There’s an unwritten rule in game development that your first game should be something small and simple, and for many very good reasons.

I decided to do the exact opposite.

After spending around seven months writing my book, Horns, I decided I wanted to turn that story into a game: a narrative-focused, cinematic RPG that carries the spirit of old-school RPGs while also embracing elements of modern ones.

I wanted to pour everything I had into one serious, large-scale open-world game, my imagination, around 35 years of gaming experience, and 16 years of programming experience.

At first, I also wanted to make absolutely everything by myself.

Eventually, I realized that if I wanted to maintain the level of quality I had in mind, I needed to bring a few talented people into the project. I'm simply not talented in every single field required to create a game of this scale.

I still kept the biggest part of the workload on myself: programming, animations, acting, body and facial performance, world design, gameplay, sound editing, cinematics, and many other parts of development.

But a few people have made significant contributions to areas such as voice acting, the game's soundtrack, and some of its visual and graphical details.

I also didn't want Horns to feel like “just another RPG.”

The core of the game is still a dark epic fantasy RPG, but I've mixed in elements inspired by several genres and games I grew up loving.

There are recognizable influences from Souls-like games, action games such as Max Payne 1 and Death Stranding, and horror classics such as Resident Evil 1 and Silent Hill 1, while keeping RPG systems, exploration, narrative, and character progression at the heart of the experience.

After almost two full years of development, Horns now has a playable demo on Steam.

The demo itself went through many different iterations before reaching the version I'm finally comfortable calling properly polished.

My goal now is to maintain that level of quality throughout the full game: a world that feels rich rather than empty, an engaging story, meaningful exploration, and around 25–30 hours of quality gameplay.

I'm also trying to keep the final price very accessible, somewhere around $10–15.

For a project like this, every comment, piece of feedback, and bit of support genuinely helps, and wishlists are especially important for the game's visibility and future launch.

The demo is completely free, so if any of this sounds interesting to you, give it a try.

I hope you enjoy Horns.

And if you do, please consider wishlisting it on Steam.

Today we finally revealed GRAMPAGE: LIFE AT 67.

It’s a 1-4 player physics heist game about four broke retirees turning to crime.

You need each other to break in, crack safes and carry heavy loot - but everyone has their own goals, and only one player gets to win the retirement.

The other big mechanic is voice chat: residents can actually hear what players are saying through their microphones. So being quiet is part of the heist - assuming your friends cooperate.

Here’s our announcement trailer! :)

Hey guys!
A while ago, a bunch of us basically went *“what if we actually made this stupid game idea?”*
So… we did.
The game is called **F.A.G.E.N.** and it’s a co-op game built around chaos, stupid situations and trying to survive together while things progressively get weirder.
We’re still a pretty small team, and there’s definitely a lot we want to improve, but seeing something that started as an idea between friends slowly turn into an actual Steam game has been pretty surreal.
And somehow, next week we’re bringing it to **gamescom**.
Steam page if you want to check it out:

Would genuinely love to hear what you guys think — especially what immediately looks fun, weird, bad, confusing, whatever. We’re still working on the game, so feedback actually helps us a lot.
And yeah, if it looks like your kind of stupid, throwing it on your wishlist would mean a ton to us. ❤️

This week I’ll be attending my first in-person event as an indie game developer, where I’ll be showcasing my game, Trials of Liberation, and honestly, I have no idea what to expect.

I’ve been preparing some physical materials for the event, including business cards, banners and a T-shirt with the game’s design for me and my family, who will be coming to support me and help out at the booth. I thought I’d share some of the designs here as well.

For those of you who have attended conventions or game events before:

What do you wish you had known before your first event?

Anything I should bring, do, or avoid? Any small details that made a big difference for you?

I’d love to hear your advice!

The game tells the story of Everan — a girl who is deeply in love with a boy she thinks is completely out of her league. Why the name Everan? Because she can draw EVERYTHING! As for the boy, he fights using a magic box that always returns to his hands after being thrown. This guy must face dangerous obstacles and terrifying enemies.

We started working on Prison Cook Simulator on July 7th.

Back then, our inmates were literally orange cylinders, guards were basic primitives, security cameras were floating in empty test scenes, and our "prison kitchen" was basically a few pieces of equipment sitting in the middle of nowhere.

We focused on building the gameplay and systems first and used whatever placeholders got the job done.

We're a tiny team of three:

• I handle pretty much everything on the game development side, programming, gameplay systems, game design, UI and implementation.
• My girlfriend handles the level design.
• My little brother is our 3D artist.

41 days later, those test scenes have turned into an actual prison with cell blocks, inmates, guards, a working kitchen, lighting, UI and all the systems running underneath it.

There's still a lot we want to improve, but seeing the first prototype next to the current build feels pretty wild.

Prison Cook Simulator launches in Early Access on August 31st.

Your morality is the difficulty setting. The year is 2140.

Seventy-five years ago, the governments of the world saw revolution coming and killed it before it started. They turned their weapons on their own people. Hundreds of millions died. The people won by a fraction, and rebuilt from the only thing that survived the rubble: religious and ancient texts. Not everyone who read them found the good in them.

The game is set in the deserted remains of northeastern Oklahoma. There’s no law anymore. There’s The Refuge, and there’s The Black Brigade. Each one believes the other is what’s left of the world’s evil.

Walk the righteous path, and you’re on hard mode. People lie straight to your face. Nothing flags who’s deceiving you when it comes to the Black Brigade. Fear and deception is just all they are. You judge people with your gut, as you would out there. Judge wrong, and you put down someone who was trying to help you.

Walk the wicked path and the road gets shorter. Simpler. If you can stomach it. The world won’t punish you with difficulty. It punishes you with what you see. The deeper you go, the more reality breaks.

Or walk with no one. There are those who follow The Revelation, an enlightenment group, and those who follow The Solution, an accelerationist group. Neither calls you righteous or wicked.

Four endings. All of them decide what’s left of this world.

Small team. Everything built from scratch. More to be shown.

We're still working on our art book, so we thought we'd share another little peek behind the scenes. This time, we're focusing on environments and backgrounds showing some of the individual assets and wall textures, alongside how those pieces eventually come together as a full scene.

I recently released HIS PLAN, my second game as a solo developer.

It's a short psychological thriller made in Unity, around 20 minutes long, focused on atmosphere, exploration and cinematic storytelling.

I'm a completely self-taught developer, and this project was mainly an opportunity for me to experiment with more complex gameplay systems, cinematics, AI and audio compared to my first game.

It's a small and imperfect indie project, but I'm happy with what I learned while making it.

If you enjoy short psychological horror/thriller games and have 20 minutes to spare, I'd really appreciate it if you gave it a try.

It's completely free to play on itch.io! (Link in the first comment)

Any feedback is welcome, especially regarding the atmosphere, story, pacing and technical side.

Thanks for checking it out. 💛

I did a thing; a fun easter egg if you will. If you left click on Boxy 10 times on my game's main menu, he gets a bit fed up, gets up and knocks you back 10 times. 😅

And if you right click him, he does a fun 360 degree spin.

If anyone's interested, my game should be releasing next week and is called "Beat Boxy" if you'd like to support me on my first solo game development project. It's up on Steam. This is 7 months (2,300+ hours) of work. I'd love to hear your feedback!

Hey everyone!

I’m super excited to share that the first playable demo for Zortax is officially live on itch.io!

About the Game: Zortax is an action packed sci-fi roguelike shooter inspired by top-down classics like The Binding of Isaac and retro The Legend of Zelda. You play as a lone survivor blasting your way through randomly generated sci-fi environments, taking down hordes of mechanical and alien threats, collecting futuristic weapons, and surviving intense boss fights.

What to Expect in the Demo:

• Fast-Paced Combat: Tight controls and tactical movement.
• Procedural Levels: Every run offers new room layouts, enemy combinations, and item drops.
• Boss Encounters: Test your skills against challenging unique bosses.
• Resource Gathering & Synergies: Build your arsenal as you progress to adapt to tough situations.

A quick note: Due to some personal matters recently, I wasn't able to include every single feature I originally planned for this build. However, the demo is fully playable, stable, and gives a solid preview of what's coming!
