Platform: PC and Mac

Description: Hi everyone!

We’re a small indie team from France, and we just hit a big milestone: the demo for our first game, Factomancer, is finally live!

It’s a factory builder set in a world where magic and machines meet. We wanted to try something a bit different from the traditional formula:

• The Loop: Tackle missions with evolving challenges and dynamic events.
• Progression: Unlock new recipes and tech after each run.
• The Setting: A 3D stylized world where magic and machinery scale together.

We just released our first public demo. Combining factory automation with roguelite elements is a bit of an experiment for us, and we’re really curious to see if this style approach to automation resonates with players!

If you like automation, roguelites, or just the pure satisfaction of optimizing production chains, please give it a look. We’d love to hear your honest feedback!

Demo, free to play

Our trailer JUST premiered during the LAGS - Summer Fest Edition Showcase!!
So excited to finally share this! Because we hid a choice-driven point-and-click adventure in a desk job sim with a roguelite time loop, and we just wanted to tell you about it.

We'll get more specific about the Q3 2026 playtest date as it looms closer!
What do you think of the trailer?

You were created five minutes ago.
The god who made you is watching your every move.

He's called the Sky King, and he abandons every world he builds the moment something new catches his eye.

You're the first creation he's made with the power to change that. Eight arms, a grappling hook, a sword, ink.

Eight endings, genre-shifting worlds, existential dark humour.

Hey r/IndieGame,

I’m Japhet, the developer of Scream Operator: Haunted House Manager. A cozy-spooky pixelart management game in which you are invited to take place in the control booth of a haunted house dark ride.

You can read everything about it, and wishlist the game on it's steampage here!

A few weeks ago, IGN exclusively revealed the game's first trailer,, which you can check out here!

In this game:

• You manage the full ride flow, from loading anxious guests to dispatching carts. You push the buttons and control it all.
• You must drag-and-drop props, lighting, and animatronics to design scares and raise your max Scare Score.
• You can unlock upgrades, new items and automate manual work (Expect staff, shops & snacks😏).
• and you can enjoy a great cozy/spooky atmosphere and a original composed soundtrack + a neat little origin story involving everyone you meet on your new work.

And great news! A free public demo is planned for this Halloween season, alongside Steam Next Fest 🎃.

I'm a solo developer, so any feedback on the atmosphere or mechanics is genuinely valuable to me. Let me know what you think, and if you have any questions or suggestions, also please feel free to hit me up in the comments below!

No Generative AI was used for the art, animations, code, or assets. All pixel art and mechanics were created by me and the artists I've worked with, and the soundtrack was composed by a great musician. 

Olá!

Estou a desenvolver Hexrite, um jogo de ação-plataforma inspirado nos clássicos da era PS2!

É um jogo onde você faz pactos com deuses e ganha feitiços proibidos por meio de rituais mágicos, além disso, é um jogo de plataforma com combate estilo Souls-like!

Fica aqui o trailer inteiro! (saiu essa semana passada).

De momento há muita gente do Brasil a dar wishlist, e eu gostaria que quando o jogo lança-se no final deste ano que tivesse um preço acessível e razoável considerando o mercado brasileiro. Irei colocar o jogo a 10€/10$ e gostaria de saber o que seria o equivalente no Brasil?

Será que R$ 50 é um preço justo? Menos? Mais? O jogo é suposto ser entre 8 a 10 horas, tem narrativa, combate, NPC's, puzzles, etc.

Tem a página da Steam aqui se quiser dar wishlist e ver mais do jogo!

First time poster, long time reader of TurnBased Lovers. Love turn-based games so much, I went ahead and started to make one!

Reypunk is my upcoming Point-And-Click / Beat'em Up game that I'm solo developing. It features a unique turn-based combat system, along with real-time playback features.

Just released the Steam page, about 20 minutes ago... if you like what you see a Wishlist would be great, thanks!

Привет всем! Я Макс, сценарист Deep Pixel Melancholy. Это визуальная новелла, которую мы с другом начали делать несколько лет назад, чтобы спастись от выгорания и заняться чем-нибудь по кайфу.

Скорее всего, упоминание ВН уже кого-то отпугнуло, хотя сам я люблю штуки вроде Slay the Princess или Doki Doki. Но в любом случае мы хотели сделать игру в близкой нам эстетике ебеней, с другими сюжетными тропами, с другим нарративом, а ещё чтоб в игре надо было не только читать, но иногда и во что-то интересное тыкаться.

Неожиданно для себя мы собрали 25,000, с чего до сих пор офигиваем, и активно доделываем игру. Она выйдет в этом году, а пока доступно демо в Steam.

Не хочется нарочито что-то рекламировать, но для нас будет правда круто, если вы зацените игру и оставите отзыв (где угодно). Мы до сих пор смотрим каждый стрим, шортс, комменты и весь контент по игре, который только находим.

Ну и если вам такое нравится, то добавляйте в вишлист, пожалуйста. Ссылку оставляю ниже. Спасибо <3

What started as a GMTK 2025 jam game has now become Insert Disc, a DVD screensaver inspired roguelike. We recently released this announcement trailer!

As a 2-person indie studio, we get to add exact references that are nostalgic for our own childhood, particularly from the 2000s era such as the lava lamp and those red coin return buttons on arcade machines. Some gameplay inspirations were Nubby's Number Factory and Balatro, but many have compared us to the satisfying bouncing of Peggle as well.

Ultimately, we wanted to make a relaxing/even hypnotizing experience that captures some of that Saturday late night gaming feel, back when we had no responsibilities or bills to pay :')

After over a year of development I finally reached the point where the release of my game is coming closer. Just this weekend I officially published the release date which is the 12th of August 2026.
Really looking forward to getting the game out, finishing the project and adding another Godot game to Steam! Just to have it get to properly work on the SteamDeck and adding a few last minute features…
