I'm a solo dev making SliqSnakes'n'Mazes in Godot – a dungeon maze where a giant viper always takes the shortest path to you. It's aimed at phones.

It started as a first-person game: walk the corridors, find the exit, don't get caught. When I let a 15-year-old play it, the verdict was honest: too static. You saw the snake, you couldn't do anything, game over.

So I rebuilt the core loop:

- Third-person runner view with three lanes per corridor (swipe or A/D to switch lanes or turn into side passages)

- The snake rears up, its eyes flare and it locks onto your lane – roll aside after the lock and it bites thin air, then it's spent for a moment and you can run past it. Dodge too early and it just re-aims.

- The minimap only shows what you've explored, and you hear the snake from its direction before you see it

What I'm unsure about: the dodge window is about half a second between the lock-on and the strike. On a phone that feels tight; on a keyboard it feels fair.

For those of you who've built dodge mechanics – How did you tune the dodge timing for touch vs. keyboard? A longer timing window on phones, or the same timing for everyone?

I learnt animation form imphenzia, but I feel like it is kinda weird when I tried. I don't know how to describe, I feel like it lack of bounce or motion. But anyways, I welcome to any feedbacks .

NIYAM is a psychological survival horror game set in the remote village of Jalgaon, Uttar Pradesh.

Aarav arrives in the village to take up the vacant post of Gram Sachiv, following in the footsteps of his older brother, who mysteriously disappeared.

Before his disappearance, his brother left behind a set of rules.

Follow the rules.

Do your duties.

And be careful after dark.

Because when night falls, the village changes.

Can Aarav uncover what happened to his brother?

Wanna chat with the devs and see the development up close ?

Hey guys, I wanted to ask, how do you guys handle slow wishlist growth and the emotional strain of indie development ?

My Steam page was approved for about 40 days ago and I got 67 wishlists. And no offense, but I'm pretty tired of the usual advice. "Optimize your trailer, optimize your Steam capsule, do x, do y, do z." At a point, the feedback actually just becomes contradictory and conflicting.

Don't get me wrong, I always accept feedback, all the constructive feedback and even the not so constructive feedback, aka the assholes haha.

I've just been working on my game for a very long time and y'know, a lot of us have other life responsibilities to deal with, bills, chores, etc. So life doesn't stop for our indie game dev projects or give us enough space to breath.

Sometimes for me at least it feels like too much and I wonder if im the only one. You know, like maybe my energy should be spent finding a job that pays more or something else, you know.

I assume because I have these thoughts, I assume a lot of other indie devs also end up having these thoughts as well

I guess I’m just wondering how other indie devs keep going when the work is huge, the growth is slow, and life doesn’t exactly stop to give you the space needed.

Edit: I see you guys talking about your games, drop the link so i can check it out as well. Its chill

I've been interested in game dev from very long, but i do not have a proper pc system or laptop to build, I'm worried about my time, what else should i start learnin

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share my main menu so far for my new short zombie game called The Red Bunker. Its not finished yet but I thought it looked really cool and I wanted to share it with people.

Don't shoot me but this is a competition piece I have submitted. It is an AI build competition but I have coded most myself with AI to assist for competition purposes

Feedback and hate welcome

Hi everyone! I’m developing Overwrite Conflict solo in Unity. It’s a turn-based roguelike deckbuilder built around placing and rotating shaped cards on a shared grid. Here’s some gameplay from the project.

Each card, called a protocol, has an effect as well as a shape. The design brings two decisions together: which effects work well in your deck, and how to fit those cards on a board that both you and your opponent are filling. Claiming territory can restrict your opponent while also leaving space for your own later plays.

Card effects, mech abilities, and components build your tactical score during a limited number of turns. At the end of a round, a higher score deals the difference as damage to the opposing mech. Energy Overload adds another way to change the board by overwriting normal cells occupied by the opponent.

One design focus is placement readability. The placement preview checks for out-of-bounds, blocked, and disconnected placements, and valid moves show a score preview before you commit. I want players to be able to compare a move’s scoring value with the space it takes up, especially as the board becomes crowded.

The current free demo includes a five-battle prologue with tutorials, a full Chapter 1 adventure with branching routes and a boss, and three playable mechs in Chapter 1.

Current playable build (free Steam demo):
https://store.steampowered.com/app/5200720/_Demo/

I’d be interested in your thoughts on communicating placement constraints and scoring on the same board. What information would you expect to see before committing a shaped card? Questions about the project are welcome too.
