Hey everyone! 👋

I’m working on a co-op dungeon game where you and a friend explore dungeons, fight mobs, collect loot, and take on bosses.

I’m sharing a short gameplay clip showing some dungeon combat, looting, and a boss fight. I’d really appreciate some honest feedback!

Personally, I like how the boss fight is coming together, but it still feels a little unfinished to me. Since this is the first level, I also don’t want the boss to be too difficult, so I’m trying to find the right balance.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on a few things:

• Visuals: Does the game look good so far? Is there anything that feels off or could be improved?
• Combat: Does the fighting look satisfying, or does anything feel lacking?
• Boss fight: Does it feel engaging enough, even if it’s meant to be an easier first-level boss?
• Overall feel: Based on this short clip, is there anything you’d change or add?

I know there’s still work to do, so feel free to be honest. Both positive feedback and constructive criticism are welcome!

Meccha Chameleon gave me the idea, but I wanted to make it something you could play on your phone as well.

In Pic-Asso, you hide by blending a character into a real photo and you got to seek for others. there are also live matches where you can play against other real-time.

Let me know what you think:)

It is a simple platformer where only 1 player in the world can play at a time, the rest are spectating. You can put yourself in queue and wait for your turn to play, and chat globally while waiting.

A weird experimental game, but totally free!

There’s no farming in the game. Instead, you run an inn for monsters, prepare meals, decorate your inn, and befriend your monster guests.

I tried making this trailer with a different feel from my previous one.

Hi, my name's Andrew and I'm working on Reality Drift, a strategic roguelike racing game!

About two months ago, my game was approaching completion but I felt like it needed a bit more variety of art. I always try to make games which are a bit unhinged, so when I was thinking of an artist to reach out to, I thought of Keita Takahashi, the creator of games like Katamari Damacy and Wattam. Of course, there was no guarantee that someone of his profile would be available to do some work for some random indie game, but on this occasion he was available, and spent three weeks doing some art!

I've attached some of the concept art he did - the final versions of these are now fully implemented in the game. The teeth sketch became part of a whole new racetrack where the player drives through the human body. The skeleton became a giant skull that you find in some caves. There are clips of these two areas in the trailer on the Steam page.

I don't yet know if this collaboration will end up having been financially worthwhile for me, but as a fan of Katamari Damacy ever since it came out in 2004, it was very cool to work with the guy behind it!

The game will be in this month's Next Fest, and the full game will be out in just over a month!

Movement is built on Half-Life/Source air strafing, so if you surfed in CS it should feel familiar. On top of that:

• Wall runs, wall kicks and mantles that link straight out of a surf line
• Portals keep your momentum, and your bullets go through them too
• Your knife heats up as you build speed, and the hotter blade wins a clash
• Six classic CS:S surf maps run on pure CS:S rules (no parkour, autohop, CS:S fall damage) for purists

I grew up on combat surf in 1.6 and Source, and this is my attempt to bring the mode back. Up to 32 players.

What's the first thing you check when you try a new movement shooter?

It's turn based in a way. You only thrive and move things if you interact with it. Can't chill and make money.

It's playable but I want to iron it out fully and thoroughly.
The topography fits the town I was born too

My wife and I are working on our debut game, Good Luck, Little Truck! Here's a new gameplay trailer!

About the game:

Good Luck, Little Truck! Is a genre-bending cozy navigation puzzler/narrative delivery sim.

Help a recovering island nation bounce back from collapse in a hopeful post-post-apocalypse by delivering supplies and building community amongst its robot and human inhabitants.

Nas últimas semanas tenho focado bastante nas mecânicas de movimentação e plataforma de Unstrung Machine.

Já implementei Pogo, Dash, Double Jump, Wall Slide, Wall Jump e Rope Swing, e também venho trabalhando nas animações, transições e efeitos para fazer tudo parecer mais fluido e responsivo.

Ainda estou refinando bastante coisa, principalmente a sensação de conectar uma habilidade com a outra, mas a movimentação finalmente está começando a chegar mais perto do que eu imaginava para o jogo.

Unstrung Machine (Wishlist on Steam)

Do you think this is worth digging into more? I guess the story scenes are kinda ok, but there are lots of things that aren't yet settled in my mind especially for the exploration scenes, so I'm all open for suggestions/feedbacks. 

Hi everyone!

I'm a self-taught game developer and designer, and I've been learning and making games for around 10 years now.

Game development has always been a huge passion of mine, but for most of my career I've found myself working on other people's projects and making games that I wasn't necessarily passionate about.

I've always wanted to make something of my own, but I kept putting it off. Either the idea was too ambitious, I didn't think I was ready, or life just got in the way (tbh I was just procrastinating).

So I finally decided... screw it. I'm making one.

Introducing: Battle Arcanist Legend League Soccer!
(or BALLS for short)

It's a chaotic multiplayer soccer game about wizards, spells, questionable sportsmanship, and apparently frying pans.

This is my first proper indie project, so I'm trying to find a balance between making something I can realistically finish and still pushing myself to make something I'm genuinely proud of.

What you're seeing here is still very early alpha footage. There's a ton I want to add, change, polish, and probably break along the way. But for the first time in a long time, I'm making a game simply because it's something I want to play.

I'm also developing BALLS alongside a full-time job, so progress might not always be lightning fast, but I'm planning to keep sharing development updates as the game grows.

The goal is simple:

Finish the damn game and put BALLS on Steam.

I'd love to hear what you guys think! Feedback, criticism, spell ideas, or general thoughts are all welcome.

Wish me luck!

hey all! 🐝

We just release a new trailer showing all the new features and visuals of the game! 💛

Bottled by Bears is a cozy management game about a family of bears running their honey farm. A demo is available if you want to try the game out!

Working on Above the Tideline, a strategy game set on an occupied Norwegian island in 1945.

The part I've been trying to get right is separating what actually happened, what you discovered, and what you choose to put in the official record.

Still polishing the UI, but the loop is finally starting to feel right.

Sparkubo — a cozy medieval RPG where you can build a home between adventures

Hey everyone! I wanted to share Sparkubo, a free-to-play online RPG currently in open beta. It runs in your browser on desktop and mobile, with no download needed.

Start your adventure on Lantern Isle, then sail to a world of towns, forests, deserts and mountains. Spend your time fishing, gathering and crafting, or grab your gear and explore dungeons.

You can level up 16 skills, trade with other players, join a clan and build your own home, farm and workshop.

The idea is to give you room for both quiet afternoons by the fishing spots and adventures fighting monsters—depending on your mood.
