We're a small indie team currently working on Guilty or Not, which I would describe as a wacky “total freedom” courtroom simulator where you investigate crimes, question suspects, hand down verdicts… but also point your gun at defendants or hit them with your gavel if they ain't cooperating!

GUILTY... OR NOT - What Our Game is About

When we first started talking about making a detective game, we quickly realized that none of us were particularly interested in building a serious simulation of the legal system. We love courtroom dramas and murder mysteries, of course, but we also kept coming back to all the things those stories normally don’t let the main character do.

What if the detective was also the judge, and what if you could decide for yourself what counts as convincing evidence? What if a witness tried to bribe you, the defendant threatened your life in the middle of the trial, or you could bonk someone with your judge’s hammer because they were getting on your nerves? 

These are all unrealistic scenarios, but making something sensible was never really our main goal. We want the player to be able to decide the best way to solve a given situation, and from the most unorthodox angles imaginable.

In other words, we want Guilty or Not to be a FUN game, first and foremost - something that our players will enjoy messing around in - and build the sort of courtroom sim where every case can become a bizarre story that nobody was counting on!

The Steam page is live + The Giveaway!

Our Steam page went up not a week ago and we’re delighted to finally share this 100% bizarre interpretation of the justice system with everyone who might be interested in this sort of weird courtroom simulation!

You can find GUILTY OR NOT and wishlist it here:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4557160/Guilty_or_Not/

Furthermore, to celebrate this big step in development, we want to give away two $100 Steam Gift Cards!

There are no strict rules for participating. Just leave a comment below and tell us if you find the idea behind the game interesting - and what you think would improve it! … OR TELL US WHAT KIND OF JUDGE YOU’D BE? :)

A lot of the specifics are still in the air, but we’re absolutely unhinged in our commitment to making the game an immersive and memorable experience (and a darkly funny one too) - at minimum once the demo is out! So we’re building one step at a time.

Our biggest priority is making sure the freedom isn’t only there as a gimmick, but that the game genuinely reacts to your decisions and gives you enough room to create your own ridiculous courtroom stories!

In the meanwhile, you can share in our hype by taking part in this Giveaway.

THE GIVEAWAY WILL LAST THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AND THE WINNERS WILL BE CHOSEN ON MONDAY (TO MAKE A SAD DAY HAPPIER!)

Good luck!

Been building a local co-op game called Zwamman. One person moves through the dark with the arrow keys. The other holds a spotlight with the mouse and finds crystals scattered through a swamp. Neither role works alone, so the two players end up talking and pointing to figure it out together.

The part I kept coming back to during development: no reading required for either role, nothing timed, no quest log or dialogue to parse. There are monsters in the dark, but the spotlight scares them off. No health bar, no game over.

The whole thing started as a project for cliniclowns, an organization that visits children in hospitals. That's why it's built the way it is. Nothing that punishes someone for going slow, nothing that turns a hard day into a harder one.

Getting close to launch. If you've got a kid who wants to actually play something with you instead of just watching, please try out the free demo.

It's pretty crazy to see how much the players care about these little creatures. I have several players playing all day everyday, it's really quite amazing seeing a community becoming so active so quickly. It's becoming such a cool community game where everyone has input and works together and trades.

Anyways just figured I'd show some of the cool blubbies I've drawn, do you have any favorites? any ideas? I added some of the outfit pieces you can find in the world.

Hey friends -

I want to start out by saying that the promo image I use is not AI generated. I have uploaded proof of this to my profile, you’ll have to scroll back to find it. I am a firm believer in paying artists and creators for their worth.

Now;

I’ve spent the past 14 months of my life, and $32,000 in development spend, curating a development team of 8 that have been working diligently to be able to bring this weird dream of mine to reality.

I have always been able to see the crossover blend potential of the game mechanics of Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley & Minecraft. When I sought out to bring this project to life, an always-online server version of all 3 of these games, I realized it was more possible than I imagined in modern day.

I have played animal crossing since I was 12, and Minecraft since 14 - it’s just such a realistic cozy blend, and I can’t believe I can almost almost say, my team and I made it happen - with NO MODS. All in a resource pack.

We've created a multiplayer experience that allows you to share your cozy capitalistic journey with friends while still always feeling in first-person perspective, with your own tasks and goals to achieve.

You’ll likely see on your socials in the coming weeks some cool promos we’re running after launch! We open for early access on August 1st, and launch open access August 8th. I hope this magical development can make an impactful change to the Minecraft gaming space ⭐️

My house had become a constant cycle of nagging. I’d ask for chores to be done, get ignored, and then end up frustrated and hovering. I realized I was stuck in a "parent-as-manager" role that I hated, and the kids were just tuning it out.

Instead of fighting about it, I decided to take a different approach. I sat down with my 11-year-old, and we started brainstorming how to gamify the process.

We ended up building a small app, ChoreQuest, to handle the tracking and rewards for us.

For me, the win wasn't just the app itself—it was the collaborative process of building it with her. We went from fighting over who cleans what to actually collaborating on the UI and the logic. Now, we use it daily with my 11 and 6-year-old, and the dynamic has completely shifted. It turned "chores" into "game mechanics," and the nagging has pretty much stopped.

I’m curious how other tech-minded parents here handle the chore struggle? Do you use a custom system, a paper chart, or have you built something similar?

If anyone is interested in the technical side or wants to see how we set it up, the app is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andriusdijokas.chorequest&hl=en

I’m happy to share what worked (and what failed) during the build process if anyone is looking for a project to do with their kids!

And we have like small video how it looks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_j6N2VSEpE
