My game is heavly inspired by the game Carrion, where you play as a red tentacle monster eat humans and escape from the bunker, look at the video do you all think the creator of the game Carrion can sue me ??? I have no intention of stealing other people idea, I really like that game and wanted to make own game like that.

We just won best art style at the largest gaming convention in Canada, here's a first look at our new hack and slash

I'm floored, we're a bit less than 6 months into technical development and we just showcased our demo at Game Con Canada a couple weeks ago, and ended up winning the award for best art style.

We learned that you don't have to be the most experienced, or do every part of this game dev thing the same as everyone else to put a smile on someone's face and give them a good experience.

I'm just so incredibly thankful for the opportunity, we're a small team of 6 and still trying to get funding to make this a full time thing, but I'm excited to announce more about project visceral soon!

I added a grid color puzzle to my game, which applies bonus stats.

Progression in the game lets you increase your total grid size allowing to you get more bonuses. Connecting colors also adds small color-set bonuses that grow the more you connect.

Previously the game had a "card" system which allowed you to equip cards which gave these bonuses, but I added a little puzzle minigame in its place which I think is a lot more interesting

Finnish dev here, sharing my debut narrative adventure - curious what you all think

Hi!

I'm a solo-ish indie developer from Finland. I just released my first game, Timber!, a narrative point-and-click adventure, after about four years of work.

The story actually started as a short story that won an award in a literary competition here in Finland, and I couldn't stop thinking about it, so eventually I decided to turn it into a game.

Tonally I was aiming for something between Night in the Woods and Little Misfortune... tragicomic, a bit melancholic, but self-aware enough to laugh at itself along the way.

You play as Hazel, a woman who's lost her memory after an accident on the road leading to her family cabin. She's convinced her late husband is still alive - in fact, she's mistaken a potato for him. As the story unfolds, you start to piece together what actually happened that day, while the police quietly treat her as a suspect and her grip on reality keeps slipping further at the edges.

The whole cast is anthropomorphic animals, which felt like the right way to keep something this emotionally heavy from becoming too heavy -- there's a light detective-noir thread running through it, along with fairly easy puzzles, since I wanted the focus to stay on the story rather than the friction.

I've attached a few screenshots from the game, and I'd genuinely love to hear what you think. As someone who grew up on this genre, I'm curious what stands out to you, or what you'd want from a game exploring memory, grief, and denial through a kind of absurdist lens.

Main char animation and pose choosing (part 3) (read description)

Hi everyone! I received some more feedback yesterday—thanks to the reasonable people who left comments with constructive criticism.

I read everything, even if I didn't reply to you.

Topic: I'm trying to choose a new character design that people will like. Here’s what’s been done so far (last changes):

  1. Many people mentioned liking long hair, so I added that option. You can choose to keep it or remove it for any pose (need to polish).

  2. The breasts were bouncing too much—I checked some references;) and toned down the amplitude of the movement.

There’s also a version where they don’t move at all (though I find that one boring, not because I’m obsessed with boobs, but simply because it looks a bit empty without the movement).

The animations aren't polished yet. And, oh! I just realized I forgot to add the shell casings)

That’s about it. Thanks everyone, and a shout-out to the people who specifically visited my sub just to downvote all my posts; watching that was actually pretty funny))

I'm creating a horror game where you can find real VHS films and watch full-length hour long horror movies in-game - Like Night of the Living Dead!

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing well.

I just wanted to show a little update on a feature that I am currently working on for my horror game, the game is inspired by Mexican folklore and a real-life location called The Island of Dolls. It's currently my biggest one yet!

Still very early but It's a survival-horror game mixed in with paranormal stuff. Think of something like The Forest, Outlast, P.T and Silent Hill combined. I added a feature where you can watch real hour long movies that you can find in VHS cassettes tapes... like the legendary Night of the living dead!

Let me know what you think or what movies I should include haha. If you like it would mean a lot to a solo dev like myself if you can wishlist it on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4581370/Where_Dolls_Hang

Thank you and it would really help me out a ton and do let me know if you have any feedback, suggestions or such! :)

I spent the last year making Ashes of the Sun, a short PS1-style atmospheric horror game

Hey everyone! I just released Ashes of the Sun, a short atmospheric horror walking sim I've been working on for the past year.

It's about 15 minutes long, with retro PS1-inspired visuals, atmospheric audio, and a few hand-crafted locations.
