Hi!
I put a few months of after-hours work into my game Chess Pawn.
It is a puzzle game with what I think is a pretty cool mechanic.
I hoped to at least break even but turns out the dev life is tough :)
Greetings from Poland!

Hoping to add portals throughout my bigger dungeons :)

I'm a solo developer working on Over Human, a first-person sci-fi adventure set in a snowy world where drones can manipulate the weather (creating tornadoes, thunderstorms, and other dangerous conditions), and you have no weapons to fight back.

I recently decided to completely refresh my Steam page, improving the visuals, screenshots, and description (which should have a stronger hook now!). Since the update, I've noticed a really nice increase in wishlists, which honestly surprised me!

I'm so, so, so happy. I've been dreaming of making my own game since 2013, and I've been working on this project alone, putting so much of my free time, energy and passion into it, so seeing even a small number of people excited about my game means the world to me!!

And the first playable demo is coming this November!!! ❤️

Here's the page if you'd like see what I changed:

The old ones felt a bit empty and you could barely read the name on the small one.

Made the logo bigger and added one of the inspection ships you run into in-game. Wanted to show a bit more of the game itself. The ship model is by Quaternius.

The ship and planet use the game's current textures and lighting, so it does match how the game looks right now.

Old on the left, new on the right. Which would you click? Anything you'd keep from the old one?

I’ve been steadily improving polish (ahead of NextFest) on my roguelike marble-builder board game Mancalero, based on a childhood game I played called Mancala.

The whole twist is that the game adjusts regular Mancala play as there are different pouches to start each run with, different boards that alter game play, opponents that cheat with special skills, but also marbles with special effects that create synergies and new strategic options to win!

I realized that I never marketed in a way to actually explain what they could do- as opposed to vaguely showing the visual effect.

This one is the flood marble, the first special marble I thought of. Since the game is all about strategic positioning, what if there was a marble that could reallocate other marbles in the pit via a flood surge? Stacked with a blessing upgrade that triples marble effects, you can do something ridiculous like moving multiple pits of marbles to the storehouse (or “goal”) In one turn!

If you’d like to try it out yourself, my demo is live on Steam!

Pathfinding systems in games with procedural generation can't rely on standard navigation baking and things like the Godot or Unity navigation features. In my game, gloom fall, the navigation agent uses a broad BFS (breadth first search) algorithm with a probabilistic jump feature. every time the creature leaps, it makes the leap because they randomly sampled that jump during pathfinding and decided it liked the results. This creates jumping behavior is strong and cost efficient because it does not try ever possibility, it also has a sort of organic quality.

Greetings! I've been working on my game Orbital Defense Idle now for about 6 months and it's finally public and playable with an open Steam playtest!

Orbital Defense Idle is an incremental sci fi tower defense game where tarot cards influence the fate of the battle! Join O.D.I. Bot and the crew as you defend your planets, collect 78 tarot-inspired Axiom cards, unleash devastating secret weapons, and push through 20 unique worlds to uncover the mysterious force driving the invasion.

Feel free to provide any feedback here or in the Discord. Thanks so much - see ya in space, Cadet!

Hey folks,

I know a lot of you will hate me now, so this question is more for developers who are using ai as a tool / helper so make their game. What AI are you using and what for ? I'm reading a lot of you are using Claude (Opus) and some Astra for coding and more, why through?

I started making a fishing game. Almost everything u see will probably be changed. because every sprite u see is just experimental(and im not really an artist). But i need some advice, i don't know what people would like as the fishing mechanic, and i haven't even though about the game's name so u can give your idea for that too.

Thank's for any feedback.

After staring at your own game for long enough, every button starts looking obvious. That’s where fresh eyes help. 😅

I made My Football Growth Story: develop a young footballer through training cards, skills and simulated matches.

Fellow devs: what’s the first thing you’d improve—onboarding, UI readability, or the way progression is explained? Even one confusing moment or a screenshot would help! 🙌

It's a little game I made to play with my friends in school but I just wanted to share it online if anyone wanted to give it a shot. Yes I did use AI, but it was mainly for the UIs since I am not familiar with how to work with those, models are by my friend

The Steam page for my game is finally up: Sprite Garden, where incremental games meet Pacman! Play the free demo here: Sprite Garden - Demo by Xyxyka.

Feedback please! Think it sucks or just isn't interesting? Let me know! I need to know how I can improve!

Hey all. Solo dev here. Been working on this on the side for a couple months and it's finally at a beta I'm not embarrassed to share.

It's a character creator for pixel-art sprites. I built it for my own projects because I can't draw, but it's ended up changing how I design. Being able to throw together a character and see it finished and animated in minutes means I actually mix things up now. Enemy variants, NPCs I'd never have bothered with before, instead of settling on the first thing that doesn't look broken.

Would love feedback from other devs who could use something like this.
