Hi! I’m the solo-indie developer of AETHUS, a chill sci-fi, physics-driven survival/base-building game, which I’m making pretty much on my own after leaving AAA after ~7 years, at studios like Rockstar North.

I wanted to make a survival game that wasn’t about combat, but about chill take-at-your-own-pace exploration, and always having a compelling narrative to drive you forward.

☑ Key Features:

• Descend into the depths of an alien planet - Aethus - to mine for valuable resources in a tactile, physicalised world powered by Unreal Engine 5.
• Experience a compelling dystopian narrative as you attempt to escape the grasp of your former employer, a planet-controlling, ultra-capitalist megacorp - ARC.
• Explore and discover the world at your own pace, driven forward by a captivating story, without worrying about combat or base defense.
• Utilise both your mining laser and explosives to gather resources, then Prospect your finds to discover the rarest ores and gems to sell for …

There’s also an unofficial return to gw1 community event started by some streamer communities happening. Where we try to progress the prophecies campaign together as a community. Pacing ourselves and stopping at certain points waiting for those behind to catch up. Week 1 is Pre-Searing Ascalon, Post-Searing Ascalon, Northern Shiverpeaks. Week 2, starting on the 21st, will be Kryta, Maguuma Jungle.

Overall I’m having a blast returning to this game for the 20th year. While the game isn’t perfect and has some dated aspects, there’s so much it did that I feel was forgotten about by the industry. A lot of feature designs that really melded well. It makes me wish for a more updated version of the game sometime in the future or at least someone designs a game similar to it. I really implore anyone who has thought about trying it, now is the time. Right now will probably be the highest population its going to be at for awhile (plus it’s on sale which …

Teaser

Price: $6.99

This Is Interesting is a fun hobby project I worked on over several months. I had a pretty cool dream that combined the knowledge-based progression featured in The Outer Wilds (one of the best games ever made), with the disconnected and ethereal atmosphere of Silent Hill.

Premise

The game consists of a character being observed, who is ordered to complete six simple tasks. An unknown observer is judging them based on their actions. The goal of the game not necessarily to complete these actions, but find out where you are and how to break free of the seemingly endless loop you are in.

Metafiction

The game features hints of metafictional narrative akin to games by Daniel Mullins, and should hopefully bring up that feeling of “breaking out of the experiments” from the original Portal.

Gameplay

The gameplay consists of standard Horror / Puzzle games like Silent Hill, with more focus on interpersonal behavior rather than interacting with …

Hello everyone and happy IndieSunday!

I’m one of the devs at Toxic Studio, a small 4-person indie team, and we’ve been working hard on Grand Casino Simulator – a co-op, non-gambling casino management game where you build and run your own luxurious casino from the basement up to the VIP penthouse. We love tycoon/management games and wanted to capture the glamour and chaos of a casino without the real-world gambling aspect.

Grand Casino Simulator lets you create a high-class casino with your friends (or solo) and manage everything behind the scenes. Imagine designing your dream casino floor by floor: install arcade machines, poker tables and roulette wheels for entertainment (purely for fun – no real betting involved!), set up bars and buffets, and keep guests happy (and spending money on amenities).

It’s not all fancy chandeliers and profit though – you’ll also be dealing with all sorts of unexpected, hilarious situations. From handling rowdy patrons who’ve had a few too many free …

Hey r/Games! Thanks so much for your support - we’ve taken part in several Indie Sunday events during development, and now we’re on the final stretch. The release is set for August 7th, 2025! You can check out our new trailer, which was featured by IGN yesterday 😱

What’s Static Dread about?

It’s a psychological horror game where you play as a lighthouse keeper. A massive cataclysm fried all modern tech, so now an old lighthouse has been reactivated. You’re the new keeper - dealing with strange noises, spooky shadows, and ships vanishing into the fog like it’s totally normal. Just another Tuesday, right?

We were heavily inspired by The Lighthouse, Papers, Please, and No, I’m Not a Human, aiming to create an eerie Lovecraftian atmosphere set in modern times. In the game, you …

I like to play SC2 Monobattles and a few other Arcade games. Arcade games are custom maps/modes made by the community. We loaded up with a few regulars and some randos who I didn’t know. About 3 min a video appeared on my screen. I have never seen this before but it took up the whole screen. It was a Russian pop video or something that played for 20 seconds or so. Most of us were talking in chat about what the heck was happening.

Very odd. Then about a minute later a video pops up with a guy entering a store with a SC1 HUD over the video and ghost emotes playing. I was talking with the others in the game trying to figure out what was going on. I then realize he is murdering people and shooting people in the head. At this moment I freak out and hard close out of SC2. My 5 year old daughter was in the room with me, half paying attention to me playing a video game.

This is beyond unacceptable. I should never have to worry about seeing people murdered or porn while playing a SC2 …

Q

I picked the game up a few days ago and my god am I having fun. The atmosphere and sheer sense of dread this game induces is absolutely fantastic.

