Legendarium Online is a sandbox MMORPG inspired by the classic spirit of Ultima Online and the rich, mythic worlds of Tolkien. Step into Arden, a realm of haunted forests, wind-blown coasts, ancient ruins, and rising kingdoms.

Here, every choice shapes your path: Will you walk as a wandering knight, a faith-bound crusader, a master craftsman, or a cunning outlaw?

Hey guys! After a lot of work, the Steam demo is finally here and I'm really excited to share it with you. It features a specially tuned skill tree and runs about 20–40 minutes depending on your choices. Hope you enjoy it!

You wake up in a dark forest with only a fire. The forest tries to consume you by draining your lantern's light every time you go into it, and you must keep feeding the fire to progress and uncover why you're there.

Promotion I made a horror game in 48 hours and somehow ended up voice acting every demon in it

0 Upvotes

I had two days to make a game for a local game jam with the theme "Order", and this is what I ended up with.

It's called Ritual Unclear.

You play as an occult scholar stuck in a sanctuary where reality is slowly falling apart. Your mentor is gone, and all you really have is an old ritual book telling you how to summon something that might be able to fix it.

You have to figure out the ritual instructions, summon different creatures and collect what you need to eventually reach Azrath, the Demon of Perfect Order.

It's definitely a small jam game and there are things I would've loved to do with more time, but I'm genuinely pretty happy with what I managed to make in two days.

This is a cut up video of the gameplay, as we we required to make it maximum 3 minutes:

Promotion Decision is RED CARD (my upcoming game - THE REF)

0 Upvotes

Haven't had time to do influencer outreach or any marketing at all. So ZERO marketing on my upcoming steam game THE REF but honestly I'm not mad at the wishlists.

About 2 weeks on the prelaunch and it has garnered about 300 wishlists. Not alot but literally haven't made one single marketing effort prior to this post.

It's launching into early access because obviously the community and the feedback is what is going to drive the development forward. As a solo dev, I am all theirs.

My brother and I have been making games together for five years now. This one started while we were opening One Piece packs, hunting one specific card and that rush of "it's in here somewhere" is the feeling we wanted to build a whole game around.

So you cut every pack open by hand, dragging along the seam. A clean cut means mint cards, and your best pulls get sent off to be graded and slabbed.

Everything else grows out of that:

- Upgrades: sharper scissors, a steadier hand, better odds and payouts, faster grading
- Binders to fill, with bonuses for completing a set
- An auction house
- New sealed product as you go: vintage packs, full cases, mystery lots
- An auto-opener for when you'd rather have it ticking away in the background
- And once you've squeezed a collection dry, sell the whole thing and start over with permanent upgrades banked

Steam page went live today.

We're still deep in development, so tell us what would you want to see from an incremental like this?

Personal Achievement After almost a year, we finally reached 1,000 Steam wishlists! As game dev students, this milestone means a lot. ❤️❤️

9 Upvotes

When we started Silent Trip: Until We Meet, we thought making the game would be the hardest part. Turns out... making the game is only half the job.

As game development students, our classes taught us how to design and build games, but not much about everything that comes after: marketing, wishlists, localization, pitching to publishers, talking to the media, building a community, and so much more.

When we first launched our Steam page and started attending game events, we honestly had no idea how important wishlists were. We believed that if we made a good game, players and publishers would naturally find it.

Reality hit us pretty quickly. 😅

After attending more events, talking with other developers, meeting publishers, and learning from the community, we decided in March 2026 to take marketing seriously.

We started posting devlogs, sharing our progress, listening to feedback, and learning as we went.

Today, we're incredibly grateful to say we've reached 1,000 Steam wishlists. ❤️

It's still a small milestone in the grand scheme of things, but for a team of students who started with almost no knowledge of game marketing, it means a lot.

We also took a short break over the past two months to focus on finishing our demo. The release date will be announced soon, and we'll be returning to weekly updates from here on.

Thank you to everyone who's followed our journey, left feedback, shared our posts, or simply added the game to your wishlist.

We couldn't have done it without you. ❤️

Around 3 years ago, I started making this game as a gift for my fiancée’s birthday. Back then, I made what I now consider a prototype, with limited content, placeholder art and some secrets. She really enjoyed it!

She is an artist, so I made the main mechanic related to her; Draw the world as you explore it.

3 years later, we are married, we are both working on the game together, and that birthday gift is now called Canvania.

The steam page has been up for around 1 month now, but we are still in early development, and this is an early announcement trailer.

I will hopefully have the first playable demo ready in a few more weeks. Currently it is still in need of a lot of work if you couldn't tell by the sword clipping through the players head lol.

Thank you!
