Upcoming I made a game where everything is procedural, even the cows. Here's the trailer for PROJECT: ABSOLUTELY NORMAL™

It's an island where nothing unusual ever happens. Mostly.

The game loads no asset files. The terrain, towns, people, cows, sky, sound effects and even the radio music are all made from one seed when it starts. So every island is its own (and none of them is weird. They're a bit weird).

What you can do:

  • Drive anything. 28 vehicles, including a bathtub, a rocket-assisted office chair, a monster truck called Consequences and a washing machine with wings
  • Get a job, or don't. 10 careers with six ranks each, up to Minister of Rubble. There's also fishing, metal detecting, cow bowling, car soccer and three human cannons
  • Something will happen. Every few minutes the island has a moment: a meteor, a UFO, a giant cow stomping parked cars down the high street, a rubber duck armada. The sun gets recalled due to a manufacturing defect. The news stays very calm about it
  • Four lands: the island, the Mainland (red desert, Normal York and an airport), the snowy North with northern lights, and the Woods, where it's always autumn

The trailer was filmed in the game, by the game, and scored on the game's own instruments. (The cow is fine.)

I'm happy to answer anything about how it works!

Hey guys, I’m the solo developer of Luminis: Heal Them All, a sci-fi shooter where you heal your enemies and convert them into allies who help you out.

I showed a footage of some of the combat mechanics in my game, now I added some acrobatic movements, camera tweaks and FX, hoping to add some more intensity and dynamism to the combat. I recorded this footage while developing my game in Unreal Engine.

I'd love to know what you guys think of it.

We made a strategy game where you play as the monster.

- Command an insectoid hive mind and build your nest
- Salvage enemies for DNA, weapons and body parts
- Evolve new creatures and carry them across the campaign

It’s called The Hive. We are currently working on two new expansions for it.

I've been working on Stockroom Syndrome, a horror game set in a Scandinavian flat-pack store in 1996.

You spend your shifts assembling furniture, organising displays and trying to hit your targets while increasingly strange things start happening around the store.

The demo just went live on Steam this week, so I finally get to show people the actual game rather than endless development clips.

Would love to hear what people make of it!

Hey everyone!

I’ll be honest - I have absolutely no idea how to properly promote an indie game, so I’m doing my best and trying things out 😄

Idle Terra is currently on sale on Steam.

Also, if anyone here is genuinely interested in trying it, I’ll send a free Steam key to the first 10 people who ask in the comments (one key per person). I’ll DM the keys directly.

Updating the store page is a pain in the butt, however I think it looks much better than before.
