3 years ago released for Switch, released on PS4 this week, rRootage Reloaded is a remaster and port of the open-source classic rRootage, which has been ported over the years to things like mobile phones,homebrew psp and vita. The original game, released around 2001, was made by Kenta Cho, a japanese developer who makes his games opensource and released for free. To make this port, i got permission from him.

Switch link: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/rrootage-reloaded-switch/

PS4 link: https://store.playstation.com/es-es/product/EP2948-CUSA48348_00-0135012042162249/

Original PC website (old version): https://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/windows/rr_e.html

rRootage is a game that distills bullet hell bosses to the core. The game uses an advanced procedural system to create different bullet patterns for each of its levels. It has 40 levels per game mode, and 4 game modes that take inspiration from various bullet hell classics. People often put it as one of the best bullet hell games ever made, and great as a training aid.

The ports were created as a side project to get experience working with the platforms. The 20 year old codebase was brough to modern standards, and then ported to Switch. Couple years later i ported it to PS4 too. As the game is original open source, the PC version of reloaded can be found on github and some of its improvements have been implemented back into the original repository. https://github.com/vblanco20-1/rrootage/tree/reloaded

The original PC version is still free and available from github or from kenta cho website.

Comparing Reloaded to the original, Reloaded natively runs at higher resolutions by default, supports game controllers, and implements a system to adapt the game to run at 60 fps with time dilation to emulate the behavior where the game slows down in FPS as the screen gets full of stuff (the game is balanced around this slowdown). The graphics have been recoded to improve performance on modern PCs and the consoles. Its likely is is the smallest game on both nintendo switch and ps4 stores, at ~25 megabytes install.

If you want to read about the specifics of the development of the port, i wrote an article here on my blog. http://victor.madtriangles.com/code%20experiment/2021/10/07/rrootage-port.html

Hey folks!

I wanted to share a game I've been working on for little over two years with a small talented team. It's a somewhere between Untitled Goose Game and Goat Simulator with the charm of Katamari or Donut County!

It's also a spiritual successor to our last game Rain on Your Parade if you played that ;)

In this level-based, sandbox-y adventure game, you must become the coolest bird in town by earning trust of new animal friends. Complete varied tasks using numerous tools, from annoying leafblowers to mighty baseball bats and blowtorches. Solves puzzles and build up your Crowputation across diverse settings, such a quaint French Riviera, Ancient Egypt, or bustling New York.

Oh, and don't forget to traumatize some humans on your way ;)

Spread your wings and have a beak-tastic time customizing your adorable/menacing crow appearance!

Highlights

• Explore 10 unique and sandbox-y levels
• Customize your crow with cute hats, scarves, and more
• Eat delicious foods and discover new "poop modes"
• Use variety of tools and objects you pick up
• Meet eccentric animal friends and earn their trust

Coming to PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox and Playstation! Release date TBA

Check out Demo or just Wishlist right on our steam page!

Hello !

I'm Refi, a solo indie developer working on Emberward.

Emberward is a roguelite tower defense game that focuses on maze building and unique towers. The main feature is planning and building mazes with tetromino blocks. I love TD games that allow players to control the monsters' path, but for some reason there have been fewer of them in recent years, so I decided to make one myself!

Last week, I updated the demo with new content added over the last 3 months. There's a new lightning ball tower, a rune system that makes your block cards more powerful, and tons of QoL upgrades. Please give it a try (even if you've already played the demo before!) and share your feedback with me! If you enjoy the demo, please share the game with your friends and streamers. Any help means a lot to me as a solo developer!

What's special about the game:

• Roguelite tower defense. You collect towers, wall blocks and relics throughout each run, facing a variety of maps and quests.
• Maze building with tetromino blocks. Almost every feedback survey tells me they love it. I'm really proud of how this worked out!
• Uniquely designed towers. Includes poison gates that rain poison on enemies, drone towers that track monsters, and massive, powerful 2x2 towers. And, ever seen a dice tower made from 20-sided dice?
• Relics, runes, talents, level mechanics. Trying my best to make every run as fun as possible.
• Boss levels! Each boss has its own strategy. For example, the first boss >!you can weaken it with your towers on minecarts, and choose either to prepare an elaborate maze or attempt to burst it down!<.

Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy the game!

You can wishlist the World's Worst Handyman Prologue on Steam here

I think this perfectly sums up the main character Doug attempting to do any handyman repairs...

Hello r/games, you’re looking wonderful today.

The Biggleboss Incident is a pointy-clicky corporate thriller that’s a little bit Monkey Island, a little bit Metal Gear Solid, and which is kinda like a Kafkaesque version of 1984 – so long as your definition of ‘kinda like’ is quite broad.

We've been working on Rogue Command for 4.5y now, trying to build our dream game. An RTS game, that is posing countless challenges and offers even more interesting builds to overcome them.

• Classic RTS gameplay with base building, single unit controls and resource gathering.
• Find creative and crazy builds of different units, buildings and upgrades, that can push the gameplay into wildly different directions.
• Environmental interactions like slowing fog, quickly growing bamboo forests or inquisitive fauna might lead to special tactics depending on the map and your deck. Beware of spreading fires!
• Run based progression where each new try can lead to very different experiences with vastly different enemy encounters and procedural maps.
• Focus on singleplayer experience allows for quality of life features, like bullet-time when you aim active skills. Or slowing down time at any moment to get an overview of the situation.
• More than a hundred units and buildings and an even larger number of Hacks, Upgrades, single use items allow for an incredibly wide variety of playstyles.

We have a Demo out on Steam that we have been updating and expanding for almost two years now and that some players have already put more than 80h into.

Join our DISCORD, if you want to keep up with development and get the chance to participate in beta tests of the full version. We will expand the pool of beta testers fairly regularly from here on out, so the chances you will be able to be part of that are pretty good.

We are also doing an unregular Devlog Series on YouTube, where you can also see how the game progresses.

Feel free to ask any questions, we try to be very open and frank about our process and the state of the game.

Hello! I'm Efrem, the solo developer of Novus Orbis!

Demo on Steam!

I recently partnered with 2 left Thumbs, and here is the newest trailer!.

My game will be in Steam Next Fest in June, and I'll give a try to a Kickstarter campaign to help me with the process going towards Early Access later this year follow the project on Kickstarter.

Also, Olexa recently featured the game in his channel, if you want to take a look at how a run is (he did a great job at showcasing the game!) Olexa's video

The 2 key combat features are:

Combo system: Each card has a combo value, and by playing cards in the right order, they will have improved stats.

Countdown system: Enemies have a countdown value. Every time you play a card, or end your turn, their countdown number decreases. Once it reaches zero they will attack. This means they can attack during your turn.

Outside of combats, I want to achieve a type of exploration that is closer to non-deckbuilders, like Isaac or Dead Cells. Multiple different levels in branching paths, secrets to discover, and some kind of interaction with the environment.

Let me know what you think! I'd love more people to try it and any feedback, positive or negative, is very welcome!

Discord Server

I'm working towards Early Access now, but I just released an update to the demo to address some issues, and add some quality of life improvements. The game also works reasonably well on Steam Deck!

I am happy to announce my new steampunk autoshooter game Airships: Lost Flotilla🎉

You control a single airship from a top-down view, moving it arcade-style as it automatically shoots at enemies. You then collect the burning wreckage of your foes and use it to repair and upgrade your ship.

As is traditional, there's quite a lot of upgrade possibilities with different synergies. In the demo, you get access to three ships: the cruiser, the slow but powerful battleship, and the very fast aeroplane.

TRAILER: https://youtu.be/CeEgsFIE2PI
DEMO: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2858150/Airships_Lost_Flotilla/

And once you defeat the boss for the first time, you also get three captains to choose from that more radically change the way the game plays. Zoe Davies massively increases your weapon accuracy, Imani van Knorpel lets you cheaply look for and pile on repeated upgrades, and Commander Yithrak gives you double fire rate whenever you get hurt.

So go and check out the demo, let me know what you think in my Discord, and do put the game on your wishlist. The full release is planned for later this year.

Hi, I'm Ralph, the developer behind 'Star Mission: Remote Sectors'.

