As We Descend - Box Dragon - Apocalyptic strategy roguelike blending Slay the Spire with Darkest Dungeon!

40 comments • reddit.com
Hey, this is Kev, game director of Box Dragon. Since launch last May, We’re 9 major updates into our Early Access, and we’ve got another major update coming this week with Update 10 which features some big strategy loop changes. We also recently got Steam Deck verified!

We currently have our deepest discount yet (-33% off, $13.39), so now’s a great time to pick it up if you haven’t already: As We Descend on Steam

Why join during Early Access? Not only do we regularly update with monthly patches, the game is already content rich with tons of replayability. We’re sitting at 1259 reviews with 87% Very Positive review score.

Right now, we’re focused on adding some bigger features into the game:
- The third player Origin, the “Sacrosanct”
- Better controller support so everything can be played with just the controller
What’s the game like?

As We Descend is a genre-blending strategy roguelike deckbuilder, and our players have compared …

Jenny the Witch - Catbird Soft - Sci-fi hack & slash where you fight a horde of robots in the sewers below New York City. Launching this Wednesday!

6 comments • reddit.com
Hi! I’m Ben from Catbird Soft, and this is Jenny the Witch. Like I said in the title, we’re launching this Wednesday, July 22.

The game

Jenny the Witch is a hybrid third-person shooter / hack & slash with spectacle fighter elements. That’s a lot of genre words to say:
- You shoot things! You’ve got a palm blaster and a set of homing missiles.
- You smack things! Jenny’s rocket-powered broom is designed for smashing robots to bits.
- You have super moves! and airdashes! and lots of other cool tricks!
Put all together, it plays a bit like a hybrid of Gungrave and DMC. You’ll move fast and try to keep enemies under control with a mix of ranged damage and devastating melee combos.

The mission

Four maintenance workers have gone missing in the Brooklyn Understructure, a sprawling network of sewers, waste management facilities, and power infrastructure deep below New York City. Mech-suited mercenary Genevieve Marconi (aka Jenny the Witch) has been …
Hungry Horrors - Clumsy Bear Studio - Serve a Banshee the right dish and you live. Get the flavour wrong and you're dinner. A roguelite deckbuilder rooted in real British and Irish folklore and real historical food.

20 comments • reddit.com
Steam (Early Access)
Trailer

You’re a spoilt princess whose kingdom has been overrun by the creatures of British and Irish folklore, all of them ravenous. No army, no prince, just a talking cat with a recipe book. You don’t fight the Horrors, you cook for them. Draw your cards, work out what each one is craving, and serve the right dish before it reaches you. Get the flavour wrong and you’re the meal.

Every Horror is a real creature from British and Irish legends and myths, from the Banshee to Black Annis to Jenny Greenteeth, and every dish is a genuine dish from British and Irish cooking.
- Satisfy each monster’s craving instead of killing it
- Build a deck around five flavours, craving chains and cookware synergies
- Meet legendary characters pulled straight from folklore
- Hand-pixelled pixel art with an original soundtrack
We just pushed our biggest update yet:
- The Scottish Loch: four new Horrors including the Cailleach Bheur and Nessie, new dishes like …

Hey indie gamers, happy Sunday! :)

Got a few exciting events coming up, plus I’ve been working with an awesome artist friend on a brand-new pvp arena, based in a magical crystal jungle! This one’s gonna be a real looker and should be out soon, hopefully just in time to be playable in those events.

In the meantime, please enjoy these Highlights From The Yogscast Stream! 👀
They played the game back in 2024 and already seemed to enjoy it quite a bit. It’s come a long way since then, and this is a fun way to really see that progress!

Also shoutout to Stick Scholars, which just launched on Steam a week ago and is the closest I’ve ever seen to The Quizard’s Domain out in the wild! Northernlion and friends even played it recently, so who knows. Maybe we’re about to kick off a whole new trend!

Ministry of Order - VoltekPlay - Papers, Please, but the documents are newborns and one wrong match can erase a family

0 comments • reddit.com
- Steam (wishlist): https://store.steampowered.com/app/3572310/Ministry_of_Order/
- Trailer: https://youtu.be/4H0zqXj5RJk
Hi Indie Sunday. We’re VoltekPlay, a two-person studio (my wife and I). Ministry of Order is our narrative puzzle game, and the short version is: Papers, Please, but the documents are newborns.

What you actually do: babies arrive at a state maternity ministry, and you match each one to the right parents by reading inherited traits - blood type, eye colour and so on - against the paperwork. Get it right and you’re paid; get it wrong and you’re fined, and a wrong match can quietly erase a family. The regime keeps changing the rules about who “deserves” a child, so the puzzle and your conscience slowly drift apart the longer you keep the job.

It’s story-rich and noir: letters, radio broadcasts, a nosy neighbour, late-night knocks at the door. Your choices shape the regime around you.

Where it’s at: we’re deep in a …
Salt and Soil - DelosX - a minimalist colony sim about American Frontier 1600-1900

7 comments • reddit.com

Hi, I’m the solo developer of Salt and Soil.

Gameplay trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oan28f_4P-o
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4551060/Salt_and_Soil_A_Frontier_Family_Sim/

Most historical strategy games place you above the map. You control a country, start wars and redraw borders.

Salt and Soil approaches history from the opposite direction. You guide one ordinary family living through nearly three centuries of North American colonization, from 1609 to 1900.

Major historical events happen without your permission. Wars begin, borders move, settlements and trade routes appear, and relationships between different communities change. You cannot rewrite those events. You have to deal with whatever eventually reaches your home.

Each turn represents one year. You manage food, materials, money, livestock and scarce family labor; build and improve the homestead; trade with nearby communities; and decide which risks the household can afford.

Family members marry, have …
The Duke is Dead - Bunk Bed Software - Upcoming Detective Game With New Demo!

3 comments • reddit.com

Hi I’m one of the co-developers of The Duke is Dead, an upcoming indie detective game coming to Steam in November.

Inspired by games like Return of the Obra Dinn and Case of the Golden Idol, you play as a detective unraveling the conspiracy behind the duke’s murder. You’ll collect clues, connect the dots, and puzzle your way to the solution. Put your deduction skills to the test in a series of 10 interconnected crimes.

The Duke is Dead now has a demo on steam (PC and Linux builds available) - https://store.steampowered.com/app/4592030/The_Duke_is_Dead_Demo?utm_source=reddit

Doom 3 - still one of the most atmospheric shooters ever.

78 comments • i.redd.it

I love the attention to detail of this game. The way you slowly get the story fed to you through the environment, emails etc. The whole game just feels so oppressive. The claustrophobia, the lighting, the jump scares, the music. Its incredibly intense. The fact it was made at a time where memory was limited means they squeezed the absolute maximum out of both the graphics and the maps.

has anyone else found themselves where i am now?

so a couple years ago when i was a kid i used to spend 10-12h a day on competitive games/ multiplayer games, counting back i have well over 4k hours on ark survival evolved (which was worth it imo considering the memories i created), 500ish on rust, thousands of hours in fortnite, a thousand or so in apex legends, then another 1k in COD and siege, and then a final 2k ish in CS2. which counting it all up at a rough estimate is 10k+ (counting other games too)

ive spent years getting good at something that doesnt matter, years of just trying to feel the dopamine of killing another play/raiding someone elses base or coming out on top of a conflict in a videogame.

and now since july of last year ive literally not played a competitive/multiplayer game alone, since then ive only ever played once or twice a week with friends. its so much better, its probably the best decision ive ever made in my life, the feeling of being able to just play a …

The Sims is money hungry

29 comments • reddit.com

I recently got a Windows PC, and have previously been playing Sims 4 on my old Xbox One. It is very slow, and I was excited to finally have a pleasant experience playing. Unfortunately, I found out the hundreds of dollars I’ve spent on packs means absolutely nothing, and I cannot use my packs on pc since the original purchase was for Xbox, and vice versa.

Is anyone else incredibly upset with this? It’s just such an unnecessary spit in the face to simmers, especially when most other games have a cross-platform feature. Is there anything I can do? I really don’t want to pirate, but with this kind of behavior it’s ridiculously expensive not to. Am I overreacting?
For those of you who were hyped for No Man’s Sky, to audibly disgusted after its release. What do you think of the game now?

49 comments • reddit.com

As someone who recently started the game and loving it. I’m just curious of how it’s perceived now and if there are some who won’t play it because of the disappointment?

Also was wondering if what was promised was actually kept or if some things that the developers made still haven’t made it to the game?

Crimson desert still not allow players to reconfigure the movement keys 4 months after release

61 comments • reddit.com

Pearl Abyss Black desert online game as WASD rebind since more than 10years.

Yes there is “work around” but when even a 9$ game has WASD rebind, it should be a basic option in a AAA like Crimson Desert.

Thrid party software can create input lag, changing keys via keyboard software requier to constantaly swich profil which is a real hassle.
And you lose proper in game key prompt.

Pathogenic - Cellular Roguelike Shooter - Out Now

26 comments • reddit.com

Hi everyone!

We’ve just launched our game Pathogenic on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3808690/Pathogenic/

The demo for the game was played by over 150,000 players and had an Overwhelmingly Positive rating and we’re pleased to announced the full game has now been released.

Here’s the launch trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg2fsVUYBeg

What is Pathogenic?

In Pathogenic you are a disease. Infect the human body as a lone pathogen in this cellular roguelike shooter. Collect organelles to evolve your parasite in a microscopic arms race against your host’s immune system. Conquer a beautiful, procedurally generated world of tiny proportions.

Will I Like Pathogenic?

Think the cell stage of Spore mixed with the crazy synergies of something like Noita. Binding of Isaac and Enter The Gungeon are also quite similar in style so if yo like those, or games like it, you should like Pathogenic.

With this years total, that means that Games Done Quick has now raised over 62 MILLION Dollars for charities across the globe in just AGDQ and SGDQ marathon events, since it started over 16 years ago, with over 28 of those millions, for Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)!<3

SECTOR ZERO - Ondrej Angelovic - Half-Life & Portal inspired physics-based action-adventure

2 comments • reddit.com
Steam Store Page | Gameplay Trailer | Story Trailer

Hi everyone!
I’ve shared my game here multiple times during the development process, so I wanted to share it here one more time now that it is finally out on Steam.

About SECTOR ZERO:
SECTOR ZERO is a first-person, physics-based dark sci-fi adventure. The game takes place inside a massive asteroid being mined for its resources by human colonists. You play as a tiny fragment of an alien hive-mind entity buried deep within asteroid’s core. Human mining operations woke you up from you nap and now you’re angry.

