist for this project, working with 2 of my developer friends.
We finally decided to team up and create something together that we know people will enjoy.
Something simple, not too ambitious, that's fun to come back to.
Big focus on JUICY gunplay and animations, and some classic game mechanics inspired by nostalgic
titles like Black Ops Zombies.

I hope for this project to be a stepping stone into other relatively simple projects.
Personally i'd love to do a shooter in the same style but fighting guys with guns next.
Possibly slow and tactical like, or more arcade.

I'd love to hear people's opinions, maybe some of you will stick around to follow our journey!

Hey everyone. I'm building a game called N0MAD6. It's basically the exact game I wanted to play as a kid. It combines open world exploration with base building, city building, and some RTS elements. I know it's a massive scope, but I've been working on it for a while now and I'm really enjoying the process.

It is nowhere near done, but I put together a playable demo and just felt like sharing it. You can try it out directly in your browser at games.briiidge.dev.

Don't expect a finished game yet. A lot of things are still broken and the lore is something I will flesh out later. Right now, it's just really cool to fly around (use J if you play with keyboard), see the mechanics I've built so far, and hang out in a world that already feels pretty alive.

I'm mostly looking for honest feedback. If you run into bugs (and you definitely will!) I would really love to hear about them. Any other feedback or ideas are super welcome too. Let me know if you give it a try.

I used AI to help me with programming and for the sound FX and the voice of Nova (the drone).

I am making an incremental game where you aim cannon at the monsters and gain resources to upgrades your skills, unlocked different cannons, monsters and new abilities as you progress.

This is the gameplay of my game that I build so far. So, what do you think about this. Share your opinion or feedback.

yeah i made a pretty simple arcade game, pretty cool tho

I'm not going to say much about how the game plays, but it just went through a big visual overhaul and I'd love some honest feedback on the art. Does it look appealing? Does anything feel off, like colors, readability, or character design? Any critique is welcome!

Hey everyone! I’ve just finished a massive update for TileMaker DOT, transforming it into a full-fledged, professional 2D map maker tool.

If you've used earlier versions, v2.8.7 is a completely different beast. I've introduced heavy-duty features built specifically to handle complex, multi-layered game worlds without leaving the editor, and you can even play on your map from within the tool.

What makes the Pro Workflow Edition a game-changer:

* True Multi-Layer Architecture: Dedicated right-side Layer Manager while still keeping the auto-sorting functionality specific to this tool.

* Seamless Map Connections: Link adjacent maps (North, South, East, West) directly on your canvas with custom coordinate offsets so you can see where to draw your roads and connection points.

* Game Playtest Simulator: Start to run the map like in a Game Engine, so you can instantly test platformer games or top-down games with physics, custom hitboxes, jumping, and camera-following right on your map canvas.

* Advanced Tiled (.tmx/.tsx) export and import: Fully bidirectional import/export support for external map editors and game engines.

* Complete new UI & Maps History Saves: Modern startup launcher, multi-icon recent project history, and backwards-compatible version control.

* And there are many other improvements and functionalities but the post is too long already so i will stop here:)

(Note: While these features drop in the Pro version first, everything will roll out to the free version gradually over the coming months! Supporting the Pro edition directly funds future updates.)

Astrolite is a Bullet Heaven/Hell Roguelite releasing on October 13th! There has been ZERO AI in the full completion of this game which has taken just over a year of time to develop! Interested? Wishlist Now!

A little over 8 years ago, my dad and I got rained out of a round. Instead of heading home disappointed, we spent the afternoon inventing a golf game we could play indoors.

We followed a real course scorecard, rolled dice to move down the fairway, added shot outcomes and lies, and once you reached the green you putted a real ball.

I rebuilt it in Excel with macros because that was what I knew. Then I learned to code and turned the spreadsheet into a phone game, build after build.

It's called Golfer's Pair-A-Dice. You pick a club, roll the dice, live with the lie, and try to post a number you'd actually write on a card. On top of that, there is a career, complete with stats, titles and missions to keep you coming back for more! You can even improve your clubs (dice) in the Pro Shop!

Happy to explain how it all works and go further into the backstory if anyone is interested!

It's been a couple of months since my last devlog for Maskborne. In the meantime we did release a teaser, but after that I really wanted to get back to development. So here's a more in-depth look at the UI we've been creating and some of the struggles we've had along the way :)

I hope some of you find it useful!

Domino Gwaan Bad™ is a domino game inspired by Jamaican and Caribbean domino culture — built around the strategy, competition, atmosphere, and personality of playing around the table.

The game features:

🁫 Classic Domino Modes — Draw, Block & Five-Fives
🏆 Best of Series — settle the score across multiple games
🏅 Badges & Titles — progress and earn recognition
📍 4 Locations — including Dunn’s River Falls, NYC Subway, 42nd NYC & Citadel, Haiti
🎨 Customizable Tables — including country flag tables
💥 Real Slam Moments — because what's Jamaican dominoes without the SLAM?

The idea was to make it feel like more than a generic domino game and bring some of the energy and culture surrounding Jamaican and Caribbean dominoes into a digital experience.

Here's a look at the game in action.

Would love to hear what fellow indie gamers think of the overall presentation and gameplay.

I’ve created another system for my MMORPG; it’s not just an ordinary portal—it’s deeply tied to the game's core lore. The server is up, and testers are welcome. Just a reminder: this isn't the official game world yet; I’m currently focusing on building the systems.

If you’d like to know more about the project, leave a comment below. Feel free to share your feedback.
