I've been working my fingers off on this project for a while now. I want to make animations for games more than anything and hand drawn 2D is my favorite and what I'm best at. I recently dropped everything and dumped my savings into making this game full time and so far, it's been amazing. A lot of people have shown so much optimism and support for the project and we've even managed to make some money already. The kickstarter went live about 2 weeks ago and so far so good. Check it out if you think the game looks cool! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/digitalpiledriver/forgebeast
If you have any questions about the game, how I make any of the art/animations, or how to start your own overly-ambitious projects like this, please feel free to ask. Hope my little story inspires some of you to take a risk on a similar passion project.
Scrolling through this Reddit community, I see a lot of passionate projects being worked on in a variety of engines. Rather than adding another ad, AI copywritten, or "promotional" post, I thought I would instead share Modd.io with you from a more personal perspective.
Our engine has recently gone open-source on Github, and since then we have seen a variety of improvements. But that is not why I am visiting your Reddit community. No, I have come as a player who always wanted to make a game, and was not able to until I discovered Modd.io.
Yes this is a company account, yes I am an employee of the company, but Modd.io's community has really inspired me in a way that is hard to describe. I urge you to check out our platform, test out our software, and take those first steps in IO game creation the same way I did several months ago.
Thank you for your time!

I have a keen interest in gaming and game development, so Mendax's all-in-one approach has piqued my curiosity.
It sounds like a fantastic opportunity to be able to develop my own game using their intuitive AI software and finish it within an hour. Furthermore, I am excited to showcase my creation to the world.
I am looking forward to exploring Mendax and experimenting with different game ideas. Perhaps, in the future,
I could establish myself as a noteworthy game developer.

Town of idiots is a social deduction game based on the party game, Mafia.
With a major difference from games like it:
No accounts, no rules, just fun.
Why accounts & rules are a problem in this sort of game:
-They interfere with strategy and deduction, for example lots of tactics may be avoided due to being perceived as game throwing
-They take away anonymity, in town of idiots you're 1 click away from joining, which is a key feature I aim to keep
-Fun, you can just join and do what you want.
Doesn't matter if you don't know something or get something wrong, half the other players don't either, we're idiots having fun.
Tell me what you think about the concept of this game, specifically interested in things relating to anonymity/no account design choice.
If you'd like to experience this for yourself, you can at https://toi.lol/
(PS: this is a remake of the original version)
I would like to present my interactive fiction game. „Dark Reign” is a strategy text game in which the player takes on the role of a Sauron-style Lord of Darkness with the goal of conquering the world. He will carry out his plans by making various decisions. He will build his army and send it into battles, weave intrigues and deceptions, create secret spy networks and sectarian cults, recruit agents and commanders, corrupt representatives of Free Peoples and sow discord among them, collect magical artifacts and perform sinister plots. Link to download: https://www.mediafire.com/file/562vps2csm82pun/Dark_Reign_1.67.html/file. This is an html file that opens in a browser, but You can play offline. Note – one game takes about 1 hour, but the premise is that the game can be approached several times, each time making different decisions, getting different results and discovering something new. Feedback is very much welcome. Very, very much.
Also, itch.io version: https://adeptus7.itch.io/dark-reign - if You play in this version, please, remember to rate, it is very important to me!