The core mechanic of the game is your ability to corrupt and control human-made machinery. This power helps you navigate the world, solve physics-based puzzles, and overcome platforming challenges.
- Steam Deck Verified
- Full controller support
- Community-localized into 30 languages
- 100% money-back guarantee, since the main story can be finished in under two hours \^\^

I.T.C.B. - Interstellar Trade Compliance Bureau - Baseless Assumption Studio - Resource Management Simulation

4 comments • reddit.com

The Zorbonians are a perpetually struggling backwater of a vast galactic empire, and after several thousand years of patience they finally won the Imperial Lottery. The reward: the right to abduct one exquisite individual from anywhere in the known galaxy to fix their economy. The selection committee reviewed your file with great care. They were particularly impressed by your demonstrated capacity to coordinate the movement of standardized containers across continental distances.

So now you run Trade Terminal 7-G. The populace requires goods. You will provide them.

I.T.C.B. - Interstellar Trade Compliance Bureau is a tongue-in-cheek galactic management sim. It plays out on a single screen: build production, manage supply against demand, sell surplus on a galactic market that lurches around on events happening across the empire, and keep an entire alien populace fed, clothed and content; all while resources arrive as untranslated alien glyphs you have to decipher before you can do …
Vampire Mistress - Velvet Labyrinth - 18+ gothic vampire dating sim with visual novel romance and 3D castle exploration

15 comments • reddit.com
Trailer | Steam

Hi r/Games! I’m working on Vampire Mistress, an 18+ gothic vampire dating sim, that mixes character-driven visual novel romance with point-and-click 3D exploration.

The story begins when Morgana, the Vampire Queen, falls into a deep sleep. Her daughter Celestine sees the empty throne as her chance to finally enjoy power for herself, and her rule quickly starts causing trouble for everyone beneath her.

To bring Morgana back before the castle falls apart, you are tasked to recharge magical items tied to the women living under Celestine’s rule, all while exploring the castle, the village and the forest nearby - while spicy moments occur. Each girl you met has her own place in the castle’s growing mess, her own secrets, and her own reason to help, resist, or complicate your attempt to wake the Queen.

The main cast has six romance routes:
- Morgana, the passionate Vampire Queen
- Celestine, the bratty Vampire Princess
- Marien, the earnest Guard Captain
- Lyrielle, the kind …

Sent my GPU (RTX 4090) for repair within warranty, the retailer claimed Gigabyte destroyed it and wanted to refund me the original price which was not enough to buy a new 4090. Almost had to sue them.

137 comments • reddit.com

TLDR: GPU had eisen in price, sent for RMA within warranty with easily repairable problem but was destroyed by manufacturer instead, according to the retailer. I was preparing to sue the retailer to get broken GPU back to have it fixed by third party repair shop. Manufacturer eventually gave me a replacement GPU after media attention. Make sure you specify you want your repairable product back if you send something for RMA that has risen in price!

I bought an Gigabyte RTX 4090 from a major Dutch retailer that came with 3 year warranty. 2 years later the power connector melted. (the new 12vhpwr connector).

I used a Cablemod angled power connector, one that was officially recalled, which I missed. So I was prepared for a denied warranty claim. I contacted Cablemod first and they said they would refund a repair at a third party repair shop if retailer and gigabyte denied my RMA request. That was nice of them.

I did not consider that sending a GPU for RMA might mean Gigabyte would …

A handy way of getting about, once you’ve explored further on the island 😄

This is my upcoming game on Steam. It’s an exploration puzzle game about helping an inventor start an untested ( and very unusual ) reactor. Be aware, there is no Lore or books to read, but the Inventor does talk to you via intercoms scattered around the island. He tells why things are the way they are, and offers encouragement and background as the game goes on.

Scary Cave Diving Releases July 14th — Trapped in a Dark Underwater Cave With Something Hunting You

3 comments • youtu.be
Hey r/pcgaming,

Scary Cave Diving is a first-person survival horror game where you’re trapped in a procedurally generated underwater cave system, running out of oxygen, with a shark stalking you through the dark. It releases July 14th on Steam!

What it’s about:

You wake up deep in a flooded cave system with one goal: find the exit before your air runs out. Every dive generates a new layout, so there’s no memorizing your way through — you’re navigating blind every time.

Features:
- 🔦 Glow Stick Navigation — Mark your path and light the way through the dark, but be careful what the light reveals
- 🦈 A Predator That Hunts You — A shark that can hear and smell you patrols the caves; avoid it or fight back
- 💀 Permadeath — Get caught or run out of oxygen, and you’re starting the dive from scratch in a fresh layout
- 🔫 Limited Defense — Scavenge for a rare flare gun, your only real line of defense against the shark
- 🥊 Shark Cage Mode — A separate arcade mode where …

Gamers in China successfully sued for the right to inherit their deceased relatives’ game accounts

104 comments • reddit.com

With all the recent talk of digital ownership rights eroding, I thought it might be useful to share some good news on the digital rights front from China that western gaming audiences are almost certainly unaware of.

With the help of my wife, who is a Chinese lawyer and a certified Chinese-Engilsh translator, I’ve collected multiple rulings from Chinese courts where gamers sued gaming companies for their right to bequeath and inherit gaming accounts and won. While digital rights in China are still in a legal gray area, in practice Chinese courts have already sided with gamers multiple times when it comes to digital asset inheritance.

