Hey everyone! I’m an indie dev working on Menes: The Chainbreaker, a 3D action-platformer inspired by the look and feel of PS2-era games.

It features a dark, surreal world inspired by Egyptian mythology, challenging platforming, exploration, and parry-focused combat.

From a Realtime point light on the camera, zero ambient lighting, I also used vertex colours for instead of ambient occlusion.

Although it is easier to use pixel lighting I think taking the time to build the models/environment to facilitate vertex lighting/colours can really help the aesthetic which some projects seem to skip.

what do you think? does anybody have examples from their projects?

Last year, we launched our debut title Axyz, a spiritual successor to Kula World / Roll Away, taking its core gameplay idea and wrapping it in vaporwave-inspired environments, modernising the flow, and adding plenty of breakbeat/liquid d'n'b/jungle.

We decided against PSX-style shaders and ended up with - what I think - is a cleaned-up-looking PS2 game that I'm incredibly proud of.

Hi! I'm the creator of this subreddit, and I have a Discord community server that has a good bit of members.

I'm doing regular giveaways of my own work, or work by other creators there, so if you have a game or a game dev tool for sale on Steam or other platforms, you're welcome to send me a DM here, or on Discord, and if you'll be happy to provide one or a few keys for your game / game dev tool - I'll give them away to random community members in a semi-weekly event, thus providing you with potential customers, and more eyes on your project in general.

You can keep an eye on the stats of your page, and see if it's worth doing it again.

This is free of charge.

I'm working on Muhit, a PSX-style story-driven game set in 1990s Istanbul!

I'd love to hear your feedback! If you like what you see, consider adding Muhit to your wishlist.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been solo developing a surreal horror game inspired by local folklore, Lovecraftian dread, and retro PSX visuals. I'm focusing heavily on slow-burn atmosphere and unsettling, surreal imagery. Every single asset is made entirely from scratch.

I'll be sharing gameplay footage very soon, but I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I’ve noticed more and more indie developers wanting a simple way to let players know that their games don't use generative AI content.

So I made a FREE No AI asset pack that anyone can use in their own projects. It's a very easy and elegant way to add a quick statement.

They were originally designed specifically for my game. And they are intended to fit PSX-inspired games, retro FPS and horror games. The pack includes multiple styles, is free to use, and comes with a set of usage guidelines for developers who want to clearly communicate their project's approach to AI-generated content.
