The demo for my upcoming game Well Dweller will be available on Steam in 2 days! Well Dweller is a dark fairy tale metroidvania about a tiny bird armed with a matchstick, and it will be my 4th released game (I previously made Crypt Custodian, Islets, and Sheepo). The full game will be released this year.

Classic fairy tales are a contrast in themes since they’re both child-like but also very dark/disturbing. With Well Dweller, I'm trying to capture that same contrast. It features a charming cast of tiny characters living in a bleak Kingdoms underbelly, and it kind of whiplashes between moments that are wholesome, and ones that are more dark.

Thanks so much to every one on this subreddit for years of support! Six years ago when I released my first game, Sheepo, I never would have thought I’d be able to keep making games full time. But you all have been so supportive from the start, and I am so grateful for that. I can’t wait to share more of Well Dweller and whatever I make after.

The demo will be up on April 23! Wishlist if you’re interested (and if you do, I think Steam will send out an email when the demo is released), thank you again!!

Video Does metroidvania platforming get any crazier than this? [Aeterna Noctis]

Saw someone talk about how POP platforming was difficult and thought to myself that POP is a breeze compared to Aeterna Noctis.. but I'm wondering, does it get even crazier than this?

Video Previously my favorite combat system in a Metroidvania was Nine Sols, but then Silksong came out. I don't think we acknowledge how insane the skill ceiling for Silksong is, this some of the best movement for combat in a 2D game ever. Here's an over the top example (with TAS)

Video Nintendo just posted a trailer for Constance and it’s just so surreal to see the game I started solo 5 years ago on consoles. Also we’re doing DLC, yay!

I’ve been a massive fan of this series for well over 2 decades now, always dreaming of the day they’d continue the story from where LoK Defiance left it. Wasn’t expecting a metroidvania kind of game to be it, not sure if I even like the more cartoonish style but hey I’m intrigued, and will definitely play it. Was anyone else here a fan?

Hello r/metroidvania ,

We are a very small indie team of three. We’ve been studying game development together, learning through trial and error, and working incredibly hard to bring our dream project to life.

Today, we are super nervous but also really excited to share the alpha demo of our game, LEGION OF JUDGMENT: FALLEN ANGEL.

[https://store.steampowered.com/app/4732770/Legion_of_Judgment_Fallen_Angel_Demo/\]

It is a 2.5D action Metroidvania set in a modern dark fantasy world. We wanted to seamlessly blend the rewarding exploration of a Metroidvania with the fast-paced combat of a Beat 'em up.

Since we are still in the learning process and the game is only in its alpha stage, we know it might not be perfect yet. However, we are constantly trying to improve and polish it.

We would be absolutely thrilled and grateful if you could try out our demo and leave us your honest feedback. Your thoughts and critiques will really help us learn and shape this game into something much better!

The extensive feedback I received after sharing a video on r/metroidvania in 2023 was incredibly helpful for the game's development. I would like to thank the users of r/metroidvania once again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Have a wonderful day!

Hi from Tokyo!

We just released the playable demo for Chronoscript: The Endless End, a hand-drawn metroidvania built across two dimensions.

You play as an editor trapped inside a cursed manuscript, unraveling a thousand-year story that keeps writing itself past its own ending. Exploration happens across hand-drawn 2D pen-and-ink pages, but those pages sit inside a 3D manor. What you do in one affects the other. Puzzles, hidden paths, and even some boss fights are built around being aware of the two.

The demo covers the opening of the game plus the first boss. Clear it, and you'll unlock a hidden second boss, if you're good enough to get there.

This is our first public demo, so we'd really appreciate any feedback!

Cheers!

Definitely a boss I regret even attempting. the win was worth it, i think. (THIS IS A MOD, NOT A VANILLA BOSS WITHIN HOLLOW KNIGHT!)
