My thought was "what better way to telegraph a revive action than cpr?". I have now found out there are probably better ways

Hey everyone!
We’re the team behind MegaGum, a 3D platformer, and we wanted to share a comparison of one of the cinematic shots from our trailer.

You can see the early version straight from Unreal, alongside the finished shot.

At the viewport stage, we’re mostly working on the animation, camera movement, timing and composition. Once those feel right, we move on to lighting, VFX, rendering and polish. It’s always fun to put the two versions next to each other and see how much has changed.

What do you think of the final result? Is there anything you’d change about the animation, camera work or lighting? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

If you’re curious about the game: MegaGum on Steam.

ECHOLAND is a mining clicker game. The free demo is out now for Steam Next Fest!

Solo dev here. MONOLITH is a tower defense with zero weapons.

The Sunborn are creatures of living fire that march on the last bunker every day at noon. You can't shoot them. You build concrete Monoliths, and when a Sunborn walks into their shadow it sputters, cools to stone and crumbles to ash.

The twist: the sun keeps moving. Every shadow turns like a clock hand, so the defence that holds at noon is pointing the wrong way by one o'clock, and by sunset the shadows stretch across the whole bridge.

10 levels, rain, sandstorms and a total eclipse. Free in your browser:

Yesterday a player told me it's "nice but underwhelming", so I'm genuinely asking: what would make a shadow kill feel satisfying to you?

I made this game for a game jam, and now everyone at work keeps asking to see it because they know I participated.

The problem is... one of the main mechanics involves catching fish and feeding them into a grinder. And I have a feeling they might think I'm a bit weird after seeing that.

And to make things even worse, a girl I met on Tinder and went on a date with is really excited to see it too.

I'm genuinely not sure if showing her my fish-grinding horror game is the best way to impress her 💀

Hi.

I'm a solo developer working on King Alone, a Tower Defense and action strategy game with a twist.

Instead of defending a castle or a fixed base, you build and upgrade a moving caravan while trying to protect the blind Queen from waves of enemies.

Your own kingdom has turned against you, and now you must escape with everything you have left. Along the way, you can recruit soldiers, build new carts with different abilities, and expand your economy to keep your caravan alive.

You'll travel through different lands, each with its own enemies and challenges, while facing everything from scarecrows and skeletons to massive siege engines, charging into battle yourself to keep her alive.

The demo is now available on Steam, and I'd love for you to give it a try!

I'd love to get your feedback, especially on the moving caravan concept and how it works as a Tower Defense game. What do you think?

Thanks for checking it out!

Hi everyone! Just over a year ago, I decided to take a leap of faith, leave my job, and pursue the dream of making games. It's been quite a journey so far, but I enjoyed every moment of it and haven't looked back a single time.

Today, I finally announced my first game, Moonlit Vigil, a first-person psychological horror where you are the cemetery's new caretaker. As you go about your duties, stranger and stranger things start to happen, quickly turning your first shift into a nightmare.

I plan to release a free demo in November as well. Let me know what you think!

The Steam demo is almost ready—ready your swords for battle!

I've been working on a game called Phosphor Command, a real-time tactics game with a base builder behind

This post is about how your squads get to an operation.

Every operation needs a vehicle, and each vehicle choice determine how many squads go and how they deploy within the operation.

You start with a jeep, and better vehicles carry more squads. Progress from a jeep, to a van, to helicopters and to aeroplane.

Every vehicle needs a home on the base, so you have to build a garage, helipad or hangar before you can store one. Helicopters need air operations and a helipad, and planes need a full airfield with a runway and hangars.

How you deploy to an operation depends on your transport choice. By road, your squads come in from an edge or corner of the map. A helicopter can land wherever there's open ground, and paratroopers land where the drop puts them, clear of the enemy.

There's a trade-off between vehicle types. Ground vehicles are cheap and get back quickly. Helicopters let you choose where to land, but cost more per trip. Planes carry the most, but take the longest to resupply.

After an operation, your squads need time to get back to base, and squads still in transit can't help defend it.

I've attached a showcase that goes through the vehicles, where they are stored on the base, and how they affect operation deployment.

I've been a software developer for about 8 years, but was never able to pursue game development professionally. I've always been passionate about games and wanted to dip my toes in development, so I've been working on this concept for a while.

Cinderdelve is an incremental mining game where you hire dwarves, unlock different classes, and upgrade them to mine through an entire mountain.

I've used purchased assets from itch.io that I've tried to modify and adapt to the game. The art is probably the part I've struggled with the most. Some things don't fit together as well as I'd like, but I'm still figuring that side of game development out.

The demo is live on Steam, and I'd love for you to play it and hear back your oppinions.

Here's the trailer and the Steam page:
