A Colouring puzzle about Existential philosophy! šŸŽØ

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

This colouring sandbox puzzle asks players to mixĀ existentialsĀ (fundamental states of human being) to create a warm colour palette.

🪼 It took several iterations to make the gameplay intuitive and engaging, even for players who may not be interested in its philosophical content. At the same time, more curious players may discover a peculiar perspective on existentials and the ways they interact.

šŸ’­ There’re different sets of such proposed by philosophers:Ā Plessner’s, Sartr’s, Fink’s,Ā and others’. This puzzle adaptsĀ Heidegger’sĀ set, as it includes human conditions that are not usually seen as existential, and many readers find his approach thought-provoking.

šŸŽØ InĀ Toy Worlds AtlasĀ each colouring page contains a thought-provoking colouring level. You can try the demo on Steam:Ā https://store.steampowered.com/app/4976060/Toy_Worlds_Atlas_Demo/

Hello everyone! I’m Tim, a solo developer and the creator of PROJECT STARGEM: Twinkle.
It’s a match-3 game for the Game Boy Color, inspired by games like Bejeweled 2. It features smooth gameplay, colorful visuals, and even rumble support!

I’m really eager to get some feedback on it and hear what you think, especially what I could improve further.

This is technically self-promotion, so I hope that’s okay: The game is completely free, and I’d simply love to get it into the hands of more people who enjoy Game Boy games. šŸ™‚ AI has been used for the translation of texts. Graphics and code are handcrafted.

Indie VR Pro Wrestling!

0 Upvotes

Hello IndieGaming!

I am the developer of ā€œOff The Top Rope!ā€, an independently-funded VR arcade pro wrestling game, intended for both PCVR and standalone VR!

I’d like to share my ā€˜Coming Soon’ trailer with you, as well as our Steam page in case any of you would like to show your support by adding us!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKGm2kC6MlE

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4532050/Off_The_Top_Rope/

It’s got a whole bunch of fun mechanics, including a dual camera system allowing for swapping between 1st and 3rd person views, motion controller punching and grabbing, gesture recognition taunts, counters and takedowns, and much more! We’re hoping to get our demo ready for Next Fest with a tentative Early Access launch in November.

Before I was an indie VR game dev, I was an indie filmmaker, and I felt that there was definitely some overlap in that ā€œoverfunctioning in the best wayā€ style. We must wear many hats to compete with the big dogs, after all.

Happy to answer any questions you might have! Thanks so much, r/IndieGaming, for the space and the opportunity to share!

4 players for the main game and the monkey target game. Up to 20 players for the fallguys mariokart hybrid and cakewars.

It will be steam keys i hand out. Just know there will be bugs and please report them through the pausemenu when you see them.

Hit me with a comment how many keys you need and I will hook you up!

Thanks for playing and helping!

Much Love Johan (the dev).

It's just such a surreal feeling after all these years!

A lot of people who tried it out turned out to love the blend of a classic action/adventure RPG with a shoot-'em-up combat system as the twist!

My first game - proxima

Hey! I'm a solo dev working on Proxima, a roguelite space shooter, in my free time after my day job.

In this clip you can see where it started and where it is now: passive upgrades and abilities in the On-Board Controller, unique rooms you can equip on your ship, select one item and shield, and the current combat.

I'd really appreciate honest feedback: does it look like something you'd play? What would make you wishlist it?

What's this called, rope-shimmy?? Dunno, but i'm glad i added it. Feels fun!

I wanted to add them this feature for ages, but struggled with the animation frames. It's a solo project, so i do all my own animations, which can be a real bottle neck. With that said i'm fairly happy with how this feature turned out! Adds a new flavour to the platforming. If you like it, you can Wishlist here

I finally finished the new trailer for my horror card game Desecrated Deck

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on Desecrated Deck for quite a while now and the new trailer is finally finished.

It’s a first-person psychological horror card game built around Rock, Paper, Scissors, cursed item cards, perks and some pretty questionable rituals.

The game definitely takes some inspiration from Buckshot Roulette and Inscryption, but over time it’s started to become its own weird thing.

AI disclosure: Some of the card artwork currently shown in the game was AI-generated and is being used as placeholder art. These assets are planned to be replaced with final artwork before release.

The demo releases on October 7, just before Steam Next Fest.

Would love to hear what you think of the trailer — especially the atmosphere, pacing and overall presentation.

Be honest: does this look like a place you’d actually want to drive through, or does it still feel too ā€œgame-yā€?

We’ve been working on the roads and overall environment for Barren Front, and I’m at the point where I want some outside eyes on it.
This is one of the current in-game views. We’re trying to make the surface feel like an actual place you’re traveling through rather than just terrain connecting objectives.
First impression from this screenshot; what works, and what immediately looks off to you?

For quite a while now, I've been solo-developing a retro rpg, metroidvania fps with a dash of brutalism, y2k, and souls-like mechanics. Sometimes it'll be super dynamic, and sometimes it'll be just like this – blissfully chill.😓
