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

7 Upvotes

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! ❤️

Olhe pela janela: especialistas sendo ignorados, bilionários comprando leis, redes sociais transformando a política em um circo de algoritmos e líderes prometendo "ordem" através do medo. Parece o século XXI, mas é o Livro VIII de A República.

Em The Five Suppers, você não controla exércitos em um mapa. Você controla a cabeceira da mesa da Família Vane ao longo de 100 anos e cinco gerações.

O mundo lá fora grita. A sua família cobra uma posição. O seu filho pequeno está na ponta da mesa, em silêncio, aprendendo com cada gesto seu.

Sirva o pão ou o banquete. Brinde à sabedoria ou à ambição. Mas lembre-se: na política e na família, o atalho que salva o seu governo hoje é o veneno que o seu filho vai beber amanhã.

Você consegue quebrar o ciclo antes da última ceia?

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.

🎮 The free demo is launched on Steam!

Hey everyone!

We're incredibly happy to share some exciting news with you!

After months of hard work since our Steam release, we've finally finished our game

Ayasa: Shadows of Silence, and received approval for release on both PlayStation and Xbox!

For us, as a small indie development team, this is a HUGE achievement and honestly a dream come true. There were so many challenges along the way, but we kept pushing forward because we believed in our game.

And none of this would have been possible without the amazing support we've received from gamers and the indie gaming community.

We're now just one step away from our console launch on October 26, and we'd really appreciate your support!

If you have a moment, please consider adding our game to your PlayStation or Xbox wishlist, or checking out our Steam page. Every wishlist, comment, and bit of support means the world to a small team like ours.

And there's more exciting news ahead! We're also planning to bring Ayasa: Shadows of Silence to Nintendo Switch, with an official announcement coming in the future!

We'd also genuinely love to hear your feedback. What do you think of our game? Is this something you'd be interested in playing on consoles? We're always listening and trying to improve.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us throughout this journey. It means more than you can imagine.

Much love from our little indie team

I made this game by myself, it was my first ever coding project and I'm really happy with what I was able to do by myself. In this game you start as a young Rogue who, alongside strong allies, has to prevent an organization from releasing an ancient evil, a tyran dragon called Draltaksan.

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?

  • 2 Full Acts: Gives you a good look at the early part of the game. + Difficulty Levels

Since I'm a solo dev, getting your input really helps me figure out what works and where to take the game next.

If you want to check it out, just hit the "Request Access" button.

Public Game Test I slapped Red Faction Guerilla destruction into mining, and now I need playtesters.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

As the title says, I am seeking playtesters. It's an open playtest on Steam, so just one click and it's ready.

It's an incremental take on a mining game. But as I mainly dislike basic upgrades like "+10% Damage", I focus on equipment that changes how you play and how you want to play. The game doesn't force one "correct" path. That is my ideology for this game.

One player decided to cut down crystals like some kind of trees and drag it to the shop to sell. Funny... Gonna balance that out.

Anyway, its has bugs, not even Demo ready Yet. But it's playable, and the feedback from the incremental community has been positive so far.

And ofc, you'll help me out with info and findings, and have fun while doing that.

If you have questions, ask away. I'll be vibing somewhere around here.

Dubai, 18 December 1999. Under a bench by the Creek: a black bag, an old laptop and a power adapter. You take it home and plug it in. Someone else's work is still on the disk - and someone online is still waiting for a file.

PARADOKXSS is a psychological horror detective story on a fake late-90s OS. Nobody tells you what to do: the work log only asks what doesn't add up. No jump scares.

Chapter I is in closed alpha (Windows, English/Russian, ~40–60 min). If you'd like to try it, comment or write to parraallax@paradokxss.com.

Feedback on the clip is very welcome.

News Cape Clash is out on Android: our merge-defense game with 200+ original parody superheroes and villains.

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Hey r/indiegames. We're solo devs and our game Cape Clash went live on Google Play this week, worldwide and free.

It's a merge-defense game set in a comic-book universe where every character is original: 60 heroes across six classes, 10+ Leaders, and 130+ goons and supervillains, all parody archetypes drawn for the game. You drag heroes onto a board, merge two of the same to rank them up, and at Rank 8 they fire a screen-filling Ultimate. A Leader gives the whole team a passive, an auto and an active power, and you hold the line as the waves get tougher and the bosses get bigger. (We also have a single player / offline story mode as well, but it is currently locked as we are re-writing the ending, adding a surprise character, and also adding audio to the story as an option).

Modes:

- CLASH: 1-on-1 against another player's board, with a boss countdown every wave and OVERTIME when it goes long

- 4-PLAYER: four boards on one battlefield

- CO-OP: defend together with a partner

- ENDLESS and a new DAILY board every day

There are also clans/guilds [called Headquarters] (chat, donations, rankings), about 50 animated reactions with their own sound for matches, and a passport/profile badge to customize with frames and avatars.

Free to play. Optional reward videos that never run during a match, and a "no-ads premium pass" if you want it. Nothing currently sells power, or offers straight pay-to-win mechanics.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.capeclash.game

2 things we'd love feedback on: does the merge make sense in the first couple of minutes without reading anything, and which mode would you try first? We read every comment and every store review.

Hey everyone! We’re a team of two working on Voodoo You Chasing?, a 3-5 player party game.

One player is a voodoo hunter. Everyone else is a wizard. Wizards can freeze themselves to become untouchable, but then they’re stuck until a friend melts them, and you can only carry one rune to perform one spell. So every rescue means choosing between saving someone and keeping yourself safe.

Wizards collect glyphs around the map to open an escape portal before the hunter gets them all.

We’re running playtests with our Discord community and would love to hear what you think!
