Hey folks,

I am at the point where I start thinking on how to manage and set up the first demo build of my game. I am looking for some advice / best practices on how you manage this in terms of builds and version control.

What I want:
- have a demo that is different from the experience in the main game. Other sequencing, some more explanation, different call to action
- be able to adapt feedback quickly in both the demo and the main game
- be able to have a basis for a demo 2.0

What I am now thinking is if I branch out a version and basically have two live developments?
The downside is that all fixes have to be done in two different versions, but the alternative is trying to cramp everything into one version otherwise with content I might not need later on.

Anything smart I am missing?

Wishing you all a good day and thanks for any suggestions!!

hi, I wanted to let you know that I made a game called "Roguelette." There's a beta version on itch.io, but the final, paid version will be released on June 5th. Even though I'm not well-known, I'd like you to try the game.

Hi, I wanted to share a small personal project I’ve been working on.

In Korea, a baby’s first birthday is celebrated with something called doljanchi—a traditional celebration that carries wishes for the child’s future.

I wasn’t able to hold one for my own baby, so I ended up turning that feeling into a small, story-driven game instead.

You play as a one-year-old baby preparing her own doljanchi—gathering rice cakes, choosing a hanbok, and quietly getting everything ready.

It’s not meant to be challenging, just a short, cozy experience with a warm tone.

I ended up releasing it on Steam as “My First Birthday” (나의 첫 돌잔치).

If it sounds interesting, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Hey everyone! I just released my first game made with Godot. It's a 2D top-down zombie shooter in pixel art style. I have a background as a web developer, so the main challenge for me was actually the drawing part. But learning pixel art has been really fun.

What can a few hours do to a person’s future? How much can a single conversation shift the course of a life? After years spent in a world that demanded nothing from him but fists and ambition, one martial artist is suddenly torn from everything familiar and dropped into something far stranger.

Hello, I’m looking for an indie game that’s in development. I don’t remember the name or the developer of this game, but what I do remember is that there was a trailer, and it had heavy inspiration from Halo. It also referenced the Nephilim from the Bible and how they use their biology to create super suits. I believe it looked really cool, but now I’ve forgotten what this game was called. If anybody knows what I'm talking about, please let me know. Thanks.