TLDR: Chinese courts view game accounts and microtransaction purchases as something of monetary value, and therefore gamers have rights related to those assets. Chinese courts reject the idea that standard non-transferability clauses can stop you from inheriting or bequeathing a game or even individual microtransactions (of the same nature as csgo …

"My Heart's With All of You" — Co-Founder John Romero Says id Software Has "Done a Great Job" Moving the Studio's Legacy Forward and Hopes Someone Is Working to Preserve It All Amid Xbox Layoffs

>“I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs,” Romero tweeted.

>“I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history.

>“The people at id have done a great job moving that legacy forward. DOOM, Quake, and Wolfenstein are not easy names to carry on, especially in today’s industry. The last few games showed real care, skill and respect for what those worlds mean to people.

>“A note on digital preservation: id’s history is critically important to the history of games. I’ve preserved id’s complete early history from our start at Softdisk through to August 6, 1996, including materials and assets that, as far as I know, id itself no longer has. I hope someone is doing the same for the company’s ongoing legacy (the work, code, assets, stories and the people behind them).

Pillars of Eternity - VaultVox Text-to-Speech Accessibility Mod Updated to version 1.3

28 comments • i.redd.it
Hi Folks.

I’ve been working on a Text-to-Speech Accessibility mod/framework for Pillars of Eternity and just released version 1.3.

Video Demo of Mod: https://youtu.be/Jn_OwYzoSZ4

Nexus link: https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity/mods/425

It reads most of the game’s unvoiced text aloud in real time (dialogue, journal, tooltips, UI, etc.), basically making it feel much closer to a fully voiced RPG.

Why I made it

The main reason is accessibility.

My wife has dyslexia, so this started as a way to make text-heavy RPGs easier to follow without having to fight through every line manually.

The mod/framework uses a Windows SAPI speech bridge to give a plug-and-play solution.

New Features in v1.3 include:
- Added varied NPC voices: each NPC gets its own voice from a pool, in barks and dialogue. The same NPC stays consistent across save/reload, and NPCs near each other won’t share a voice. Uses your better neural voices and skips the old robotic and child ones.
- Added …

Omelet You Cook - SchuBox Games - Chaotic cooking roguelike "Balatro meets Cooking Mama"

20 comments • reddit.com

Hello chefs,

My name’s Dan Schumacher and I’m one of 2 developers making Omelet You Cook, a roguelike cooking game where you assemble omelets for a demanding giant chicken principal.

The game is all about creating synergies with ridiculous ingredients and arranging them so number go up. A lot of our reviews mention that it gives them that addictive Balatro feeling. We were also inspired by Luck be a Landlord, Ballionaire and cooking games like Papa’s Pizzeria.

We launched earlier this year and we’ve had a few major updates with more to come later this year. Plus we’re 30% off throughout the summer sale!

I’m happy to answer any questions on anything related to the game or our journey. We’ve had a lot of fun making it :)

Happy cooking, chefs!
What's the Password? - TrampolineTales - A minimalistic puzzle game where you decode 4-digit passwords (Out now!)

4 comments • reddit.com

Hi /r/Games!

Who are you?

I’m Dan, you might know my previous titles: Luck be a Landlord and Maze Mice. I released a game called What’s the Password? about a month ago.

What is it?

What’s the Password? is a puzzle game where you have to determine 4-digit passwords from simple visual prompts.

You’ve probably played a game where you had to figure out the 4-digit code to open a locked door. What’s the Password? is an entire game of just those puzzles!

There are 109 puzzles in the game and they can be completed in about 2 hours.

Where’s the trailer?

Here’s the release trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lMwu1ZSmqA

Where’s the Steam page?

The Steam page is right here.

You can also get the game on iOS here and on Android here.

Thanks for reading. If you’ve got any questions about What’s the Password?, feel free to AMA!

In Seer’s Gambit you recruit heroes like Claudia who sends her pet cloud to harass enemies or Burnard who randomly combusts and gets reborn to kill again.

There’s a huge map full of upgrades and additional heroes to unlock and an Endless mode where you can test just how far you can go with a party centered around your favourite hero.

The game is 35% off right now and all through the Steam Summer Sale.

We’ve built the game around really weird combos and with the design philosophy that you should be able to explore and exploit synergies and it is so much fun when people find a new crazy build. If you pick up the game. We’d love to hear what your favourite party setup is.

Marble's Marbles - Destined - A love letter to the classic marble games like Marble Madness, Ballance and HamsterBall

Hi, I am James the solo dev from Australia of this game. Recently I did crossover with 5 different indie games where I made levels inspired by other indie games in the Marble’s Marbles style.

You can see the trailer here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j7JxsSx9Rw

The game itself is a nostalgic love letter to the classic marble games of the past, reimagined with modern visuals and satisfying physics. If you have ever wondered why there are no good modern versions this one might for you.

Is Sony pulling away from PC actually short-sighted? Or is it the right move?

83 comments • reddit.com

I’m an exclusive PC gamer. Will never own another console in my life, Nintendo Switch 1 was my last and I purchased that at launch. PC has too many advantages over console for me to justify the cost for a few games nowadays.

But are Sony making the right move in ditching PC? Isn’t there an argument to be had that when ‘why own a PlayStation when the games are on PC?’ becomes a common sentiment, it is indeed hurting the brand?
Streaming will be the future. Agree or disagree?

