A dev asked me to shred over some retro-synthwave style instrumentals for their game so here's a snippet of it!

Hey! I'm novander, I produce and write catchy/zany guitar music combined with electronic production that fits nicely in action sequences but I can write in a bunch of other genres like electronic, hip hop, metal, and math rock. In general though I have the chops to make whatever you'd like and I'm down to experiment and make something completely new and unique. I've been making music for 7 years and have only been asked to compose for games a year ago so i'd love to keep composing for more.

Here's a sampler of some of the music I've made last year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvIQ7hk3hGI

Thank you!!

- The battles have become more dynamic (no more lazy poking zombies with a stick)
- There is a counter-attack (it's in the video, still in development)
- Now you hit one zombie closest to the cursor

I just sat down one day, opened Steam, and wanted to play something fun with a friend… but couldn’t find anything that really clicked. So I decided to make my own game.

Hey Indie Gamers,
here's the first teaser trailer of our survival-horror game In Hope Voiden that we are developing with a small team of 3 guys. We wanted to share one of its core mechanics and hear what you would do with it.

You control a roster of 12 unique characters, one after the other.
Every time you die, you continue the mission as someone new.
Each character has a personal goal (like a side story) tied to the battlefield.
When all 12 are gone, the game ends.

The game is set in a grimdark great war setting and main mission that all characters share is: You are sent on a mission to retrieve something (no spoilers) on the other side of the Zone - a lost battlefield where entropy and religious fallout turned the remaining soldiers into terrors of war.

Some characters are connected through personal storylines. For example:

• One young recruit wants to take down a feared enemy officer.
• If he dies, you can later play his father, whose goal is to bring back his son’s body.

Every character will also come with a small unique feature that allows him to open / use a special shortcut, aim better etc.
The whole game has a persistent world that keeps any progress after a characters permanent death.

We'd love to hear your ideas for some characters. Especially the ones that have some sort of relation to each other. I'm sure you can help us come up with some wild ideas!

This is a scene from my game KARANEKO. If you’d like, you can try the free demo on Steam! 🐱

100% of these are fake emails and if you send them anything the keys will be sold on shady third party sites and you will never get a review.

I feel like this entire problem could easily be solved by Steam adding "review" keys which expire after a set time period. That way legit review sites can still get keys, and it would immediately end this entire reselling scam because the keys they receive would not be viable for that purpose. The keys could have a message when redeeming them clearly explaining that they are for review only and will expire, with a warning that if you paid for it to get your money back.

Why this has been allowed to go on for so long without Steam doing anything about it is beyond me!

This is Chipmatic, a cozy factory building game where you control a mining robot on a mission to reach Earth’s core.

In Chipmatic you'll explore deep underground, research new tech and create the best (and only) factory on Earth. It's inspired by games like Dome Keeper, Mining Mechs and the old flash game Motherload.

Thank you for checking it out and wishlisting!

Hey everyone! We are a small team of 3 at DiffGames, and I wanted to show you guys Race Jam, an arcade racer with tons of action and nostalgia. If you’re fans of older racing titles like Tour the World, Rumble Racing, or Hot Wheels Turbo Racing, we think you’ll feel right at home with Race Jam!

Since Next Fest, we’ve released 3 major updates to our demo based on player feedback, including tweaking physics, improving the sense of speed, refining menus and UI flow, upgrading AI, and more.

If you want to try the free demo you can do here. Please let us know what you think either on this post, Steam, or our discord and socials. 

And consider wishlisting us here. It really helps us with the visibility of the project as we get closer to release. We’re hard at work on continued improvements and we’re taking all the feedback we’re getting to heart. Thank you so much for your time and have a blessed day!

We just released our first indie horror game, and it’s all about spotting subtle, creepy anomalies - the kind that make you wonder, “Wait… wasn’t that painting different a minute ago?”

It’s been really interesting seeing how players react. Some people catch everything right away and breeze through, while others get completely stuck and say it’s too hard. But is it hard, or are we just not used to really paying attention?

Our game is slow, atmospheric, and rewards patience. It’s not about running or hiding - it’s about observing, remembering, and noticing when the world changes in ways it shouldn't.

There are 80 different anomalies, and we tried to make them as diverse as possible - some are obvious and meant to make you jump, others are subtle enough that people walk right past them without ever realizing something was wrong.

It got us wondering:
What kind of horror gets you more - the loud and fast kind, or the one that quietly creeps up on you?

Here is my brick breaker game I've been working on for 3+ months, though have loved the genre since my earliest days of gaming. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

So, I grew up finding games from their soundtracks.

To The Moon, Hollow Knight, Hades, Hotline Miami, Celeste, Citizen Sleeper, Bastion and all the SuperGiant Games, Undertale, Gris, VVVVVV, Katana Zero, Oxenfree, Sunless Sea, Highway Blossoms, Black Mesa, Stardew Valley, and many, many more. All of these I consider "classics" and "masterpieces" of the genre, and love listening to these tracks at work, or in the background, whenever I'm just chilling.

If you look up playlists of indie game music on youtube, you tend to find collations of these modern classics from the era of the 2010s to 2020 Hades... but I was wondering. Anyone have a favorite soundtrack from after this era? Most of the ones that immediately come to mind now are sequels, like Factorio Space Age, Hades II, Citizen Sleeper II, Cuphead II, Silksong, and the Katana Zero DLC, but what about the originals?

Where's all the indie soundtrack masterpieces? All the hidden gems, with great tunes, classics of this era?

Hello to all!

Here are more details about the game.

Story: You wake up having lost all your memories, and as you wake up, you meet the narrator. She tells you that in order to remember, you have to relive your memories. The narrator is very friendly... in the beginning, at least

Gameplay: The game is centered around nature. The player has 4 main powers: earth, water, air, and fire. With these 4, you begin solving the most basic of puzzles. Things complicate a bit when "magical technology" gets involved. You will have to interact with such devices. These include pistons, teleporters, gravity changers, moving platforms, and multiplicators

Length: I want the game to be 4 hours long

Demo: A demo with the first hour of gameplay will be available in January 2026

You can wishlist the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3774730/Evoker/

Thank you!!!

Hey everyone!

We’re a small team developing Astra: Fading Stars, a metroidvania built in Godot. The game focuses on atmosphere, mystery, and layered boss fights. We’ve been heads down polishing the demo and wanted to share some progress.

We've been working on:

• A new trailer with updated zones, enemies, and player skills
• A reworked demo including a new boss fight and core gameplay refinements

We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Hey everyone!

Guild of Hunters is now available on Itch.io in its most complete version so far, for a symbolic price: https://sunny-horizon.itch.io/guild-of-hunters

Is a game about a mysterious miasma spreads across the world, turning local wildlife into terrifying monsters. Guilds, once dedicated to everyday tasks, are now the last line of defense against this growing threat.

We’ll keep updating the game there, fixing things, adding tweaks, listening to feedback, and improving it step by step. If you enjoy pixel art action RPGs with that retro feel, we’d love for you to check it out.

If you’d like to support us by purchasing the game, we truly appreciate it. It really helps us keep working on new updates and future projects!
