Selamlar herkese 👋

Tek başıma geliştirdiğim cozy oyunum The Walking Onsen’den ufak bir ilk fragman paylaşmak istedim. Oyunum henüz daha geliştirilme aşamasında. Sorunuz varsa cevaplamayı çok isterim.

Güzel Sanatlar mezunuyum; bu yüzden görsel konuda oyunumun öne çıkması için elimden geleni yaptım. Oyundaki tüm çizimleri tek tek kağıda suluboya ve guajla yapıp tarattım. El çizimi görsellerin en çok cozy türüne yakışacağını düşündüğüm ve Miyazaki hayranı olduğum için böyle bir oyun yapmak istedim. Umarım beğenirsiniz :)

Oyunda, orman ruhlarının ziyaret ettiği büyülü, yürüyen bir kaplıcayı yönetiyorsunuz. Sevimli ruhani konukları temizleyip yıkayabilir, şifalı iksirler hazırlayabilir ve bitki çayları demleyebilirsiniz. Gelen misafirlerin dertlerini, hikayelerini dinliyor; misafirleri ve iksir formüllerini deftere kaydediyorsunuz. Ayrıca onsen ilerledikçe farklı şehirlerden geçecek ve yeni diyarlar keşfedeceksiniz.

Henüz yolun başındayım, fikirleriniz ve yorumlarınız benim için çok değerli. Bu yorumlara göre biraz ne yapacağımı belirliyorum açıkçası Wishlist'e ekleyerek destek olabilirsiniz, linki yoruma bırakıyorum.

Teşekkürler:)

Hi everyone! Historical Fashion Dress Up is a cozy dress up game where you can explore fashion from different periods of history!

You can create historically inspired outfits, customize your characters, and build your own little historical scenes. The clothing is based on garments from museum collections, fashion illustrations, and paintings, so you can actually explore the details and silhouettes of what people wore in different eras.

If you want to learn more about the fashions you're dressing up in, there's an in-game info menu with information about the historical clothing and its inspiration.

Also, all the illustrations are hand-drawn and carefully researched. If you have any questions I would love to answer them!

Thanks for the feedback and support!

In case you didn't know, this hanzi hanging on the wall is upside down! It's the character for "fortune" (fu) and it's upside down on purpose.

In Chinene “the fu is upside down,” sounds like, “fortune has arrived,” so the flipped character is a New Year’s pun for luck coming in! o.o

I thought it was cool that it was included in the game, LOL

Just an FYI!

My wife and I have been into brick sets for years, so I made Calm Bricks, a game that tries to capture what building one actually feels like.

You open the bags, hunt for the right piece in the pile (or sort everything first if that's your style), and build from an interactive manual you can rotate and switch between view modes.

Next I'm planning a creative mode: you design your own model, and the game generates step-by-step instructions for it, so you can build it the same way.

Trailer's attached, I'd love to hear what you think!

P.s. Do you sort before building, or just dig through the pile? I`m the second one type.

Hello r/CozyGamers !

I've been developing WalkScape for almost 3 years now. We (Not a Cult, the company) have gone from just me as a solo dev to now having a team of five people in total and things are ramping up!

We're releasing player-to-player trading to WalkScape TODAY! (7th of October).

How to start playing

You can start playing the game immediately if you support us through our Patreon page. We currently have 20% and 60% Discounts on Patreon for your first month/year as a way to celebrate the release of Trading. More on the Discounts here.

The game is entirely community funded with no investors or publishers behind it. This way we can ensure that our players are always our #1 priority and the creative vision for this game isn't compromised.

If you don't feel like supporting the game or want to try it first for free, you can apply to the Closed Beta. We let new players in who have applied fairly regularly.

Info on how to apply for free access.

Introduction

3 years ago I was wondering of ways how I could motivate myself to walk more. I have ADHD, and sometimes find it hard to motivate myself to exercise. Thought about combining RS as I've been addicted to it for more than 10 years and walking, and that's how the game got started.

WalkScape is a game inspired by RuneScape and other MMOs but with a twist - you progress in it by walking in the real world! It's designed to be non-intrusive, with no predatory monetization practices. By non-intrusive we mean that it will truly let you enjoy your time outside by not constantly requiring your attention. Everything that needs active involvement (like combat or quests) should be done when you get home.

The main goal of the game is to make people more interested in walking by giving them an amazing gaming experience to motivate them to keep walking. And you can play it while at work, or when you are walking with friends, and while walking your dog. You can truly focus on what you are doing and do more active playing later.

Features & content

- records your steps in the background when the game isn't even open

- no GPS, no microtransactions, no predatory practises

- smart watch integrations on both iOS and Android

- no AI generated content, art, or anything like that

- 12 different skills to level up

- a huge world map with 50+ locations

- almost 1000 different items

- 10+ pets

- NPCs, shops, dozens of achievements

- job boards, factions and faction reputations

- leaderboards, trading, friend system

- and much more!

Gen AI disclosure

Early in the development we used AI generated images as placeholders for some locations. All of those have since been removed and replaced with images created by a real artist.

There is no AI generated content, art or writing in the game and we intend to keep it that way.

What's been added since last post

I posted here last time almost a year ago, and a ton has happened since. Our team has been busy especially putting together the servers & technical requirements to support real time & asynchronous player interactions. Trading is the first feature coming out that uses this.

In addition we've shipped several content updates, QoL, new game mechanics, reworked Bank system, pets, three new skills and a lot more to the game. You can find the full the full version log fron our Wiki.

Thanks for reading

Thank you so much for reading, and I really hope you'd consider joining the game! We have a lot of new stuff coming out and we're ramping up to get the game fully released as Open Beta.

And thanks for everyone who has supported us or does so!

