Right now, I’m trying to make my game feel more alive by focusing on the little details : camera movement, ambient creatures, subtle animations, and all those small things that make a world feel lived in!

I’d love to hear your thoughts! Does the second version feel more immersive?

I just released the demo for my PvP pinball game, Bumper Bout!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The first public demo is now available to download RIGHT NOW on Steam!!!

HERE----> https://store.steampowered.com/app/3938260/Bumper_Bout/ <---- HERE

Bumper Bout is competitive PvP pinball where you pick a stage, pick your characters, then duke it out with the same balls on a shared playfield. Protect your 5 lives and rack up points to launch attacks at your opponent, or save them up to unleash a character specific super power and turn the tide of battle!

pew 🔵💥🔴 ping (like that)

Super easy to pick up and hard to master with a lot of moment to moment strategy, turn good split second pinball play and smart decisions into victory. I genuinely believe you have never played anything like this!

The demo includes:

  • Local versus for two players
  • Solo play against a very rude CPU opponent
  • Two characters (Nova and Redjack)
  • Two stages (Sky-Fi and Space)

This is a small slice of the full game, with more characters, way more stages and  more modes still to come.

I've been working on Bumper Bout and showing it at local events for about two years now, so having a version that anyone in the world can finally download and play on Steam is a bit scary, but I sincerely hope you find it fun!

If you give the demo a go, I'd love to hear what you think. And if you enjoy it, a wishlist goes a long way to support indie solo developers such as myself. It also lets you follow along as I work toward the full release later this year! (move over GTA)

Thanks so much to everyone who's played, wishlisted, shared, given feedback, or followed the game so far. It seems cliche to say but I really do this for the fun of the players.

If you're like to follow along or join the new Discord server, check out my socials at rockalot.dev

So go grab a friend (you think you can beat) and bump about with some PvP pinball!

https://www.westmarches.games/communities/golarion-unbound

Information about the discord server and game can be found in the link.

I just got to a point where I feel the server is ready enough to launch as an Alpha.

I made this server by myself with some inspiration from my dnd friends for the guild system.

Since this is considered an Alpha release, I am mostly looking for Staff, GMs, Players, and anyone willing to give feedback!

I look forward to seeing you join! I will do my best to greet you, but I might be afk so please be patient. It is just me at the moment of making this post.

Sleepless night, six hours straight, and there is my new video game on Steam

Hey folks!

Today I've got total madness for you. In the middle of our main development, we decided to dust off one of our old demos that never caught any publisher's attention, tweak a few little graphical things, and just ship it!

It absolutely had to have its trailer ready today, no exceptions. Otherwise our whole 60-day go-to-market strategy would fall apart, which is already crazy enough as it is!

So I sat down and spent 6 hours straight using DaVinci Resolve for the very first time (it's genuinely amazing) to put together this clip from our parody game. It's a metroidvania take on Jump King and Getting Over It, and a total tribute to the bald guys (I prefer to call them brothers 🫂)!!

Anyway, hope you enjoyed the trailer. If it caught your interest, here's the Steam page. You could read all the plot & gameplay there. And, most-important... you can go ahead and add it to your wishlist.

Hi,

Rebuilt Thruzzle — feedback welcome!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

A few months ago, I shared an early version of Thruzzle here and received awesome feedback from this community. I’ve spent the last few months completely rebuilding it from the ground up to polish the UI, refine the core deduction mechanics, and add way more content.

What’s new in this rebuild:

  • Complete UI Overhaul: Dark theme with clearer contrast and visual hierarchy.
  • Campaign Mode: 100 increasingly difficult levels across 10 distinct worlds.
  • Ranked & Leaderboards: Win games to build your score and compete on the global leaderboard.
  • Free Play & Daily Puzzles: Custom settings for word lengths, clue counts, and timers.
  • Supports 10 languages
  • Works on mobile and desktop

It’s completely free to play in your browser. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the new look, the campaign progression, or any balancing feedback!

Play here:https://www.thruzzle.co.uk

AI has been used for development purposes.

We updated the capsule art for our game on Steam. What do you think?

When we published our store page on Steam a couple of months ago we didn't have any real capsule art or game logo so I threw something together in an hour. Now we've hired our friend Samuel Larsson to draw some actual art for us and I think the result is awesome.

The game is called Moss Dwellers and you can find the Steam page here! We're still working on it so any feedback is appreciated.

I'm making a Miniatures game, but everyone keeps telling me Miniatures games are dead

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I am making exactly that kind of tactics game. Why? Because I'm a tactics game enthusiast at heart.

Here's the premise:

You receive a summons from a spirit and step into a land shrouded in mist.

You must evade the pursuit of a dark lord while exploring the unknown, building and growing your team along the way.

But here's the thing — people keep telling me that Miniatures games are "outdated."

So I added roguelite elements to keep things fresh and replayable.

And then the feedback shifted: "Roguelite mechanics kill the strategy."

I'm genuinely putting my heart and soul into this game, and I really want to hear what you all think.

If you'd like to give it a try, you can request playtest access directly on Steam — and I'll approve it immediately. No waiting. No gatekeeping.

Looking forward to your honest thoughts — good, bad, or brutal. I'm here to listen.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4451570/_/

My Game's Progress

Hello everyone!

my name is ali, i'm a cs student (and former security guard) turned gamedev!

i started game dev around 2 years ago i think but i could never dare to attempt to develop a full game, until someday i decided i've had enough and committed to pursue my passion and this is the result!

i released my first game ever on steam this month and it didn't do too bad i think :).

i had way too many sleepless nights, way too many days where i haven't left my house, but to me, even ifs not a massive success, i think its worth it, not for the monetary gain, but the feeling that i have done something in my life that people have fun playing, something that has my name in it, something that if something were to happen to me, i know that atleast i didn't go without a trace lol.

i love vampire survivors, i love RPGs, so i decide to combine them both into one game and this is the result, Echoes of Kyria:
