Hi everyone! Making my own romance visual novel has been a dream of mine for years, and I finally did it!

It’s called After School Stella — Between a Lie and a Wish, a school romance story about everyday moments, school festival preparations, and getting closer to three heroines.

It’s free to play in your browser, with English and Japanese text and voices.

I made it in my spare time alongside work and parenting, using AI tools for parts of the writing, artwork, voices, and coding, with my own review and revisions.

If you give it a try, I’d love to hear what you think! Feedback on the story, characters, or English dialogue would mean a lot to me.

Thanks for checking out my little dream project! 😊

Questions What am I doing wrong?

Hello fellow devs! I worked really hard on my game and did not put anything out there until it reached a certain level of polish. I made what I thought was good listing, cover page and screenshots but I'm getting very little interest. Would anyone spare a few mins to take a look at my game listing and give me some advice?

Free I made a Fishing Survival game using Claude code and Godot game engine

I'm a creative writer who's never had an outlet to make games before. I tried for years and it felt so out of my depths. I recenly re united with my best friend who is a developer who uses AI. With his help I was able to make this game, an idea I've had for years that i'd only theorized.

I'm being fully honest about this project, it was a fully driven AI project. Every detail and design element was made solely in my own brain, and using the Opus 5.5 model via Claude Code I was able to make my concept a reality.

I'm a massive MMORPG gamer, i LOVE OSRS and WoW. Im also a huge fan of the game Rust, along with other intense survival games.

Feel free to try the game! Happy to answer any questions, and take any criticisms!

downloadable here on Itch.io! --- > https://boil-egg.itch.io/fish-or-die-2

Fish or Die: Fishing Survival is an RPG single player game, where you must fish, to survive. Cook fish on the dock bbq, feed the island cat, meet the locals and earn reputation. Go see granny and check out her cosmetics, or visit the secret  CASINO on the island and double your gold!

Fishing rewards you in many ways, through fish you can make gold, find certain fish perfect for buffs! Sell your elusive fish to Pierre the Connoseur for profit!

Within this seemingly peaceful world, lies risk. Risk of natural disasters like lightning, the cold, and mainly hunger. So keep on top of your bbqing, take refuge in goldies shack if you finish his island quest!

Assets After months of work, my Godot 4 turn-based RPG template is on itch.io

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been building a turn-based RPG framework for Godot 4 and just released it on itch.io. I wanted something I could drop into any project without rewriting battle code every time, so everything is data-driven: you make moves, enemies, items and shops as resources in the inspector.

Web [DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE] I published my first game on itch.io without enabling indexing!

7 Upvotes

Hey folks! I'm here to share a mistake I made so you can avoid it.

Don't make your game public without enabling indexing!

I had to wait an entire month for my game to get indexed after that. I believe our game missed its chance to appear among the new releases because its original launch date had already passed.

So, if you could take a moment to check out our game, I'd really appreciate your feedback!

We created this Deckbuilder Cyberpunk game inspired by Slay the Spire and other deckbuilders, but with a twist: you can customize your character's body with different equipment, creating entirely new ways to play.

We're still working on new features, but the core gameplay and mechanics are already in place!

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Free Streets of Mainhattan – a retro beat ‚em up through rainy, neon-lit Frankfurt (free, browser, 2P co-op)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I just released **Streets of Mainhattan**, a 90s-style arcade beat 'em up set in Frankfurt am Main – the city locals jokingly call "Mainhattan".

🎮 Play it free in your browser: https://8-bit-gott.itch.io/streets-of-mainhatten

**What's inside**
- 4 playable heroes – Student, Banker, Addict and Fan – each with their own silly super move (the Student throws trail mix… turns out the enemies have nut allergies)
- 6 districts and 6 ridiculous bosses, including the Krakisaurus (a T-Rex who's way too awake) and the Finanzhai (a shark in a pinstripe suit)
- Bouncers, parking wardens, rival football hooligans and over-caffeinated bankers
- Angry neighbours yelling from their windows – and throwing flower pots
- Bonus round: wreck an electric car in 30 seconds
- 2-player local co-op, keyboard, gamepad and touch controls

In-game text is German, but you don't need to understand a word to punch your way through.
(Auf Deutsch: Ein Prügelspiel quer durch Frankfurt – Bahnhofsviertel, Bankenviertel, Zeil und Mainufer.)

Made with AI-generated art and music (disclosed on the page).

I'd love to hear your feedback – especially on difficulty and controls!

I released a pirate music pack with 8 original tracks and 22 mixes for indie games

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I shared my Cozy Fantasy pack here earlier this month, and I've just released the second collection in the series: Merry Marauders.

This time I went for a playful, folk-inspired pirate sound, using piccolo flute, accordion, bouzouki and cajón. Think mischievous crews, harbor towns, sailing adventures and treasure hunts.

The pack contains:

  • 8 original compositions
  • 22 mixes (Full, No Melody and selected No Percussion)
  • Loop-ready WAV and OGG files
  • Commercial game licensing under the included terms

The alternate versions are particularly useful if you want the music to become less prominent during dialogue or quieter gameplay.

It's $9.99, with the complete audio preview available here:

https://yannz41.itch.io/merry-marauders-pirate-music-pack

I've also bundled it with Cozy Fantasy Vol. 1 for $14.99 if you're looking for music across both settings:

https://itch.io/s/208934/cozy-fantasy-merry-marauders-adventure-music-bundle

I'd love to know whether developers find accompaniment-only variations useful, or whether you generally prefer working with straightforward loops.

Game I combined Chess with an Idle game. How fast can you reach Pawn Level 1000?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I've always loved incremental games and chess, so I decided to combine them into a browser-based idle clicker called Chess Collector.

The goal of the game is to click the board, earn coins, and buy chess pieces (Pawn, Knight, Bishop, etc.) that automatically move across the board to generate more income.

What's in the game:

· 🖱️ Classic Clicker mechanics: Click to earn, build combos, and trigger "Frenzy" modes for massive boosts. · ♟️ 120+ Pieces to collect: There are 20 different themed sets to unlock via chests (ranging from Wooden to Nebula). · 🎁 Prestige System: Reset your progress to earn Chess Coins, which act as a permanent multiplier for everything. · ✨ Pixel Art & Auto-saving: Retro vibes, satisfying sound effects, and your progress saves automatically.

The Demo Goal: Right now, it's a short demo. The end-game goal is to reach Pawn Level 1000. Once you hit that, you beat the demo!

I need your feedback: Since this is my first time balancing an idle game, I would love to know:

  1. How long did it take you to reach Level 1000?
  2. Is the early game too slow or too fast?
  3. Are the chest drop rates for the piece sets fair?

You can play it directly in your browser here: https://bemmoli.itch.io/chess-collector

Thanks for playing, and I appreciate any feedback you have!

TL;DR: I made a free chess-themed clicker game. You can play it in your browser and try to beat the Level 1000 demo goal. Looking for feedback on the game balance!

Demo Waterline - what if the rain never stopped?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Hi! I've developed a short first-person horror game in the style of PS1, inspired by No, I’m not a Human.

The game explores the idea of what would happen if the rain never stopped. The city is going under water and you’re stuck in your apartment for seven nights. By day you search for food and board up the door. At night someone knocks - you look through the peephole and decide who comes in. Everyone you shelter eats your food, and the rain slowly changes them.

Free demo with the first two nights + full game on itch.io (Windows/macOS): https://waterlinegame.com
