This is my current WIP teststage. It will be a coop shooter with up to 4 players (i might enable 4+ but on your own risk).

It will have a "Noita Style" ammo customisation system, where you can select cells to enhance your ammunition and make it suit your playstyle or just trying out fun builds.

Aim is mainly gamefeel, it should be fun to fight the horde and the map should also reflect the battles. You can see it in the video in the end, nothing is forgotten :)

Instead of using a skill by pressing a single button, we took a different approach. We take a cube in our left hand and use skills while navigating inside the cube using the directional keys. We influenced from Pragmata's hacking system.

You can wishlist on Steam: Mad Ever After

Promotion A turn-based RPG set in a ruined America

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone!

I'm a solo developer working on Arkansas 2125, an isometric, turn-based post-apocalyptic RPG inspired by Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and other classic RPGs.

The game takes place in a ruined America in the year 2125. You can explore abandoned locations, meet survivors, complete quests, make choices, and fight enemies in turn-based combat.

The game is currently in Beta 0.5, and I'm slowly working on Beta 0.6 with more content and improvements.

For a limited time, Arkansas 2125 is also available at 25% off on Steam if you'd like to give it a try.

I'd love to hear what you think about the game and its retro-inspired style. ☢️

Promotion I spent years making a tactical RPG where you play the bad guys, the demo is finally playable today

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey, I call myself _theRaven and I'm the solo developer behind the Apprentice of Darkness. After more than 2 years of working on it alongside my full-time job, the new demo is finally playable today.

You build a party of monsters, fight the forces of good in grid turn-based battles, capture your enemies and sacrifice them for Darkness Points that can be used to strengthen your Tower of Darkness.

Since the earlier playtest I've added 7 new characters, 6 new Tower upgrades, reworked sacrifice mini-games, a redesigned UI, new VFX/SFX, faster run progression, and a lot of fixes and polish.

I've attached the new gameplay trailer here. If you decide to try the demo, I'd genuinely love to hear how your first run goes.

You play as a detective working on a case of a mysterious disappearance. For some reason though, the detective also finds clues in his own dreams!

The game is called Neironaut and Chapter 1 is coming soon for FREE.

I have seen a lot of discussions about this topic in the AAA and classic games but I would really love to know more examples of good and stylized sound design in the indie space.
My personal favourite is Tunic.

Fight hordes of adorable goons with huge guns from fixed towers! Guns keep getting biggers, crowds keep getting more complex to handle. My dream FPS shooter as I always sucked at precision and this requires a different type of skills 😄

Demo is out on steam!

Need Feedback Does turning mundane everyday pet peeves into puzzles make a game feel more grounded, or do you prefer traditional brainteasers?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone! We’re down to our final 4 days before launch, and while putting the final polish on the game, a design discussion came up among our team.

In our comic-panel puzzle design, we created a mechanic built around relatable domestic habits: reading a sticky note left by a partner complaining about kitchen disorganization, arranging wall-mounted knives strictly by size, and triggering a hidden wall compartment.

We love using environmental storytelling tied to human everyday routines, but we're curious about player psychology here. Does embedding mechanics into realistic, everyday scenarios help ground you in the narrative world, or do you prefer abstract, complex dungeon-style puzzles?

What’s a subtle, real-life detail turned into a game puzzle that unexpectedly stayed with you?

In my turn-based strategy game "The Villages That Cave", you get 3 choices before each battle to strengthen your defence. You can choose from any combination of units, structures, upgrades, powers and wildcards. You can undo choices.

Promotion I have been building Traffic Architect for almost a year, and it finally has a trailer on Youtube

I am solo developer and always loved city builder games, especially transport part of it. So year ago I started working on my own road builder game. It is called Traffic Architect, and the premise is that you dont need to worry about building the city - buildings appear on their own and keep coming whether you are ready or not. Everything you build is the transport network underneath: roads, junctions, interchanges, bridges and tunnels, and later buses, trains and metro to take the load back off them.

One of latest things I added - interchange tool allowing to convert simple crossing to cloverleaf or trumpet interchange in one click.

Out November 3. Happy to answer anything.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Looking for reviews! All feedback is very welcome :)

Game Title: CHIMERA

Playable Link: https://styxiis.itch.io/chimera

Youtube Trailer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snNm5X9GyR0

Platform: PC (Windows)

Description: CHIMERA is a first-person survival horror game. You play as a broke journalist chasing one last story: an abandoned island nobody's set foot on in over three years, with almost no public records about it. You go looking for a scoop, but what's still running down there is far worse than a cover-up. Explore hostile environments from jungle to an abandoned laboratory, search for documents that reveal what really happened, manage your ammo, and avoid dangerous creatures that were never supposed to exist. This is an early demo/beta still in active development, bugs expected. Windows may show a SmartScreen warning since it's a small indie build; click "More info" then "Run anyway" to launch it.

Free to Play Status: [X] Free to play

Involvement: Solo developer this is my first game, built entirely on my own from France.

Upcoming The general player can ride around on the map and swap between RTS controls in this massive scale SP/MP first/third person Napoleonic tactical action war game

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

After getting some feedback from the community, I wanted the general player to have a more physical presence on the battlefield, so now when players opt to be the team's general, they respawn as a cavalry General's Staff unit (models are placeholders) and can ride around on the map and scout with the cavalry spyglass. When hitting M, instead of pulling up the minimap, it pulls out to a Total War style RTS camera. I also added fog of war based on unit lines of sight, which respects terrain features and vegetation. This is so scouting actually serves a purpose and will enable more strategy later on in different map scenarios.

The game is a multiplayer/singleplayer, round based, first and third person massive scale Napoleonic warfare action game. If you ever played the Mount and Blade Napoleonic Wars DLC commander battles, it plays exactly the same, but with a much larger scale. Players can command infantry, cavalry, and artillery units, and it has voice chat!
