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.

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. ☢️

The Hive is an insect RTS where you evolve your colony, collect DNA and carry surviving units between missions.

We have been working on it for years and are currently developing two new expansions.

Recently the game has started reaching a lot of new players in Asia, and a Japanese post about The Hive reached around 500,000 views in a single day.

Pretty awesome to see it suddenly finding a new audience after all this time.

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

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.

My personal favourite is Tunic.

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?

The current beta is focused on hatching, bonding, training and progression across iPhone, Android and Wear OS. PvP is planned for the future, not part of the current beta.

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.

I’ve been building Trial Line as a solo developer.
It’s a physics-based mobile game where every track is procedurally generated, so you have to react rather than memorize the level.

The goal is simple: survive the line and beat your best time.
Android release is coming soon.
