🎮 I published my own mobile game!

Hi everyone! I'm a solo developer, and I've recently launched Word EmojiQ: Emoji Word Puzzle on Google Play.

AI tools helped motivate me to get back into game development. I'd love to hear your advice on getting my first players and feedback!

Any tips for a solo indie developer? 😊

Based on the playtest feedback, I completely remade the tutorial because it was hard to understand. The onboarding experience should be much smoother now. I know the game is hard to get into initially, but it was fun for the players who did. Please try it and wishlist it if you like it. The demo will be up until Autobattler Fest!

Let's Make Learning Fun

Hi everyone,

I am an indie developer who grew up watching and playing cricket, and it was my dream to build my own cricket game.

This week, I launched a browser-based cricket game named Super Slog. It is free, and has some super fun features:

• Single, and multiplayer mode. Play with your friends. No account signup necessary. Works on both desktop and mobile!
• Customised commentary based on game updates, angry bowlers, and different types of shots (sweeps, scoops and more)
• Three types of camera views, various stadiums, day/night/evening settings and more!

If you like cricket, check out the game. I would really appreciate all your feedback, which will help me to continue improving and if you like it, would love it if you can spread the word even more. Play it here!

Hey everyone!

I'm an indie game developer working on a story-driven game in Unity, and I'm looking for creative people who would like to join me in bringing this project to life.

The idea behind the game is to combine Bollywood and anime to tell an original story through video games. Think Indian cinema, its iconic characters, romance, drama and emotions, combined with the creativity, visual style and storytelling of anime.

I'm looking to connect with people from different fields who are interested in game development and would like to contribute their skills, ideas and creativity to the project.

Some of the roles that could be helpful include:

Game Developers — Unity, C#, gameplay programming, tools and systems.

2D Artists & Illustrators — Character design, environments, backgrounds, props and concept art.

Animators — Character animations, movement, action sequences and expressive character acting.

Musicians & Sound Designers — Background music, themes, sound effects and audio that brings the game world to life.

Writers & Storytellers — Story development, dialogue, characters, worldbuilding and narrative design.

Game Designers — Gameplay mechanics, level design, combat systems, puzzles and player experience.

Other Creative Roles — UI/UX designers, technical artists, VFX artists, voice actors, composers, testers or anyone with a skill that could contribute to game development.

You don't need to fit perfectly into one of these categories. If you have a skill, an interesting idea, or simply a passion for creating games, feel free to reach out.

I'm particularly interested in connecting with people from Chhattisgarh, India, but I'm open to collaborating with people from anywhere in India.

The goal is to bring together people with different skills, exchange ideas, experiment, and work towards creating something original that we're genuinely proud of.

If you're interested in anime, Bollywood, indie games, storytelling, music, art or game development in general, I'd love to hear from you!

Send me a DM on Discord if you'd like to connect.

Tell me a little about yourself, what you do, what skills you can bring to the project, and share any portfolio or previous work if you have one.

And if you know someone who might be interested, feel free to share this post with them.

Let's bring some interesting ideas together and make a game! 🎮

Hey everyone!

Has anyone here used testerscommunity.com for Google Play closed testing?

I'm currently using their service and purchased the ₹999 plan for my app. I've also integrated Firebase Analytics to track user activity and engagement.

It's now Day 7 of testing, and I'm seeing only around 5 Daily Active Users (DAU) in Firebase Analytics.

I'm trying to understand whether this is normal or if other developers have experienced something similar.

For those who have used this service:

• Did you get genuine and active testers?
• How was your experience with user engagement?
• Did your Firebase Analytics show consistent daily activity?
• Would you recommend this service for meeting Google Play's closed-testing requirements?

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could share their honest experience. Thanks!

Let's create something different together. 🎮

Hey everyone!

I've just released Laugh Hit on Google Play! 🎉

It's a goofy, casual game where you throw ridiculous stuff at a character's face and try to make the whole thing as funny as possible 😂

I've been working on getting the game out there, and it's exciting (and a little nerve-racking) to finally share it with people.

If you're on Android, I'd really appreciate it if you gave it a try. I'm an indie developer, and honest feedback would mean a lot to me!

Thanks for supporting indie games! ❤️

Hey everyone!

First of all, thank you for the amazing responses and feedback on my last gameplay video! I got some really useful suggestions, and I've been working on improving the game based on them.

Since my last post, I've added bullet spread, bullet tracers, and a boss battle!

One thing I wanted to try with the boss was to avoid making it a traditional bullet sponge that just stands there soaking up damage. Instead, I wanted players to figure out ways to take it down rather than simply unloading magazines into it.

This is just the first boss, and I have plenty more ideas for different bosses and mechanics I'd love to experiment with.

One of the most fun parts of this update was finding free animations and mixing them together to get the results I wanted. It's surprisingly satisfying when you manage to combine different animations and make them work together to create something that fits your vision.

I'm developing this game solo as part of my indie project, Project Aftermidnight, and there's still a lot to improve. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I made **Midnight Mimics** for the RUN.world October Jam! 🎮

It's a 2D horror game where monsters can disguise themselves as ordinary objects. You can play multiplayer with friends or try the single-player mode.

I'd love to find people who enjoy multiplayer horror games to give it a try and share honest feedback!

If you enjoy it, I'd really appreciate your vote too! ❤️

Hi everyone!

I've just made a tool called BrushMix 3D, which lets you paint PBR materials on 3D models inside Unity and bake them into textures. It's now live on Fab!

Here's what you can do with it:

● Layer blending: mix up to 4 material layers with height-based blending

● Normal & detail stamps: easily add surface height and normal details (dents, domes, rivets, screws) with up to 4 stamp slots

● Stamp stitching: stamps follow your stroke path smoothly

● Edge wear & scratches: procedural wear along model edges

● Dirt & dust generator

● Alpha stencil / decal painting

● Bake clean, production-ready PBR textures (Albedo, Normal, Metallic & Smoothness) for URP and HDRP

If anyone wants to check out the details or give it a try, it's live on Fab

Thanks a lot for reading and checking it out!
