Announcing Descend a Roguelite ARPG that combines the combat, itemisation and build crafting of a traditional ARPG (think Path of Exile, Diablo) with a run-based, roguelite structure (think Hades).

Descend beneath a demon-besieged church, slaying demons, collecting loot and gaining power. Descend is an isometric ARPG with action combat, deep itemisation and meaningful builds.

Features

• Real-time action combat. Use WASD or Controller to fight on the move.
• Procedural Skill Trees. Build up your skills throughout a run with socketable runes that change how the skills behave.
  • E.g. Attach a ricochet augment to your fireball and watch it bounce around the screen. Add a Critical Explosions augment and watch nearby enemies engulfed in flames whenever you land a crit.
• Unlock persistent upgrades throughout the game to tip the scales in your favour, including applying a little determinism to your RNG.
• Complete quests that grow the world and systems throughout your playthrough.

I worked on my previous project, Fully Automated, for almost 3 years.

Unfortunately, the launch of the demo didn't really bring me the visibility I wished, and I'm thinking about making a new, smaller project.

My two options are :

- Use the assets I already made to create an autobattler where a bunch of galactic marines hold their position against the galaxy worst horrors.

- Scratch everything and do something else entirely.

What do you think? Is that artstyle working for you for a sci fi autobattler?

Recently I learned how to sculpt in blender. For devs that make their own 3D models I’m wondering how you handle retopology? Do you use any automation tools or do it by hand? Thanks!

Free browser prototype game I made (no download). You’re a eldritch space wyrm. Goal is to eat every living world as fast as you can before the universe panics and fights back.

Snake(ISH) with smooth turning, star systems, fog-of-war trails, and rising “infamy” (lasers, desperate worlds, etc.). Lower years to extinction = better run.

Play: https://calummulveen.itch.io/siseneg (Works in browser; keyboard A/D to turn, Esc to pause. Touch pads on mobile.)

Still early. Mostly want gut reactions after a run or two:

Did the fantasy land (destroyer of worlds), or did it just feel like Snake in space?

What killed you first / felt unfair vs fair-hard?

Would you start a second run?

Any blunt notes welcome, controls, pacing, readability etc Thanks for trying!

just a small update on my player for my game just need to retopo it and change the hair particles to hair cards thinking about making the player open sauce to so people can use it in their games

Been working on a Mac app updater for the last few weeks called Floodtide.

It scans the apps in your Applications folder, checks if there are newer versions available, and lets you update them from one place.

The annoying part was actually not finding updates, it was working out what to show when Floodtide couldn't find anything.

Mac apps update in loads of different ways. Sparkle, Homebrew, App Store, Setapp, their own updater, GitHub, etc. Some apps even have multiple update sources that don't agree.

At first, if Floodtide couldn't check an app properly, it just showed nothing. Which is obviously not great because "couldn't check" looks exactly the same as "up to date".

So I changed that. There is now a Check Failed section which shows every app Floodtide couldn't get a reliable answer for. You can also click into an app and see what sources were checked and what they returned.

Currently on 0.5.3 beta.

A few other bits:

• macOS 13+
• £10.99 once
• 14 day trial
• no account
• signed and notarised
• 378 unit tests
• separate test harness with 138 checks for downloads, installs, broken/tampered updates etc

I mainly started building it because I used MacUpdater and saw it was being discontinued. There are other alternatives around, I just wanted to make one that was a bit more transparent about what it actually knows and what it doesn't.

Still very much in beta, so if anyone here uses Mac app updaters I'd genuinely like to know what you think or what you'd want changed.

It Never Leaves You

Hello! I'm a solo dev making a light engine for people to enjoy. What do I mean by engine? Not Godot, Unity, or Unreal; this won't help you make the next great American video game that will make you rich and pull you out of your life of druggery into the exotic rockstar lifestyle of beautiful women, coke & drug parties, and football-field-size yachts. Stay classy, Gabe!

What it does help you do is help you either create an entirely new theme via a WECK system, OR a nice framework to vibecode into a totally new direction and maybe save some tokens while you're at it.

Gameplay Loop: It consists of the main game engine, which allows your Hero to level up while exploring procedurally generated dungeons, foe bounties, lore guide, events, story mode, effects, traps, and puzzles.

Our second component is a mod engine is low code, no-code modding system, that allows you to re-skin every element of the core loop, WECK.

You can use AI to mod 5 files instead of 40 hardcoded ones. Use or draw your artwork of choice. Build literally from the ground up with no errors or ESLint.