It may not be fair for me to say that the reviews were undeservedly harsh because I started playing after the last update and perhaps before then it deserved the critique, I don’t know, but I can tell you now l’m having a ton of fun.

It’s right up my street. A survival horror zombie game in an open world map with 8 player coop, but, I put it off specifically because of what people online were saying in the reviews.

l’m so, so glad I decided to pick this up. It’s not perfect by any stretch but I cannot wait to see where they go with this, I really hope they pull this out of the bag and they get the player count up consistently.

I am from Slovakia and while not every game is translated to Czech, many Sony titles and some other games are. I finished my TLOU1 re-play with the English texts instead of Czech and it was…. more immersive?

I wonder if people in other languages go full english or keep their native language text instead. Cuz I might start doing full English playthroughs tbh

Last week, I queued up for a casual Turbo match and quickly picked Pudge before anyone else could. One of my teammates “Team Mate” clearly wanted to play him too, and we had a little back-and-forth banter at the start. He joked, “Hope you’re good, or this game’s going to be rough.”

I laughed it off and said I’d do my best. Then came the unexpected twist:
“If you play well,” they said, “I’ll gift you an Arcana.”

Now, we’ve all heard wild promises in Dota matches before, and I didn’t take it seriously. But I went all in. Played my heart out. Ended the game as MVP. GG.

And today…
He actually kept his word.
He gifted me the Pudge Arcana.
No strings attached. Just a promise honored.

After 15 years of playing Dota, I’ve had countless games, wins, losses, rage moments, and epic comebacks — but nothing like this. This simple gesture made my entire week and reminded me why this community is still one of the most special in all of online gaming.

So thank you, “Team Mate,” …

Hello everyone, just wanted to let you guys know that we have a former Dota Pro won a WC3 tournament!

Congratulations to SingSing for winning the Warcraft 3 Streamer Invitational organized by Grubby. With this, we have 2 ex-Pro who won a WC3 tournament organized by Grubby: Dendi from the OnlyFangs Invitational.

Such a CINEMA game to watch with how on Day1, SingSing lost the upper bracket match against TheViper (GOAT of AoE2) but won all his lower bracket matches til the grand final on Day2 with a score of 13-1. I recommend you guys watch it as well.

Announcement video so you know who were the other streamers invited and the video of T90’s replacement. Here is the streamer ladder race link if you want to know their respective MMRs.

basically what happened to SingSing.

No joke.
This dude https://www.dotabuff.com/players/86853590/matches already passed 40,000 games. Plays fast, queues instantly, never stops.
Dotabuff only shows ~39,000 because it doesn’t count Turbo games -
but if you check his actual Dota profile, it’s already around 40,500.

Valve, GabeN - we’re asking you:
When he hits 50,000, give him something. A real Aegis. A medal. A shrine. Something.

He’s grinding harder than half the pro scene.

Community’s watching. Make it count.

Why aren’t supports rushing dominator against roots like dusa underlord? Situationally, even better than eul and cheaper than lotus. I just saw spirit vs tidebound, doom is spamming this. It even goes every 2.3 sec dispel with octrane core💀. Imagine, ursa getting slowed and his W dispelled every time. Sure, the creep ez to kill and dota players aren’t known for micro but even getting 2 purge in a battle is worth imo.

Have you guys noticed that a lot of heroes in Deadlock lie?

Abrams likes to mislead his opponents by saying “I’m unstoppable” when he presses 1, even though he didn’t buy Unstoppable.

Holliday says she “got em” even when she misses her lasso.

Warden says “face me and die” and then he dies.

Who is the biggest liar?

Is it intentional or an oversight that Mo & Krill’s burrow dosnt get silenced by slowing hex?

Its not listed as an ability that gets silenced on the wiki nor does it wor kin game, but i find it ridicilous that burrow isnt concidered a mobility ability even though it gived more moovespeed?

And if burrow isnt concidered as a movment ability then why is Calicos ult silenced?

Is this a oversight by the devs or did they purposfully exclude burrow? And if its purpousefull, it makes zero sense given other similar abilities that dont even give moove speed is silenced.

I was only able to find one post about this on the forums, but that post received a single unintelligble response from someone complaining aboutthe same thing. Does anyone know if a dev has ever stated this is on purpose for balance or whatever?

TLDR: Slowing hex dosnt silence burrow but it absoloutley should.

Stop letting lanes push into your towers while you’re too busy clearing out jungles. Push the lanes till they are pushed ahead of the mid boss then clear jungles on your way back. You’ll help your team and yourself.

The horror

Timing the last hit on the machine on the way out took three tries because I was laughing too hard to focus (I promise I got the buffs, the clock didn’t line up in the replay)

I think the main issue previously was that it enabled early game ganks too easily and it was just unlocked via game time. I think the teleporters did add some depth to the game and made traversing the map a little more accessible. Right now the game feels a bit stale in the mid to end game and teleporters made it more interesting and engaging to play IMO.
