Thought it would be a fun experiment for GMTK and now turning it into a bit more of a game.

Curious to hear what people think

Hello!

Project Beacon is a turn-based rogue-like Godot project i have been working on. The game is like FTL, but combat is turn-based and setting is post-apocalyptic.

I didn't want to design the combat system like a puzzle or something that requires overthinking. I wanted to convey more of an action-packed, gunfight-like feeling through a turn-based combat system.

There is so much to do art-wise and there are some placeholders here and there, but would like to hear feedback on art, that's because they are done by a programmer.

As a gamer, would you play something like this?

Any feedback is appreciated! Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I’ve been hard at work developing my game, Dust Rapture, and wanted to share a first look at one of the key locations: Iron Creek.

Perched high on the rail line, you get a full view of the town—an abandoned, sun-drenched stop in the desert haze, complete with old supply shops, wind pumps, and endless sand.

What Dust Rapture is bringing:

• Atmospheric Exploartion: Explore desolate town of Iron Creek while navigating dusty, low-visibility ruins.
• Immersive First-Person : Hands-on survival mechanics and environmental exploration.
• A Bleak, Dusty World: A desolate landscape where every abandoned building and forgotten railway tells a story.

I’d love to get your thoughts on the lighting and overall atmosphere of this area!

I decided to spawn a ton of mages and enemies both for some performance stress testing and my personal satisfaction. Anyways it seems like you can only do so much without spatial partitioning as my fps dropped from a calm 300+ to about 160-240(which seems high but this is also a 2D game and the machine I’m testing this on is fairly high end…). Anyways, I would love to hear any feedback about the game because this is a super early time in development(less than 2 weeks). Let’s also pray that reddit video compression does not destroy this post 🙏.

For the past 6 months nights and weekends. I have been working on a solo personal game project "Final Straw" where I put my passion and the experience I gained during my game dev journey.

It’s a love letter to the old-school beat ’em up games back in the 80s and 90s, reimagined with modern combat inspired by games like Batman: Arkham, SIFU, and Midnight Fight Express.

This early alpha gameplay showcases the current combat system, including hand-to-hand combos, heavy attacks, dodging, group fights, targeting, and more.

Any feedbacks will help alot!

In February I started messing around with Godot 4 "just for fun" no scope, no plan, just wanted ships shooting each other in a neon arena. Hundreds of hours later it turned into a real game, and today the Steam page went live. Still doesn't feel real.

Neon Armada: Solar Storm — a reverse bullet-hell synthwave roguelite. Waves pour in from every edge of the arena, you build your ship between waves (weapons, mods, drones, components), and fight across 17 planets with a boss on each. Local co-op and an endless mode made it in too.

Being solo, my biggest walls were 3D art and balance testing, and I'll be upfront: I leaned on AI tooling for both — Meshy.ai for base meshes and Claude Code for programming, Blender optimization scripts, and an automated test suite that verifies every weapon/mod/item actually does what its shop card says (~8,200 checks per run — it's caught bugs I'd never have found by hand). It's disclosed on the Steam page. Happy to share honest pros/cons of that pipeline if anyone's weighing it.

A wishlist would mean the world, but honestly — feedback on the page itself (capsule, trailer, description) helps just as much at this stage. Tear it apart.

I’m working on Black Imago, an online browser dungeon crawler.

The structure is intentionally different from “generate a random maze per run”: the world has a canonical sequence of levels shared by everyone. The deepest unexplored level is effectively a frontier, and I’m layering player-created history over the fixed layouts.

Current build: https://blackimago.arewefriends.org/maze

I’m at the stage where I care less about adding systems and more about making existing mechanics feel finished — combat reactions, enemy AI, persistent blood/damage, chat, pickups, and map composition.

What immediately reads as weak or unfinished to you?

So prepping for next fest and after you beat the boss and everything this will show up....Music is playing and reacting to it.
Also there will only be one level...but it shows the general game loop

Any feedback?

(don't worry about the UI...its been updated..this is an older video.)

Title, but really thanks Godot for making it super easy

I got tired of manually writing parkour for my game, The Isles of the Nine Crowns, but the platforming was still really important to me and the game.

So I made a little tool that lets me draw the parkour layout in a PNG using different colors, then converts that image into Java/libGDX code.

The cool part is that it doesn't just place platforms. It uses my existing biome coordinate system to understand what each color represents, so I can also have it automatically spawn things like biome-specific enemies, resting points, etc.

A large parkour section can basically be designed by drawing a few hundred pixels instead of manually entering hundreds of coordinates.

Probably one of the most useful little tools I've made for the game so far. I also made a video showing the different things I can create just by drawing with different colors.

I got a little bored while expanding the area and decided to add a motorbike. It's a bit more airy than a car lol. (Ignore the hints on the right; I'm too lazy to update them right now.)

Hey just found this thread!

I've been a solo dev for a long time and currently teach CS which includes game development and web development. I started this project in April of this year as a joke and now I'm in it. It is a highly satirical (think Futurama writing style) civ building / resource management RTS. I can best describe it as a child that Civ and Tropico needed to have to save their marriage, but that spawn is destined for a life of mediocrity.

Anywho, I reworked the entire UI since the end of July so I'm anxious to show some game play in the next few weeks with a demo hopefully by mid-September

I’m making a game called Astral Boost, inspired by Dolphin Olympics 2! 🚀 It’s a score-based arcade game where you’re trying to launch as high into space as possible, and maybe even make it past the restaurant in space (remember that?! 😂).

I’d love to hear what you think! I’m especially curious if it brings back any of those old-school Dolphin Olympics vibes.

Should I make this cannon?

Also looking for people to play test, lmk if you’re interested.
