Earlier this year, I first announced JOY OF PROGRAMMING here on r/games’ Indie Sunday and it was met with an overwhelmingly positive reception. Your interest and support for such a niche game really mean a lot! In case you missed it, the game is all about using Python to solve challenging tasks in realistic, physically simulated 3D environments. It covers a wide range of topics, and hopefully presents interesting challenges and fun for all skill levels. The game’s release is still some months away, but there will be updates about the release date and a free prologue soon™ .
If you are interested in the game, please consider a wishlist on Steam:

Today I also have some rather unusual news for a gaming subreddit. I’m open-sourcing the Python interface of the game and just released it publicly on GitHub. This will be mostly interesting to those of you with prior programming knowledge. I’d …

Southeast Asia is home to a number of gruesome demons such as Toyols (dead children brought back to life via necromancy), Penanggals (a flying head with dangling lungs, intestines and other internal organs) and the Orang Minyak (A naked man who evades capture by coating his body in slippery black oil and goes around harassing women). So if hacking-and-slashing any of these guys sounds like a great time to you, do check out our game, Ghostlore.
The game’s procedurally-generated environments place you in a lush, vibrant and tropical fantasy setting based on Singapore (where I live). Singaporean culture and Southeast Asian culture as a whole is distinct from East Asian cultures like Japan, China or Korea. Here in Singapore, it’s basically a melting pot of immigrant Chinese, Malay-muslim, Indian and Western influences, thanks to our time as a trading port and British colony. So as far as fantasy settings go, I’d say …

Hi r/games! I’m George Fan, creator of Plants vs. Zombies, and I spent too many years of my life not knowing this crazy fact: Wombats are animals from Australia that have cube-shaped poops.
Once I heard this absolutely bananas fact, I knew I had to make a game about it! I’ve been spending the last year or so making this puzzle-platformer game with my friend Andy Hull (programmer on Spelunky).

Key features:
Chillquarium is a wholesome idle aquarium game. Buy booster packs full of new fish, and watch them grow up in real time so they can earn money through ticket sales! Every fish has multiple rare coloration variants, so it is a collectathon as well as an incremental game. Everything is designed to be cute, positive, and relaxing.

I loved playing aquarium games as a kid. FishVille was the one I played the most. The game was awesome, but unfortunately, it was also designed to try and get kids to “get mom’s wallet” to spend money on microtransactions. Worse, it was designed to keep players addicted by punishing them for not playing regularly enough. If you didn’t feed your fish on the right schedule, they died. If you didn’t clean their tank every day, they died. Playing the game was like signing up for a chore list, and if you …

Explore a massive, beautiful fantasy world! Steal enemy abilities and fight them back with their own runic magic and deadly swordplay in this handcrafted Metroidvania – a love letter to Castlevania, Metroid, Zelda and PS1 action-RPGs.
We got funded within 6 hours, and we will be releasing on STEAM, EGS, Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, Xbox and Playstation.
I’ve been making this game for 5 years with my wife, with no funding, publishers or industry connections. It’s a huge passion project, (by my calculations, double the size of Hollow Knight) and I hope you’ll check us out! Our kickstarter will end on May 25, so check it out before then if you’d like to support the project!

It’s been almost a month since Jedi Survivor came out (April 28th), and after several patches the game is still crashing an absurd amount of time during play sessions.
Most comment I’ve seen say that ray tracing should be disabled to help with stability. I have a RTX 4090, and it’s disappointing to do so honestly…
Any other redditors having crashing issues on PC ? Or any other issues preventing the game from running well ?
May the force (probably eventually) be with you 🤘.
I’ve put roughly 20 hours in so far.
AAS, the first game mode is a bit too simple for me, just taking you from A to B. ARK is much more interesting, with base building and defense, two resource types and side missions. Balancing these as the threat level continously increases adds a nice dynamic of wanting to complete the main objective, by gathering gas, vs. gathering ore to expand and strengthen your base before getting to the final horde assault.
With players working on several objectives on a large map, there is a sense of scale few other co-op games have. The Squad-roots of the developers are definitely showing in that way.
Shooting feels very fun and the classes are decently varied, if a bit unbalanced in my opinion. The support medic drone increases surviveability so much that I feel the other classes are rarely a good choice.
It is definitely a unique co-op game in scale, map size and playercount, and the chaos is refreshing. Great use of the IP. But it badly needs …

Hey! Couple years ago we decided to create our first game and today we want to announce it!
Folk Hero — a rogue-lite slasher based on slavic mythology.
We were inspired by such games as Hades, Curse of the Dead Gods, Binding of Isaac, Dead Cells and Risk of Rain. We hope you will enjoy our demo as soon as we drop it on Steam! It will be really soon ;)

3 Years ago I wanted my first PC. Having no knowledge at the time I decided to buy a pre-built and a friend pointed me towards Origin. I ended up getting a 2060 Super, some AMD 3 series CPU, a 550W PSU, 1TB hard drive, 500GB SSD, some ASRock motherboard, and 16GB of RAM. Overall I spent about $2,000 after the payment plan I had set up. It probably would’ve been around $1250-$1,350 if I had just built it myself.
It served me great for about 34 of the 36 months I had it. Then I was getting random shutdowns mid game. Still not knowing a TON about troubleshooting my hardware, I contact the guaranteed 24⁄7 tech support to be treated with “sorry we’re closed” the first 3 times. I ended up just opening a support ticket and got in contact with them. The first person I talked to said he thought it was 90% a GPU malfunction and to go ahead and purchase a new GPU (since I had no other rigs to test it on). I purchased a 3060 (why not upgrade right?) and I was still getting these same …
