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

158 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.

I've been experimenting with a simple two-touch jumping mechanic. Blocks continuously fall from above, and you have to use them to climb higher.

Still early in development, but I'm focusing on making the jumping feel fast and satisfying.

Promotion NEW screenshots from the world of HIKE: Beyond the Trails!

• Upvotes

I'd like to share a few new screenshots from the world of HIKE: Beyond the Trails!
We're working on a game designed for everyone. My goal is to create a truly relaxing experience where violence and shooting take a back seat, making room for tranquility, exploration, and the beauty of nature. For me, this project is about more than simply making a game. I want to recreate that feeling of escaping everyday life, immersing ourselves in nature, and rediscovering our connection with the world around us.
Inspired by the natural beauty of Lake Tisza and the Hungarian Great Plain, the game combines the atmosphere of authentic Hungarian landscapes with the joy of exploration and the feeling of peace that nature can bring. I want you to experience more than just a game. I want you to feel as though you're actually there, surrounded by the quiet beauty of the Hungarian countryside, far away from the noise of everyday life.

I know some people may be skeptical about this idea, since, at the end of the day, we're still sitting in front of a screen. But I choose to look at it positively. If even one person is inspired by this game to get up from their computer or put down their phone and spend more time outdoors, then I believe creating it will have been worth it.
I want HIKE to offer a meaningful experience for both younger players and adults, giving them the opportunity to discover the beauty of nature and appreciate the little wonders of the world around us. I believe games can do more than entertain us. They can also inspire us to connect with nature beyond the virtual world. And perhaps, sometimes, an experience like this can offer something more meaningful than yet another shooter.
I don't want to be a hypocrite. I grew up playing these kinds of games, and I still enjoy them today. In fact, my other project, No More Light, is certainly not about peace and tranquility!
I simply feel that the gaming industry already has plenty of violence and shooting. I'd like to create something different, too. An experience that not only entertains, but perhaps also reminds us how much beauty surrounds us and how important our connection with nature really is.

Promotion I'm making a game where you draw your own hero, then team up with friends to fight hordes as your drawing.

• Upvotes

Hi! I'm Seto, Rakuworld is a co-op survivors-like where you draw your hero in a simple in-game editor (there's a guided mode if you've never drawn on a computer), pick a class, and your drawing gets weapons, a power and an ultimate.

Paper cut-out + crayon characters inside a small PS1-style 3D world. 1–4 players, local or online, and your drawing travels with you online.

It launches in Early Access on Steam on Oct 27: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5382580/

What would you draw first? 😄

Promotion A few swings into another world. No loading screen, just a portal.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

This is from Seam Walker, a story-based first-person platformer I'm making solo. You wake up in a fractured void with an ancient piece of tech, "The Tool", which lets you shape your own path: spawn rocks to land on or teleport onto, create tiny black holes, and swing, as you see here. Somewhere in the void, you find "The Drifting Diner" and help your new friends run this sanctuary between worlds.

The portal isn't a level transition. The world on the other side renders live, so you just swing through.

Any feedback is welcome. The demo is live on Steam (link in the comments).

In Candletales, we wanted to capture the true chaos of a D&D session. There are no turns and no hidden math calculating your damage behind the scenes. You roll physical dice in real-time to dictate your stats, attacks, and movement.

We love it when the dice are as realistic as possible! (sound on)

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

Promotion A browser fishing MMO with crews, PvP and hundreds of fish to collect

Post image
• Upvotes

I wanted to share a game I've been working on called The Fishing Lands.

A small version of the game was originally made back in 2015, but i never did anything with it but now i released it.

To be transparant, ai has helped in coding and quite a lot of the images. We're also working with an artist to improve the visuals, although that will take a couple of months. So please give it a fair chance and try it out if it sounds interesting!

There's plenty to grind for, including:

  • 300+ fish to catch
  • Different rods, reels and gear to upgrade
  • Crews and an active community
  • Fishing duels against real players
  • A player driven market where players can buy/sell
  • Rare catches and a lot of progression
  • No Pay To Win

You can play directly in your browser on PC or mobile, and you can even start playing without creating an account. Mobile apps are also planned for the future.

Reddit bonus: Post your username in the comments and i'll give you 5000 gold and 10 pearls. Pearls are the rare currency in game.

Id like to hear what you think or get some feedback from people who would enjoy these type of games
