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!

Hi everyone,

With the upcoming Swedish elections in mind, I put together a simple browser-based game where the main goal is to win an election campaign.

It's a bit different and not tied to the exact same historical figures, but while building the mechanics, I was heavily inspired by Red Autumn*,* especially when it comes to things like managing social groups and interest organizations.

Unlike Red Autumn, this game isn't focused on just one party. You can play as any of the major Swedish parties, from the Left Party (V) to the Social Democrats (S), all the way to the Sweden Democrats (SD) and the Moderates (M)

I missed playing Catan & Civ, so I built my own strategy game over the weekend with AI's help.

Rajasuya, 12 turns, two rival claims to the high kingship of ancient India based during the times of Mahabharata.

Free to play, in-browser.

Hope you find it fun.

Hey RTS fans,

I’m part of the the team at Saigon Dragon Studios share the launch of Space Tales, a retro-futuristic sci-fi RTS that has now officially reached 1.0 on Steam today.

The game is built around a story-driven single-player campaign, modular base building, resource management, defensive planning, and adapting your tactics against enemy factions that fight very differently from one another.

The 1.0 release brings the full Space Tales experience, including:

• A full sci-fi RTS campaign following Xander Falcon through a space opera conflict shaped by family tragedy, ancient races, hostile worlds, and universe-ending threats
• Three enemy factions with distinct combat behaviors
• HUB-based base expansion and energy-line management
• Replayable survival challenges
• Colossal boss encounters where you need to study attack patterns and engage carefully
• Capturable neutral monsters that can be summoned as battlefield allies
• A tech tree with branching upgrades for HUBs and units

The game was in Early Access for a few months, and the studio used that time to improve balance, controls, unit behavior, localization, and the overall RTS feel based on player feedback.

Side note: the Early Access label still appears on our Steam page, but we can confirm that the playable version available today is 1.0. We are working to remove the Early Access label shortly ;)

Do you guys like this art style?

This is Monuments to Ruin, a tower-defence game with free building placement. We wanted to get away from grids and lanes so we used a flow field for enemy navigation. That means enemies will take the path of least resistance and if that means attacking your walls and towers they sure will. When we did our last playtest 8 months ago the game only had the core gameplay loop and was lacking any replayability and progression. So we spent those months adding just that:

• Overworld Map
  • Embark on expeditions to retake the land claimed by the Ruin Fog
  • Weigh the risks of building up more settlements or advancing as quickly as possible
• Unlock Tree
  • Unlock many new buildings and upgrades for those buildings
  • Try out many damage types and the effects of fusing two different ones
• Guilds
  • Work with the guilds to put your people to best use
  • Your population is everything: who builds your towers, who you are protecting and who dies when your buildings are attacked
• More Replayability
  • We added many more things to find in the fog, added more upgrades and reworked most of the UI for better usability

Our open playtest is live right now. We would love to hear your feedback and all the bugs you find (maybe that one a bit less but you know). You can sign up right here on our steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3579410/Monuments_to_Ruin/

I’m solo developing this project for almost a year. I really enjoy while I making it and hope you guys too.

What do you think if we can upgrade towers with the cost of "ink" ?

Feels great and terrifying to finally put the game demo publicly out there.

Go ahead and give it a spin if the trailer made you interested! There is roughly 6-10 hours of content to play in the demo, depending on your familiarity of the factory building genre.

If you encounter any bugs or issues I would appreciate any feedback either on the Steam forum or the discord (link in Steam forum).

My modern day wargame "Zambala", set in a fictional African nation on the cusp of civil war, has been 25 years in the making, and due for release in a few months.

I started designing this game decades ago, inspired by a few old play by mail wargames I used to play back in the day. So that old I was around before computer wargames were even a thing!

I've always been a programmer, and my brother is artistic, so we worked together to produce the art and the map, but life gets in the way, jobs, children etc. hence the slow evolution. 

In the game you command one of six competing tribes, hoping to lead your people and capture the "national will" before the United Nations intervene to end the civil war and appoint an interim government. Your leader can be selected from one of the following vocations: Politician, Bishop, General, Diplomat, Humanitarian, Economist and Cartel boss. 

Its a hex and counters style game with fog of war, zones of control, naval and air power. There is a complete economic warfare model where you will fight for the hearts and minds of the peoples of Zambala, who in turn fund your international arms market purchases. 

I've also woven in a spies and agents subsystem so you can subvert and sway the population centres with propaganda and carry out assassinations and hits against enemy leaders and agents.

I've gone with Nato unit counters and a combat system that includes twelve unit types, movement and combat phases, retreats and combat bonuses for terrain, special unit types and leader stacking modifiers.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, impressions or questions!

Often overlooked in favor of it's sequel, Lords of the Realm 1 is one of the most chill strategy games I've ever played and features beautiful pixel art that I personally think has aged better than the sequel's mid-'90's 3D graphics have (don't get me wrong, I love LotR2 as well). But just look at this art! Who else has played this hella chill game?
