    Shooter meets Tower Defense - BoomStone Demo finally out

    So I started my solo game dev journey a year ago, and finally managed to publish a demo of my first game. Yay ^_^

    Download here: https://mindlessfinn.itch.io/boomstone

    BoomStone is an unholy marriage between top-down-shooter and tower defense, spending their honeymoon with roguelite as third wheel.

    Gameplay loop goes like this:

    1. Build

      - Build walls and turrets around your house

      - Leave holes to lure enemies on a specific path

      - Or don't. They will try to make those holes themselves

    2. Upgrade

      - RUNES are your weapons. Equip them to yourself and your turrets

      - Runes behave differently depending on the slot they are equipped in

      - Level up your walls and yourself

    3. Fight

      - Defend against an increasing horde of enemies, on one go

    4. Repeat

      - The enemy horde is almost endless, you will be overran

      - But not to worry, you'll be sent back in time with everything acquired

      - No progress loss whatsoever

    I have mainly one question for those willing to try my game: Is it fun to play?

    Releasing my demo for my first game Marlowe & Edmonson

    https://la-rosa-de-foc.itch.io/marlowe-edmonson-demo

    Morning everyone, I'm glad to present you the first proper demo to my game. Marlowe & Edmonson is an indie work of interactive fiction and my first solo project as an amateur dev. The plot features you and your ragtag crew of desperate mercenaries as you travel to Arabia in a last ditch attempt at success in the peak of Queen Victoria's reign. As of right now the first chapter is published in itch io as a short demo for the wider game. Feel free to play it and if you happen to enjoy it I'd love if you could provide me some feedback, specially regarding the writing style and the characters. Thanks for reading and have a good weekend :)

    Need Playtesters for my Indie Game - Reborn: An Idle Roguelike RPG

    Hi everyone,

    I'm Blake, the solo developer behind the Idle Roguelike RPG "Reborn," which I'm thrilled to announce is now available to wishlist on Steam, launching in Early Access this May!

    Why Early Access?

    "Reborn" is still very much a work in progress. Launching in Early Access allows me to collaborate with you— the players— to refine gameplay, squash bugs, and expand the features in ways that truly resonate with our community. Your input will be crucial to shape the game's future, making each update better than the last.

    Gameplay Highlights:

    • Idle Incremental Gameplay: Designed to be engaging whether you're actively playing or letting it run in the background, "Reborn" is about grinding and incremental increases to your various stats, smart resource management, and progressive story uncovering. The game rewards both styles of play, letting you choose how hands-on you want to be.
    • Roguelike Elements: In "Reborn," death isn't a setback but a strategy. You’ll retain your experience with each run, using what you’ve learned to go further next time.
    • Rich RPG Features: Beyond idle play, dive deep into RPG essentials—level up, craft gear, brew potions, grow crops, and recruit companions with unique abilities. Each NPC in the village has their own story, making the world dynamic and immersive.

    Community Involvement:

    As we gear up for the Early Access launch, your feedback is more important than ever. Here’s how you can get involved:

    Launching "Reborn" in Early Access is just the beginning. With your help, we can create a game that we all will be proud of. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm—it means the world to a solo developer like me.

    See you in the game,

    Blake

    Hello! :)

    I just dropped a game demo called Snatched! In the game you’re an alien who must abduct humans. The catch is that you use your voice to convince them to follow you back to your alien ship!

    Would love if you all gave it a try!

    Quest Survivors - A top-down class-based survivor rogue-lite - Looking for feedback

    Hello! this is my first game dev experience, where I managed to publish a game (for now it's just a demo).

    This game is a 'survivor-like' but with more elements, like aim & shoot, dashing, mana & skills, and a class system where every class has a different gameplay.

    This game (almost) entirely by my hand, i designed the game, i wrote the code, I drew the sprites for all classes / enemies / tilemaps, the only exception is bgm and sfx.

    I'm looking for any feedback (either positive or negative) about the game, thanks in advance!

    You can play it for free on itch.io (web or download) here: https://gexxo1.itch.io/questsurvivors

    "Sweet Science" – a visual novel about science, time and love

    What if...