Happy walking and stay hydrated. I'll answer amy questions you may have in the comments ❤️

Hello there everyone! ✨

I’m a solo developer creating The Spirit Apprentice, inspired by East Asian folklore and the magic of Studio Ghibli. It’s a relaxed RPG. You'll explore the village of Moshu, learn magic, form contracts with spirits, and get to know its mysterious villagers.

My Kickstarter with a small DEMO is now live!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/s-j/the-spirit-apprentice-east-asian-fantasy-rpg

I’ve hand-drawn everything in my game and have spent every moment outside of work creating something I hope you all will like.

Thank you everyone! This community has been so kind and lovely to me during this process ♥️♥️

Hi everyone, I'm developing a roguelike deck-builder in the style of Balatro but about Sushi, the core loop of the game is collecting ingredients, tools and sauces to create the highest scoring sushi you can and reach day 25 to complete the run and unlock more stuff :)

I mentioned the ingredient synergies in the title and an example would be like:
- Rice: x2 Flavour to every Topping if the sushi contains a Nori
- Shrimp: +30 Flavour for every ingredient currently in your hand
I found that with those kind of synergies you can find a lot of cool combinations, for instancy my brother is obsessed with a full shrimp build + a sauce which let's you draw 5 more ingredients to the hand :D

You can play the DEMO right now on Steam:

If you like it feel free to wishlist it, it helps a lot!

Happy to answer any question or curiosity about the game or the development of it :)

Hey everybody <3

We're less than a month from releasing our witchy cottage builder/exploration game, REKA, on Steam and we've launched our demo too!

our demo was last live two years ago and since then we've made heaps of improvements, and it's playable on steam deck too.

Set in autumn (the best season!) REKA will have you playing as an apprentice witch to the legendary Baba Jaga (we love folklore), and you'll live your witchy life in the gorgeous woodlands where you can build your own chicken-legged hut.

if anybody fancies trying out our game, you can download the demo on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1737870/REKA/

also we posted about a month ago on here about our release date and received so many wonderful comments. thank you so much everyone it really meant a lot!

Hey, fellow cozies!
Some of you might remember Library of Lyria - the cozy library game my husband and I have been working on for roughly the last four years. From top down view to 3rd person over-the-shoulder view to the new visual glow-up: The game has come far. And we're by far not finished, yet.

How do you like the new style?
Personally, we're super happy we (especially my husband Jan) put so much work into this new look. The game feels way friendlier and cozier. He's also cut a new teaser trailer, which we will show you at a later time!

About the game:
You restore a magical library and turn a ruin into a wonderful, enchanted place that you fill with new life. Run the library, craft enchanted books, cater to unique readers and explore a whimsical world in this cozy sandbox, farm and management sim. Uncover ancient secrets and bring forgotten knowledge back to life!

It's still in heavy development. We're planning on releasing the demo version in about a year from now and participating in the Steam Next Fest in Fall 2027. Early Access Release will come shortly after. Yes, EA sucks most of the time (we know) but we're always trying to develop the game WITH you and listen to your voices - that's why we ask actively for your opinions here on Reddit and on our Discord. We also decided EA was a route we have to go because we're working on this game next to working full time and raising a toddler, as well as paying for all the artists, assets etc. from our own savings.

We did apply for governmental funding but we still haven't heard back from them, yet. Fingers crossed we get it, so we can develop a little more freely and are finally able to pay for really awesome artists who will overhaul the complete UI and illustrations, all the NPCs and compose custom music for our game over the next year!

Here, you can see more "before" and "after" screenshots in a higher resolution: https://rainlight.games/look-comparison

Every wishlist entry helps and brings us one step closer to our dream of being full-time indie gamedevs who bring beautifully handcrafted games to you ♥

Thank you for your time!
And: FINALLY IT'S COZY SEASON! (I'm a cozy girl myself so this had to come out at some point haha)

All the best,
Rain & Jan

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4336940/Lenin_Street_Geek_Shop_Demo/

I really liked the game when it was first announced and started following the project. I even posted about it on Reddit to support the team, which eventually led to me becoming friends with the developers. About half a year later, they brought me on as a community manager and a bit of a QA. I never thought this would happen!

I’d be really happy if you gave the demo a try, because I genuinely think this game is worth it.

Lenin Street Geek Shop is a story-driven simulator about a geek shopkeeper in the 2000s. Sell "Friendzone" gum, 3-in-1 coffee, and Max Ouch CDs, customize your shop, influence the lives of quirky customers, and make your mom's dream come true!

The demo features 4 in-game days, unique situations that are exclusive to the demo, and rewards that carry over to the full game. And the coolest part - a secret cartoon!

I personally contacted a bunch of artists for it until we found the right one who could bring all the crazy ideas and jokes we had for it xd. It was a lot of work, but I think it turned out awesome.

And yes, no AI was used.

The art style blends colorful pixel art with the PS1-era graphics of early-2000s games. All made by humans! For all the CDs, posters, and other artwork alone, we worked with around 10+ different artists.

I hope you'll enjoy the demo, have a great day!

AI disclosure: The 3D models are made in Blender. The Steam capsule was originally an AI placeholder and has now been replaced with art made from in-game shots. The game itself does not use generative AI.

EmberQuest is a cozy, social MMO built around the feeling of being part of a small, living community. Rather than spreading thousands of players across an enormous world, EmberQuest keeps its world intentionally compact, so you regularly run into familiar faces while exploring, gathering resources, trading, fighting monsters, or simply hanging around town. We've got magic hats that let you transform into animals, 9 tiers of gear, questing, cooking, crafting, spearfishing, enchanting, mining, chopping, collecting, and pretty much anything you can think of!

Wishlist here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5328820/EmberQuest/

AI Disclosure: All 3D art is 100% made by real humans hand modeled in blender! A small percent of item icons however, were made by AI
