Yoo what's good everybody, been a min since the last Devlog so i thought id show y'all what I've been up too. if you didn't know I'm currently working on a ps1 inspired horror game with elements of Japanese folklore and pure vibes. I'm not at all a game dev but it's been fun working on this project.

Demo will be dropping on October 31st let me know what y'all think.

That was slow and hard march, but our demo managed to get there in time

I'm assembling a passionate indie team to create an online multiplayer game inspired by Stardew Valley. Our goal is to build a vibrant world with deep social interactions, a thriving online community, and unique mechanics that bring players together in meaningful ways.

I already have a company in place but am open to starting a new indie game studio, ideally based in Switzerland. The vision is to eventually establish a small, creative hub in a scenic Swiss village, like Zermatt.

If you're interested in joining this journey or want to learn more, feel free to reach out!

Hey, did it hand pixelled, trying to get some ideas on how to improve, and to be honest, also to know if its good enough and dont have a “cheap” feel. Let me know what you think, thanks!

Someone gave me a hard time for "wasting quads" on this but I was please with it. I'm really trying to improve my topo and efficiency while avoiding tris, n-gons and openings in the mesh. I think this came in at 1,200 triangles. That's largely due to the detailed cornerstones but I like how they break up the silhouette. And yes, those textures are too high res but I've reduced them to 512 in Unity and turned off filtering for the pixelated PS1 look. Single objects like this are all I need for my current prototype but I plan to make a whole modular castle kit at some point.

I'd given up game dev over the past couple years to focus on study and have just recently jumped back into a demo for which I'd done a rough prototype of level 1. In less than 2 weeks I'm a fair way into level 2, my coding having improved in that time. Anyway, here's the main player character Velari. It's a first person horror game set in a dark medieval fantasy world, but I decided to make a model for cutscenes. In total she's a tiny bit over 1,500 triangles. Let me know what you think.

A few years ago, I remember being stunned by the promotional art on a website (with favicon 🌳) for an upcoming adventure indie game. One adventurer was jumping into another's arms against a densely wooded, leafy backdrop. All of the concept art was gorgeously cell-shaded. For example, a magnificent sword was cemented into the ground near stonework, evoking similar scenes as the Master Sword. Gameplay wise, I believe they planned to develop an action adventure title (possibly multiplayer/co-op) inspired by great games like Zelda. Any ideas? I hope this project still lives!

My asset pack is on Halloween sale, $5 for $2.50, for a limited time until October 31st!!!

I just completed the development of my very first game Spherebuddie 64 Demo and came across the concept of Steam next fest a couple of months ago. At first, I was not sold on this whole demo thing. However, I Just opted in and rolled out a demo for my game in the next fest.

The result is much greater than what I expected. I got around 30,000 impressions and 855 page visits. That too in just one and a half days. Around 500 people have downloaded the demo it seems.

My wishlist count shot up from 63 to 429. This looks like a small number. However, for my very first game, this is a huge achievement in my books. So, the takeaway for all the Indiedevs would be to not have a 2nd thought if you're planning to release a demo. Just go for it!!

I'm making a stealth game and not sure how hard the puzzles can be. I want it to be challenging enough that they need to think about it or grab a pen+paper.

Would you expect a techie player can work out a puzzle involving:

• Give them an ASCII character and they'll work out the binary
• Solve a fairly simple equation
• Decode a simple az126 cipher
• Morse code to text

I'm thinking of making these puzzles more of a side quest, so those that want to spend the time can and those that don't, won't have to.
