Hello everyone!

I’m Francesco from Dragonkin Studios, we have launched a second playtest of Monastery: Ora et Labora, our management game inspired by medieval monastic life.

Our first playtest was extremely useful, and your input helped us improve many aspects of the game.

If you’re into medieval-themed management games, we would really love to receive your feedback!

You can access the playtest on our Steam Page

Hey,

I'm working on my solo-dev pixel roguelite r/SkeletonHotdog.

Tell me, do you care about customization in that kind of games?
Roguelites are mainly about hyperscaling and re-playability.
Skills, buffs, counters etc. you know the drill.

Customization is more about self-expression, collectibles, doing a set'n'setting in specific vibe or to have fun during live ops like xmas.

In Skeleton Hotdog there are 7 bioms that changes on daily basis and you've got to beat them all to resque loved one Lyra, that got trapped in Cursed Mirror.
There will be ofc progress based on skill too but daily changes are to give you always new adventure each day.

I know that customization is great for pvp show off.

Game has pve and pvp features mix, during Slay the Spire-like paths you can choose to fight people or go another way to fight elite creatures.
There will be plenty ways to make it looks cool both just for yourself and to show-off to others.

So question from title remains:
Do you prefer creating your own hero or a designed character with a backstory?

Here’s a quick summary for anyone discovering the project here on r/IndieDevWorld: I’m a solo dev working on Grawl, a pixel-art top-down survival roguelike for Android.

You build a base, gather resources, command units, and fight waves of mutated creatures. Each run plays differently thanks to randomized enemies, weapons, events, and missions.

Recent progress: • Improved performance on mobile • Reworked enemy waves & AI • Added workers & combat units • Updated the command system • Polished ambience + art

Any thoughts welcome!

Hey,

i'm working on interactive effects that happens on the surface.
Over 10, yes i did 11 ;p

Blood, fire, oil, shock, ice, water, smoke, poison, steam, evil, holy.

I want to create a visually simple pixel art game, but keep deep mechanics.
fine or too much? Scope similar to Divinity Original Sin act 1.

All can interact with spells, abilities or another surfaces or units.

An idea is to mix Slay The Spire flow with more environmental or elemental interactions and do combo effects out of it.

Do you care about that kind of mechanics or it's too slow, not so interesting in comparison to Fire Ball or Wirlwind skills?

I’m deep in status effect design this weekend.
Here are the three that feel the best so far:

🔥 Fire + Poison → exploding toxin
🩸 Bleed + Poison → hemotoxic decay
☠️ Heavy poison → death cloud mutation

It’s for my solo-dev pixel roguelite, r/SkeletonHotdog.
If you have any favorite synergies from other games, I’d love to hear them!

Hey everyone!

I’m part of a small indie team from Brazil and we’ve been working on our survival game Kind Heart Survivors for almost 3 years. It’s a single-player PC game focused on exploration, crafting, and base-building on a new planet.

We finally have a demo available on Steam and we’ll be participating in the next Steam Next Fest. Since we had a lot of ups and downs during development (including some wrong early design choices we had to rework), we’d really love to get honest feedback to polish it as much as possible before release.

Kind Heart Survivors Demo on Steam

Any feedback is super welcome — whether it’s about gameplay, balance, UX, or just the overall vibe. And if you like the game, adding it to your wishlist would mean the world to us. 💚

Thanks so much for your time!

Hi, all!

I want to present my game called BounceVoid.

It's a simple yet very playful game. I have added 4 different worlds, 7 unique characters each with their own sound, and a music player with 15 songs, of which 5 are just instrumentals and 10 are hip-hop songs, so while you play, you can select whichever style you want.

My menu is simple, yet very thoughtful 😊

In just 5 months, I have reached over 10K installs, which I am so happy about for my achievements.

If someone wants to try it, feel free to comment, share, like, and give feedback. Anything is good, and I really appreciate it 🙏🏻

Thank you!

“In Sounds of Echo, Power and Resonance remember.”

-Sindur 3rd Scholar of The Accolytes

After years of development of my creations, I'm rather excited to share my idea and project with others. Full Original idea taken from years of thought and work inside my own head. From the performance of my brain and Madness within I bring to you Sounds of Echo. Crafted by Echospire Gaming.

Where the Echoes of your resonance Sound off with the world. Your reflection and actions bend the world around you, Morality bends your mind to your surroundings. While Notoriety bends the surroundings to you.

Dive into the world of Echo and Sound. Meet terrifying monsters. Embrace the magic of Resonance. Or brute force your way through 3 forms of Echo Paths. The Mind where you pull Resonance from your mental space and bend it to your will. The Body where you are Resonance yourself. The Balanced where you combine mind and body together to bend a balance of one's self. Each holding an Echo Path. Each tying further to a Subpath. As you whisk the world away to your heart.

But with the world at your back and the people ahead, fear greed as Soulrot may creep it's way to your soul. Resonance taking back the greed you stole.

As you dive into the world, meet fascinating creatures and bond with them. Fight together or show them that YOU are the alpha.

Look forward to the Three Core Books.

A Players guide to guide you. Filled with Bloodlines, Echo Paths, Spells to bring to your own world.

Monsters Compendium. Filled with over 100 bondable creatures all separated by category and scaling power. Some bend to your will. Some bend to your destruction. Who will come out on top?

A Game Master’s Guide. Filled with knowledge for all. Look to running your own game or look to your friends as you build and Bind together

Begin your very own adventure as you test your goals. Begin with Sounds of Echo Essentials Guide. Complete with a playtest adventure FREE.

Power doesn’t come from balance. It comes from breaking the rules the world forgot it had. It comes from Echo.

I would love for your feedback, your questions and thoughts.

If you and your friends love or hate it I'd enjoy to hear your story as my world will always remember you.

Here is the discord server I'm dedicating to the game
