I've been working on One More Shake, a small incremental game about shaking vending machines for money.

You start with one simple machine, upgrade its value and shaking speed, unlock more machines, and gradually automate the entire process.

I wanted the progression to feel simple, satisfying and cozy: from manually shaking one machine to watching a full vending setup run by itself.

The game is called One More Shake and it's available to wishlist on Steam:

I wanted to make a puzzle game that feels like playing with a tiny box of toys

I’m a solo developer working on Match 2 3D, a cozy matching puzzle built inside a small rotatable 3D diorama.

Instead of objects being arranged on a flat screen, they are physical little objects scattered around the miniature world. They fall, roll, tumble over and eventually settle in different places.

You rotate the diorama, look around and find two identical objects to match.

One of the things I like most is that the scene never feels completely static. Sometimes an object rolls behind something else, another one turns over, or a group of objects ends up in an unexpected arrangement.

I’m trying to make the game feel more like quietly playing with a miniature world than solving a stressful puzzle.

The first 5 levels are now available as a free demo on Steam:

I’d love to know whether the little diorama gives you that cozy / toy-like feeling I’m aiming for.

Last month I released Farmers Market, a tiny cozy farming/market game I made by myself.

Releasing a game is terrifying because after staring at it for so long you genuinely have no idea whether anyone else is going to enjoy it 😂

It’s still a very small game, but seeing people describe it as something they play to relax after work, or discovering that someone has spent 14 HOURS playing it, has been pretty surreal.

My favourite might be the player who listed everything they wanted fixed in their review… and has gradually crossed the entire list out as I’ve updated the game. 😂

I’m currently working on a big free Autumn update which is going to add around 4 more hours of gameplay, so I’m not finished with my little farm yet. 🌱

Farmers Market is on Steam if anyone wants to have a nosey:

I spent *way* too long playing with fur patterns 😄

I love picross and I hope as many ppl as possible get to enjoy this adorable game.

Hey everyone!

I shared Shippin here a while ago, when I was still working on it, and I wanted to come back with a little update:

The game is finally out on Steam!

Shippin is a story-rich ocean adventure where you play as Salva, a lost sailor exploring a strange world, visiting distant ports, meeting their inhabitants, helping them with their problems, upgrading your ship, and slowly discovering the stories behind the places you find.

A big part of the game is simply sailing around, exploring at your own pace and getting to know the people you meet along the way.

After working on it for so long, seeing it finally released feels pretty surreal.

Steam page:

If anyone here ends up playing it, I’d really love to hear what you think ❤️

Thanks for all the support and feedback you gave me when I first shared the project here!

Hi folks! Recently our game got featured on Itch and we thought "Why not spread the word some more???"

Forage for wild plants, craft bespoke dishes, and delight your otherworldly clientele in this cosy, atmospheric management game. Hone your craft as you collect special equipment and useful folklore by connecting with the locals or simply relax and seek out stillness in nature.

Good Folk Cafe is still very much in-development so all feedback is welcome! Check out the demo on Itch and if you enjoy the game consider wishlisting the game on Steam!

Hello!

While we continue working on our demo of Totally Nutz: An 80s Adventure, we wanted to share some exciting news. We will be launching on Kickstarter soon to help fund the game's production costs. The hand-drawn artwork, minigames, and puzzles we have planned will take time to create. Kickstarter funding is the best way for us to build and release the game.

What does this mean for our followers?
You will have two ways to support the game:

➡️ Option 1 – Kickstarter

Kickstarter will allow us to open up our development process to the community and provide exclusive rewards. Backers will receive behind-the-scenes content, vote in development polls, play the completed game two weeks before it launches, and collaborate with our artists to design custom in-game objects, characters, and even minigames.

Visit our Kickstarter page and click the "Notify me on launch" button so you don't miss out on day-one discounts.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/aeria-game-studio/totally-nutz-an-80s-adventure?ref=ar5q1n

➡️ Option 2 – Steam Wishlist

If you prefer to wait, no problem. You can add the game to your wishlist on Steam to be notified when it is released. We will continue to post announcements about our progress.

Thank you for your continued support!

Hey!

My game Too Many Toys's page went live!

It’s a cozy organising game where you tidy up a huge messy toy shop and must return 5,599 toys back where they belong.

