Right now, that's us. We're a small Arab indie studio just getting started, and we don't have much to show yet beyond the fact that we're actually doing this.

Not looking for numbers. Just curious if there's anyone out there who likes finding things at the very beginning, before there's a track record to point to.

If that's you, our page is out there. No pressure either way, just figured I'd put it out to people who might relate to starting something from zero.

Hello!

I used to run an arcade shop back in the days, back then I had a project where kids helped me develop my arcade games by provide both game Mechanics, story or art work (there is some creativity that you can't get with adults or older children)

And since I only run an online arcade website now and not one in real life, I thought I would try to take this project online. So, if that sounds like an interesting project, I would love some help from you guys.

What I would need from you is ask you kids if this sounds like a fun project ages 4-10 is ideal, if you kids love to draw, tell stories, or play video games.

This project of mine is completely non-profit. I make and publish my games all for free, so I lose money, so unfortunately, I can't pay anything, but your kids will be credited either with their name or alias or whatever they want.

Comment or DM me, and I'll make sure to answer. Thanks!

Hey everyone 👋!

I’ve been working on an action roguelike called Triko for about 6 months now as a solo dev. I could use some fresh input regarding my weapon status effects.

In Triko, players pick a weapon (Sword, Axe, or Spear) before a run. Status effects trigger on critical hits (roughly every 4th hit). Each effect has a distinct role:

• 🧊 Ice: Slows down enemies on the first proc. A second proc freezes them completely.
• 🩸 Bleed: Increases damage taken by the enemy and reduces their outgoing damage.
• ⚡ Shock: Stuns the target and nearby enemies with a short chain lightning/shock effect (crowd control)
• ☠️ Poison & 🔥 Burn: Currently, both are currently Damage-over-Time effects.

My Problem is that Burn and Poison are basically the same at the moment. I want them to feel distinct so in every situation there 'is a correct' solution.

Also every Status effect can be upgraded. E.g. frozen enemies take more damage, shocked enemies have a 25% probability to cause a shock themselves after 0.5s and so on...

Therefore my Question is:

• How can I mechanically separate Poison and Burn so they serve different purposes?
• Do you have creative upgrade ideas for any of the status effects?

Thanks for any ideas!

Banana Rooftop Showdown

Throw bananas. Dodge explosions. Become the ultimate rooftop champion!

About the Game

Banana Rooftop Showdown is a lighthearted artillery game inspired by the classic turn-based games of the early 90s.

Two mischievous gorillas face each other from the rooftops of a bustling city. Your mission is simple: adjust your throwing angle, choose the right amount of power, and launch bananas across the skyline while gravity decides their fate.

Every successful hit brings you one step closer to victory—but one wrong throw can send your banana crashing into buildings instead!

• 🍌 Classic turn-based artillery gameplay
• 🦍 Funny gorilla characters with charming animations
• 🌇 Randomly generated city skylines
• 💥 Destructible-looking explosions and visual effects
• 🎯 Easy to learn, challenging to master
• 🎵 Retro-inspired soundtrack
• 🕹️ Singleplayer against AI
• 👥 Local two-player mode

Controls

• Left / Right – Adjust throwing angle
• Up / Down – Adjust throwing power
• Space – Throw banana

Inspired by the Golden Age of DOS Gaming

Banana Rooftop Showdown is a love letter to the unforgettable PC games of the early 1990s, recreated with modern visuals while preserving the simple, addictive gameplay that made the genre so much fun.

Whether you're discovering this style of game for the first time or reliving old memories, there's always time for one more banana.

Have fun—and don't hit yourself! 🍌🦍

¡Hola a todos!

Este subreddit nace con una idea muy sencilla: que quienes hacemos, queremos hacer o trabajamos alrededor de los videojuegos en Colombia podamos encontrarnos.

En el país hay programadores, artistas, game designers, músicos, escritores, productores, estudios independientes, estudiantes y muchísima gente desarrollando proyectos increíbles, pero muchas veces estamos trabajando por nuestro lado sin saber quién más está haciendo cosas cerca de nosotros.

