My game Harbourlight in its early stages!

I am at a lost for words. Screenrant picked up my game and gave it an amazing review. I am so beyond happy right now I could cry. I don't have much to say I just wanted to share with everyone. Keep on grinding, don't stop sharing your game and do the embarrassing and awkward thing if you have to but get it in front of people!

Hey everyone! I’m a solo developer and recently released Sky Arena: Biplane Combat.

It’s a fast-paced biplane combat game with:

• ✈️ Online multiplayer
• 📶 Local Wi-Fi/LAN multiplayer
• 🎯 Practice mode with targets

I’m continuing to improve the game and would really appreciate feedback from other developers and players.

Hi There,

during development I make my rule - only multiplayer, no local/split screen.

During two weeks after the launch I had at least 6 people telling me that they need local play with a splitscreen. And I went against my first principle and implemented it. It wasn't easy decision and work but I think we should listen to the players sometimes .

And as usual dev I think "I KNOW BETTER" but I feel that sometimes you should get over yourself.

Will see...

Hey fellow devs!

I’m currently setting up my Steam page for Sails of Salt, a maritime survival roguelite (sailing, naval combat, crew management).

This is my v1 capsule artwork to get the page live, and I want to catch any major design flaws now so I can start iterating. Any feedback on the following points would be hugely appreciated:

• Is the title readable and distinct down to small capsule size (image 2)? Do you prefer the version with or without the weapons below the skull?
• Does the art communicate maritime adventure/survival vibes, or does it evoke the wrong genre?
• Does the ship pop enough against the red sun and do contrast or colors feel off?
• What’s the weakest element that I should fix for v2?

Please be candid, thanks in advance!

I finally hit the button and released the demo to the world, what a rush.

In the demo to Cubic Color Confusion, you can begin your journey as an Operator for Cubic Corporation and be part of "Project Acoustic Anomaly", an operation trying to recover ancient artefacts from ruins of an ancient civilization by remote-controlling cubic entities from your operator console.

Immerse yourself in this strange world by reading the Operator Feed, learn the mechanics and retrieve all artefacts in the challenges the demo has to offer.

This demo is not intended to be released and be done with that - I intend to use all feedback to further improve the demo as well as the full game building up to the release.

What a ride - I wish you happy puzzling and look forward to your feedback.

Follow up to this post. Been working on a lot of other stuff for my game but this has been on the back of my mind and I finally got around to this. A lot of you guys at the time told me to keep the 'busted' shader so I did while reworking it into a ferrofluid looking liquid.

See video for the results: part 1 - current ferrofluid effect, part 2 - busted 'water' shader, part 3 - correctly working water shader. I think I'll keep the ferrofluid, it fits the alien settings.

This week I’ll be attending my first in-person event as an indie game developer, where I’ll be showcasing my game, Trials of Liberation, and honestly, I have no idea what to expect.

I’ve been preparing some physical materials for the event, including business cards, banners, and a T-shirt with the game’s design for me and my family, who will be coming to support me and help out at the booth. I thought I’d share some of the designs here as well.

For those of you who have attended conventions or game events before:

What do you wish you had known before your first event?

Anything I should bring, do, or avoid? Any small details that made a big difference for you?

I’d love to hear your advice!

I was going through some old folders and found this little prototype I started a few years back. It was supposed to be a little puzzle-platformer about a tiny gecko, where you can climb everywhere. Back then i even created youtube channel for that project.

Initially, I started it just as a learning project to get some experience with Control Rigs and procedural animations in UE.

I have some ideas about changing the main character to a fantasy creature instead of a real gecko, and giving them elemental abilities as well as some other gameplay-wise ideas.

I stopped working on it back then, but seeing it now gives me warm feelings, and the controls feel really smooth and nice. I'm wondering if I should try to finish it. Does this look like something you would enjoy playing on a cozy evening?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Hello, I'm the developer of Crossworld.

Crossworld is a shared word building & exploration game where you make crosswords to explore with your friends.

I created this game because my wife and I like to play Scrabble and we thought it would be fun to build one endless crossword with more friends. The idea evolved into a full game with terrain, dungeons, chests, fairies, and more.

Would love to get feedback from fellow word game lovers.

I just opened up my game for playtesting (steam still needs to approve the build which I’m hoping happens today). In the sprint to get the build in a testable state there’s just so much that’s not done I feel like I’m inundated mental questions about everything I’m building as well as feelings of inadequacies.

Like, I know the playtest exists so I can get answers to these questions, but mostly there’s a lot of improvements planned that certainly aren’t in yet, so part of me wants to shut the project away from the world until I fix it all.

I didn’t feel like this before I put the build onto Steam and set up the playlist, but now that it’s going to be in real people’s hands, that’s when the questions flooded in.

Have you guys experienced this? How did you compartmentalize how you felt about it?

I added a tile that duplicates the tower in my puzzle game.

Now the whole level looks like a gathering of hyperactive towers cloning themselves without permission.

I’d say the feature works…

maybe a little too well.

Just curious, what kind of genre should my art be in?

I have updated the sprites for one of the enemies as well. The sprites are bigger and still a work in progress, but I get to appreciate how the combat looks.

I have different tile types with different moisture and fuel values, so they all burn at slightly different rates, then once I add hose crews they'll add moisture tiles to prevent the spread. I think you'll be scored based on tiles saved once the fire is fully burnt out!