95 comments • reddit.com

With Sony’s move to end production of physical media starting 2028 and the state of the industry, I think we’re inevitably moving towards a future where the next step is renting computational power via subscription, in my opinion.

Taking away the storage medium is just the first step and sooner or later the hardware itself will follow.

Prices are still rising, or at least not going down and will leave behind anyone that can’t afford hardware.

What’s your opinion and how would you feel about this possible future?

If you disagree, which direction do you see the industry taking?

Do you think that this is accurate? Would such a rise in prices truly benefits developers and average workers in the industry?

Its looking like itll probably be 1 year+ before we see GTA VI on PC, probably more with them wanting to milk online, so what are peoples ideas who want to play it before then without shilling for a next gen console that’ll only get used for that one game until it releases on PC and we buy it again anyways.

I have heard emulators are a possibility, how soon do people think those will be up and running in a playable state? if at all? im not that clued in on the topic.

This post is for ppl genuinely interested in playing GTA VI soonish after initial release, I’ve seen a lot of “Oh i just wont, id rather play my farting sim roguelite cos im a PC player and hate AAA😏” which is great for them but not helpful.

So, any hope for us or are we doomed to wait an eternity longer for the most hyped game of this century. I can see myself becoming one of the above mentioned copers if so lol.

11 comments • reddit.com
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMZi4yg632E

Hey everyone!

After more than 3 years of development, Maseylia: Echoes of the Past is finally available on Steam!

(The game actually released about two weeks ago, but I had to wait before posting here because my launch announcement was less than a month ago, and the subreddit rules require waiting one month between promotional posts.)

Maseylia is a true 3D Metroidvania inspired by Metroid Prime, Pseudoregalia, Hollow Knight, and the worlds of Moebius, focused on fluid movement, exploration, sequence breaking, and interconnected world design.

The game features:
- Non-linear 3D exploration
- Advanced movement abilities (360° Air Dash, Grapple, Double Jump, and more)
- Movement-based progression
- 6 unique biomes to explore
- Atmospheric sci-fi environments
- Steam Deck & Linux compatibility
- 10–15 hours for the main adventure, with plenty more for completionists
The game is available now for $17.00, with the 20% launch discount ending tomorrow …

Game Title: Rhythm Heaven Groove

Platforms:

Trailer:

Review Aggregator:

OpenCritic - 84 average - 88% recommended - 16 reviews

Critic Reviews

CGMagazine - Jordan Biordi - 10 / 10

Rhythm Heaven Groove is not only incredibly fun, backed by an amazing soundtrack, but it’s so unbelievably accessible practically everyone can play it.

COGconnected - Jaz Sagoo - 80 / 100

Quote not yet available

Cerealkillerz - German - 7.5 / 10

Rhythm Paradise Groove is not an easy game to evaluate, as it is a collection of rhythm-based minigames with extremely simplistic gameplay. Nevertheless, we could not completely resist the series’ unique charm and found ourselves coming back for “just one more round” time and again.

Depending on the type of player, however, your enjoyment may vary considerably. Perfectionists who want to master every minigame and leave their mark on each one will get much more out of Rhythm Paradise …

Interesting to see 1080p is still the preferred gaming resolution, at least on Steam

61 comments • i.redd.it

I’ve had people try to mock me before about still using 1080p 60fps, saying that 4k is the new standard. I regularly stream and record gameplay, and I’d much rather have a stable 60fps whilst playing indie games and early access titles than worry about frame drops and poor performance.

When I looked at the stats a couple of years ago, I noticed that most players on Steam (who have chosen to share their data) are still running 1080p as their primary display, and it’s barely changed in the last 2 years.

I’d be interested to know what the community prefers, and why?

IO Interactive starting layoffs after Project Fantasy is affected by ending relationship with an external partner

100 comments • reddit.com

https://x.com/IOInteractive/status/2072005107797893315

Dear gaming community,

For a good while, it has been all positive news from IO Interactive. We remain humbled and honored by the response to our latest outing with a young, unproven Bond. A bold new story and a take on one of the most famous characters in entertainment, which the world has embraced with love.

However, today we have to share some more downbeat news. A relationship with an external partner on our own IP, Project Fantasy, has come to an end. This means we have to adapt to this new reality and its short-term consequences, including staffing decisions, which is what is happening as we write this update, and we are fully committed to supporting those affected through this challenging transition.

Project Fantasy is a game, a world, and an IP that we absolutely love and remain 100% committed to, now and in the future. This wonderful universe will see the light of day.

Replaying the same games as we get older

127 comments • reddit.com

Is anyone else more excited about replaying their old favourites than new releases as they get older? Going into my late 30s with limited gaming time, I find myself more drawn to replaying classics like Neverwinter Nights, Mass Effect, and Guild Wars 1 than I am the big-name new releases like Expedition 33. I’m sure it’s a fantastic game, but I just don’t have the motivation to emotionally invest in a whole new world when I’m already burnt out by real-life responsibilities.

Free Alpha available for 'Hell on Earth', a dark fantasy action roguelite now on Kickstarter

18 comments • i.redd.it
Hello r/pcgaming,

I’m Olivier from 2Frogs Software, the small indie team making Hell on Earth.

We just launched our Kickstarter, but more importantly, the Alpha version of the game is available for everyone to play on Steam for the duration of the campaign. The Alpha focuses on one full level of the game and lets players try the core combat, progression, inventory, and story introduction.