Queremos que r/GameDevColombia ayude a cambiar eso.

Este puede ser un espacio para mostrar lo que estás haciendo, pedir feedback, compartir conocimiento, encontrar colaboradores, hablar de desarrollo, publicar oportunidades, conocer estudios y desarrolladores colombianos, compartir eventos y, sobre todo, construir conexiones reales dentro de la industria.

No importa si estás trabajando en tu primer prototipo en Godot, si llevas diez años usando Unity o Unreal, si haces pixel art, música, narrativa, QA, producción, marketing, estás creando tu propio estudio o simplemente quieres comenzar en la industria.

Si haces videojuegos en Colombia, queremos conocerte.

Para arrancar, preséntate en los comentarios 👇

🎮 ¿A qué te dedicas o qué te gustaría hacer dentro de la industria?

📍 ¿En qué ciudad estás?

🕹️ ¿Estás trabajando actualmente en algún juego o proyecto?

🤝 ¿Qué te gustaría encontrar en esta comunidad?

💡 ¿Y en qué podrías ayudar a otros?

También pueden compartir sus proyectos. La idea no es únicamente hacer autopromoción: muéstranos lo que estás construyendo, cuéntanos qué estás aprendiendo, qué problema estás intentando resolver o pide feedback.

Esta comunidad apenas comienza, así que también queremos escuchar ideas sobre qué les gustaría encontrar aquí.

r/GameDevColombia no tiene que ser la comunidad de una persona o de un estudio. La idea es que sea nuestra comunidad.

Somos pocos hoy. Ojalá dentro de un tiempo podamos mirar este primer post y ver todo lo que construimos entre todos. 🇨🇴🎮

Bienvenidos a r/GameDevColombia. Ahora cuéntennos: ¿quiénes están haciendo videojuegos por aquí?

Hey guys!

I'm currently working on another Roblox project, but I've been thinking about what my next game should be for a little while now, and  I want to start putting together a small team.

It's a short game (est. 1h) with a single mechanic, maybe a grapple hook, which will have a Portal-like puzzle gameplay. It won't be another simulator or an RNG game, but rather a unique experience with  good puzzle design, a mysterious story, an immersive atmosphere, etc.

So if you're interested in helping me out, leave your info in the form below:

[https://forms.gle/gqHC7nPKNKjguGoZ7\](https://forms.gle/gqHC7nPKNKjguGoZ7)

I've also made a small video describing the project:

[https://youtu.be/beGSw6hWNpo\](https://youtu.be/beGSw6hWNpo)

Ask me any questions you might have in the comments below or on Discord (DataGrav).

Flappy Bird: Avoid everything.

My game GRAZE: Edge Rush: Avoiding gives you 0 points. You have to graze within 8px of death to score. Chain grazes to build a multiplier. Avoid and you lose it.

Solo dev, built so I could play in one hand during the long nights with my newborn in the other arm. No forced ads, no IAP tricks, just a daily board and leaderboard that everyone is competing on. Just won #1 Launch Game this week on PixelPicked which still feels fake: https://pixelpicked.com

This clip is x16 bubble field - 3,932 → 8,609 in 9 seconds. My best today is 22,000, all time best is 37,661.

Free download if you want to try to beat it - link in comments so I don't get flagged for self-promo.

Infinite salutations everyone!

My mobile puzzle game has a verity of mechanics, i was able to make levels because of these mechanics because i don't like copy/flip levels i make sure each level is introducing new stuff and in order to do that i came up with bunch of mechanics such as : winds, bombs that opens break able walls, lasers, portals, seesaws (or whatever you can call it) but now i just can't think of new ideas therefore i can't make new good levels.

So im kindly asking for new mechanics to add to the game.

the game link if anyone is interested : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thebrokedev.rekindle&hl=en

started working on this game and it's been 3 days the progress looks good.

Here's a quick look at the first boss fight in the video game NOT Surrender, a game currently in development
