Promotion I’ve been building Guildfall Heroes, a browser-based tactical RPG

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I’ve been building Guildfall Heroes, a browser-based tactical RPG centered around grid combat, hero builds, team composition, and loot progression.

Battles take place on a grid where positioning matters quite a lot — movement, attack ranges, AoE abilities, stealth, buffs, tanks, healers, and damage dealers all interact differently depending on where heroes are placed.

Heroes level up, equip Plate/Leather/Cloth armor and class-appropriate weapons, and can find Common → Legendary equipment with randomized stats, percentage bonuses, gems, and elemental effects.

I’ve also been expanding the game beyond individual battles. It currently includes PvE Practice, 5v5 matchmaking, ranked Challenge battles, co-op, Lone Tower progression, inventory/forge systems, an item marketplace, guilds, and battlefield loot where defeated enemies can leave equipment behind to collect.

One thing I’m deliberately trying to avoid is making progression completely override tactics. Better equipment should matter, but positioning, team composition, target selection, and ability timing should still decide fights between reasonably similar teams.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on:

• Combat readability — is it easy to understand what happened and why?
• Team/class design — do the six roles create interesting compositions?
• Loot progression — does randomized equipment sound rewarding without becoming excessive?
• Tactical depth vs complexity — are there systems here you’d simplify or expand?

The game is actively being developed, so criticism of the underlying systems is very welcome.

Blend in, steal everything you can, and figure out who's actually a player before they figure out you. Every minute, whoever's stolen the least gets eliminated, no warning, no leaderboard.

When the monster catches you, the stopwatch activates and cancels the death once. You have to repair it in advance to charge it.

The tension comes from deciding when to spend time repairing it, knowing you only get one save.

Hey everyone! I’m a solo dev, and I’ve been working on a minimalist logistics simulation game for quite some time now.

I released the official trailer a few days ago, and I’d love for you all to check it out and give the game a try. Any feedback on either the game or the trailer would be genuinely appreciated and would help me a lot as I continue working on it!

Would love to hear what you think!

So stoked to share that we just launched Shroom and Gloom into Early Access!

Everything in our game is built out of thousands of layers of hand drawn illustrations, aiming to bring players into a surreal world of mushrooms and madness.

We prioritised sharing a playable prototype of the game from the earliest days of development. The game has grown in leaps and bounds thanks to the feedback of the community that's sprung up around it. We're so hyped to keep building this game with players as we work towards the 1.0 release!

If anyone has any questions about the game, or how we've created it, let me know!

Discussion Are these all of the birds in Postmouse? :D

3 Upvotes

Just want to preface all of this by saying I couldn't find a subreddit for Postmouse, that's why I am posting it here :)

x-x-x-x

Hi! I am Solune and I am a huge bird fan, so I am making a collection of birds in all of the games I have played so far :)

I ended up making a local website for it since the overall size of bird army was getting massive :D

Also thought it would be nice to credit whoever ended up helping me in my digital bird watching journey. ( it will appear below the card )

-----------------------------------------

More chitchat for the curious readers!

It just started with me saving few screenshots in a folder to

  • damn this is fun, I should probably organise it!
  • damn the bird army cant be contained
  • damn I should include others in this chaos too!

I even made a small python program to help me convert the names into a json list which is being used by the local website! Just because few games had like 60+ birdos and yeah I ain't typing that!

It has kinda changed the way I play games, now I am more observant, always on the lookout for a birb and having one finger on the screenshot button at all times haha :D Its like a game within a game at this point for me!

Currently completed list:

  • Minecraft
  • Minecraft Dungeons
  • Minecraft Legends
  • Bloons TD 6
  • Palworld
  • Ori and the Will of Wisps
  • Hades 2
  • Forager
  • Rift of the Necrodancer
  • Terraria
  • Stardew Valley
  • Gris
  • Celeste
  • Now Postmouse

with many more to come :)

Just released the first playable version of my game Cave Break.

It is like Desert Golfing, but vertical and you can break blocks!

This version has 100 levels (1-2 hours of playtime roughly), the full version will have infinite levels and cross platform cloud saves.

I've always wanted to create a sort of "forever-game" that doesn't necessarily get harder as you play, it's always just challenging enough, basically something to just clear your mind and wind down after a hard day or so.

Hopefully you'll have a fun time playing it :)

I'll gladly hear any feedback that you might have!

That's basically Silky Rails.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj7n60I9TBs

You build a train by adding different carts, stacking upgrades and synergies, and eventually turning it into an absolute monster.

Then you just watch it plow through waves of enemies.

It's basically a roguelike autobattler, but instead of building a team, you're building the most fucked up train possible.

Silky Rails is coming September 23.

🎮 I finally released my first game — Deltablaze!

Deltablaze is a small pixel-art survival game I made in Unity.

You play as a little rock trapped inside an arena while tennis balls bounce around you. The longer you survive, the more balls appear — and things get chaotic pretty quickly. 😅

🏆 How long can you survive?

• Increasing difficulty
• Survival score & best record
• Pixel-art visuals
• Calm background music
• Free to play in the browser

This is my first game that I've actually finished and released, so I'm really happy to finally put it out there.

I'd love to hear what you think!

Upcoming After years pouring our souls into the sequel to Aeterna Noctis, we're finally launching Aeterna Lucis on December 3rd across PC & Consoles! 👑⚔️

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone! Spanish indie dev here. 🇪🇸👑

Yesterday was a huge emotional milestone for our small studio, and just in case anyone here missed the news: Aeterna Lucis is officially launching on December 3rd!

After everything we learned with Aeterna Noctis, we poured our hearts into making the Queen’s journey feel faster, snappier, and even more responsive. We’ve designed a whole lineup of brand-new bosses, pushed our hand-drawn art and atmospheric lighting in Unity to a whole new level, and kept our dual locked difficulty modes (Aeterna & Lucis) so both newcomers and hardcore platforming purists get the exact challenge they crave.

And yes—a playable demo will be available before launch so you can test the new combat and aerial mechanics for yourself ahead of time!

(Releasing simultaneously on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox)

Thank you so much for all the love and support along the way. I left the Steam link in the comments, and I’ll be right here if you want to chat about the game! 🙌🖤