Set in 2224, this game invites you to explore a mysterious alien world at the Milky Way's edge. Inspired by the hopeful vision of classic sci-fi, it challenges you with strange anomalies and advanced superhuman abilities.

• Steam Page: Check it out

• Gameplay Teaser: Watch here

Aiming for a late 2024 release. If you like what you see, adding it to your wishlist would help a lot!

Thanks! - Ralph

Hello r/Games! This is my first mini-article post on Reddit, so please don't judge too harshly :)
The story behind the creation of my game is more of an inspiration and a desire to create something of my own.
The first time I played Darkwood was during its initial release on Steam. It was a very cool but rather rough game - where every update could potentially ruin your save. Several years later, the idea struck me that I would like to create something similar. For a long time, I couldn't figure out what to do with this idea; all that came to mind was to make a 3D version of Darkwood.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUCAE8rQRKI
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2601640/Sporeborn_Dark/

About the game briefly: You'll encounter dark and dangerous corners of a prison labyrinth, but you don't know how you got here. There are strange creatures lurking around, ready to attack you at any moment.

To survive, you need to find food, tools, and even weapons. But it's not just the monsters that threaten you - the labyrinth itself is bewildering and can drive you insane.

Deciphering messages from other lost souls can give you insight into what happened here. But this journey is filled with fear and tension, and you must use every beam of light and item to stay alive.

Can you handle the mutants and not lose your mind at every sound? And will you find a way out of the labyrinth, which seems alive with its changes? You'll have to try to escape this nightmare.

In early 2022, I finally realized what I wanted. Understanding that I couldn't achieve the same level of narrative storytelling, I decided to emphasize the sensations of darkness, loneliness, uncertainty, and mystique. I was fortunate to meet people who supported my idea. Thus, Sporeborn Dark was born (we deliberated a lot about the word 'Dark' at the end; we didn't want it to seem like we were copying Darkwood. But ultimately, we decided to keep the name because 'Dark' very well describes what happens in the game).

Initially, we wanted to make a small game lasting half an hour in four months. Often discussing the story of the AcidWizard team, their burnouts, depressions, and prolonged development, we talked about not wanting that. But something went wrong (a lot of things, actually), and here we are, making the game for almost a year now. Many things have changed and been added from the original concept, but one thing remains unchanged - the gloominess, the cold confinement, and the uncertainty around every corner, which is what we're trying to achieve.

Well, soon we're releasing a demo version, on which we hope to receive as much feedback as possible to improve the game and release it in a way that's exciting to play.

I understand that the game may struggle to find its audience, but I would be very grateful if you gave it a chance and supported me with a wishlist.

We released a demo this week! Gentoo Rescue is about sliding penguins to their homes, and it has a "change the rules" element with item pickups. Multiple moving pieces, item pickups, and special win conditions (involving walruses) make for many interesting puzzle possibilities. There are some exceptions, but the puzzle design is focused around the idea of "small, simple, but difficult".

The Steam demo contains 15 puzzles, which will take players somewhere between 2 and ∞ hours to complete. The game is difficult, but also easy to pick up with tons of accessibility features, including a hint system and puzzle skipping option. The puzzles are also deduction-based, so you won't need to wander aimlessly and you'll feel real satisfaction after reasoning your way through.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2830480/Gentoo_Rescue

There is also a shorter, prototype demo on Itch. This is playable through a browser and mobile is supported. (For mobile: Tap screen instead of X, swipe to move, and use the pull out for undo/reset/menu.) The subset of puzzles in this version are also easier, but there is no hint system and far less QoL due to the lack of animations and customizations.

https://jagriff.itch.io/gentoo-rescue-ps-demo

Gameplay can be found on the Steam page or on my Twitter ( https://twitter.com/jagriff333 ). I am eager to receive your feedback. Also, please wishlist Gentoo Rescue on Steam!

Hello there!

I'm Brulo, director of Flatline Studios, and along with a team of more than 10 friends and family, we are developing Into the Grid, a deckbuilder dungeon crawler set in a Cyberpunk universe we have been passionately crafting since 2021.

