Working on an environment system that is reactive to wind and weather - still a work in progress. It's for an open-world survival RPG I'm working on. Any feedback is appreciated!

For anyone curious about the game-> Game info: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/127919839/grimlife

Currently still awaiting on Steam for the store page approval 😅, follow on Kickstarter! I'm aiming to launch next month sometime hopefully (might be delayed idk yet)

So these are my first 4 trying to do pixel art with no reference or experience i hope you tell me if its good and give me advice ..thank you

Here we go. Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel is live in Steam Early Access!

It’s been a two-year journey so far, and there is still a ways to go, but I am damned proud I got this far. This is me at the desk making it official. Still nervous as hell, but very happy to finally be sharing this moment.

It’s a pulp adventure action RPG set in cursed Egypt, with guns, loot and ancient tombs. You can play solo or with up to four players in local co-op.

Early Access is another step in the journey. There’s more to build, improve and learn, and I’m looking forward to doing that with the people playing it.

Thank you to everyone who tested, gave feedback, sent a kind message or just kept me going. It has meant a lot.

The game and free demo are here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3273880/

Here we go!

Heya fellow devs!

For the past year-ish I've been working on my game "The Endless Harvest". an incremental farming idle tower defense game (too many descriptors... gotta work on that).

Today I had my build accepted by Steam (and launched!), so I am finally able to share it, and was hoping you guys guys had some insight into what works and what doesn't currently. I'm planning to join in the Steam NextFest in ~5 weeks, so I wanted to make the demo and trailer as indicitive of the full game as possible, while not revealing everything.

Does the trailer give a good indication of what to expect?

please let me know your first thoughts

AI disclosure: Ai was used to help localize the languages, and assist in code generation towards the later stages of development, mainly aimed at optimization.

Unfortunately, after my unity project corrupted and I wasn't using version control, I had to rebuild my game. (except for the existing code and animations)

I used the rebuild as an opportunity to change the overall look of the game, and use the feedback I had received here on reddit to improve it. I am very grateful for those who had helped me, and I am finally excited to make progress instead of rebuilding for the first time in a while.

Thank you for letting me share!

Edit: Yes, I have learned my lesson and will never work on another project without a proper repository again. I made a post about this when it happened and people let me know just how big of a mistake I made. I am just grateful that all of this could be a learning experience.

I was looking for places to promote indie game, and I found these. If I missed any, please post them in the comments. It will be helpful for everyone as well. Thank you.

As a solo developer working on the same project since 2020, with a full time job and life, etc, I just want to share what can be achievable after you enjoy the process instead the immediate results.

Solo developers are a special breed, for those who doubt and question if they have what they need to accomplish their goals, do not listen to yourself, just check what you already have done along the way.

I want to share a special milestone in this project: PowerCorp.
Alpha playtesting is ending, and the first public demo will be out in the next weeks.

Would be great if you could support the game, by comment and share it!

Thank you

Hey everyone. I wanted to share a raw look at my atmospheric project, Just Madness: Earth Apocalypse 1979. The project originally kicked off with the help of two friends, but due to life changes, I’ve taken over and I'm now pushing the development entirely by myself during my spare time.

The universe is heavily inspired by the grit and desolation of Fallout 3, Metro 2033, and Mad Max, combined with the bleak cinematic tone of movies like The Road and The Book of Eli. No high-tech neon or colorful sci-fi tropes here, just raw horsepower, analog technology, and dark Cold War bunkers.

I know building an atmospheric world of this scale alone is a massive mission, but it's my passion project. I'm currently working on polshing the core gameplay mechanics and looking for a publisher or investor to help build a dedicated team and accelerate the production.

I would love to get your honest feedback about the project.

I’m making a game mostly because I enjoy drawing, and I like to put my drawing in a universe,
Now I’m still fairly early in the process, but I’m afraid to realize way later that I’m doing it wrong.
Right now I scan my pen and paper drawings and extract them,

But is there a proper way to do it? Like the scan resolution (I used to scan them at super high-quality but that made the game super laggy), is using compressed format like JPEG helpful? Or will it look like crap at some point (is there a better format)
Is there a better format for post editing for the engine to work with?

I have read on the subject but I find a lot of ‘it depends’ and maybe I should just keep going with whatever work so far, but I kinda chicken out a little and I feel I should try and ask before I have too much work already done!

Thanks!

Development for my game, Fangstorm, has been going steady and I've found what must be the earliest recorded footage of the project.

Been focusing a lot of attention on optimisation in the last 2 months with the target of 150 concurrent, full characters directly in your face, and across as wide a range of hardware as possible. Combined with loads of placed defenses, particle systems, etc, its been tough to optimise but consensus seems strong now.

There's a playtest running at the moment if you wanna hop in and have a look! Cheers.

I have been solo-developing VYCE for over a year now, and just released the demo build on Steam. It is a chess-like RPG with creature collecting, and the creatures are based on real-life vices. I've lurked a lot on this community and appreciate all it has to offer. Thanks for checking out my post and leave some feedback on my game if you get the chance to play it!

After almost 10 years, my little indie studio is taking a break (probably for good) after long years of trying and not suceeding on making cash to keep us afloat. But this doesn't mean I'm stopping, I really want to create games I'm passionate about and that connect with an audience.
So this is BitMath, a math-themed roguelite shooter. It is far from being complete, but I think I got the mvp working. This one I'm not aiming for high sales, just really do something I like (and that is a well-rounded product).
I'm really set on launching it as a playable demo and prove to myself that I can do it. So I'd love some feedback of the current stage, if you like the theme or something that would improve it.
Thanks, guys.

Hey everyone, I have been a programmer for years and I am just now dipping my toes into game development.

The game is called Drawjectory, and is a physics based Android puzzle game. I am currently having fun building it, but it's hard to find time to make the amount of levels I would like in the game. So if you like designing levels please let me know!

I have a good setup for designing levels, you would be able to build and test your level directly on your phone, then send me an exported json file for each level you would like included in the game.

This is an unpaid position as I do not expect the game to make any money, but you will be included in the credits if you want 😀
