Evermist - Looking for new playtesters for a new update!
https://efilheim.itch.io/evermist
With the help of your valuable feedback, I've been able to improve a large part of the game and even add new content. That's why I need your help once again to test these content additions and fixes.
For those who don't remember Evermist, or missed the last post, it's an isometric pixel-art cRPG in RTWP currently in development.
The game features free character progression, character group management and a balance between affordable and complex mechanics.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Any free local co op fighting games?
I prefer pixel or low graphics, and Windows. I have been looking for quite a while, and I cant seem to find any. It does not matter if I fight WITH the other player/players, or against them.

FPV + Roguelike = Nuclear Drone? Motion sickness sim that takes a hour of learning to fly in a straight line but as a fpv drone hobbyist, I'm having so much dumb fun prototyping

Indie game in the works – what do you think of this sneak peek?

I spend too many hours crafting battles like this one. Do you think the difficulty level is too high?

It took me a week after the release to realize what the short description of my game should have looked like. VED is a story-driven, hand-drawn RPG with a unique turn-based combat system and visual novel elements.

6 months ago I was recreating Balatro for fun. Now that simple prototype is taking me more than 5 hours of development daily 😅 Planning to launch it in 2025

A warning about a scam company called 404Games
Greetings,
I know, everyone posts about progress of their games here. But today I have to post something else. About a company you should avoid at all costs. A publisher called 404games who offer indie teams porting their games to consoles.
Disclaimer: I work for a publisher myself. I'm in charge of it. If you ever want to work with us, do the same as with any other company: Do your homework, do some research and talk to teams we work with.
Anyways. 404games is a scam publisher. They promise you in their mails that both parties would benefit from their offer. That's a lie. How do I know? Cause they don't do their homework. They contacted us twice now. For two games which were already on consoles. The first one was CrossCode. I played along in June and let them take the offer further. They stepped out when they learned it is based on a custom HTML5 / JavaScript Engine as they can only port Unity and Unreal.
Now they contacted us over Drova. Same mail. No homework done. Game launched on Consoles as well.
It is pretty obvious that these are mass mailings, most likely also autogenerated to a certain degree. And they hope that someone falls for it so they can generate a quick cashgrab.
Their Mail:

As it's out in a couple of weeks, I finally made a little trailer for my tactical roguelite 'Rapture Recovery Squad' (Headphone warning: a bit loud)

In my game you have dry eyes from prolonged contact lens use, so you must manually blink every 3 to 5 seconds or your vision goes blurry. This feature cannot be disabled

Thought I'd share this clip of our game, Oppidum, because it felt so satisfying to play

Hi everyone, my game “The Carnival of Company” will be released on December 10th. It's basically about an engineer's adventure in hell. Don't forget to wishlist if you like it.

Let's build some giant robotic space monsters! I just added pistons and rotator modules to build spaceships with moving parts. This one likes crunchy enemies.

"Who asked for another sim?" you might ask. "Good question" I might answer. The first trailer's here anyways and comments are more welcome than ever.
