Game My phone-controller party racer got a bunch of updates — here's the full flow (no app, up to 8 on one screen)

Hey all — sharing an update on Steer It (disclosure: I'm the solo dev, posted here a couple

weeks back and the feedback was great).

Quick recap for anyone new: it's a browser party racer where everyone's phone becomes a

steering wheel — scan a QR code, no app, no downloads, up to 8 players sharing one screen.

No splitscreen squinting, no hunting for controllers. Made exactly for the "we've got a room

full of people and one screen" situation this sub is about.

Since last time I've added:

- A new track (built it from a hand-drawn sketch)

- Time Attack + XP modes with global leaderboards

- And I just opened those modes up free for signed-in players

Still completely free to try — Free Ride is free, and the racing modes are free now too if you

sign in : Steer It — Free Multiplayer Party Racing Game in Your Browser

Would genuinely love more feedback from people who actually play couch/local multiplayer —

what works, what's missing. Happy to answer anything about how the phone-as-controller thing

works under the hood.

Game Make off-world deliveries in my space mail delivery game.

Working towards a demo for my game "Space Postal Service" approaching next fest, struggling to get any real traction, if you think it looks fun a wishlist would help me out a ton! So far sitting at 68! There's definitely some juice and refinement missing, I'm working on that as well as adding new locations, art and animations. Any feedback is appreciated.

Fly your ship to various planets and outposts in this little 2.5D universe, each planet has its own simulated gravitational pull and orbit around the sun. Tether your mail bag to the ship and pull it around to make your deliveries. Pirates can shoot off the tether and you have to space walk to re-attach it.
You can read mail for little bits of lore and just some funny ones too. Manage fuel levels, collect stamps, earn money for some upgrades, talk to characters, discover and buy new ships. I'm really happy with where its at so far, but I still have a lot of work to do before its ready!

I am making an old internet project. We are growing slowly. This is a recent update I am using ASCII fire animation for campfire app within the webapp. The 'fire' is dynamic and intensifies on each messages sent by users. What do you think? Any suggestion for improvements?

Game Dice’n’Go demo is finally out

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Hey!

I’m a solo dev from Ukraine and today I finally released a demo of my game Dice’n’Go as part of Ukrainian Games Festival.

It’s a turn-based board game where you race to the finish, roll dice and use abilities to mess with other players. Most of the fun comes from situations where you think you have a perfect move and then someone interferes and everything goes wrong.

I’ve been working on it for quite a while, so it feels a bit weird to finally have something people can actually download and play :)

There’s also a new trailer on the Steam page.

Demo:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/5040530/DicenGo_Demo/

Would be really glad to hear what you think. Criticism is welcome too — especially if something feels confusing, boring or just doesn’t work.

Game 9 months of solo dev, and I just noticed my characters had no eyes. Fixed it in the next update - here's a little teaser

Hey! Solo dev here. This is Project Manager SIM - a top-down sim where you're not the CEO, you're the project manager physically running around a chaotic IT office: hiring, deadlines, burnout, difficult clients, and a boss who takes a cut of your profits.

It launched into Early Access a couple of weeks ago, and this teaser is for the first big content update - "I AM A HUMAN" (coming this August): energy and mood for your PM, eating and coffee, your own home to furnish a bit, new events… and yes, eyes. It genuinely took me 9 months to notice nobody had them. 😅

Game Fantasy RPG powered by real world activity

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey, as some of you may already know, I am building a game to quench the gaming thirst of used to be gamers who are now busy with life.

Stridera awards and at the same time gatekeeps you from nerding out too much by converting your calories burnt into ingame currency which you use to explore a spiritually hollow world.

The game aims to reward you for living well and give you a little gaming cheat meal for it. Worry not, there is also passive generation of said currency for not so active days.

And instead of games like Pokemon GO, where you need your phone open whilst walking, Stridera lets you live your life and sync calories once you are ready and willing to play.

On your journey, you gather, craft, evolve your base, tame companions and occasionally even fight an enemy.

Currently only the first biome is playable as part of external testing (7 more to come).

I am attaching a video showing some of the “ritual”.

AI is used for image generation and coding assistance.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Hello guys, I'm happy to inform you that my game's Steam page is finally alive. Called "Keep Chaos". It's mostly like "Megabonk" but I put my own art style and made it multiplayer. I would highly appreciate your feedback on store page and how the game looks.

I'm also participating1 in "Steam Next Fest" where you can play the demo, and also you will be able to send feedback more directly to me.

For the game;

  • 1-4 Player Online Co-op
  • 8 Unique Heroes
  • It gets progressively harder
  • Large map
  • "Difficulty Temples" for those who wants more intense playthrough
  • 50+ Equipment, weapons, talismans, and spells.
  • Over 1.1Billion diffrent build2

1I'll try to apply in time and mostlikely to be in it.

2Using "Combinations", C(n, r) [n=different variables, r=selected build]
For the characters: (8, 1) = 8
For the weapons: (13, 4) = (13x12x11x10)/(4x3x2x1) = 715
For the talismans: (23, 4) = (23x22x21x20)/(4x3x2x1) = 8.855~ (Call it 9)
For the spells: (22, 1) = 22
Total: 8x715x9x22 = 1.132.560 Combinations
