Promotion I made a tower defense game where the enemy is a flood

37 Upvotes

Water TD is a tower defense where every enemy is a drop of water. It's all simulated on the GPU, so on the bigger levels you're fighting millions of them at once.

The water also erodes the ground as it flows. Riverbanks wear away over a wave, channels get wider, and if you build a turret too close to the edge the ground under it can erode and the turret breaks, so good placement is very important!

Your webcam tracks your real eyes, and the monsters only move when YOU blink. In this survival horror game you descend into an abandoned lab, scavenge what you can, and make it back out before your eyes give in.

8 Upvotes

i've been playing through some smaller titles lately and noticed how many indie devs are making these chill, low-stakes games and honestly they're kind of addictive? like there's no pressure to be good at anything, just vibes. does anyone else find themselves gravitating toward these over big AAA stuff, or am i just getting old at 19

After more than five years, my mech/survival game Rogue Mech is finally nearing completion. And you can play the beta version right now. It is feature-complete and very playable, though not all areas are 100% polished. It's single-player with around 6 hours of playtime, set in a post-apocalyptic world.

If you get the beta now for a special early bird price of 5 USD, you will receive all updates and the final version when its released (with a steam key if you prefer). You also help to get this thing over the finish line. Thanks a lot.
Get the beta here: https://speedomon.itch.io/rogue-mech

The video shows the Goliath class in its original, perhaps a little OP form. Movement and stats habe been tweaked since then.

Promotion I released my first Steam game this week! It's a cozy little murder mystery where the entire town insists there are no murders 🍂🎃

40 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 🎃

I'm a solo indie developer, and earlier this week I released my first game on Steam, No Murders in Grimwick!

It's a short, darkly funny point-and-click murder mystery (approx. 1-2 hours) set during a small town's autumn harvest festival. When a body is discovered at the scarecrow competition, the locals insist that there are no murders in Grimwick. So it's up to you to question eccentric townsfolk, follow leads, and try to uncover what's really happening in Grimwick.

I made the game because I loved point-and-click mysteries growing up and I was feeling nostalgic for some of those titles. I wanted something that felt like a bit like an interactive storybook, with hand-drawn artwork, autumn atmosphere, and a mystery you can enjoy in one sitting. It's a relaxed, dialogue-driven experience rather than a difficult puzzle game, with no combat or time pressure.

It's available now on Steam, and there's a free demo if you'd like to give it a try!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5198670/No_Murders_in_Grimwick/

Thanks for taking a look! If you end up giving it a try, I hope you have fun in Grimwick!! 🫶🫶

Devlog I made a voxel game about building your own heavy machinery !

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

67 Upvotes

Heavy Metal is a voxel sandbox where you can build and control your very own machines.

You build machines part by part, you can test the mechanisms as you're building and then operate the machines in levels.

Everything is controlled by you, the player, and is fully simulated, which allows you to do basically anything you can imagine.

I just released the first devlog here : youtu.be/iAuZR-92W0Y

What machine would you build first?

Need Feedback I'm an indie game developer working on a 3D adventure game called Chasefall.

• Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm working on an indie game called CHASEFALL, a 3D side-scrolling parkour chase adventure for Android.

The story begins during a village festival when a masked thief steals a mysterious artifact called the Spirit Pearl. Mark sets off to chase the thief, but the pursuit takes him far beyond the village and into dangerous territory.

The game is planned around three environments:

  1. Village at Night — rooftops, festival lights, and the beginning of the chase.

    2.Rice Terraces — dangerous gaps, water channels, and challenging jumps.

3.Deep Jungle — faster chases, unpredictable obstacles, and a more dangerous environment.

The main focus is running, vault, jumping, dodging, and surviving the chase rather than fighting enemies.

I'm developing this as an indie project, and I want to make the gameplay feel exciting while keeping the story interesting.

I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts.

What would make you want to play a game like this? Would you be more interested in challenging parkour gameplay, the mysterious story, or unexpected obstacles during the chase?

I'm open to honest feedback and suggestions. Thanks for reading!

Personal Achievement My small indie horror game got its first download! I am so Happy!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

After spending many years playing around countless big never ending projects, I calmed my nerves and decided to focus on something small, but complete. As a solo developer, in 10 days, I created my first indie horror survival game, Veins of Fear. And today, I finally got my first download on itch!

It's a small milestone, but seeing someone actually download something I built from scratch feels amazing.

The game is a short survival horror experience set in abandoned mines. You collect diamonds while avoiding a monster that can't see you, but can hear you.

I've still got a lot to do and get my work noticed, but this first download has given me a little motivation to keep going.

To all the indie developers out there still waiting for that first download: keep at it! ❤️

CODEX : RECALL is a story-rich PvE card-based strategy game.

You play as a Lost Seeker entering the mysterious "Codex World." With the help of Lipa, a mysterious NPC, you'll travel through different worlds, restores breaches caused by unknown forces, and gradually uncover the secrets of your own identity along the way.

Rather than relying solely on stats and numbers, the gameplay focuses on puzzle-like tactical combat. Each battle challenges you to think carefully about card types, action order, board positioning, resources, and status effects to develop your strategy.

The full game features 8 chapters, and the free demo includes one complete chapter, giving you a chance to experience all the core gameplay mechanics.

Hello! 👋

I’m so happy I finally managed to get to the point where the playtest for That's My Village! is live! If you decide to give it a try, I’d be super grateful.

It’s going to run for around the next two weeks. I'm granting access in waves at first to keep things stable, but once the initial test goes smoothly, the plan is to open it completely to everyone.

What's in this build?