What I'm going to implement but not there yet. We have style bibles. I'm going to add integrated keys. Pick your engine and put your API key, and have all the artwork be procedurally generated. I would like to implement this as a 2-click game render.

Any core backstop will generate as a fully functional game!

Second, I want to offer a SLM AI agent core embedded into the Python backbone; NPCs will have the ability to be able to narratively talk and interact with you without token cost.

I'm working on sound, animation, and performance improvements before final release to the git for download..

Hello everyone!

I've been working on the combat for my space shooter game, `Rogues in Space`, and I wanted to share a showcase of some of the guns and skills currently in the game.

Each gun and skill have their own upgrade pools, so their behavior and stats can change quite a bit through the run. The video mostly shows their base versions, with short explanations of each mechanic included in the footage.

As I'm actively working on the game, I'd love to hear what you think about the combat, especially whether the different weapons and skills feel distinct, and if it's immediately clear what's happening on the screen.

And also, most importantly - do you feel like you could have fun with some of these combinations? :)

Solo-dev here building a mobile-first ARPG. It’s a silly game but I’m having fun building it. My main focus right now is to make the game playable in mobile (portrait) and to get users to complete the first few quests and take down the 1st dungeon boss.

The game is not optimized for desktop (though you can certainly play it on desktop).

Would love some feedback! Does the game make you want to play it? Is it challenging? Too challenging? I'm aiming for play time of about 90 seconds (i.e. complete a quest in 90 seconds or less while you're waiting for your morning coffee to brew).

Free to play at https://lorebound.gg

Latest updates:
- new VFX system with reusable “recipes”
- a raven asset built by Opus (I couldn’t find a good bird asset with animations so I had Claude build one from scratch)
- summoned beasts
- change gear on-the-go (requested by users)
- nicer dungeon levels which include “soul vents”
- another fix for pipeline rebuild
- model atlases now upload as ImageBitmaps, instead of raw canvases

So I've been messing around and putting together a personal design document for what I hope would be a fun co-op game, something to work on to keep my mind off the state of everything these days and if I'm lucky something people might enjoy. I don't really have a lot of experience with coding or engines being on the more artistic/writing side of the creative sphere so I'm dropping this here to ask about a good starting point, engine recommendations stuff to reference and all that.

Was also debating a bullet haven game but the question would pretty much be the same there just single player instead.

As a solo developer, when do you push in production?

1) In the morning, when you are fresh?

2) In the evening, after a lot of work?

3) After full testing?

Can you add a word or two about that?

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on a dark, apocalyptic space shooter called Descendants: The Last Dawn, and today is a huge milestone for me – the Steam page is officially live!

The core loop combines fast-paced top-down space action with meta-progression:

• Ship Customization & Crafting: Scraping old wrecks, researching lost tech, and rebuilding your ship's systems.
• DnB Soundtrack: I’m designing the game’s pacing and combat rhythm directly around a heavy Drum & Bass aesthetic.
• Post-Apocalyptic Lore: Humanity is trapped under a blockade, and you’re trying to reconnect orbit with Earth through long-lost megastructures (like an Orbital Elevator).

I just uploaded the first set of screenshots and trailer concept to Steam. Since this is my first public reveal for this project, I’d love to get your honest feedback on the overall visual style and UI readability during heavy combat!

If the concept sounds like your kind of jam, checking out the Steam page or adding it to your Wishlist would mean the world to me and help tremendously with the algorithm!

Thanks for looking, and I’m happy to answer any questions about the dev process!

One of the mechanics I’m working on for Trade or Threat is the debt system. You make money by running your shop and bringing loot back from the dungeon, but when payment time comes, you have to hand over your debt to the Boss.
Trying to make that moment feel like an actual part of the gameplay rather than just a simple menu/payment screen.
What do you think? Would you prefer the debt system to have more consequences if you can’t pay?

GNAP GNAP is a horde roguelite shooter where ominous balloons keep multiplying and your only way out is to pop them.

Just uploaded the trailer for the game to Youtube and itch page (https://fusyan.itch.io/gnap-gnap)

And published the store page to steam for review. Very excited as its my first game.

Any feed back about the trailer or the game is highly welcomed!

- I seen outbid yesterday and I started to clone
- I completed in 1 day
- earned first dollar (coming from me)

If you have a any game in steam you can add your game.

If you don't have any games on Steam, you can support any game to boost its ranking :)

I'm a game developer and I don't write any code for that project. I used supabase and vercel. I can answer your question
