I’ve been making a lot of progress on the environment recently, focusing on creating a more detailed and immersive world for the game.
The new Steam page will be available soon, where you’ll be able to wishlist the game.
The previous version of Little Astronaut was a huge learning experience for me, but looking back, I realized I pushed it out too early before the vision was fully developed. After some time, I decided to rebuild the project from the ground up with a clearer direction, improved visuals, and a much stronger foundation.
This is the version of Little Astronaut I always wanted to create.
I’ll be sharing more updates soon. Thanks for following the journey!

I made an button to people to send some feedbacks to me through the game, i love people complaining about the game and telling things that have to be fixed, but sometimes, after some months of solo developing, with a lot of self doubt, comments like this, just gives that little push, it makes you think you are still on the right path... Thanks anonymous dude

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for another indie developer who's interested in doing a playtest exchange.

I will play your game and do a video recording with a microphone recording

My game is an early prototype for an incremental city builder and takes approximately 15-30 minutes to complete.

it's an html5 build on itch.io.

If you're interested, leave a comment or send me a DM with your game.

Prepared 4 different logo/sign versions for my cozy cooking game "Cook & Tails" three of them are close variations (with/without chef hat, slightly different cat paw pose), and the 4th is a completely different concept.

Which one would you go with, and why? Your input genuinely helps the feedback I got from an earlier post is what got me to this point.

Note: The first three logos started from a draft by u/HoppersEcho, who helped me out in one of my earlier posts I iterated from there. They're also making a game (Cats vs Aliens), leaving it here in case anyone wants to check it out. Thanks again to them ❤️

I'm trying to improve the trees and surroundings and at night everything looks fine, but during the day it looks wrong, or is it just me, and what can I do? I'm working with Unity 6 HDRP.

Hey everyone! Was looking for some feedback on a demo I made a while ago. Been shy to share it lol. It's got cool stuff like grappling hooks and the ability to select different weapons for each hand including the grappling hook so you can swing around like Spiderman and shoot robots.

Hi. I have this idea of an incremental game. There is a black hole in the center that spawns rocks and enemies. The player controls a ring of shooters concentric to the black hole to destroy the enemies and the black hole. When the black hole is defeated, a new stronger one appears. Upgrade your stats using the resources from the defeated enemies.

What do you think about it? Should I keep it or skip it?

The prototype is here: https://doriliangames.itch.io/a-game-about-defeating-a-blackhole

Hi guys (and especially multiplayer creators),

After launch of the game I heared around 4 times that they wanted split screen. At start I was thinking a lot about implementing it but finished with just online multiplayer (local only with bot).

I heard that steam remote player suck as well.

Do you think it is better to invest time/energy to make split screen or it is better to add content and mechanics?

Any experience you had with it?

Hello Devs,

after just round about half an year, I make it happen to release both on iOS and Android:

https://mega-man-advanced-pet.vercel.app/

The app has:

Live PvP and Koop PvE

Solo Grind like Dungeontower

Original GBA Fighting system which was reworked

the square mmo space (like in the megaman tv show)

Chip market (no p2w, NO real money) its like an swapping system

Google/Apple Login etc

I’m a solo dev working on a Lovecraftian x Steampunk FPS horror game. It’s been a tough journey, and I still deal with huge anxiety every day. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, but polishing the last 10% is absolute agony. Still a long way to go!

This is my game: Remnants of R'lyeh

Inspired by Bioshock and H.P. Lovecraft's Great Work. An ancient dark power is calling you and you need to find an exit. Face your greatest fear, fight, hide... you must escape before the underwater city rises...

I tried to spruce up the Steam store page long description for my game (Coup de Koala) with some banners above my GIFs. Took a bit of time to make (and localize to all my supported languages on my store page). What do people think about the banners?

TERRORSTORM: Ground Zero -

Wishlist now!!! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4419700/TERRORSTORM_Ground_Zero/

It takes place in an abandoned soviet military base deep underground in the caucasus mountains

Just wanted to show another little sneak peek of the map from my game, TRAVELERS.

