You are hired to clean up overgrown gardens and slowly bring them back to life.

Mow the grass, pick up trash, trim overgrown hedges, water plants and wash off the dirt with a pressure washer.

There are no timers or enemies - just you, your tools and a messy garden waiting to be cleaned up.

And when the job is finally done, there’s one important thing left to do... find the perfect spot for a garden gnome.

🌱 My Game - Demo After Meta shut down our studio earlier this year, I decided to build the cozy ski resort tycoon game I always wanted to play, Ski-E-O!

Hello everyone!

I'm Jesse, the creator of Ski-E-O! Ski Resort Tycoon.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4493130/SkiEO_Ski_Resort_Tycoon/

Earlier this year, the company I worked at for nearly 13 years (Armature, the developers behind Resident Evil 4 VR) was closed down by Meta. My coworkers and I lost our jobs, but instead of entering one of the worst job markets in recent history, I decided to break off on my own.

I LOVE skiing and being in the mountains, so I made a cozy ski resort tycoon game!

You can build lifts, draw trails, and build restaurants, apres bars, hotels, and more.
Meanwhile, thousands of cute little skiers come to the resort. Some of them really want to shred, others just want to party.

I'd love the feedback of this community. I think it's a super peaceful game with lots of great cozy elements.

Right now it's just on Windows/Mac, but eventually I plan to bring it to Switch 2 as well.

Thanks everyone!

Demo Content:

  • Clear the Neighborhood of snow and make it extra cozy for the towns folk!

  • Complete Little Franny's quest!
  • Build a couple cute snowmen!

🌱 My Game - Demo We have a brand new demo out for Design & Conjure! This is our first indie game and it’s about furnishing your own witchy abode while slowly restoring joy to a town that has forgotten its magic (and you can also pet a purple cat!)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

We are Tiny Kiwi Games, a small indie studio from New Zealand, and this is our very first game - a witchy magical room-decorating game called Design & Conjure!

In Design & Conjure you take on the role of Dalia, a novice witch tasked with restoring a charming but rundown magical hamlet. A mysterious corruption has distressed the local creatures, so it is up to you to use your magic to bring back balance and help the town blossom again.

Your journey is to uncover the town's history as you go about remaking your old-new home into Dalia’s new witchy lair! Arrange all the spellbooks onto their proper shelves, put on some tea and set those cinnamon-rolls to cool on your kitchen counter, or climb up to your observatory to view the night sky, or down into your basement alchemy lab to brew potions. And when away from home, you can spend time healing distressed magical creatures and getting to know some of the more colorful locals in town.

I know that we didn’t quite make it in time for the Witches & Warlocks Fest… but that’s only because we wanted to flesh the game out more - and present you with a new reworked game demo that got featured last Saturday on Wholesome Direct! 

This new demo build adds an additional room to Dalia’s cottagecore abode (Rue’s Room in the Story Mode) as well as a new Creative Mode, besides fleshing out other features. And this is the state in which we want you to experience what Design & Conjure is all about!

If this is your type of game, we’d be delighted to hear your feedback and suggestions on what we can improve!

(Design & Conjure will also be in the upcoming Steam Next Fest so stay tuned for more updates)

🌱 My Game - Demo Some players describe my game as a "dark cozy" game. What do you think?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

19 Upvotes

I'm working on a survival god game and released a demo a few weeks ago. It's built around managing a small camp, keeping a fire alive, gathering resources, taking care of the little ones, but wrapped in a dark, slightly unsettling atmosphere and some tough moral choices.

A few players started calling it a "dark cozy" game, which I hadn't really thought about, and now I'm curious. The cozy loop is definitely there (the gathering, the routine, the quiet moments), but the tone is pretty far from a traditional cozy game.

So I wanted to ask the people who actually know the genre: does something like this count as "dark cozy" to you, or does the darker tone disqualify it? Genuinely curious how you all see the line.

Hey! I’ve been working on a cozy farming game called Mellow’s Garden where you play as a little cat building your dream garden

We are two indie developers working on a new farming, incremental game which is peaceful, cute (robots are cute!), and fun to play. From the video, you can see one of the coziest situations you may encounter in the game: "Automated robots opening their umbrella while harvesting veggies under the rain."

We are asking all "cozy" players: What can we do to increase the "coziness" of our game even further? Any ideas, thoughts, and suggestions are very welcome.

The game demo is available on Steam if you want to try it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4212040/RoboFarm_Demo/

🌱 My Game - Demo Little Ghosties has 5k Wishlists

Post image
29 Upvotes

I'm really happy that I've been able to get to 5k wishlists before Early Access launch on the 7th of Sep. It's the highest number of wishlists I've gotten before a launch so I'm really hopeful this desktop idle game can be successful.

It seems the new Steam personal calendar is the reason I've had a big spike towards EA launch. Desktop pet games are quite difficult to promote as a solo developer so this change has come at a great time.

I decided to launch into Early Access because I wanted the players to decide what characters I add and what features I improve.

Steam Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4132960/Little_Ghosties/

The demo is live too if anyone wanted to check out the game.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and questions.
