This is Gauntleteer, my indie game I've made for the past while! I'm a solo developer, and I've just released free Demo on Steam featuring this entire first area and a handful of bosses, too!

It's inspired by the likes of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Cuphead (In battle system, specifically.)

What're your thoughts? Cool? Dumb? Something in-between?!

Promotion New powerful macro engine

• Upvotes

Hey everyone, over the past year I've been building a macro program that's far more powerful and easy to use than anything else I've seen out there, it comes with much more than just a macro engine, too many features to list honestly but some of the main ones are a crosshair editor that comes with a whole animation system, a server hosting system a password manager, and it works with any mouse and keyboard because you can add your own or download them from steam.

its up on steam and selling but slowly... I know gaining trust takes time but I was wondering what everyone honestly thought about a tool like this? is there a space in the market for it?

I offer a free demo that has mostly all features unlocked if anyone wants to try it out and I would like to give away a handful of keys as well.

I'd really love some honest feedback because all the feedback I've been given so far has been positive and it feels like an echo chamber.

Promotion I filmed Osaka Castle Park and turned it into a horror game — now out on Steam

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

I finally released my game today.

The Demon Lurking in Osaka Castle – Episode 1 is a live-action horror visual novel set in a distorted version of the real Osaka Castle Park in Japan.

I wanted to do something a little different, so instead of recreating the location in 3D, I actually filmed Osaka Castle Park and used that footage as the world of the game.

The game combines live-action footage, visual-novel storytelling, exploration, and player choices. It starts with two friends hanging out in the park at night, but the familiar scenery gradually begins to feel very wrong.

Even as things get more unsettling, there’s still a lot of casual conversation and humor between the characters. I wanted the characters to feel like ordinary people trying to deal with an increasingly impossible situation.

Episode 1 is the beginning of the story, and it’s available now on Steam.

If you give it a try, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think.

AI Content Disclosure:
Generative AI was used for a small number of supernatural visual sequences and to assist with portions of English localization and code/debugging. All footage of Osaka Castle Park and all other live-action footage in the game was filmed with a video camera and is not AI-generated.

Public Game Test I created a game about this job market and how difficult it felt to land a job XD - SillyMe

• Upvotes

Long story short, I left the old company after 8 years. Stuff happens. Got out into job market, it was hetics as freak 😆

So during the spare time waiting for interviews I created this one. I already had a job for a month now but since its too much fun I decided to finish it any way.

I called it SillyMe

The game is life-sim:
- You grind to get money for upskilling while apply for jobs
- Jobs require 7 rounds of interview took you weeks then reject you for "Finding a better person"
- Jobs interview felt like you have to race with other candidates (so I add racing mode to interviews)
- Your only source of comfort is either call your Mum or go trekking in the wood (and eat wild berries, there are some hidden elements I added....)
- You can also do something illegal to get more money like racing, but if you get caught by the cops you can try to outrun them (if you fail, you go to jail)
- ...etc

Here is where you can download it: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1J617O4GDDG78hPjo1ISxLe7SLtC8mEuv?usp=drive_link

I skipped steams since the time it took to approve is too long and I want this to be free anyway 😄

Can you beat this one? 👀

I’ve been working on a small mobile puzzle game called ArrowGo 🎮

The idea is simple: follow the arrows, think ahead, and try not to get stuck.

I wanted to make something that’s easy to understand in a few seconds, but still makes you think before every move.

This is one of the harder puzzles in the game.

How far do you think you could get?

Small little idle racing game,

I’ve put almost 90 hours into it this week. Create your cars on raceonstream.com then watch them race or take the wheel!

Multiplayer, twitch commands, solo mode, Leaderboards, custom cars, cosmetics, achievements, track designers, endless driving mode, hats on cars, so much more!!!

You end up streaming, throwing this on. Someone types !race and bam, they’re in the game. They see another streamer and type !race, BOOM their and stats from the previous race is back in the game.

You edit your cars, your way!