Hell on Earth is a dark fantasy action roguelite built around short, intense 15-minute runs. You fight through large enemy hordes and bosses with unique mechanics while building persistent progression through loots, gold, weapons, armor, and gems that can be upgraded between runs.

The current Alpha includes:
- One full playable level
- The Paladin class
- Boss encounters
- Large enemy hordes
- Persistent gear progression
- Weapons, armor, gems, chests, inventory, and store systems
- Solo play for the current Alpha. (Multiplayer exists, but it is not fully supported yet)
Our longer-term goal is to expand the …

My experimental clicker game Flufftopia: Fluffmazing Edition got a big 1.1 update today!

3 comments • reddit.com

Hey,

Flufftopia: Fluffmazing Edition is a cozy little clicker game with a story. That is what you see at first glance. But it is more. It’s an experimental game where you can explore a lot if you are into that.

At first, you are tasked with transforming your little Flufftown into Flufftopia. Improve your buildings, hire workers, all for your big goal … but wait, there is something strange.

Today, Flufftopia: Fluffmazing Edition got the big 1.1 Flufftastic Update. It improves the game in many ways and is a substantial update. Without spoiling too much, there is even a new music track. How often does it happen that an update features new music?

The game is best experienced spoiler-free but there are many videos made about the game you can watch online.

Key Features

- Cute world

- Multiple endings

- Relaxing soundtrack

Right now, Flufftopia: Fluffmazing Edition is 30% off on Steam. You can get it for less than 4$! …
Please support Ukrainian language localization in Total War: Medieval III — here's the case for it

10 comments • reddit.com

Hey r/pcgaming,

With Total War: Medieval III in early development, I wanted to raise the topic of Ukrainian localization — and I think the numbers make a strong case.

According to Steam’s hardware survey, Ukrainian is the 14th most used language on the platform at 0.73% of all users — ahead of Italian and Czech. Ukraine ranks 17th globally by Steam gaming audience, above South Korea and Italy. With ~132 million monthly active users on Steam, that’s roughly 1 million potential players.

Ukraine has a population of approximately 39 million people with a large and active gaming community. Major titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur’s Gate 3 have already added Ukrainian localization and received very positive feedback for it.

Worth noting — Total War: Pharaoh was the first entry in the franchise to drop Russian localization entirely, which shows Creative Assembly is already making conscious decisions about which languages to support. Ukrainian would be a natural and …
Unpopular Opinion: Valorant is a Fundamentally Flawed Game

38 comments • reddit.com

I’ve recently tried getting into Valorant after playing other class based, tactical, and arcade shooters my entire life. I’ve played them all at differing skill levels but the common denominator between them is that the gameplay and shooting had always felt consistent and rewarding independent of the properties of those specific games. Valorant’s gameplay on the other hand just feels so unrewarding and contradictory.

When I shoot a rifle in Cod or Fortnite I understand the game’s shooting mechanics are more arcadey and the higher variability in the guns bloom makes sense. When I shoot a usp or cavieras pistol in cs or siege respectively the guns feel consistent and when I lose an aim duel I usually can easily pinpoint why. Valorant’s gunplay on the other hand feels extremely contradictory and limiting as the high amount of variability of the gun’s accuracy doesn’t make for fair and consistent gameplay given the low time to kill and marketing …

If this happens to you as well then how do you deal with it?

Happens with all the story games…I start…google the outcome…and then i play through it…a bunch of times…get tired of doing the same thing again and again…drop the game…start an anime or a show.

I barely play anymore during the week cause of work and when i get time during the weekends, i dont wanna play games anymore.

I dont even remember the last story game that i ever fully finished.

This is a very special moment for us. This project started modestly, in our free time, between two workdays, with the simple desire to tell a story that was close to our hearts. Little by little, scene after scene, background after background, dialogue after dialogue, the game took shape.

For a long time, me and my friend worked on it in the evenings, on weekends, whenever we could find a little time and energy to dedicate to it. Then, over the last few months, we decided to devote ourselves to it full-time in order to give it all the attention, care, and quality it deserved.

This is our first game, and it means a great deal to us: years of learning, doubts, difficult choices, but also many beautiful moments of creation. We wanted to offer a sincere, handcrafted adventure, entirely hand-drawn, with a strong atmosphere and a story that we hope will leave a lasting impression.

We also want to thank everyone who supported us throughout development. Your support truly mattered. ❤️

After a lot of early hype, has VR gaming died? Or has it just gone quiet?

515 comments • reddit.com

Title pretty much sums it up - I feel like 6-8 years ago everyone (including myself) was hyped about VR headset gaming. I played Super Hot and Tilt Brush and was blown away by both. But over the past 5 years I stopped hearing about VR entirely. Literally one person out of many of my gaming friends owns a VR headset (the PS one) and he hasn’t used it in years. I never see posts about VR games in the big gaming subreddits.

Did VR gaming rise and fall already? I thought VR was super fun and always wanted to buy a headset, but if there still isn’t much a library of great games/experiences being developed on an ongoing basis, it seems pointless.

