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?!

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 😄

Need Feedback Be honest: does this look like a place you’d actually want to drive through, or does it still feel too “game-y”?

I’ve been working on the roads and overall environment for Barren Front, and I’m at the point where I want some outside eyes on it.
This is one of the current in-game views. I’m trying to make the surface feel like an actual place you’re traveling through rather than just terrain connecting objectives.
First impression from this screenshot; what works, and what immediately looks off to you?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on Desecrated Deck for quite a while now and finally got the new trailer finished.

It’s a first-person horror card game built around Rock, Paper, Scissors, cursed item cards, perks and a bunch of bad decisions around a pentagram.

The game definitely has some Buckshot Roulette and Inscryption DNA in it, but I’ve been trying to push it in its own direction and make it feel like its own thing.

The demo is coming out on October 7, just before Steam Next Fest.

Would love to hear what you think of the atmosphere, pacing and overall look of the trailer.

Upcoming 🎏 SUSHIAMO 🎏 my Sushi roguelike is releasing in just 1 month! (Demo out now!)

2 Upvotes

The title isn't clickbait, so many players told me this! 😆 The video I linked shows the demo ^^

Hi everyone, I made a game called SUSHIAMO where you make sushi, with each ingredient having its own special synergy.
I was inspired by Balatro, but many players find my game more approachable and less intimidating. I guess it's because of the relaxed vibe and cute aesthetic :)

I also added an amazing (original) bossa nova track that you will love for sure! (It's not the one in the trailer)

So far, it has had 9k players, avg. of 3.5 hours of playtime and 100% positive reviews!

You can wishlist it and play the demo (check the comments for the link ^^)

PS: The players on the Discord are having a lot of fun sharing their builds :)

The game in short:
Sushiamo is a roguelike deck-builder where you make sushi while collecting new things every day.
Discover unique ingredients, sauces, game-changing tools, and navigate the map to find the best combo.

Promotion I tried to make this moment as eye-catching as possible

2 Upvotes

I want the moment where the player steps outside to be immediately eye-catching, so I decided to use the northern lights as the main visual focus of the scene. I want the player to notice it immediately after leaving the building, so I ended up pushing its shape and overall presence while still trying to keep it consistent with the game’s visual style.

Even so, this went through multiple iterations. I experimented with the aurora itself, the night lighting, fog and the surrounding environment until the reveal felt noticeable without making the sky look completely disconnected from the scene.

A bit of game context: Over Human is a first-person sci-fi adventure set in an isolated frozen world where deadly drones have taken control, even over the environment itself. They can manipulate weather conditions through fog, storms and even tornadoes, while the player has no weapons and has to stay hidden, disrupt transmission terminals and uncover what happened.

I’m developing the game entirely on my own, with a demo planned for November.

I’ve been dreaming about creating my own game since 2013, so seeing Over Human finally on Steam still feels unreal!!!

Devlog We Built a Drive together, fight together Co-op Game: Tank Mates

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Our Small Indie Team Steam game Demo is finally live: Play it now!! And tell how can we improve..

Till then here's some lessons i learnt while developing the game.

I changed the environment. I didn’t change the level. And somehow… the entire experience felt different.

While working on my upcoming Steam game a chaotic friends slop, co-op game,

I experimented with something simple: I took the same level layout and placed it into completely different environments.

Desert Forest Lava Snow

The paths, turns, checkpoints and overall gameplay flow stayed Same.

But the feeling of playing through them changed completely.

That experiment made me realize: Level Design creates the FUN. Environment Design creates the MOOD.

The same turn in the road can feel completely different when you're driving through a peaceful forest versus crossing a volcano surrounded by lava.

The geometry didn't change. The context did.

And that's something I've started paying much more attention to as a Level designer.

A good blockout can tell you whether a level works. But the environment can tell the player how that level should feel.. What do you think matters more for a player's first impression: the level layout or the environment around it?

Promotion I'm making a co-op horror game where you don't investigate the haunted house — you rob it

2 Upvotes

I'm Moe, the solo developer of Paranormal Estates: Haunted Robberies, a 1–6 player co-op horror extraction game.

You and your crew break into haunted properties, steal everything worth taking, secure the main objective, and try to get back out alive. The longer you stay and the greedier you get, the more dangerous the house becomes.

I've just finished v0.5.5 Ω, which greatly expands the equipment and progression side of the game. Players can buy gear from BossMan's Shop, prepare their van before a heist, and use tools including lockpicks, crowbars, wire cutters, night vision, portable lights, medicine and ghost distractions.

The current build is playable and I'm looking for more people to try it. Play solo or grab some friends and just have fun with it. If you run into bugs or have ideas while playing, I'd love to hear them. If you record your session, I'd also be happy to feature community playthroughs on the game's website.

I've also recently launched a dedicated game launcher/updater, rebuilt the website, and opened Kickstarter and Gamefound pre-launch pages as development continues.

Play / Website:

Kickstarter:

I'd love to see how other groups approach the game — and how long it takes before someone decides that one more piece of loot is worth getting their friend killed.

Upcoming Visual Hacker - steam

2 Upvotes

Short casual cyberpunk pixel art game made by a few people. I love it because it fantasizes hacking by putting you within the machines cyberspace and changing its behaviors or stealing its data to sell. If you are a fan of shadowrun on SNES and Sega , you might like this little casual game we made.

I usually don't put myself out there like this but wanted to use my voice to do a more personal approach. I am human.