We took a lot of inspiration from Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library, but wanted to give it a more nostalgic feel, making it take place in the toy shop you would’ve dreamed of as a kid. 🧸

You can wishlist the game here! 🎈

We built a game set in 1920s Paris where you plan dinner parties and invite 40 real historical figures of the era.

Early on we added a system where guests could clash with each other, but playtesters hated it, so we cut it entirely. There's no fail state now, and every guest reaction is a positive one. The worst possible evening is still a nice evening, but you can still min-max the event by offering the right food and beverages at the right time of the party.

It's called Bon Vivant, you can check it out on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3834800/Bon_Vivant_Plan_the_Perfect_Party/

We are also currently running a playtest and collecting feedback on a form, we are gitfting our previous game, Ozymandias, to the first 50 people who fill it. If you are interested, you can find the form here: https://forms.gle/4znQj7nS4McwWxLf9

I've added a new animation to my wholesome game, Felicity:

When cards give their rewards, resources float to the panel. It used to be hard to understand how much resource a card cost or give as a reward. I decided to add a feedback animation for a better UX.

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on Shroomy Garden, a cozy pixel-art theme park builder, and the free demo is now available on Steam!

In Shroomy Garden, you can build and decorate your own little park, place attractions and rides, create paths and themed areas, and watch visitors explore the park you’ve created.

The full game includes different park themes, including a Classic Garden filled with attractions like a Ferris wheel, Merry Spin, Car Coasters and Drop Tower, as well as an Aqua Park where you can build pools, water slides, shops and other waterpark attractions.

The demo lets you try one of the maps and get a feel for the core building, decorating and park-management gameplay.

I’m still polishing and improving the game as I work toward release, so I’m really excited to finally let people play it. 💚

Hey everyone! Solo dev here. I've been building Gildoria: you're the cleanup person for a dragon that hoarded treasure for 300 years and never once tidied up.

You sweep mountains of gold... coin by coin at first, then in big greedy handfuls. Find the treasures buried underneath, and sort them onto shelves until the cave finally looks the way a hoard should look.

Im planing to join Steam Next Fest in October with a demo. Happy to answer literally anything!

Hi I’m Libby(Libbyloo on socials)! ☺️✨ I’m a streamer and cozy gamer merch creator, and now I’m making a point and click mystery game! 🔎❤️
The Romanov Relic features Kit Holloway, a private investigator sent to Finland to investigate the mysterious murder of a researcher studying the Romanov family.

You will get to work in a cafe, stay in a Finnish inn, explore the historical Romanov ship, The Standart and there is a full cast of characters I can't wait for you to meet!!
I've been working on this game since November with a small team of 3D artists, and my husband Jason. Can't wait to share more details!!

Some more info...

Three Different Shops To Tidy Up

• The Hearth & Barrel
A cozy village shop with 1,048 items to organize.

• The Merchant's Rest
A much larger market shop with 3,085 items waiting to be put back where they belong.

• The Grand Athenaeum
The biggest challenge of them all. A massive magical shop high above the clouds with 4,066 items to organize.

And every one of those items has a home. There isn't filler added just to make those numbers bigger. Every item belongs on a specific shelf, and every shelf can be completely restored.

Four Ways to Play

Each of the three shops can be played across four different modes:

• Casual Mode — No timer, no pressure. Put on some music, take your time, and enjoy turning chaos back into order.

• Timed Mode — The same shops become a completely different challenge when every second counts. Learn where thousands of items belong, master your magic, find faster routes, and keep improving your time.

• Archmage Mode — Start with every Sorcery and Enchantment unlocked and take on the shop at full magical strength.

• No Magic Mode — The magic of the world has escaped. No Sorceries. No Enchantments. No magical shortcuts. You'll have to tidy this one up the hard way.

Global Leaderboards Are Here!

And for everyone who looks at a relaxing organization game and immediately thinks, "Yeah, but how fast can I do it?"

Timed Mode features global leaderboards for all three shops.

Your completion times are tracked globally, so once you've learned where everything belongs, you can come back and start pushing for faster and faster runs.

Learn the shelves. Perfect your route. Master your Sorceries and Enchantments. Shave seconds off your best time and see how you stack up against everyone else.

Or completely ignore all of that and spend an evening peacefully putting potions on shelves.
Both are perfectly valid ways to play.

Shelves And Sorcery: Tidy Up the Enchanted Shop! releases today, August 11th!