Visually and acoustically, Star Fox impressed us across the board. The overall atmosphere is more intense, more immersive, and still retains that essential sense of nostalgia for longtime veterans. All the more disappointing, then, is the lack of additional missions to expand the relatively short single-player campaign. While the Challenge Mode is a nice extra for achievement hunters, full-fledged missions or even a second campaign would have added significant value to the remake. The multiplayer mode also suffers from a limited number of maps and mission types, even though the core gameplay is enjoyable. We hope that Star Fox marks …

A bit on why I made it: I’ve been gaming on my PC from the living room couch for years, and as much as I love it, it always came with friction. Controllers that won’t work in half my games, having to reach for a mouse to do anything on the desktop, tweaking settings before every session. I’m a developer, but a PC gamer long before that, so at some point I just built the tool I kept wishing I had, shaped by my own setup and the exact things that tripped me up. That’s Couchpit, and with all the living-room and Steam Machine momentum lately it felt like the right time to share it.

Here’s what it does:

1. Any controller, seen as a standard Xbox pad. It makes non-Xbox controllers (DualSense, DualShock, Switch Pro, 8BitDo, Steam Controller and Steam Controller 2, and more) show up as a standard Xbox pad, so they work in any game that supports Xbox/XInput controllers (Game Pass, …

Disclaimer : I don’t play these games before listing them. I don’t claim to offer any expert opinion either, I just skim through SteamDB to check games that release every day, take the time to read the pitch and the reviews when there are any, watch trailers and do a bit of digging around online. This takes me 6 to 7 hours to do. Several people asked me if there was a way to subscribe/follow me somewhere. I made a free patreon page where I’ll post all the future issues of this format, just follow me and you’ll get a mail everytime I publish something.

Driving Rogue - Arcade driving meets roguelike runs!

28 comments • youtu.be

We’re making Driving Rogue, a roguelike arcade driving game built around score chasing, near-misses, upgrades, and surviving as long as you can before one crash ends the run.
Here is the gameplay trailer!

The pitch is: what if an arcade driving game had the structure of a roguelike? Instead of traditional races, each run is about pushing your luck through traffic, drifting through tight gaps, chaining near-misses, collecting cards/upgrades, and trying to build a better run than your last one.

We’ve been thinking a lot about how to make driving games replayable outside of normal racing formats. For Driving Rogue, that means:

Procedural runs instead of fixed tracks
Different cars with different strengths
Upgrade/card choices during the run
Risk/reward scoring from near-misses, drifting, and slipstreaming
Leaderboard-style score chasing
A run-ending crash system

The demo is live on Steam, and we’d really appreciate feedback from PC players. We’re especially interested in whether the …

Translation via Google Translate:

A light aircraft crashed Friday afternoon, June 19, in a field in the town of La Baule, killing two people, Loire-Atlantique firefighters announced.

Upon arrival at the scene, “the aircraft was on fire and the flames were spreading to the surrounding vegetation.”

Contacted by Ici Loire Océan, the mayor of La Baule, Franck Louvrier, indicated that it was “a Cessna 421, a twin-engine propeller plane with eight seats, which had departed from Rennes.”

According to information from Ouest-France, which we can confirm, Claude Guillemot, co-founder with his four brothers of Ubisoft and owner of the aircraft, was one of the two victims.

The Breton leader was expected this weekend in La Baule for a gathering of over a hundred aircraft. The other …

The invitation seems to still indicate a 2026 launch, although it does not have a specific date and it would be quite close to a GTA VI release.

Nonetheless, as someone who has never played Star Citizen but has followed it because following a potentially doomed project is interesting, it seems like the single player portion of their commitment may actually happen in the near future.

An event like this is not something they’ve done before.

The Steam Next Fest is back again for the second time this year, with some big games from the last few weeks of announcements and many others besides. Let’s give our favorites the flowers they deserve!

Some of the most notable participants this time around include:
- Onimusha: Way of the Sword, CAPCOM’s modern revival of their PlayStation action franchise.
- Screenbound, a mixed-perspective platformer where you’re navigating both in 3D and 2D simultaneously.
- Valor Mortis, a first-person soulslike from the developers of the Ghostrunner series.
- Echoes of Aincrad, a new Sword Art Online JRPG that has you set out as your own created character instead of following the show’s protagonists.
- EMPULSE, Splitgate developer 1047 Games’ take on Titanfall’s multiplayer combat.
A few others that caught my eye have been:
- Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!, an oddball driving game from Strange Scaffold where you run over people to have them …

Strange Seed - Chronicle Games - Evolve in a Spore-like RPG world; Daily Deal and Ocean update today!

0 comments • reddit.com
Strange Seed is a bit like Spore’s creature stage, but instead of a simulator, it’s an RPG with a semi-linear adventure, characters, a story, and a lot of challenges to adapt to!

We just finished a huge (but free) Ocean stage expansion where you can swim around and pick up weird DNA sources like jellyfish, sea urchins, squids, sharks and something freaky in the deep abyss.

Also, Steam gave the game a Daily Deal slot today so it’s 30% off right now, the highest discount to date.
- Steam page
- Trailer
Strange Seed comes from a wish that Spore had been more like an older creature evolution game, E.V.O.: Search for Eden.

Evolved parts should actually change gameplay and be used for specific tasks, for instance:
- Become small enough to crawl through a tiny tunnel
- Become big enough to push a heavy boulder
- Balance your wings with stamina bonuses to get through a platforming segment
- Load up on shells and spikes to become a defensive creature, or claws and teeth for a …

Duo Heli Combat - SyrBor Games - Helicopter action with local co-op, strategy elements & a demo on Steam

3 comments • reddit.com
Hey r/Games, I’m a solo dev making Duo Heli Combat. The demo is one mission: intercept an enemy bomber. Play solo or in local co-op on the same screen - pick your weapons, call in reinforcements, and decide how to approach the fight.

