Solo Developed Indie RTS, Invasion: Phoenix!

Whew, it's been a long road, but my first game Invasion: Phoenix is finally public on Steam! Invasion: Phoenix Steam Store Page

Release date is scheduled for May 17th 2024, but you can wishlist now. Made with GameMaker Studio 2. It's early access right now, as I'm still working on the full campaign mode and the final few units for each faction, but players can play around with custom match and the different maps/gametypes and have some fun! Also, future updates will be free for anyone that buys now :)

If you're an old-head who loves timeless classics like Command and Conquer, a mid-head who loved the fast-paced action of World in Conflict, or even a younger gamer who's like "What's an RTS?" you'll undoubtedly enjoy the fast-paced, action packed, strategic sci-fi warfare of Invasion: Phoenix! Invasion: Phoenix Announcement Trailer I'm a massive gamer and I've been playing games basically since I popped out of the womb, and I was feeling frustrated by Triple AAA companies never seemingly being able to make what I really wanted to play (especially RTS's, which is apparently a dead genre). So I said screw it and decided to do it myself! I have no money or resources except for a computer and myself, so I'm just running off of pure drive and passion for video games. I'm nervous as hell, but also pretty excited for what happens next! I'm open to any all constructive criticism and feedback, good or bad; I want to make this the best game that it can possibly be, and I have no end of games planned for the future. We've got nowhere to go but up from here! I've basically already decided I'm just gonna make video games for the rest of my life, so whatever money I make is just going towards staying alive and making video games :D

Thanks for taking the time to read through and looking into my first video game! It's still surreal to me that I'm putting an actual game onto Steam... I hope you'll stick around and join me on my quest to bring back gaming! I'm more than happy to answer any questions anyone has.

Wallpaper + Screenshots

Game OST also made by me (had to learn Ableton the past 4 years to get to this point)

Tried to make a realistic 45 degree red dot for my game, any tips while it feels good to shoot I feel like it is missing something.

(Jump King) Am I doing this right?

I got to bargainburg after about an hour, and went to the imp room. After a long time, I’ve gotten to the lost frontier a few times. Am I doing this right? Am I supposed to go chase the bird for the boots first? Or am I even supposed to go this way yet at all?

After everyone agreed that the free camera mode should be part of the game, I have just patched the game and added the functionality! It can be switched within the game with a hotkey, without any need to open the options menu!

For my final college exam project, I decided to create a puzzle-narrative game. The first puzzle involves navigating a mirror maze; players must memorize the path shown in the diagram to advance. Unlocking all paths grants access to the Ferris wheel gates. 2 weeks left until deadline :£.

One of my hacking mini-games for a cyberpunk stealth game I'm working on - you gotta plug in a USB. You can never get it first try, always needs 3 flips.

Steam Page Revamp

So I took several people's advice and suggestions and revamped my Steam Page to condense some of the descriptions and add animated GIFs (since I was told most people don't read descriptions) to show some of the game. I am doing this solo so would appreciate any feedback suggestions for the new look or if I need to make any more changes! Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone give Bumper Blocks a try. It's just one of my many games at FranticFrenzyGames.com

https://www.franticfrenzygames.com/game-arcade/bumper-blocks

A classic breakout adventure with a twist. Your objective: hit the blocks back towards the stone idol. Sounds easy, right? Think again! With each hit, the challenge intensifies as the blocks ricochet unpredictably, testing your reflexes and strategic prowess