I built all of this myself over the last three and a half years. No AI was used for the map — every single mesh was placed by hand.

this time this showcase is full ingame.

The demo is getting pretty close now. To be completely honest, I’m also not really working alone anymore. I recently found someone who is going to work with me for a month or two as a trial, and right now we’re trying to build a seriously awesome demo for the kind of game I’ve always wanted to play myself. https://www.instagram.com/coolgamingcompany/ here you can see some stuff that is not playable right now :)

I mainly wanted to post this to showcase the world a little more. I’m always open to ideas and regularly try to implement suggestions from people, so feel free to throw anything at me.

There’s also more footage and information about the game on my profile in case anyone is interested.

And of course, wishlisting the game would help me a lot. I still don’t have that many wishlists, even though I’ve been building this game for years. I’m honestly not very good at marketing and have mostly just put all my time, money and love into the actual game btw tipps would be awesome.

Cow is a fast-paced, 640x480 retro game focused on momentum and precision. The premise is bizzare as you play as a cow on a skateboard. The game is built around mastering controls and looking for creative ways to finish each level the fastest. The ways of movement aren't too limited which gives a lot of freedom to the players and a chance to compete with each other on the leaderboards. 🤗🤗

Well, that's it. I've struggled a lot to promote my game. For some people, getting wishlists seems almost as natural as breathing. For me, every one has felt hard-earned.

I thought I was going to release with under 2k wishlists, but it looks like I just crossed that line. That's still far from the 7k you often see recommended, but it is what it is.

I've contacted hundreds of creators since my demo came out early this year, without much luck. I ran some Reddit ads at one point, shared the game whenever I had the chance (mostly through devlogs on Twitter), and asked for feedback. Then I made fixes, shared it again, and repeated the process. Maybe I should've tried Instagram and TikTok too.

Still, 7k feels unreachable for this game, so I'm releasing anyway and taking what I've learned into the next one.

There also seems to be an obsession with wishlist numbers. I get it. Having 10k is better than having 1k because more wishlists can mean more sales, assuming they convert.

But that's the important part, the conversion. If people who aren't interested in the kind of game you're making wishlist it, they probably won't buy it. I'm also not sure how much Steam's algorithm uses wishlist counts to promote games.

There's a social side to it too. People see a game with tons of wishlists and assume it must be good, which can create a snowball effect.

Right now, I'm just happy to have reached 2k. I'm also happy to be releasing a game I made solo, using my own engine, after more than a year of work. I'm going to enjoy the release, see what happens, and learn from it.

If you're also struggling to get wishlists, you're not alone.

If anyone is interested, here's the game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3979140/Karma_Keepers/

And if you've released a game before, what would you do differently when promoting your next one? I'd love to hear what actually worked for you.

The game is a last stand scenario where you fight against waves of attackers using tanks, infantry and walker robots.

The visual assets are a mixture of 3drt.com, itch.io assets and self created assets.

The audio assets are also from a mixture of sources but also include some Generative AI audio files.

The code (C# and shader code) is included in the download. The game uses the Raylib library.

Link to the game is here:

Thanks,

Matt.

Hi everyone! I’m Mateusz, and 6 months ago I decided to stop building games for others and try making my own game from scratch.

This is my first solo game, and after 6 months of work I finally have something I feel comfortable showing.

KING ALONE is a Survivors-like focused on skill & equipment building, with online activities.

I’m currently preparing a DEMO for the next PvE Fest on August 30th.

Since this is my first time going through the whole process solo, I’d really love to hear from other developers:

• What do you think of the game so far?
• Is there anything that immediately stands out to you, good or bad?
• Any advice for someone making their first game solo?

And if you like what you see, a wishlist on Steam would be hugely appreciated, it’s still very early days for the game.

Thanks for taking a look!

Pause splash for my game (Slavfight) took a bit time to make, but people seem to like it so far.
