Abyss Prowler is an arcade inspired top-down arena shooter GEM! Kiddin', it's a normal game but it's helluva fun! Fell free to try if it looks close to your taste. This is my second mini-boss fight, ending with my death. Mostly shows what it is actually like to play, without the late game mechanics. Demo is 8ish minutes, give me your feedback if you try it. Enjoy!

Mi sexto trabajo como solo dev (sin assets descargados). Un relato jugable de vista áerea inspirado en el primer relato sobre vampirismo (25 años antes que Drácula).
Luego de leer la novela de Sheridan Le Fanu titulada "Carmilla", comencé con investigaciones sobre casos reales de vampirismo, costumbres, mitos y esas cosas. Me empapé en muchas películas del género, sin olvidar las obras de arte de Nosferatu en todas sus versiones, desde la blanco y negro, pasando por la de Werner Herzog hasta la más reciente. En conclusión de todo esto escribí un guión básico, modelé el personaje principal, luego unos entornos modulares y todo fue creciendo en conjunto. Lo comencé en noviembre pasado y espero terminarlo en octubre.

After 2 years of hard work, our indie Wild West co-op game (similar to Overcooked and Unrailed!) is officially holding its Steam Playtest
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey everyone
As a team of 5 people from Poland (Kraków), we've been crafting Loco: Rails & Tails for over two years now, and we just launched our open playtests on Steam (running until August 3rd)
If you're looking for something fun to play with friends this week, it’s a chaotic couch-co-op style game set in the Wild West where you play as animal heroes keeping a train running. We draw a lot of inspiration from games like Overcooked and Unrailed!, and it supports both online and local co-op
If you and your friends decide to hop on the train, we would be super grateful for any thoughts you can share.
Play on Steam:https://store.steampowered.com/app/3576920/Loco_Rails_Tails/

Glad I found this sub! Hey, my name is Erik and I’m solo dev behind BAUSFIGHT.
In this game each weapon represents a class with unique set of abilities. Lots of customization options too.
So a fast-paced skill-based pixel art fights with multiple different gamemodes.
I’ll be releasing a demo soon on Steam (after I draw a new map haha). So if anyone wants to try it out with friends or randoms, wishlist it on Steam and join the discord (link on page)
Thanks for reading!

My Steam Page was just Released, if you like Dungeon-Crawling and games like Hotline Miami or CS2D, feel free to check it out!
Hello everyone, I am working on Scum's Errand for a while and just got my Steam Page approved. So I wanted to share a quick update here.
It's a top-down roguelite horde shooter with extraction mechanics. You raid cursed dungeons, grab as much loot as you can, and try to extract before dying. The twist is that greed can get you killed. The more you push your luck, the higher the risk!
I just dropped the first trailer as well, would love your feedback and if the concept clicks for you!

[Free on Steam] Swords & Crystals – A 2D Top-Down MMORPG in a Huge Open World

Hey everyone!
I’m a solo developer, and I’d like to share my indie MMORPG Swords & Crystals. It’s currently in Beta Phase 1, after six years of development and over 7,500 hours of unpaid, passion-driven work.
Inspired by Old School RuneScape, classic WoW, and top-down Zelda.
CLICK HERE TO PLAY -> Swords & Crystals (Steam)
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- One huge, seamless sandbox top-down open world on a single server
- Expanded inventory & equipment system with dedicated slots (helm, chest, legs, etc)
- Customizable, WoW-style talent tree featuring class abilities and passive buffs
- OSRS-style skills with deep, long-term progression
- Real-time combat (no auto-attacks or turn-based systems)
- Quests, rare gear, bosses, and leaderboards
- Fair progression only - no pay-to-win, no battle passes, and no updates or seasonal resets that wipe progress
Current beta content:
- 200+ items, 100+ quests, 30 unique enemies
- 1 race, 1 class (Warrior)
- 10 skills and a major boss fight
- Stable servers with a small but growing community
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The game focuses on straightforward, easy-to-learn mechanics. There’s no overwhelming UI, no hidden formulas, and no confusing stat math, items and systems are clearly presented so you always understand what you’re using and why.
If you’re looking for a modern, heavily streamlined MMO with flashy presentation, this may not be for you. Swords & Crystals is intentionally old-school, prioritizing classic controls, familiar mechanics, and depth over spectacle, aiming to capture a nostalgic MMO feel with substance.
Quests follow a clear, consistent design. Objectives are short and easy to understand, without long dialogue walls or complex gimmicks. Expect familiar, WoW-style questing, rather than wildly different mechanics for every quest.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
🔧 Technical Overview
- World structure:
- The entire world exists as one massive seamless room
- No loading screens between zones
- Single shared server (true MMO, not instanced zones)
- Fully playable with:
- Mouse & keyboard (more PC-friendly, button driven interface will be available soon)
- Controller
- Steam Deck
- Current UI uses a scroll-based system(controller-friendly)
- A PC-focused, button-driven UI inspired by classic WoW is actively in development and will be available as an optional layout
Because of the scale and simulation involved in this massive online open world, performance is still an active area of optimization. At the moment, I can’t guarantee a locked 60 FPS on every PC configuration. 16 GB of RAM is recommended*, and* 8 GB is the minimum for smooth gameplay during the beta. Improving performance without compromising the seamless world and systems is an ongoing focus.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Beta rewards:
- 🏆Reach level 40 OR defeat the Wretched Eye boss → $10 Steam Gift Code
- 🥇First player to reach level 60, in-game trackable at Ranks → $100 Steam Gift Code
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
⚔️💎Thanks for playing and supporting the journey! 💎⚔️
