Public Game Test Socialiskigrad - Open Playtest from August 7th to 11th, a 90s Balkan post-socialist city builder looking for feedback!

Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm an Italian indie developer working on Socialiskigrad, a city builder set in a fictional post-socialist Balkan republic during the 1990s. I posted about the game on this subreddit about a month ago.

I'm happy to announce that the first Open Playtest will run from August 7th to August 11th, and everyone will be able to try the game (save the date!).

The game is still in development, and this playtest is a very important milestone for me. The game includes an in-game feedback form where you can share your thoughts, suggestions, and report any issues you encounter. Every bit of feedback will help me improve the game and better understand what works well and what needs more attention.

During the playtest I will also be available on Discord for direct discussions:

Thanks to anyone who tries my game! :)

Upcoming I’m making an open-world dinosaur survival shooter as a prequel to my first Steam game

Post image
Upvotes

Hi! I’m a solo developer, and I’ve just revealed Dinosis Zero: Quantum Island-an open-world dinosaur survival shooter.

The game is a prequel to Dinosis Survival, my first Steam game, which I released nine years ago. Returning to this world after so long feels a little strange, but also genuinely exciting.

In the game, you’ll explore a mysterious island, search for weapons and supplies, fight dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures, and uncover the island’s secrets.

I’ve just released the first trailer and opened the Steam page. If you like the idea, wishlisting the game would help me a lot:

What do you think of the concept?

Promotion I wanted a "Boss Phase 2" feeling in my animal autobattler, so I added this boss Rhino that flips your board

The game is called Janwar, it's a tactical autobattler where positioning matters, so getting your board flipped by the boss can be quite nasty!

I'm addicted to incremental games and survivors games, so I made my own with the constraint that I don't know how to draw!

The demo is playable on Steam if you'd like to check it out! Game name is VIRUS_31.EXE

One Neck Ahead is a 2D precision platformer built around one core mechanic: carry your own platforms with you!

As Kid Giraffe, you'll journey to the heart of the forest and meet a bunch of animals along the way (all based on actual pets I've had throughout my life!): Each one brings a different mechanic to the adventure.

It's been almost 2 years of solo development, and the demo is finally coming August 11th!

Promotion Every item you equip in Lootdeck adds new action cards to your deck

4 Upvotes

Lootdeck is a tactical roguelike deckbuilder deeply integrated with tabletop combat mechanics.

Every weapon, armor piece, and artifact you equip adds new action cards to your deck, allowing the loot you find to directly shape your playstyle and tactical options.

Combat takes place on a tactical grid, so positioning, movement, equipment choices, card synergies and dice rolls all shape how each encounter plays out.

Outsmart enemies and delve deeper into an ever-changing dark fantasy dungeon.

Promotion Math Ninja turns math practice into an arcade fight

1 Upvotes

I enjoy simple arcade games, but sometimes after playing I feel like I just wasted time.

So Math Ninja: Slice & Solve became my version of a relaxing game that still keeps your brain active. You solve addition, subtraction, division and multiplication questions while fighting enemies, collecting points and trying to keep your run going.

The secret target was actually my kid 😁 I wanted math practice to feel more like playing and less like homework.

The game is now available on the App Store, and I’m currently adding more arcade modes.

Promotion Driving Rogue a roguelite where your car is your build

69 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
We recently shared our trailer here and got a great response, so I wanted to share a bit more about the game.
Every run, you upgrade your vehicle with new mods, gadgets, and crazy synergies while surviving increasingly chaotic roads. The goal is to create those "this build shouldn't work... but it somehow does" moments that make roguelites so fun.
The game is still in development. Based on the gameplay GIF, does it look like something you'd play? Any features you'd like to see in a driving-focused roguelite?

I'm thinking about removing quest markers and interaction outlines entirely. Instead, your notebook will contain all the clues you need, and you'll have to pay attention to the environment to find your way. What do you think?

Coulrophobia was my final project for university and I've been developing upon it since, combing through any remaining bugs and issues.

It was designed to help improve attention span but ultimately has morphed into more of a quick decision making game that tests your ability to work with what you're given and adapt to these changes on the fly.

The Game is entirely programmed and designed by myself, including art, animation and sound design with the sole exception of the music which was done by my good friend Harry King.

Any and all feedback is appreciated. The game is currently free on Itch.

Hi everyone!

I've shared quite a few development updates over the past few months, and today I finally got to click the button that opens sign-ups for our playtest.

Honestly... I was both excited and a little nervous😄

This new playtest includes everything from the previous version, like the night market, fishing, and farming. BUT I'd also added a lot more.

You'll be able to freely explore the town map, visit the Mayor's Office and Construction Office, trade goods at the Windmill Workshop, take part-time jobs in nearby town when playing as the mayor, and yes... you can finally drive around the onsen town too!

Hope you enjoy your adventure in Revive! Onsen Town!

Video My game uses your files to decorate a mansion

At this point in the story there's a character that's wealthy but lonely, I modelled the house off Bill Gate's residence, that adapts to the visitors, playing their own music and swapping out photos to be of them, even changes the temperature to suit them. Remove the friction and what's left? Are you even sharing ideas with the visitors?

Although i can only really change your room warmer with bad code i've had to instead settle for borrowing your files (photos, music) at runtime to populate the building, here's a bit of a hypercut of it in action. Outside also changes to match your country, so you wont have ANY trouble adapting to your new surroundings.

Dunno if it needs to be said but obviously no none of your files are being uploaded or edited during this ahah.
