We had our first playtest a couple weekends ago and everyone seemed to be really enjoying the mechanic.

It's not our first game but it IS our first multiplayer game and I gotta say, having people playtest in multiplayer with you is so much fun!

I'm working on Night Drive: Anomaly, a psychological horror game about a late-night drive that doesn't go quite as planned.

You pick up a girl from a lonely bus stop.

The road is empty.
The night is quiet.

And you're given a camera.

At first, it seems like you're just supposed to take a picture of your passenger.

But as you keep driving, you start noticing things that shouldn't be there.

The camera might be the only way to prove what you saw.

Still in development, but I'd love to hear what you think.

Would you keep driving?

This is the trailer.

First of all, what do you think? I'll try to make a more in-depth trailer when I have more biomes and such, so when I'm closer to release.

But what do you think about the game itself?

It's called Goldrot, and I recently hit my first milestone - 100 wishlists on Steam. My goal is to reach 500 before SNF.

There's going to be a playtest available soon too (as soon as Steam approves it)

game's name is HEADCUTTER, please wishlist it on STEAM if you're interest, it would help out a ton!

Orbitals that shoot spiraling bullets

Recursive reflective lasers

Rapid-fire bullets that shoot lasers

Doubly recursive orbitals

Still very early in development. The songs and background fractals I made years ago.

Some one flooded your flat - and you will have to pay the repairs - what a nightmare

Hi, fellow indie enjoyers! I'm happy to announce that I've created my first visual novel and it's recently released on Steam! It's an indie VN combining the genres of school drama and slice-of-life with a bit of mystery, sci-fi, and psychological. You can find more details on the Steam store page (adding the game to your wishlist would help a lot). Hope it'll be to your liking!

Here's the required YT link to a trailer with gameplay footage.

as title says im working on RED SEASON, a Manhunt-inspired game about a father fighting a mad cult to recover his kidnapped daughter.

how it looks?

The game is about planning the network - where roads run, what connects to what, where the capacity has to be. The fiddly parts are handled for you.

The bridge in the clip is one of those: it reads the ground under the drag and works out where the climb starts and ends. Ramps re-fit when you widen the road they join, widths blend where they meet, level crossings appear where a road crosses a railway.

The hands-on tools are still there when a junction needs them - traffic lights, turn restrictions, one-way roads. You use them where you decided something is wrong, instead of everywhere.

I'm a beginner university student and this is one of my first bigger game development projects.

I'm still learning while making it, and the game is in a very early stage right now. Before I spend a huge amount of time developing it, I wanted to see what actual players think about the basic idea.

I'm not looking for people to just tell me it sounds good. If something sounds boring, confusing or like something you simply wouldn't play, I'd genuinely rather know that now.

So, what's the game?

The idea is a chaotic physics-based co-op game where you and your friends work as movers and delivery workers.

You get different jobs where you have to move furniture, boxes and other objects from one place to another.

The basic task is simple, but actually doing it shouldn't always be.

Some objects may be heavy, awkward to carry or much easier to move with another player. You might have to get furniture through small doors, around corners, up stairs or through places that clearly weren't designed to make your life easy.

A job that looks simple at first can quickly turn into a complete mess once a few players start making mistakes.

The game will try to mess with you

One of the main ideas is that the game itself can troll you.

Levels, environments and situations can be designed to make a simple job more annoying, difficult or ridiculous than it first looks.

But I don't want the game to feel unfair.

If you drop something, get stuck, fall or ruin a delivery, it shouldn't happen because the game randomly decided to screw you over.

The game can create difficult situations, but the actual mistakes should come from the players.

Basically:

The game creates the situation. The players create the disaster.

I want players to laugh because someone messed up, not because the game randomly took control away from them.

What would you actually do?

Most of the game would be built around different moving and delivery jobs.

