We're a small indie team and both of our PSVR2 games are on sale right now

• IRON GUARD (50% off)
https://store.playstation.com/concept/10003472
• IRON GUARD: Salvation (30% off)
https://store.playstation.com/concept/10014836

One thing we've always debated internally is which artwork players would prefer, the darker, more grounded look of the original, or the brighter, more action-heavy style of Salvation.

Would love to know what everyone here thinks!

Hi all, it was definitely one of the highlights for our small indie team this past week, such a wonderful surprise and a honor to have been acknowledged by a legend like Shuhei Yoshida on X. 🙏

He's always been a champion of indie developers and smaller studios, which got me thinking:

Who else (past or currant) in the gaming industry has similar impact on supporting indies across any of the platforms?

Can executives even do that personally today without any issues? Or would it be helpful for players, especially given the current challenges facing gaming and VR?

It also made me think about the early days of Meta's VR store curation. It could take months to get approved, which was frustrating for many developers, but it also ensured a certain quality bar and helped shape first impressions for new VR users.

Today, do players mostly rely on reviews, creators, recommendations from friends, or would some platform curation help when choosing what to play? Is there value in having industry leaders champion great experiences that are not always AAA?

Cheers!

Hi everyone,

One of the devs here of IRON GUARD: Day Zero, which recently launched on PS5. https://store.playstation.com/concept/10019267

The game originally started life in VR, and we recently adapted it into a non-VR experience while keeping the core gameplay intact.

It's a sci-fi tower defense game where you build defenses, manage resources, and directly support your base using a combat drone. We wanted to combine traditional tower defense strategy with more active gameplay rather than having players only watch from above.

Some features:

• 30 campaign levels
• Multiple tower types and upgrades
• Active drone combat alongside base building
• Leaderboards
• Achievements + Easter eggs 😊
• Multiple difficulty levels

Would love to hear what fellow TD fans think. Happy to answer any questions about the game, design decisions, or development.

Cheers and happy gaming!

As one of the devs of IRON GUARD: Salvation, every week it feels like we're talking about studio closures, poor sales, platform uncertainty, or why VR isn't working. Meanwhile, there are dozens of genuinely excellent VR games out there that many players still haven't discovered.

So rather than complain about it, I'd like to try doing something positive.

Meta recently added a new feature for multiple developers to collaborate on bundles, and I'd like to explore creating a community-driven bundle called:

Top 2026 - 4.5+ Rated VR Bundle

The idea is simple: bring together up to 20 highly rated VR games (4.5+ stars on the Quest Store), offer them at a compelling discount, and give players an easy way to discover some of the best experiences VR has to offer.

VR Developers

If you have a Quest game with a 4.5+ rating and would be interested in participating, please reply with:

• Game name
• Quest store link
• Whether you'd be interested in joining a developer discussion group

No commitments yet, I'm simply trying to gauge interest and see whether we can assemble a strong lineup.

VR Players

If you were putting together a "Top 2026 - 4.5+ Rated VR Bundle," which games absolutely deserve a spot?

Would you buy something like this?

More importantly, would a community-curated bundle help you discover VR games you might otherwise miss?

I'd rather spend my energy promoting great VR games than debating whether VR is alive or dead.

If you're interested, developer or player, leave a comment and let's see if we can make something happen.

Thanks all.

Hi everyone,

After releasing two highly rated PSVR2 titles, we're bringing the IRON GUARD universe to PS5 players for the first time with IRON GUARD: Day Zero, on June 19th.

Day Zero is a flat-screen version of the original IRON GUARD VR game, updated and improved for PS5. Our hope is that it introduces more players to the IRON GUARD universe and maybe sends a few (or many 😁) down the rabbit hole toward the VR games as well.

We're a small independent team, and after spending the last few years focused almost entirely on VR, we're excited (and a little nervous) to see how PlayStation players respond to our first non-VR release.

One thing we're genuinely curious about, how do players feel about games that start in VR and later come to flatscreen? They're often very different experiences despite sharing the same world, gameplay, and mechanics.

Would a bundle that included both the VR and non-VR versions of a game be interesting to you, or would you only ever want one version?

Would love to hear your thoughts, and thanks to everyone who continues to support indie developers, whether in VR or flat-screen gaming.

Cheers!

Hey everyone 👋

Just wanted to share that the IRON GUARD games are currently on sale on PlayStation Store for PSVR2 players, and our upcoming flat-screen adaptation, IRON GUARD: Day Zero, is now officially listed as well.

Store page:

https://store.playstation.com/en-us/search/iron%20guard

Day Zero is essentially a flat-screen adaptation/remaster of the original IRON GUARD VR game. The main focus was bringing the gameplay over to traditional platforms, making it work well with the DualSense controller, and improving/reworking some gameplay features and levels along the way.

We also added difficulty settings and included music tracks from both IRON GUARD games.

The core gameplay and overall experience remain very close to the original, but we hope it gives flatscreen players a good way to experience the game universe as well and eventually helps introduce more traditional players to VR as well.

We’d genuinely love to hear feedback from the community. And if Day Zero looks interesting, wishlists definitely help support the project while we march towards release ❤️

Happy to answer any questions as well.
