“Hey everyone, I’ve been working on an anomaly game called AIRPORT 7 and the Steam page is finally live. It’s a short psychological horror game inspired by The Exit 8, liminal spaces and surreal environments. Basically you’re stuck in an endless airport terminal and have to pay attention to your surroundings. If you notice an anomaly, turn back. If everything looks normal, keep going. I’ve been working on this for almost a year and I’m really happy to finally have the page public 😭 The game is s”

“Hey r/IndieGaming ! It's launch day! He Who Watches, our first-person, gravity shifting puzzle game from solo developer Bobby Vanden is OUT NOW on Steam and itch.io ! We've shared this here a few times and got a lot of enthusiasm, but also quite a few people said that the gravity-shifting was a little overwhelming! For our launch trailer, we tried making a slower paced video with voice-over explaining the game. What do you think? Congratulations to Bobby for getting this out into the wor”

“so this is a big one for us. we just put up the steam page for our first game. three of us started this with basically no art experience. we ended up making every single asset ourselves because we couldn't afford not to, and honestly there were a few points where we almost scrapped everything and started over. but here we are. the game's a lumberjack incremental. you chop trees in different forests, process the logs into lumber, sell it, and use the money to level up your character or un”

“Hey everyone! I’ve been working on Survivors Gate, which is basically a high-speed runner mixed with roguelite build crafting. It is inspired by suvivors games (there comes the name from) but instead of walking in circles in an open arena, you have unstoppable forward momentum and steer freely from side to side while dodging hazards, picking gate modifiers, and grabbing crazy abilities. It is also kind a like those fake mobile ads but a real game tho. You can choose different heroes, mounts and”
“Hi! I’m the developer of Alice’s Gaze , a dark fairy-tale incremental idle game. The game launched about a day ago and has sold over 6,000 copies so far, which was far beyond my expectations. I’m now looking into Steam collaborative bundles, but I’ve never set one up before. How do indie developers usually find suitable games and developers to partner with? Is it best to contact them directly, or are there communities or other common ways to connect? Also, what tends to make a good bundle match—”