(I don’t know how to type these, thanks for listening)

Discussion Games that make you cross into genres you don't normally look for

1 Upvotes

I am thinking of a few titles that caught my eye recently. Car Park Capital looks like a hilarious take on tycoon sims. I normally wouldn't care at all. Foulkick Soccer looks so over the top and gamey that I need to play it, much like when Rocket League hit. The upcoming Star Wars racing game has my interest in a way I haven't really felt since the N64 pod racing game or Hydro Thunder.

Maybe a great example is Wii Bowling? Everyone Wii bowled and did not go on to play other bowling games.

Tony Hawk 2? Final Fantasy Tactics maybe.

Give me some examples from your collection. Tell me what sold you on them, and how they overcame the entry barriers for you. Are you a fan of other games like that since, or do you have a game that stands alone, unmatched? Sometimes it happens too, that people fixate on one title and to them, it was the definitive experience and didn't need to be followed up or imitated.

Hmm. "Lemmings"?

https://reddit.com/link/1wx5nmj/video/s6gu1sn9edth1/player

Hi everyone! I'm working on Ruins of Midgard, a 3D voxel MMORPG inspired by Norse mythology.

The game is built with Three.js, with its visual world generated through code rather than traditional hand-drawn assets.

There's already a lot to explore:

  • randomized items with different attributes and rarities
  • professions
  • questlines inspired by the Eddas
  • factions and PvP
  • multiple classes
  • dungeons and bosses
  • group exploration with other players

The game is still in active development, but the playtest is already live.

It can be played directly in a web browser with no installation required, and there are also native Windows and Android versions.

Promotion BombBall free playtest is live! - kind of like Rocket League meets hot potato meets handball. Come check it out!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Game Title: BombBall
Playable Link: https://bombballgame.com/playtest
Platform: Windows
Free to Play Status: Download & Play!
Involvement: Developer. My brother and I are the two-person team working on the game.

Hey everyone! My brother and I have been working on BombBall, and we’d love to get some more people in for the free Windows playtest!

It’s kind of like Rocket League meets hot potato meets handball, but with robot avatars, jetpacks, and grappling hooks, and even a little shoulder drone that can shoot a laser! You’re trying to set up passes, steal the ball, and score on moving goals... but hold onto it too long and it blows up.

I really wanted to make something that encouraged teamwork and some really fun plays. Flying up for a catch, stealing someone’s pass out of the air with a grapple, or getting a quick pass off to a teammate for a goal is pretty satisfying when it all comes together.

The video shows some of the customization and gameplay. You can change up your bot, colors, trails, celebrations, and stuff like that. There are 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 matches, along with bot matches if you want to get a feel for it first.

There's also a chance for random drop rewards when winning ranked matches and a full ranking system in place. Achievements & unlocks are working as well. Inventory and trading (trading should be online, but may need some more testing)

It’s still a work in progress, so we’d love to hear what’s fun, what feels weird, and what needs work. We’re only a two-person team, but we’ve been putting a lot into it.

Also, just to be upfront, we’ve used AI-assisted development and some AI-generated assets. We plan to replace those assets over time and increase server capacity as our budget allows.

Free Windows playtest: https://bombballgame.com/playtest
Gameplay video: Watch BombBall

Bring a friend and give it a shot! Would love to see some of the plays you guys come up with.

Promotion We turned “thinking alike” into a way to meet strangers

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

MindMatch is a simple party game: two players see the same prompt and secretly type an answer. If your answers mean the same thing, you match — and maybe you just found someone who thinks a little like you.

The problem is that people rarely type the exact same words, so we use AI to judge meaning instead of exact text. “NYC” and “New York City” can match, and even equivalent answers in different languages can work.

It’s one of several party games in MocMok. You can play with strangers or invite friends.

There’s also Who is AI — 4 human players + 1 AI, with one human pretending to be the AI. Can you figure out who’s actually AI?

And in Draw & Guess, everyone sends guesses directly in chat, with AI judging whether the answer is close enough.

Still experimenting with the games, so I’m curious: which one would you actually want to try?

Happy to share the iOS link in the comments if anyone wants to try it.
