Thank you. Anywhozits. Enemies now explode into souls of all possible elemental colors in the game: 🟣🔴🔵 There's a tad of lore behind it all. I have a few sprite offsets wonky since I'm reworking the battle spritesheets, too but wanted to show this to you. #pixelart #gamedev #godot

want to shout out two demos i've checked out in steam next fest that have really grabbed me. first: MEDIUM RARE, a tactical survival-horror dungeon crawler about eating so, so much human flesh. love the FMV animation and the atmosphere in general, and the combat is really fun!
Lots of little additions to TerraFarmer: - Critters - Pathing - Playable characters - Basic HUD and mini-map I'm working agentically with #claudecode for this project, generating both code and art while i prototype. Game mechanics and graphics heavily inspired by Genewars. #gamedev #lau #love2d
If you don't want to wade through the Next Fest AI slop, here's a demo from a publisher who refuses to work with AI: KILLSEC from dev TurboNerds and publisher @noquartersoft.bsky.social, who also published the excellent BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER BEFORE 4: DEMONS F store.steampowered.com/app/5122390/...
I've got a few highlights of stuff I found during Steam Next Fest, without AI disclaimers, that I liked playing. XXXX - A sketchbook-y boss rush game. The main gimmick is that you can't shoot back unless you catch enemy bullets. store.steampowered.com/app/4122200/...
!!STEAM NEXT FEST POST!! Sushiamo does not have a fishing minigame, but it is (technically) a fish *game*!! #sushiamo #steamnextfest #indiegame #gaming #videogames #fishing #fishingminigame
Next Fest ends Monday. If you're digging through demos this weekend, here's the full list with the 2,536 that declare AI hidden. 4,552 left, most played first, or try Small demos for the ones with under 100 players. playfeed.games/nextfest #Steam #IndieGames #gamedev #pcgaming
Just played the demo of store.steampowered.com/app/4668060/... If you like very cozy, non-stressful games (I'd go as far as saying calming) a bit like power wash simulator mixed with furniture restoration, check this one out.
I've just noticed one checklist of Clown House: Lunacy's Steam page was unticked. "5 or more screenshots categorized as gameplay". Apparently it prevents the game from getting listed in Coming Soon. Don't forget to check your game too! It must be a recent thing. #gamedev
September 2020, I started work on what would become Witchfall and at the time I was HEAVILY inspired by Maplestory! This is some of the earliest footage of the game I could find! We've come a long way! #indiegame #solodev #gamedev
With the thousands of demos & AI slop around every Next Fest corner, Stuart's favourite Steam event was nearly ruined. But thankfully, he figured out a way to save his Steam Next Fest, through 2D platformers! Stuart shares his finding in our latest article:
Friend told me about this awesome nonogram game on steam next fest! I'm just overjoyed that I can actually play with a mouse! The controls are great, the music is interesting w/o being overwhelming, there's dark mode! having fun :> store.steampowered.com/app/4802880/...

𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 is an upcoming hack-n-slash game where you try to survive waves of enemies with combos and bullet-time combat. Very impressive tech showcase here from developer Zefram.
Can't wait to play this, visuals strongly inspired by Alien Resurrection. Always looked like one of those rare games specifically created for my tastes. Just got a release date: 13th november. store.steampowered.com/app/3810510/...
I recently took part in the GameDev.tv Halloween Jam. My solo entry, Living Red, took first place for mechanics! I am very proud, as evidenced by me posting this on social media (also my first post on BlueSky?) Anyway, try my game, it's playable in browser and Windows. uidomaa.itch.io/living-red
Stuntboost looks wild—basically playing tech deck with your keyboard like we used to do with finger skateboards as kids. PC Gamer calls it a racing platformer for "FPS movement sickos" for just $7, but honestly, the whole thing looks almost fake! #IndieGames #Steam #IndieDev #PCGaming #Platformer

Not a bad start to the level select screen 😁 I think everything is in place to code this, once everything works I'll keep improving the visuals. Slowly but surely this demo is coming along. #gamedev #solodev
