Jogos para jogar enquanto ouve música ou podcast

I want recommendations for games to play while consuming other content, like music or a podcast. I tested Stardew Valley for this, but I have to look for something on the game's wiki every time.

Does This Winter Scene Make You Feel Cold?

I’m working on the winter scene for the sequel to my previous solo developed game! Creating the right atmosphere has been a challenge, but I’m aiming for something that really captures that cold, wintery vibe.

What do you think? Does this scene make you feel cold?

What would be the most appropriate way for interested community members to read about new game?

Honestly, I never properly used Reddit (except, of course, a 1000 times when needed to find a good source of info)

That being said, for several years I have been working hard on my game which is probably not bad based on few initial playtests (it is space sandbox rpg) and I would like to talk about it in any appropriate way.

I got mixed feedback based on several conversations with indie developers and though that asking it directly might be best.

Which augment looks the coolest? I drew these for our indie game, and the most popular one might just become overpowered!

I'm working on a whimsical 2.5D swashbuckling sidescroller

It's a bit like if The Princess Bride was combined with the original 2D Prince of Persia (1989)! But Andalusian.

If it makes things more interesting, I was one of the main writers on SpecOps: The Line and the lead designer/writer on Curious Expedition 2.

Check it out here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3330540/Palace_of_a_Thousand_Curses/

And if anyone is interested in testing an early demo/prototype, DM me. I'll be happy to hook you up with a link! (Especially if you want to give some feedback...)

Is spending millions on AAA games necessary? XIII (2003) still looks amazing, like an indie game!

We wanted to show you the Fuse mechanic we've designed for our Metropolis region. Between serving drinks, you might need to fix your fuse as well. What do you think? Any feedback or comments are welcome!