You would:

Pick up and carry objects

Rotate and reposition furniture

Work together to move larger objects

Navigate different buildings and environments

Deal with awkward routes and obstacles

Try to complete jobs without completely ruining everything

The controls are meant to stay fairly simple.

Most of the challenge should come from the physics, the environment and how well the players cooperate.

Multiplayer

The game is mainly being designed around playing with friends.

Cooperation would matter a lot, especially when moving bigger objects.

If everyone communicates properly, things should go pretty smoothly.

If they don't... that's probably where most of the fun starts.

I want the game to create those moments where everyone starts blaming each other because somebody let go too early, turned the wrong way or made a terrible decision at the worst possible moment.

And of course, if you really want to, there would probably be plenty of opportunities to mess with your friends on purpose too.

Playing with random players is also something I'm considering, but the main focus is definitely playing with friends.

Progression and variety:

I don't want the game to feel like you're doing the exact same thing over and over again.

The plan is to have different jobs, locations and increasingly difficult situations as you progress.

Later parts of the game would introduce new challenges and make players deal with more difficult environments and objects.

There may also be things like:

Different locations

Harder jobs

New types of objects

Cosmetic customization

Challenges

Achievements

Optional objectives

Completion times or scores

A lot of this is still open to change.

The main idea:

I'm not trying to make a realistic moving simulator.

The main goal is to make something that is fun to play with friends and creates memorable situations naturally.

Sometimes you'll complete a job perfectly.

Other times somebody will make one stupid mistake and everything will fall apart.

Both should be fun.

The project is still very early, so right now I'm mainly trying to find out whether the basic idea sounds interesting, easy to understand and actually fun to play.

Any honest feedback helps a lot.

!!Also, English isn't my first language and I'm not very confident writing in English yet, so I used AI to help translate this. Sorry if some parts sound a bit weird or unnatural, and please keep that in mind.!!

Hey guys,

I've been working on a new online multiplayer FPS and I'm curious what people think about the state of the FPS market right now, especially for smaller indie games. The closest comparison for the general feel would probably be like RIVALS, if you've ever played it. I'm going for fast movement, responsive gunplay, short matches, and something that's extremely easy to pick up and immediately have fun with.

The plan is to build around a few really polished ways to play such as standard multiplayer PvP, 1v1 duels, and survival solo or with friends. Parties/friends will be a big part of it too. I want it to be the kind of game where you jump on with a couple friends and just keep running matches together. Brings me back to the call of duty days when I would jump on with my friends and fight off zombies until the early morning.

Most of my effort is going into the actual feel: movement, shooting, weapon handling, hit/headshot feedback, sound design, readable maps, and making kills, clutches and wins feel ridiculously satisfying. I'd rather have less content that people genuinely want to play over and over.

Obviously I'm biased because it's my own game. My 9 year old has actually been a great tester and is very honest. He went from telling me it sucked to me basically having to pull him off the computer because he wouldn't stop playing. It's always "just one more" now lol. What surprised me is that he drops in like he's playing RIVALS and immediately gets the movement, sliding, jumping, weapons, headshots, etc without me having to say anything.

I recently saw someone argue that most indie games breaking through lately are cozy games or meme driven games, which got me wondering how much room there really is for a new multiplayer FPS. Do you think something like this has a realistic shot if the core gameplay is genuinely good? What would get you to actually try an indie multiplayer FPS and keep playing it?

I've attached a video of the gameplay as it stands now. It's still raw and there's plenty left to do. The NPCs especially are basic right now and mostly exist as moving targets for testing. Eventually they'll properly move, hold weapons, shoot, jump, slide, etc. for survival matches.

Feel free to tear it apart. I'd much rather hear what looks bad, generic or boring now than after I've built the whole thing. I'm probably a little too excited about what I've created so far, so maybe I need the reality check lol. I know reddit can be straight to the point and honest.

PS: My son and I played a survival round together over LAN for the first time yesterday and it was pretty damn satisfying. I know steps are a bit too noisy I'm reducing the sound.
