I Made a survivor like Game with Physics-Based Collisions and Intense Combat

I’m the solo developer of Full Metal Hell, a survivors-like game with physics-based collisions. You can ram into enemies as a secondary form of attack, use the terrain to evade them and plan your escape routes, and combine a variety of active abilities to turn the tide at critical moments.

Expect huge swarms of enemies, intense combat, and maybe just a little bit of a challenge!

A free demo is now available on Steam. I’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions. Thank you!

My 'Diablo with Mechs' Roguelite in the making - wanted to show off an early boss fight.

Hi, I'm the solo developer for Frame of Suffering - a "Diablo with Mechs" Roguelite.

My game is currently in heavy development, so many features are still changing. But I wanted to share a look at an early boss fight! Here you can see some combat mechanics, along with switching between the Pilot and the Mech Suit (Frame).

A core mechanic of the game revolves around progressing both your Pilot and Frame. You’ll also find plenty of loot - from swapping Frame parts that change your Mech's look to completely customizing your Pilot's equipment.

If all goes well, I'm hoping to have a demo ready sometime in the first half of next year. If you’d like to learn more, feel free to check out the Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3844300/Frame_of_Suffering/

What makes a support character worth picking over another damage dealer?

I was reading a recent developer interview for Dead Account: Two Blue Flames, and one example caught my attention: pairing a character who pulls enemies together with another who has a wide-area attack.

I haven’t played it, but that sounds like a good reason to give a party slot to someone whose own damage might be lower. Grouping enemies could make another character’s attacks much more useful, especially if positioning matters.

What I’d want to see is whether picking that support changes my next few decisions. Do I start taking upgrades for a bigger attack radius? Can I use a slower attack more reliably because enemies are grouped up?

That’s usually what gets me interested in a build: choosing something that makes other options worth considering.

In party-based roguelites, what has actually convinced you to take a support over another damage dealer? Any examples where one support completely changed how you built or played the team?

Any other games like Vampire Survivors?

I was randomly looking at similar games under a tab on PS store and I came up to a Nerd Survivors game, and Deep Rock Galactic survivor. My question(s) are, are these similar in gameplay? And if so are they worth it? Cause I enjoy Vampire Survivors alot. And if there's any similar games like these (im assuming bullet heaven/hell style games as my Google told me) id take all suggestions. I love games like these I can casually listen to my audiobooks and chill.

A lot has changed lately, so I made one last trailer before the demo

I have been working on getting the demo ready as soon as I can, and a lot has changed over the past few weeks, so I wanted to put together one more trailer.

This time I tried to make it a little more cinematic while still showing the actual gameplay. Since the demo is getting close, I’ve also been spending a lot of time balancing the arenas, improving how they look, and adding small details where I can.

I have received a lot of useful feedback and support from this community, so I wanted to share the new trailer and the latest progress here as well. This will probably be my last trailer before the demo is out. Feedback is always welcome.

Demo Out NOW! Send Them to Hell, Today!

Hello everyone!

I know posts like this can be controversial, and I completely understand why. But at the same time, I’m damn proud of myself and the artists who contributed to making this game.

There are dozens of games inspired by Megabonk out there, but Send Them to Hell is consistently being called a spiritual successor, or even the “less hot cousin” 😂

Well... we released our demo today.

In the first hour, we broke 200 downloads, and the wishlists are climbing.

Vedinad made an amazing game and left a lot of people with itches that still needed scratching. We’re here to scratch that itch.

At launch, Send Them to Hell will feature:

  • 5 Biomes
  • Full Co-op Campaign
  • Endless Mode
  • An Entire Dungeon Floor-Based Mode
  • Dedicated Weekly Challenges
  • Leaderboards
  • Unique Skins
  • Skin Creator
  • 120+ Items
  • In-Game Wiki
  • And a whole lot more

I understand the criticism. I understand the annoyance. We knew going into this that people would call it a clone.

But trust the process.

There is also an incredible amount of praise and support for STTH, and we are incredibly grateful for every person who has given the game a chance.

Send Them to Hell isn't Megabonk 2.0.

It's a polished, refined experience that takes inspiration from what works in the genre while adding our own ideas, systems, characters, modes, and twists.

At the end of the day, we all want more great games. Between Brotato, Vampire Survivors, Megabonk, and everything else this genre has given us, I’d kill for more fresh experiences too.

That’s exactly what we’re trying to make.

So if you've been curious, give the demo a shot.

It's worth the try. I promise. ❤️

After 2 years of development, our co-op survivors-like finally feels like what we set out to make. What would you want on the roadmap?

We're two devs, and we have worked on this for 2 years. With the latest patch, it finally feels like the game we wanted to make.

Core mechanics:

  • Co-op or solo dungeon runs through the tower
  • 10 elements that change your build
  • Character customization
  • Talent tree upgrades and ascensions
  • Unique weapon combos
  • A darkness timer: your light runs out over time
  • Gear with unique stats and effects
  • Room challenges, bosses, curses and daily contracts, then endless mode after the final boss

Now we want to slow down and listen before planning what's next.
As people who love this genre, what would you like to see on the roadmap?

Voltei com um trailer novo de ZOMBRA, agora mostrando mais do mundo do jogo

Compartilhei ZOMBRA aqui há alguns dias e agora tenho um trailer novo, com melhorias nos personagens e mais cenários. É o jogo de sobrevivência com zumbis em pixel art que estou desenvolvendo.

Desta vez o vídeo começa na base dos sobreviventes e passa pela cidade abandonada, pelas ruínas e pela missão de escoltar a picape da Dona Cida. Também refiz a montagem para mostrar mais movimento, hordas e chefes.

Ainda está em desenvolvimento, com foco em solo e coop online. O trailer e a lista para acompanhar o lançamento estão em https://zombra.online/