I'm extremely proud of what we are doing and immensely happy to have already surpassed 10k whislists! :)

I'm leaving more info below, I hope you like it, and best wishes from Argentina!

﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊

🦾 DESCRIPTION

Take the role of different hackers infiltrating highly-secured digital fortresses ("Grids") in a gameplay loop that revolves around two main components: Battles and Map Exploration.

The Map section of the game plays like a mix of a Tabletop and a Dungeon Crawler, where you need to manage information and resources, make decisions, and perform actions to find your way through a maze that unravels as you traverse it.

The Battle section puts your wit to the test as you try combinations and sequencing of cards and Commands to outsmart the enemies. Commands are powerful skills that you set before going into battle and activate by spending a resource generated by your cards. The need for a careful combination of your deck and Commands gives the game a unique strategic depth.

﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊

🦾 WHAT MAKES Into The Grid DIFFERENT?

We get this asked a lot so I'll be quick and direct:

- Our design and implementation of the map exploration/dungeon crawling mechanics are something we haven't seen in any game in the genre. (More info in the links below!)

- The Commands system adds a fresh twist to battles, reducing the RNG and enabling combos andgreat synergies.

- Tons of lore and an entire narrative universe to span beyond the game, another thing you won't find in your everyday deckbuilder.

- Pushing the limits of graphical quality, UI, and UX, making a game that looks beautiful, plays awesomely and it's extremely immersive. (Spoiler alert: We are revamping the entire UI!)

Hello r/Games, I am solo developer from Moldova working on a silly physics-based game about public transport in my hometown. The artstyle is heavily inspired by germfood's Night of the Consumers.

TROLEU is a wacky and chaotic first-person action game that lets the player experience what it's like to be a trolleybus conductor.

In TROLEU, it's not just about tickets; it's about ensuring order with a side of chaos. Punch, kick, and catapult unruly passengers into compliance in this hilariously hectic first-person physics-based game!

Wishlist on Steam!

Watch trailer

• COLLECT FARES & ISSUE TICKETS

Ensure that every passenger aboard the trolleybus has paid their fare and holds a valid travel pass. Whether they're paying with cash or card, make sure to provide change or process transactions using your trusty POS terminal. Don't forget to double-check any suspicious-looking travel passes and issue tickets promptly. Remember, some passengers may not take kindly to being overlooked!

• PUNISH RULE-BREAKERS

There's always a few troublemakers who think they can ride for free or pass off fake passes. And hey, we get it—some days, you just need to let off some steam. We won't judge if you decide to flex your authority, even if it means repeatedly knocking down an innocent old lady.

• ENSURE PASSENGERS SAFETY

Sometimes, you'll encounter passengers with a bit of a temper who might try to pick a fight. In those situations, it's your duty to maintain order and keep everyone safe, even if you were the one who initiated the fight. No backing off.

• BEWARE THE CONTROLLER

Keep an eye out for surprise inspections by the controller—they can spell trouble FOR YOU if they catch any fare dodgers or counterfeit passes onboard.

Planned to release on PC (Windows / Linux), release date TBA

Thanks for your attention, and remember - keep the ride smooth, no matter what!

Top 5 Adult VR Games with Quirky Gameplay Elements.

Original article didn't post the playlist correctly, much to the ire of some people. It seems reddit won't play playlist links which plays the series of 6 videos in order. I've had to use this multi-video format for specific reasons which I won't go into here, I can understand that might cause some viewer frustration. Anyway r/games. Here's the playlist link and the transcript (not spell-checked punctuated) for those who do not wish to view the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUA-KT_MXfE&list=PLBf3Mi5M99CS1ZDmMUu7TY2RLCkFr55zV&index=1

Hi I’m Rob Cram, and today we’re going to do something slightly different to what we’ve done before when looking at adult VR games. In this video, we’re going to look at adult VR games that have gamey elements. What we’ve discovered is that many of these games and experiences are basic model posers and viewers (or sandbox) and nothing more, but they’re still classed as adult VR games. In this video we’re going to look at the top five adult VR games that actually have gameplay. It’s not that many to be honest compared to the amount of model posers and viewers out there. There’s a reason for this and that’s due to the fact that it’s far easier for a developer to create a project as a model viewer poser rather than including the gameplay elements that people might be looking for, so this list is pretty unique. Let’s go.