What’s in the demo:
- Intercept mission with tactical freedom (choose objectives, call allied units)
- Build your own weapon loadout - unlock machine guns, rockets and mix them to your style
What’s coming later (the heart of the game):
- A unique co-op mode where two helicopters are tethered by a fuel hose - forced synchronisation, shared fuel, walker boss fights - missions impossible alone
- Full campaign (prisoner rescues, convoys, base captures) and 1v1 PvP
I kept the demo focused so players could nail the basics first. I’d love feedback on how the helicopter feels, if the loadout choices work, and how local co-op plays for you.

Cheat Death - GG Studio - Roguelite + dice poker + horror: Every roll can save you or end your run (Slay the Spire meets Inscryption)[DEMO]

4 comments • reddit.com
Cheat Death is a dark strategic roguelite where your only opponent is the Grim Reaper himself! You play dice poker against Death: every hand is a risk, every roll can save or end you.

If you like: Slay the Spire’s deckbuilding tension + Inscryption’s creepy cabin dread + dice poker (pairs, straights, full houses) — this one’s for you.

Key features:
- Dice poker as combat – Build hands to deal damage, heal, or stack bonuses.
- Gamble with your soul – push your luck for better rolls, but one bad hand can be fatal.
- Unlock cursed perks – each run changes your strategy.
- Horror atmosphere – Candles, shadows, and Death who knows your odds better than you do.
It’s a roguelite. It’s horror. It’s dice poker with Death himself.

Demo is available now on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4202000/Cheat_Death_Demo/

Watch the Latest Trailer:
https://youtu.be/h7NEyQi_hl4

I’d love to hear your feedback — does the dice poker combat feel fair? Is the risk/reward balanced? Try the demo and …
Exark - Robot Cat Games - Eclectic engine builder on a giant ark (demo available)

0 comments • reddit.com

Hi all, I’m making Exark, a retina-burning engine builder / auto-battler set on a giant flying ark! You build buildings, hire crew, and collect relics to generate resources and morale, while staving off attacks from sky-pirates.

Steam

Itch.io

Exark is essentially an inventory management autobattler at its core, with a few key differences - it’s a purely single-player game, and borrows a lot of elements from 4X games - unlike most autobattlers, a purely peaceful, builder approach is viable.

If that sounds interesting, please give the demo (launched just ahead of Next Fest) a try! Any feedback and suggestions are always appreciated.
Timebound - Michal Kluz - Inspired by Outer Wilds and The Talos Principle, a puzzle adventure with layers of secrets hidden in plain sight

3 comments • reddit.com

Hello r/Games! I love games that give you a genuine feeling of discovery and respect your intelligence, so I’ve been making a game just like that for the past three years. It’s called Timebound and it’s a rule-discovery puzzle adventure with no handholding, you’re just dropped into a world and left on your own to explore. My wife Patrycja makes all the art, and our friend Fabien creates music and sound. We have a demo that’s already packed with content and layers of secrets to explore. While Outer Wilds and The Talos Principle are the biggest inspirations, players often say that playing reminds them of The Witness, Taiji and Tunic.

Features:

- “Aha!” moments - puzzles are designed to seem impossible at first glance. You need to level up your brain to solve them.

- NO upgrades, NO unlocks, NO items - the only progression is your knowledge of the world

- Meta puzzles - “jailbreak” elements of one puzzle to “cheat” …

I've spent 4 years making a dark fantasy metroidvania inspired by the legend of Elizabeth Bathory. The Steam Next Fest demo is finally live.

25 comments • youtube.com

I’m a solo developer and for the last four years I’ve been working on Blade of Mercy: Bloody Countess, a dark fantasy metroidvania inspired by the legend of Elizabeth Bathory.

The game focuses on exploration, interconnected world design, tactical combat, and hand-crafted pixel art. One of its more unusual mechanics is that beer restores health, but excessive intoxication can become a serious problem.

Most of the art, animation, design and programming have been done by me.

The demo is participating in Steam Next Fest and I’d genuinely love to hear what gamers think about the combat, exploration, difficulty and overall feel of the game.

Steam demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3504400/Blade_of_Mercy_Bloody_Countess/

I have built CS Manager. The demo is live on Steam.

11 comments • store.steampowered.com

Hi everyone

CS Manager puts you in charge of an esports organization. You must make decisions on your roster, backroom staff, finances, and tournament schedule to bring your team to the top of the circuit. Players’ skills are only one part of building a squad. Their roles, map pool, languages spoken, and personalities all determine whether you will have success. A well-drilled and cohesive team of lesser skill can easily take down a team of badly organized star players.

You can simulate all your games and focus purely on management if that is most to your liking, but the game also features a real-time match engine where you can watch your players and tactics in action, call timeouts, and make adjustments to improve your winning chances.

The demo is live and can be found on Steam:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4482650/CS_Manager_Demo/

On a personal note, I have drawn a lot of inspiration from other manager games such as Football Manager and Motorsport Manager while …

Disclaimer : since it wasn’t clear to everyone last time, I’ll try to make it shorter.

I don’t play these games before listing them. I don’t claim to offer any expert opinion either, I just skim through SteamDB to check games that release every day, take the time to read the pitch and the reviews when there are any, watch trailers and do a bit of digging around online. This takes me 6 to 7 hours to do.
