“I have a (what I think) quite unique game that has been in development for the past months. It’s a 3d tycoon builder (art dealer where you buy/sell real art and with a very in-depth gallery building system and a dozen or so unique features) that is slowly ready to get a trailer…”

“You are the source of light, you will be controlling the light or most of these are so dark and you should use your battery carefully. You should be able to walk in these paintings, they're connected in an order as pieces of a map. So I am drawing the behind version for all of them because you should turn back and be able to travel. Also they have animations and interactions. submitted by /u/Medartes [link] [comments]”
“Steam Page I'm on the last legs of shipping my first survival horror/soulslike concept on Steam, it's a backrooms rpg slot machine. Think silent hill meets buckshot roulette. Here's the itch.io demo, Let me know what you think. submitted by /u/rogemana [link] [comments]”
“Hey! I'm a solo dev working on a horror game called GRINDWORM. For a long time I used two key art pieces that I drew myself, but I finally told myself: "That's enough. You need key art made by someone who's really good at this stuff". So here it is! Don't be confused if you've seen my game with different artwork and a different logo, it's still the same game. I hope you like the new look as much as I do! Let me know what you think! And last but not least, GRINDW”
“Hi everyone Sorry if this is unsolicited self-promotion or anything but this is a project by a group of friends who are extremely passionate about video games. We have a set of skills that we'd like to make use of by providing an extremely valuable service to the indie community. We create trailers and social media content for indie devs and you can see our work for yourself through our website link below. You may feel like you don't have the time or creativity to do trailers for your ga”
“Hey there! We are 2 game developers from Germany, and are soon releasing a 2D game on Steam. Part of our game are post stamps. Whats amazing about post stamps is their vastly different styles, created by so many different artists. So far we have been using placeholders/stock icons, but for the release we want to replace them. We despise the use of AI art, so we are looking for 50 real artists to each create one icon/post stamps for our game! The post stamps each have a motif, mostly nature theme”
“I've been iterating pretty heavily on the presentation of my game — Steam capsule, screenshots, gameplay footage, website, visual identity, etc. https://store.steampowered.com/app/5142640/SORTALIS/ I'm getting to the point where I'm wondering: am I actually there yet? Not "is the game good," but purely from a marketing perspective: Does this look polished/professional enough to wishlist? Can you quickly tell what kind of game it is? What do you think the main hook is? What”

“I see a lot of AI slop capsule arts these days, and honestly it really sucks. Have you worked with a capsule artist that you can recommended ? I've seen posts on r/HungryArtists , but honestly most of them are either mid or AI-made. Chris made a spreadsheet with artist recommendations, where I've sent a few requests through email, but none of them have replied so far. My budget is around $500. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/lakisha_ [link] [comments]”

“Finally got my capsule art done professionally! It's definitely a tough game to do a capsule for because of the minimalist nature of it but Daniel really pulled through for me :D Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4581570/Autonomous_Air_Combat/ Artist: https://www.artstation.com/canoirus submitted by /u/saihaj7 [link] [comments]”
“I used to have AI-generated art on my Steam page, but I decided to hire a studio to create the artwork for it. Was it worth it?

“Hi guys! I'm the solo dev for a cozy crafts game, Meander. You draw with crochet stitches, create new brushes, doodle animations and put everything together in a scrapbook.

“We’re participating in the Steam Scream V event. We’ve been playtesting the core gameplay, but some of the art and animations still need work. I’m worried those rough spots could become people’s first impression of the whole game. If you’ve released a demo at that stage, how did it go? Did players understand it was still in development, or did they mostly focus on the unfinished art? I'm losing sleep over this! submitted by /u/BoltzEntertainment [link] [comments]”

“3 months ago I made a post here asking if I should hire an artist to make the Steam capsule for my roguelike rocket jumping game Upwell.

“The old one was just a screenshot that I photoshopped a bit. The new one cost me about 200 USD, which I think is really worth it! Is there anything you would improve? Steam page if you're interested - store.steampowered.com/app/3892840/Robo_Fight/ submitted by /u/jujaswe [link] [comments]”

“We’re making a cozy cooking sim where we blend a wholesome story with restaurant management and economy mechanics. Everything is wrapped up in a beautiful, 100% hand drawn art style. NO AI inwoled. We have our own list of inspirations, but I’m super curious to hear from you. When you hear this mix of features, what games immediately come to mind? submitted by /u/leinadcovsky [link] [comments]”

“I’m working on Wallpets , an interactive desktop wallpaper app where animated animal companions live on your desktop and react to what you do. I know this is not a traditional game, but it is built around real-time scenes, animated characters, and interactive visual spaces. I attached a short promo video so you can see the idea in action. Wallpaper Engine is probably the most well-known product in this space. I actually own it and use it, so I understand why Steam feels like the obvious platform”
“I'm a solo dev, And my artist specializes in character art. But it's just the two of us.

“Hello! We’re a two-person team of artists, and today we finally launched the Steam page for our first game, Dark Coffee ☕ .) It’s a cozy horror visual novel about a witch named Carrozia, who runs a small coffee shop in the fog-covered town of Mursvinch . The main idea behind the game is that dialogue choices are expressed through drinks. Visitors don’t clearly say what they want - the player has to listen carefully, read between the lines, and brew the right drink using the right ingredients. Wh”
“Title! I just released the steam page for this game i'm working on. I'm making a nonogram game which is a puzzle game that relaxing in nature, and "cozy", but I love my silly weird monsters so the game is centered around unlocking them. So I wanted to get the public's opinion cause even if I find them cute they might be too off putting to be called "cozy"? Not sure if I can advertise it that way as a result...what do you all think? submitted by /u/Sini”

“Hi game developers! As part of a challenge I made a clone of a game but with all original art. I've never done pixel art before so I would really appreciate any feedback or guidance on the end result or my process. I'm was going for an SNES era style. I used a palette I found on lospec and just kind of threw myself into it with some references and many hours. I've got a video on my art process here https://youtu.be/H5Izbp94AXY I'm open to any kind of feedback really, but especial”