HOLODEXXX HOME

Holodexxx Home episode one and two released over four years ago for PC, Featuring real life actress Marley Brinks. The team at Holodexxx pride themselves in their 3D scanning technology to bring Marley into the game world as realistically as possible. What episode one and two do for you as a player is put you into a sort of role play story situation. It's here where Marley’s character is a digital companion as far as the story is concerned and you get to interact with her via conversation in some kind of weird don’t tell the programmers that her AI driven character has gone rogue. But like the sci-fi movie Total Recall, we’re not sure if that angle is actually part of the AI character story that she wants you to follow. You can also customize her character quite a bit and sit down together and watch a movie. Either way, the visuals are really good and character looks great and of course this is playable in VR and on desktop which is a bonus. There’s not much to it though so you can probably breeze through both episodes in a couple of hours, if that. But still, it’s nice to have a story driven adult VR experience that transcends a basic model viewer.

CUSTOM MAID 3D2 IT’S A NIGHT MAGIC

Custom Maid 3D2 It’s a Night Magic is available for PC via Steam from developer KISS. The game released way back in 2019, and features a story where you take over your uncle’s business and try and turn it around after it is failing and facing closure. The way to do this is to hire and fire staff, train them, assign them to specific parts of the business and make executive decisions. You can also spend some time creating your desired characters. It’s quite an in-depth management SIM type game but also features a dating element where you can date the characters, get to know them better which in turn makes them more accomplished at their specific roles that you’ve assigned to them. I would say that on this list of VR experiences, Custom Maid 3D2 It’s a Night Magic is probably the most gamey of them all. Much like the Illusion Soft games such as Honey Select, it’s got a story driven element behind it which is really cool so this is definitely worth checking out despite its age. Obviously, it features anime looking characters, so if you’re not really into that then you might want to give it a miss. If you can overlook the design choice, then there’s a lot of fun to be had here. We have had some good times with this game and it’s nice to have a management sim in the adult VR space. It ties it all together nicely and gives you a bit more purpose. This game comes highly recommend as a gamey experience.

THE VILLAIN SIMULATOR

The whole purpose of the villain simulator is purely gameplay motivated where you take on the role of a villain and a selection of female clones. Before you dive into the main game you can separately customise and create your own characters which you can then use in the main story part of the game. From what we gather from developer ZnelArts is that your task is to break down the will of your captives so that you finally get to have your wicked way as the evil villain. It’s not easy though, as each character has their own quirks for you to discover. You can even programme specific quirks for characters and share them with other players which is kind of neat. In its current form, the game is pretty basic, but it does have a lot of potential from a gameplay perspective. It’s also pretty unique, In the sense that there are not many games that feature this sort of subject matter which instantly puts it in its own gamey category. The developer is regularly updating the game and therefore it’s definitely worth checking out.

OPERATION LOVECRAFT FALLEN DOLL

Operation Lovecraft Fallen Doll has had a rocky ride since its conception many years ago. Originally it was just Fallen Doll. One of the few games back then that actually had some gameplay elements. It’s been about eight years in development and has progressed quite a lot since then despite taking a long time to get anywhere with its lofty goals. In his current form the beta access harem mode is a multiplayer type of experience where you are tasked with unlocking outfits for the characters and collecting battle cards that you’ll be using in a future feature. What we found is the hook is unlocking of all of the content and there is quite a lot of stuff in there taking a number of hours to get through it all. It’s a bit grindy but it’s quite fun to collect them all. Just to give you an idea our playtime at the moment is about 120 hours plus, so that gives you a good idea of how much time you can spend, and we haven’t even unlocked everything in the game yet and there’s more to come. Now some sections of the community might suggest that this game is a money grab/SCAM and it’s not worth supporting due to the fact that’s taking so long to reach this stage. There’s so much more promised that there’s massive doubt whether any of that will come to fruition. But in its current form it’s a fun game, and with the Unreal Engine VR mod from Praydog getting ahead of the native VR support, means you can jump into the VR aspects immediately. There is a free demo on steam where you can play with the native VR, but the Harem mode doesn’t feature that just yet. The game features some of the best looking character models we’ve seen and the multiplayer just kind of works in a quirky kind of way. For the £30 investment, it has been worth it so far.

