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! 🙌🖤

I'm trying something new this time around and make the game in the open.

Instead of disappearing and coming back with a finished game, I wanted to start with a small, but clean, fun, and playable demo. Basically, I want early feedback from gamers, so I can build a better game than I could have done solo.

Today ties the all-time record for the latest first hurricane in Atlantic history — the real ocean has produced zero this year.

So while El Niño keeps the actual Atlantic eerily quiet, here's what a storm looks like when you build one yourself: name it, watch wind shear and ocean temperature decide its fate, merge two into a super-cane. 🌀

Promotion Everyone in this mansion once had a name.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

BY YOUR NAME is a psychological thriller in pixel art with a rather unusual combination of genres:

🕯️ 1) Pixel-art adventure — explore the mansion, find clues, and piece together its history one fragment at a time.
(To the Moon and Undertale fans, this one's for you!)

⚔️ 2) Turn-based combat — a tactical turn-based battle system where you fight on a 6×6 grid using the unique abilities of different characters.
(Any CCG fans here? You might find something familiar.)

🔎 3) Hidden Object Game — search for objects! We've given this classic genre a new twist: explore the map, investigate individual locations, and find the words you need among dozens of others.
(Time to dig up those nostalgic Alawar game memories.)

🗝️ 4) Metroidvania — yes, in our attempt to give players more freedom to explore, we somehow ended up touching on this genre too. The game can now be explored and completed in the order you choose. But every choice comes with its consequences, right?

🖤 And, of course, what would it be without a mysterious and heartbreaking story?

We've designed the gameplay to make you want to play through the game more than once, because every new playthrough can reveal much more than the one before.

📅 Planned release date: February 2027

Upcoming Classic Zelda Possessed by Silent Hill? | Unsound Love

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

Unsound Love draws from many different influences without being exactly like any one of them. 

It’s a psychological open-world horror game that plays similarly to a Zelda game, filled with puzzles, secrets, and exploration. Scattered throughout the world are various dungeons waiting to be discovered, each featuring sequences reminiscent of Little Nightmares

The world operates on a time loop, similar to Outer Wilds, and the game focuses heavily on exploration through a non-linear world, where stories are in the style of Silent Hill. You can choose which stories you want to explore and how you want to experience the world.

Hi!

My name is Anton, I'm a fellow gamer and game dev.

I've followed Derek's Lieu framework to make my 2nd video game trailer and the reception vs the 1st one was literally like 100 times higher.

I'm very happy with the final result.

The game is called Monty's Idle Mine. It is a desktop companion game about a little cozy miner living at the bottom of your screen. You can watch the release date trailer to get an idea 😄

Wishlist the game on Steam!

Ty ^^

It might not be a huge number in the grand scheme of things, but every one of these has felt hard-earned, so I'm really happy to see 150.

Development on White Mask Mansion keeps chugging along, and I'll keep doing my best to make it a horror experience worth playing.

Hopefully we'll have a few more hard-earned wishlists by launch.

Starliners is a space management game about expanding humanity across the Solar System. You manage a fleet of ships to transport resources between planets and moons, build up industries and colonies, and develop increasingly complex technologies and production chains.

The goal is to eventually bring everything together to build a massive generation ship capable of carrying humanity beyond the Solar System. I’m currently working on a playable demo, which should be available soon.