    ...you went back in time to a place you never wanted to go to?
    And there you are: at a weird science camp in a prestigious boarding school in Silversee Castle in the 1990s. Will you solve the mystery of how you ended up there? And will you be able to return to your time? And maybe find love?

    In this visual novel you will meet four extraordinary (and quirky) girls, learn more about your world and uncover the mystery. On the way, original puzzles are challenging you. Master them – or simply chicken out.

    Dive into the story and find out how sweet science can be!

    Sweet Science is completely free.

    You can play the award-winning indie game on Steam (PC/Mac/Linux):

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/2309230/Sweet_Science__The_Girls_of_Silversee_Castle/

    Or in you browser on itch (on most browsers, even mobile devices, provided you have sufficient internet speed):

    A Video Game About Iranian Rapper Recently Sentenced to Death

    https://preview.redd.it/nu1qv5y79hwc1.png?width=1197&format=png&auto=webp&s=ebb53965868af008fe8aeee0c9b76d4ae05f1e2d

    The government of Iran wants you dead. Your crime? Busting sick rhymes of protest. But with your trusty steed and rifle, you just might stand a chance against the IRGC motorcyclists who've been sent to take you out.

    Waves get increasingly more difficult. Remember... your horse has a healthbar too!

    Controls are simple:

    • Aim - Mouse
    • Shoot - Left click
    • Movement: W/A/S/D keys
    • Dodge: Space or right click

    Corruption on Earth is not just a classic top-down shoot-em-up: it's a message to those who would have their communities governed by fear and repression that the choices they make are being watched by the entire world, and they will someday have to answer for their crimes.

    Game concept and cover art inspired by Salehi's own nomad-Bakhtiari background.

    The game itself is open-source under MIT License. If you're interested in contributing to the project, all you have to do is reach out.

    Short lil' spooky game

    Campfire Stories is a short (45 minutes tops) multi-story/multi-style horror game by just me and it's my first game ever

    https://preview.redd.it/x8cjr6isygwc1.png?width=954&format=png&auto=webp&s=b499e0b070d230efcb6d2576613cf2d282807938

    There's nothing greater than... well, the great outdoors.

    You and your fellow scouts are once again sent off on an unsupervised camping trip. What else is there to do than settle in and tell some spooky stories. 

    The question is... are they just stories?

    Controls

    || || |Walk|WASD| |Lantern (camp only)|Q| |Tasks|TAB| |Interact*|E when "?" is visible | |Change Camera|C will cycle between First and Third person.| |Cycle Cameras (fishing only)|1 2 3 4| |ESC, MMB|Menu| |Zoom|Hold Right Mouse Button  | |*Interact|Most items and people can be interacted with multiple times|

    This games lighting was built with Global Illumination being set to High. The Hotel level may not appear lit correctly with Global Illumination set lower than High. Please keep that in mind.

    Thank you for checking out my very first game!  It was a wonderful experience learning Unreal 5 and trying out different mechanics - I can't wait to share more adventures - refined with what I've learnt from this project.

    If you like typing and learning new words, you should try Typing Bullets, an arcade typing roguelite

    Typing Bullets is a typing roguelite game, where the platforms have letters on them, and you move and shoot by pressing the letter you are on. These letters form words, so you can practice your typing skills and possibly learn some new words.

    Learning new words is a core mechanic of Typing Bullets, as each time you jump on a word you see its short definition. If your HP falls below 0, a short quiz will appear that asks you what a certain word you have previously encountered means. Answer correctly and you regain 1HP.

    Typing Bullets also has a permanent upgrade system, where you can upgrade your character with all sorts of cool abilities, like more time at your disposal to answer the "death" quiz, special shot effects, more HP and much more. The game has lots of weapons that will help you progress (shotgun, lightning gun, laser, etc.) and lots of unique enemies, based on keyboard keys, for you to fight against.

    If this sounds interesting, you can give the demo a try at the following Steam link:

    Typing Bullets on Steam (steampowered.com)

    Any feedback is very much appreciated. Thank you!