CAPTAIN HARDCORE

We’ve got to give props to developer Antizero for his Captain Hardcore game, another title that’s been in development for a number of years now. Whilst the game is in fact a model poser and viewer in a number of locations including a brand-new suburban neighbourhood, it also features first person shooting elements. You can travel across the Galaxy in your spacecraft and then land on planets for exploration. Some planets are more hostile than others. Armed with your trusty pistol, you can explore abandoned locations and shoot down attacking robots in true first-person shooter action. The bonus here as well is the game is playable in VR and on desktop. It’s also got a Quest standalone version where you can also use the pass through mode to play with the characters which is really cool and there’s a lot of them and a load of customization as well. The end goal offers a very complete package, but it’s still has a long way to go in its development.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

At the end-of-the-day depending on what you want to get out of your adult VR gaming experience will determine whether you’re into these sort of gamey elements. As far as we’re concerned, gaming elements really set the games apart from each other for the reasons we’ve already mentioned. Now, there are other fully fledged games like Skyrim VR that have mod support that can give you a really massive gaming experience with your adult themes included. But we’re mostly focusing on non-mod support aside from the exception of Operation Lovecraft but that game does actually have native VR planned which we’ve seen some of. There are other games as well that we haven’t mentioned such as VR Kanojo or Summer Vacation (as seen in the video) which offer story driven VR gaming experiences with gameplay elements that are worth a look if you’re new to VR.

Hey r/Games! My name is Caio and I'm a solo developer developing a game called Tyrant's Twilight: a turn based tactics RPG that pulls from elements of other traditional RPGs like FFIV’s Active Time Battle and Paper Mario’s action commands to add an action twist to the genre!

Similar to older Final Fantasy games, each unit's turn is decided by a stamina meter filling up in realtime. It means multiple units can move and attack at the same time as long as they have the stamina to spend.

When it comes to attacking, the camera zooms in to an over-the-shoulder perspective where players need to actually aim their shots and slice their enemies in more action oriented gameplay. For example, the archer class behaves sort of like a traditional 3rd person shooter, while the swordsman class behavior is inspired by Metal Gear Rising’s Blade Mode. There’ll be 8 different playable classes, each with its own attack style!

If this kind of experimental gameplay piques your interest and you'd like to help get the project going, consider wishlisting! Thanks for the attention!

Hi everyone, I'm Ivan, and I'm excited to introduce you to Kingdom's Deck.

Steam page and Trailer (Consider wishlisting it) l Twitter

Kingdom's Deck is an RTS game where you must construct a fortress using cards. These cards include building cards, troop cards, spell cards, resource cards, and more. Your objective is to survive the constant attacks from enemies who will assault your kingdom every night. Each card in your deck requires a specific amount of resources to be summoned, so as the King, you must manage your economy and resources carefully.

You'll need to manage your troops, strengthen them, and strategically position them on the battlefield to repel nightly attacks. You can use spell cards to wield god-like powers when your troops need assistance, summoning storms of fire or raining swords from the sky.

There are scenarios with varying weather conditions and layouts to construct your kingdom. A Demo will be available soon!

Inspired by Titanfall's fast-paced parkour with the chill relaxing tunes of Lo-Fi music and cute wholesome aesthetics.

Features unusual weapons (like a duck that fires rainbows), wall running & jumping, and a Dash melee attack that heals on a kill.

Hey all!

Watching my toddler play inspired me to make this game. 'Cozy Marbles' is a tiny physics sandbox game about building your own marble runs and races.

Steam page with trailer: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2836460/Cozy_Marbles/

It is maybe similar to games like Townscaper or Summerhouse where there are no rules or quests - it's just about being creative in your own pace and experimenting.

I'm solo developing this and am working hard towards a first demo. If you want to follow my game dev progress, you can enter the mailing list: https://linktr.ee/cozymarbles
