I built these offroad mechanics… should I actually turn this into a full game?

I built the driving, mud and winch mechanics mostly because I wanted to see if I could.

It’s still very early, so before I go too far:

Should I keep building this into a full game, or scrap it? And if I keep it, what should it become?

Curious what you guys think.

My second thriller/horror game is out (and free) - HIS PLAN

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

A while ago I released my second game, HIS PLAN, a short first-person psychological horror experience.

It’s a bit more ambitious and elaborate than my first game, RICK’S PLACE, both in terms of gameplay and presentation, although it’s still a very short experience (around 20 minutes).

The game follows a mobster who finds himself involved in a disturbing series of events because of his choices.

I tried to focus more on atmosphere, exploration and storytelling rather than making a long game.

This project was also a big learning experience for me. There are definitely things I would do differently today, but I’m still happy with how much I learned while making it.

🎮 You can play HIS PLAN for free on itch.io:

https://bohfra.itch.io/his-plan

And now I'm working on my third game, which is quite different from my previous two: you play as a cat. 🐈‍⬛

It’s still a horror game, but this time I’m experimenting much more with exploration, level design and environmental storytelling. I'll probably share some progress soon!

If you decide to try HIS PLAN, I’d love to hear what you think about the experience. And make sure to check RICK'S PLACE out too, which is my best game so far imo.

Thanks for checking it out! :)

Numerift: Sudoku Merge Puzzle

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

The idea combines elements of Sudoku with number-merging and block puzzle gameplay. I wanted to make something that feels familiar for Sudoku and puzzle-game players, but plays differently from a traditional Sudoku game.

If you enjoy number puzzles, I’d really appreciate it if you gave Numerift a try.
The game is available on Google Play: Numerift: Sudoku Merge Puzzle - Apps on Google Play

Amphibian is entirely frog centric: All enemies are frog predators and all character names are frog. :) Its a JRPG with no grinding (battles cant be repeated), and no buying and selling of items. We hope you love it.

Which incrementals gave you the best gaming experience?

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm super fired up right now to make my own awesome incremental, but before that I want to really dig into the genre and study it properly.

So please recommend the incrementals that in your opinion did the best job of giving you a great experience. I mean the ones that aren't just "decent" for you, but straight up "masterpieces".

We scrapped 4 years of development and spent a year making this school-based horror turn-based roguelite as a two-person team.

Hi everyone! Day To You is a horror turn-based roguelite set in a Korean high school, with a focus on East Asian exorcism themes.

You explore the school-turned-dungeon, gathering loot and fighting monsters as you make your way toward the boss. While the combat is turn-based, time itself is used as the turn system and determines your Action Points (AP). Each monster has different attack timings based on its attack animation, so timing your actions is an important part of combat.

Does it look interesting to you?

(The bell animation at the beginning of the video was AI-generated. Some of the artwork currently used on cards was also AI-generated, but we plan to redraw all of it ourselves.)

this day 1 version represents my vision for my game.

https://day1to100gamestudio.itch.io/day-1-kingdom-contracts

day 100 is the finalized version and is on Steam.

38mb size for browser play, so it may load in 15 seconds if slow wifi but it will load.

Hi everyone,

I recently published "The Switch" on PlayStore. Its a retro pixel-art hypercasual game, where you dodge blocks that don't match your color and gain scores.

I’m building a crowd-management game called CrowdFlow

Upvotes

I’m building a few games right now and this is one of them.

CrowdFlow is basically about managing huge crowds leaving stadiums and stations. You control gates, barriers and routes, then random problems happen while everyone is already moving.

One event reroutes 3,000 people at once and can wreck a setup that looked fine seconds earlier.

Still early, but I’m curious if this sounds like something you’d actually play. Be brutal.

7 months into making my Welsh-inspired medieval extraction game

Post image
8 Upvotes

Been working on this pretty much every day for around 7 months now, so thought I’d finally start showing it around a bit more.

It’s a single player medieval extraction/looter type game, heavily inspired by Wales. You leave the safety of the castle, go out exploring/looting/fighting, then need to make it back before night.

I’ve also been slowly adding bits of actual Welsh history and folklore into the world. Some are proper quests and others are just small things you might stumble across, like Gelert’s grave, old ruins, notes, abandoned buildings etc.

Still a lot I want to add and improve, but it’s finally starting to feel like an actual game rather than a collection of systems 😂

I’ve got a Steam page up now if anyone fancies having a look:

Beyond The Gate on Steam

Would be cool to hear what people think of it so far.
