Would you say that there is a place for traditional PVP Shooters in the indie market, or are AAA high budget titles sucking up too many casual players for that?

I would like to share the Lonely Space trailer, an immersive sim. I'm developing for 2+ years now. The game is inspired by System Shock, Deus Ex, and Prey.

Made a video of my game, SpecFreq

SpecFreq is a top-down multiplayer shooter without many players, so it’s just me vs the bots right now. They’re not perfect, but it’s still fun to fight against them. Game mode is currently Capture The Flag, but in this video I was just messing with the bots.

I have a free demo up on Steam. The demo is pretty much the full game, just with a smaller focused map so I can keep refining the game features. The full game has a map that’s about 8x as big. I’m also working on a map editor so people can make their own zones. Game is made in Godot 3.5.

have to race against time to make it to the next round, collect neutral items to

increase your points and dodge harzadous objects .

Further information is on the game page itself.

This game is free and available for windows os .

PLAYING IT WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED,

as I spent 2 months working on this little cuttie.

Hello guys! Check out the new feature in my game Coin-Op Vice: valuable items that can only be collected in the special Neo-N mode. It's like being in the matrix. You gather everything there, and when you return to normal mode, the collected items are awarded to you.
