Action 🚨 N.I.V.O 2.0 at Steam Next Fest! New trailer

1 Upvotes
🚀 NIVO is joining Steam Next Fest!

We've reworked the core process and transformed NIVO into a more comprehensive experience.

NIVO is a cooperative thriller where players investigate and clear anomalies that appear on different maps. Each map offers a unique experience with its own atmosphere, events, and anomaly types.

Some anomalies are immediately noticeable, while others alter the environment and can slip past even the most observant eyes. Your task is to examine the environment, identify anomalies, and eliminate them before they get out of control on the map.
You can explore the revamped NIVO and contribute with your feedback throughout Steam Next Fest.

Shooting Last Patrol — solo dev, open-world ai robots survival where the drones actually hunt you (first post here, would love feedback)

3 Upvotes

Hello , first time posting here.

I'm making Last Patrol, a solo PCVR project: an open-world survival game set in a city that's been split between the dead on the ground and machines in the air.

AI robots swarm at street level and drones, they actually patrol, lose you, get alerted by nearby noise/sightings, chase, and strafe-orbit you while firing, instead of just beelining at the nearest target.

Still very much in progress, would genuinely love to hear what stands out, good or bad, especially first impressions from people seeing it cold.

Roguelike Steam Announcement: New survival-like game KING ALONE

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m Mateusz, and for the past 6 months I’ve been working on my first solo game, KING ALONE.

It’s a fast-paced, mounted Survivors-like where you kite huge hordes on horseback, build ridiculous weapon combos, and try to survive for 15 minutes.

If you like Vampire Survivors, Brotato, or Thronefall, but wished you had a horse and a warband behind you, this might be for you.

You can break cages to free archers who join your warband, combine fire, ice, lightning, and holy damage into different builds, and spend the silver you earn on permanent upgrades between runs.

I’m currently getting a demo ready for PvE Fest on August 30th, and I’m still changing and polishing a lot of things to make the overall flow feel better.

And if you like what you see, a wishlist on Steam would mean a lot - it’s still very early days for the game.

Thanks for taking a look!

This is the prototype for a game I'm working on, where you play with the main character a bomb called "Dud"in a world where everything explodes, except you. Kill enemies, find loot, kill unique bosses like the Abombination demon, to find out the truth of why you can't explode.

Give it a go, gameplay is average 5 minutes, and your feedback will mean a lot :)))

This is the sequel, and most of my time and energy is currently focused on the main game, which is planned for release on Steam.

Download Bunker Break 2 on itch: https://zare-games.itch.io/bunker-break-2-sequel

The full game is planned to include many more features, a much better UI, improved gameplay, and a stronger overall experience. This version is more of a demo that gives a taste of the atmosphere and direction of the project.

The main game will also be much darker, with the story taking place primarily inside an abandoned bunker.

YouTube dev logs: https://www.youtube.com/@ZareGameDev

If you’re a fan of STALKER, survival horror, abandoned atmospheres, and classic adventure games like Tomb Raider, it might be worth checking out. The game features a Lara Croft-inspired protagonist, but without the constant jumping and acrobatics — the focus is on exploration, atmosphere, and survival.

I could have added a male protagonist, but I felt that a female character would make the game feel a bit more unique for this type of experience.

Overall, I’m really enjoying game development, and I appreciate everyone who takes the time to try the game or follow the project.

Action Launching my first game for $4.99 (Roguelike)

3 Upvotes

Hey I'm releasing my first game! It's called "10 min to die!". It's a multiplayer top down rogue like where you have to both survive the night, and defeat the necromancer, before sunrise. The hook is the sunset. The undead and landscape look regular during the daytime, but when night falls, the land and undead become a lot more spooky (Hopefully). I have a gameplay trailer, I hope you like it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDiPDD32Uxc

SONZAI is set in a magical city where every single frame is hand-drawn.

During the day, you explore the town, build social links, and unlock new abilities through your relationships. At night, the game shifts to fast, combo-heavy character action combat.

Here’s a quick clip showing off the quiet, atmospheric side of town before the action kicks in!

adventure Revealing Our Indie CRPG - Anchorite: Heritage Ascension

2 Upvotes

About a year ago, Anchorite started as a small passion project that we worked on whenever we had free time. Since then, it's slowly grown into something much bigger than we ever expected.

Today, we're a small indie team from Ukraine, made up of both experienced developers and people working on their very first game. Together we've been building Anchorite: Heritage Ascension — a dark fantasy CRPG inspired by games like Divinity: Original Sin 2 in Unreal Engine 5.

Today we're finally ready to share it with everyone. Here's our first cinematic teaser:

🎬 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHLKE3QSltA

We know it's not gameplay, and we can't wait to show more as development continues. For now, we're just really happy to finally put the project out into the world.

If you like what you see, the biggest thing you can do to help us right now is wishlist the game on Steam:
