First of all, I would like to apologize if there are any mistakes, I am French and I am translating this message with Google Translate.

I want to create a psychological horror game that breaks the fourth wall (like Doki Doki Literature Club for example), and in the title screen of my game, I would like to make it so that the player is forced to use the "QUIT" button on the title screen, preventing them from closing the game in any other way (there will still be some emergency solutions, but little known to most users).

I know that I can legally remove the cross at the top of the window since it is directly an element that belongs to my program, and also that I can close the command prompt since it does not require administrator rights.

But the remaining problem is the task manager. To close it, you need administrator rights, and after doing some research, although it's not illegal in France, I learned that it is illegal in some countries like the United States, and that game sharing sites like itch.io prohibit it.

So I was wondering: what exactly is illegal about this? Is it closing a system-protected application, or preventing the use of the task manager, regardless of whether it's closed with administrator rights or otherwise?

Because if it's only closing a Windows-protected application that's prohibited, I planned to just make the window move to the task manager in "always on top" mode, which shouldn't require administrator rights, the problem with that is just that the user could open a second window further away from the first.

Also, I don't know if it's important to mention, but the program only blocks the use of the task manager on the title screen; nothing will be blocked during the rest of the game, so the effect is only temporary and does NOTHING (normally) damage the computer.

My knowledge is rather tiny and i am older now and kind of wonder if it is too late perhaps.
The kind of game i would have in mind is something like "the cat lady" and shorts like "unsorted horror". 

That may be a little too high of a goal for me with rather zero knowledge.

I had once the idea to make a game utilizing DAZ3d but i figure it is rather very costly and time consuming just rendering.
So i probably rather draw things myself.

In any case, any suggestions are welcome.
It is also my aim through this to learn to code and to understand what is possible.

Thanks.

I need to hear possible feedback from people that working with such a genre of games, to understand if it's really needed or it will be just a waste of time.

As gamedev, I have a serious doubt with the gameplay of the game I'm developing... I’m considering disabling mouse controls ...

 With the mouse enabled, players can accidentally trigger events just by clicking somewhere on the map, and I feel the gameplay is more consistent when limited to “arrow keys + action button (e.g., spacebar).”

My concern is that removing mouse support might drive away a number of players who prefer or rely on it. What do you think — would this be a big drawback for you? What would you do in my place?

Thanks in advance to the community!

What is Wolf RPG Editor?

It's an engine that works like RPG Maker, but it's completely free! The only downside would be that those who don't understand Japanese can't easily find special tricks since the official forum is...well, Japanese.

• You can download it here: https://www.moddb.com/engines/wolf-rpg-editor/downloads
• The Official Website/Forum can be found here: click here!
• The translated manual can be found here: click here!
• And lastly, the only (English) Youtube channel that covers some tricks on the engine can be found here: click here!

That being said, I highly recommend that you explore through the manual and Youtube channel before you begin discussing here!

I hope this will help someone around here, especially since these were the only pieces of information I was able to find online. A translator would be very useful, especially since the official site provides so many custom common events that are unreadable. 

Anyways, feel free to talk ahead, I will try my best to answer as much as I can, but I won't be able to answer a lot because of  my own lack of knowledge. 

Hope everyone's projects are going well! Quick question for the community:

I'm researching AI tools for game development and would love to hear from people actively making games (like all of you!). 

Made a super quick survey (5 mins) about:

- How you approach prototyping during jams

- What slows you down

- If AI tools would help or just get in the way

Survey: https://qualtricsxmf39dfwj5s.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4TQa8Kzts79DX6K

Everyone who fills it out gets entered for a $200 gift card, and I'll share the results back here when it's done.

Would really appreciate your input – trying to understand what actual gamedevs need vs what companies think we need!

Thanks and happy jamming! 🎮✨

Yes, it was about time. I started developing my own programming language a few years ago and it's matured quite well, so that I tested further how far I could go.

I made many practical real-world scripts and applications and of course I wanted to make a small game with it.

My programming language consists of two parts:

The script interpreter

So, my programming language is actually a scripting language. I got hugely inspired by AutoIt and AutoHotKey, which was very popular when I was a teenager around 20 years ago (wow!). Thus my scripting language is very similar. 

The interpreter essentially consists of a C++ source and header file, and is designed to be used within your own C++ projects to outsource tasks in scripts. I used it in two projects so far: An own custom web server with backend scripting functionality and in my own scripting shell. The former project is lost, but the latter is progressing well! Meet AquaShell.

The scripting shell

AquaShell is a scripting and automation shell that I personally use as a substitution for PowerShell or cmd.exe. So far I've created many useful automation scripts, as well as complex scripted applications. And one of the scripted applications is a small Asteroids inspired space shooter. :D

That said, the game is laggy as hell. Imagine writing a game in PowerShell, AutoIt, AutoHotKey, Tcl or whatever. But the flaws is also that my scripting system interprets on the fly. There is no VM or any other thing that would speed up running graphical applications. But it's fine. I mean the shell is not designed for that purpose, but it's funny to see how far you can go.

If you want to see the result, here is the game page, covering a demo video, screenshots and a download. But note that AquaShell is of course required to launch the game. Also AquaShell and all associated projects are open-sourced software using the MIT license.

Compare load times: https://greatunclepixel.itch.io/findtheflag (my game) vs. https://hairic.itch.io/hectic-toys (from a streamer I've started watching).  ... this is not an attempt to advertise my game. :D

I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what it is, or even whether the problem is in my Godot settings or my itch.io settings.  I hope someone can help. If you need more details, let me know.

Introduction
Hey! I’m axgin96, a small dev who sometimes hacks together tiny plugins to make RPG Maker work the way I need. When they help me, I share them—hopefully they’ll help someone else too.
RegionSoundManager does one simple, handy thing: it binds ambient sounds (BGS) to map Region IDs. Paint your river with a Region, assign a water sound, and the plugin handles the rest—volume fades in as you get closer, fades out as you leave, and multiple regions can layer nicely for richer ambience.


Features
• Region-based ambient audio (BGS)
• Smooth volume transitions / proximity falloff
• Supports multiple regions concurrently
• Simple API with three calls (set, clear, stop)
• Plug-and-play; no custom eventing needed beyond a Parallel event/common event


Screenshots

How to Use

1. In the map editor, paint the areas you want to “emit” sound using a Region ID.
2. Create a Common Event or Map Event set to Parallel.
3. Add the script call(s) below to register your regions and sounds.
4. Place the BGS files in /audio/bgs/.
   That’s it—the plugin handles detection, mixing, and volume transitions automatically.

Plugin Commands / Script Calls
Code:

RegionSoundManager.setRegion(regionId, radius, soundName, maxVolume)

• regionId: Region ID on your map (e.g., 10)
• radius: Detection radius around the player (e.g., 5 tiles)
• soundName: BGS filename in /audio/bgs/ (without extension)
• maxVolume: Max volume on top of the Region (0–100)


Example:
Code:

RegionSoundManager.setRegion(10, 4, "River", 80)

Utilities:
Code:

RegionSoundManager.clear()

— removes all active region sounds
Code:

RegionSoundManager.stop()

— stops the current playing BGS


Demo
An empty project demo is included so you can test right away. It’s configured with sample Regions and BGS to showcase all features.

I am used to developing for steam. The steps there is pretty simple:

1. Game client reaches out through the steam dll to generate a session ticket and sends that ticket info to the server.

2. Server reaches out to the steam servers to verify the ticket info. And bind the steam id to the player game data (characters, etc).

The above, the Server doesn't trust the data from the client, but trusts the steam servers response. Pretty simple. For itch.io. I don't see the equivalent. The closest I can find is something like the following, but I want to make sure I'm not breaking any policies, etc:

1. Client reads their API key via environment variable. And sends it to the server (encrypted). <-- I have to enforce the game to run via itch.io client -only-, never on it's own.

2. Server makes call against itch.io with that key to get the Id, and to determine if player has purchased the game. And bind the itch.io id to the player game data (characters, etc). <-- this piece is huge for me as I have no wish to store the player's api_key anywhere as I view it to be a big security issue.

I cant use OAuth since players should -never- ever have access to the game server. Does the above make sense?

Due to never, ever, trusting the client, I cannot let the client perform the api call and send the itch.io id to the server as the server has no way to verify that id and if the player has purchased the game.

Hey! I’ve just posted a blog entry on itch.io about how I approach low poly so it doesn’t stop at 5-minute placeholders, but ends up as assets that can live comfortably inside bigger indie projects. Using my cemetery project Necropoly as an example, I talk about: 

• a 4-stage pipeline: from simple shapes, through an “optimal model”, shape stylization, up to surface details,

• the difference between “Tiny” low poly for mobile and more complex models for PC/console – and when it makes sense to stop earlier,

• how to pack a scene densely (atlas, simple materials, LOD) without murdering performance,

• why a stylized low poly look can age better than realism chasing “3D photography”.

If you’re playing with low poly or planning to, feel free to check it out:
👉 https://itch.freezing.top/blog/1127405/blog-implementing-low-poly-style-in-game-dev

I’d love to hear your own tricks for shape language, scene density and optimization in the comments – there’s always room to bend this style a bit more towards your own game.

Hey gang. I've been tinkering with a Ren'Py visual editor/IDE and thought I'd put it out there to see what people think. The features (see below) are complete enough to get started writing a VN with, but I consider this an alpha/almost-beta release since I'm still working on some features. 

It is available here:

https://github.com/bluemoonfoundry/vangard-renpy-ide.git

Note that since this is alpha software it's not yet packaged up with an installer. There are instructions on what you need to do to "install" it, but it does require a bit of effort. As I get to Version 1.0 release, currently planned for end of the year, I will start packaging it to be installable like any other application without additional technical know-how.

My goal is to get as many features into V1.0 as possible. I am especially interested in how people approach their visual novel "workflow" and what features would be useful to accelerate those workflows and make the process efficient and more enjoyable. The tool is intended to be useful to beginners and pros alike. 

I really hope people find this useful! Feel free to add Feature or Bug issues in the GitHub! Would appreciate any comments or thoughts.

Excerpt from the README file.

Hi, I'm a solo Unity developer working on a 3D atmospheric survival/horror project.  

I'm looking for someone to help me with:

• Animations  

• Sound design  

• Environment art  

• AI or gameplay scripting  

The project is indie and passion-based for now, but credits will be given + revenue share later.  

If you're interested, send me your work or portfolio.  

I played the original Shin Megami Tensei on the SNES, then some on the Playstation. Eversince, I really fell in love with the look and feel of the game. Therefore, I thought, I'd like to make the systems from SMT translated to RPG Maker, the engine I know best. Therefore, I introduce you to some cheap priced work I have done about Shin Megami Tensei.

You can follow the whole list from here.

The current list I have is:

• SMT Press Turn Battle System
• SMT Moon Phase System + Behavior
• SMT Demon Negotiation System
• SMT Demon Compendium
• SMT Monster Personality
• SMT Alignment and Karma System
• Persona: Social Links
• Persona: Cut In Style

I am planning on making more. Your suggestions are welcome.

I’ve just published a longer blog post on my itch.io profile about Dead Trash and a very specific kind of “realism” in games – the grimy, VHS / bodycam kind rather than clean PBR/UE5 gloss.
Blog link: https://itch.freezing.top/blog/1122565/dead-trash-a-bridge-between-amiga-photorealism-and-bodycam-realism

In short, I compare Dead Trash to old Polish Amiga “photo-games” (Alfabet Śmierci, Prawo Krwi, Sen) and to small bodycam experiments from itch.io – and I argue that realism often comes more from recognisable spaces and sounds than from raw tech.

At the end I ask whether modern bodycam horror (games like Bodycam, ILL and similar) is still “just a flat screen”, or already a kind of lobby to future VR lenses and brain chips.

Do you, in your own projects

• Do you deliberately use local, recognisable details (block architecture, stairwells, dumpsters, graffiti, specific sounds) to “fake” realism without going full photogrammetry?

• Do you have favourite examples of games (on or outside itch.io) that really nail this kind of dirty, culturally specific realism?

Character Races - This plugin allows you to create different race types for your characters and the enemies, together with different parameter and skill bonuses. This allows your game to have an advantage over which race is stronger, faster, etc. This system can be found in games like "The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion".

Advanced Enemy AI - In RPG Maker MZ, the default battle enemy AI is basic. You can see that the Action patterns are based only off of the Skill, Condition and Rating. In the conditions, you have Always, which turn, depends on the hp or mp of the enemy, state, party level and switch. While this is good, I find it really limited. Therefore, I decided to make an enemy AI that will change your gameplay's battle flow, by giving enemies thinking capabilities.

Strategic Healing - In RPG Maker MZ, healing spells such as Heal or Recover, the damage type is usually HP Recover with a formula, or you can also set it in the Effects (Type, Content). However, I feel that healing this way is definite, but basic. Just spam heal and you will let your other characters in the party get healed. This is way too boring. Thus, I introduce you "Strategic Healing".

Multi-Poison System - In RPG Maker MZ, Poison State only does one thing, which is to deplete HP. A Poison State usually has an Ex-Parameter of HP Regeneration -10%. This allows the state to deplete the affected target's HP until the state wears off. For me, this is boring. Therefore, I made a plugin that makes a system designed to let you make poison do more than what it always does.  

Class Presence Advantage - In the anime Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash, there's a very nifty mechanic there where classes, either in any from the party or in order are present in the party, they will have certain advantages over those who do not. This mechanic allows you to actually make use of sorting a party or selecting which classes you want in your party. For example, having a Red Mage in the party at least makes you immune to curse magic, but having a Cleric would have you automatically have an HP regen at the start of battle. These things can be setup by the developer to make use of party choosing really enjoyable than just choosing which party classes there are in game.

Hope this helps the developers who are looking for a more unique combat gameplay for their games.

For example:

Yesterday, I logged in 2 and a half hours of writing and scripting

Today I spent 2 hours working on making a background

How about you? How does your work log look like?

I’m a 3D environment artist – for 15 years I’ve been designing worlds in Unity and creating modular 3D asset packs. For most of my career I’ve been on the “environment” side of development: from the first blockouts, through level design iterations, to the final art pass and real-time optimization.

I don’t churn out generic “blocks” – I build hand-crafted locations with personality. I push low-poly beyond simple cubes, sculpting and refining shapes so they stay lightweight but feel almost like photogrammetry, catching light in interesting ways instead of looking like random boxes. I design both natural environments (forests, swamps, cliffs, fields, cemeteries) and urban ones (small towns, ports, industrial zones, retro cities) for devs who want worlds with a distinct vibe, not just filler geometry.

Here’s where you can see this in action: my ArtStation portfolio. I post cross-sections of worlds I build as personal/hobby projects – necropolises, swamp towns, retro sci-fi spaces and stylized settlements. I also handled full worldbuilding on Survival Machine (Steam): from blockout and choosing modules/props, through set dressing, mood and lighting, to gameplay-ready optimization. For me it’s a key reference case that shows how I work in real production, not just in a single “beauty render” scene.

Unity is my main engine – I know its quirks, workarounds and traps around modular environments. I target them with carefully chosen add-ons and my own AI-assisted tools that strip away dry technical work, kill repetitive clicking, and let me spend ~90% of my time on art… but that’s a story for another thread ;)

Godot, Unreal and Roblox are engines I want to explore deeper from a pipeline angle: how their prefab/Blueprint equivalents behave, how to handle LODs and collisions, and what asset formats devs actually expect. Long term I don’t want to just drop “raw models” there, but curated sets tailored to each runtime.

I’m publishing more and more stuff on itch.io, and instead of guessing based only on my own research, I’d rather ask developers directly what you actually use and what really helps you ship. I keep an eye on tags, trends and devlogs, but nothing beats talking to people who are knee-deep in their engine, juggling sprints and pushing builds.

Over the next quarter I’ll be posting only free packs here – from small “single shots” (test scenes, single biomes, mini locations) to trimmed slices of my bigger Unity Asset Store packs, reworked as self-contained modules, not scraps. The goal isn’t to dump full commercial sets, but to share ecosystem fragments you can actually build with, test your pipeline on, and see if this world-building approach fits your project.

So now’s a good time to drop your needs and gaps: solid sci-fi corridors on a modular grid, stylized fantasy villages, low-poly graveyards or swamps, or specific “utility” scenes for lighting and optimization. Treat this thread as an open line to an environment artist – ja bring experience and asset-market insight, you help steer priorities so what lands here serves real games, not just pretty screenshots. And yeah, comments under my devlogs are very welcome.

1. Which engines are you currently using?

Unity / Godot / Unreal / Roblox / other?

For which engine do you most often look for ready-made support?

1. modules for level art (walls, floors, ceilings, terrains, biomes),
2. models/props (filling the world, environmental storytelling),
3. lighting/post-process (test scenes, profiles, presets),
4. optimization (LODs, proxies, collisions, lightmap-ready meshes),
5. prototype scenes (ready “playable spaces” to immediately test gameplay)?

2. What kinds of projects do you work on most often?

More like:

• large, continuous worlds (RPG, exploration, survival, base-building, immersive sim), where biome consistency, sane modularity and performance on bigger maps really matter, or

• smaller productions: mobile games, arcade titles, roguelites, short levels/puzzles, where clarity, readable flow and fast iteration matter more?

You can also clarify whether your projects are mostly:

• singleplayer (more cinematic pacing, heavier focus on mood),

• co-op / multiplayer (more emphasis on readability and performance),

• jam/experimental (lots of prototypes, little time to polish assets).

All of this has a big impact on how you design modules, density of detail and performance budgets in practice.

3. Setting and visual style

What kinds of worlds do you most often place your games in: fantasy, sci-fi, post-apoc, cozy, horror, realistic contemporary settings (cities, suburbs, industrial), immersive sim, retro-futuristic vibes, or something very niche?

And what kind of visual style do you usually work in?

1. realistic (closer to photorealism, more focus on detail and materials),
2. stylized (strong shapes, simplified textures, more graphic look),
3. low-poly (deliberately simplified geometry + clear silhouettes),
4. retro-pixel / PSX (limited palettes, “noise” and aesthetics of older generations),a mix of those approaches?

4. Where does environment work “hurt” the most?

• time – scope gets slashed as sprints and deadlines take over, and environment slides to the bottom of the priority list

• lack of experience in level art/composition – it’s hard to find a good rhythm of space, readable paths and strong POIs without solid examples and a modular base;

• performance – polycount, LODs, draw calls, lightmaps; it’s easy to overshoot detail and then fight frame-drops;

• lighting / post-process – everything is “kind of okay”, but the mood just doesn’t land, or the scene looks good from exactly one angle,

• motivation drop – the original vision was ambitious, but lack of time/tools/assets turns the world into a simplified version of the idea.

If you have your own classic environment “pain points”, like “I always get stuck on X when doing environments”, please add them. That’s 

5. What kind of 3D assets do you want to see on itch.io?

Do you prefer engine-specific packs:

1. ready prefabs / Blueprints,
2. test scenes with correct pivots, collisions and LODs,
3. post-process profiles / lighting setups,

or more engine-agnostic packs:

4. FBX + textures + a few variants,
5. neutral materials for further tweaking,
6. sets built with a “engine-agnostic” mindset you then plug into your pipeline yourself?

Are you more into modular building blocks for your own worlds (walls, corners, junctions, biomes, terrains), or ready scenes/biomes you can tear apart and adapt to your project while preserving their rhythm and composition?

If this forum section allows polls, I’ll add a simple one for: engine / game scale / setting.
If not, you can answer in a quick format like:

Engine: Unity / Godot / Unreal / Roblox / other
Scale: large, continuous world / smaller game / arcade
Setting + style: e.g. “low-poly fantasy”, “retro sci-fi”, “dark post-apoc”
Main pain point: time / experience / performance / motivation / other
Asset type: engine-specific packs / universal packs / mix

Based on your answers I want to better steer future environment packs on itch.io so they actually support production and your daily workflow – not just look nice in a thumbnail. Thanks in advance for any concrete replies, from detailed breakdowns to short, to-the-point answers.

I'm new to this forum, so apologies if this is not the right place for this question.  I'm trying to develop rhythm-based mechanics in Unreal Engine 5 using the Quartz scheduling system and I am looking for guidance on how to sync player actions and input to music using this system.  So far, I've done a lot of research and have been able to create and set a Quartz clock and sync in-game events to the beat of music, but I'm not sure how to handle anything that involves player action.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

Hey fellow developers and players,


My name is Cristi. I am part of the 16 BIT NIGHTS indie game dev studio, and I come here again with a new case study/marketing blog to help other indie devs. I also do this for free, so any support is appreciated.

I have seen lately an increase in PR agents in the game dev industry, and I see nobody brings any new information to the table, ofc most of what is said is good, but it's the same old information but presented from a different perspective.

So, for those of you who create games but have little to no marketing funds, I created this list with top content creators' friendly Discord communities for indie devs.

FAIR WARNING
Before using this list, please consider this:

1. Do NOT join to spam, aka "hit & run"! If you do this, you will most likely be ignored and probably banned. Try to get involved in the communities in a genuine way.
2. Do NOT send spam private messages with your game to the content creators! You can very fast end up blacklisted, and it's not cool to spam the people who help this industry.
If you want to send them your press kit, use the official ways; most of them have a public email on their channel for this purpose.
3. If you join other content creators' discords beyond this list, be careful; some of their communities are not so friendly towards indie devs and perceive everything as spam. I can give a few examples, but I prefer to keep this post on a positive side.
4. Keep it safe for work. Use common sense.
5. Posting in these communities will NOT guarantee that someone will make a video of your game, but it will surely bring some extra exposure.

Overall, what I try to say is: don't be a spammer; there is a thin line between spam and presenting your game.
This is a good way to get more eyes upon your creation. Just don't abuse it.

Let's begin!

1. Splattercat
This guy is not only one of the best content creators on indie games, but his community is very friendly with game devs as long as you are not a mindless spammer.

Regards,
Cristi P. - 16 BIT NIGHTS

Hello, itch.io community! I am working on a game called My Cute Woolly Bear - an animal care/dress up game where the pet you take care of is a Woolly Bear Caterpillar. As I work on the dress up segment, I want to gather some feedback as to how to approach the care segment of the game. The video referenced below is how I want the controls of the game to go - you click on an item and then drag it to the Woolly Bear to care for it. Problem is, I'm a complete noob when it comes to Godot and I need to how to I can program a game like this.

I have an idea for an mmorpg game. However, i lack the skills and knowledge to make it happen (I only know web design and basic C). It is about an anime style openworld mmorpg with various race as playable characters. 

1.)There's no levelling system. Characters can only raise their own stats or proficiency by experience gained through various activities (combat, training, eating, reading, solving puzzles, ect..)

2.)Characters gain traits and skills depending on their gameplay as well as qualification to evolve by meeting specific requirements. (Skills and Race have ranks and such.)

3.)There are also lots of combat, support, and lifestyle Classes as well as Titles like Noble Ranks, Kings, Etc.. 

So far, I only have drafts of my idea. I just want to share because i want to know if its something possible to do or not?

My background in coding is very small, but I know a bit of python and HTML, and have done a JavaScript class before, but I've never made a game before and I want to. 

P.S. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, I just got here. 

I've kept things fairly top level here, as don't want this to become an essay. Marketing for games is a complex beast that covers many platforms and disciplines - each with their own dedicated jobs in AAA games - and the below is very much just the broad strokes. There's plenty more that could be said for each one of the points below, so please give me a shout if anything can be clarified further. 

---

PRE-LAUNCH

CREATE YOUR BRAND ASSETS

Your brand assets are everything a consumer/player will see about your game before they actually get their hands on it. They will make their mind up about your game exclusively from these assets. These assets need to accurately represent your game, and distil what it's all about with as much impact as possible (this is the world of my day job, by the way, there's a lot of work that happens here). You'll want to work on these alongside the development of the game itself - the earlier the better. The list below could  be plenty longer, but at the bare minimum you'll want to create:

• Trailer
• Language/Descriptions - you'll need language at varying lengths for various places, but create a razor (or 'X' Statement), short (one sentence) and long description (one paragraph) for your game in addition to bulleted feature list. 
• Key Art - traditionally box-art, this will likely be your main store/capsule imagery. 
• Screenshots - 6 minimum. Try to show the breadth of your games features, and diversity of environments/characters/etc
• A great .gif!

This ultimately will be what populates your store pages.

How to get your game across in five seconds (Amazing talk on the importance of GIFs and how to make 'em. Thomas Reisenegger is the king of this)
Creating a GIF for your game 

BUILD YOUR CHANNELS 

Again, apologies if this is bleedingly obvious, but ensure your studio* has the following channels all set up and good to go in preparation for the announce/release of your game: 

 *studio over game, if possible - this will ensure future games build off the hard work of your channel building and can be re-used for the next project!

• Twitter - don't exclusively promote yourself; follow and interact with other studios and developers. Use the #screenshotsaturday, #indiedevhour, #indiedev and #gamedev hashtags to share your content where appropriate, and ensure others can find it and signal boost. Batch and schedule tweets weekly if you find the regularity tough. 
• FB - slowly moving away from relevancy for game marketing, but good to create an initial grass roots community of your closer friends/family. Blanket invite your entire friends list to the page. 
• Instagram - good for sharing in progress screens and videos. Thriving little IndieDev community here. Again, follow the #gamedev #indiedev etc hashtags, interact with similar content, and you'll slowly build a reciprocated following. 
• YouTube - I'm a solo-dev so don't have time/resource to really take advantage of this channel. Other than trailers, though, BTS Studio Updates, Dev Let's Plays and VLOGs can all help boost the channel.  
• Tumblr - I've yet to find much luck here, but have an account I post to regardless. Would be interested to hear others experiences here.
• Discord - I won't claim to be an expert here, am am still learning myself, but I've included a guide to getting the most out of Discord below. 
• LinkedIn - yawn. Can't hurt depending on how seriously you're taking things, though. I've been tinkering with this recently. 
• Mailing List - arguably the most important of the bunch. Direct marketing at its finest. Give an incentive for people to sign up (discount/eBook/demo etc), don't spam, keep consistent and regular updates. Watch your open-rates closely, and tweak your content (or when you send your content) based on what works and what doesn't. If your list snowballs and you're a studio with several games/products, use list segments wisely so you're not sending irrelevant content.

LAUNCH

• Write a press release -  this doesn't cost a penny and there's no reason not to do it (I'd actually recommend doing it before you write a line of code; it will help clarify your vision and envisage the end-product and proposition). If you can't condense your game into a press release, you'll struggle to sell it. Be sure to find an angle. It's often the story that is picked up on here, not a description of your game; find your hook (you developed the game in hospital, your game was made during a game jam on a  boat, your game is the first to bring together genre[x] and genre[y] etc etc) 
• Send your press release - most news editors have their email addresses on contact pages / twitter pages. Find them in advance. Build a list. Find writers interested in your genre/platform. Personalise the intro - don't blanket mail your entire list. Also sign up to GamesPress and submit to that - which will then be syndicated across gamasutra etc. 
• Create a press kit, and link to it in press release - also ensure it's available on your website. Use presskit()
• Post on all your own channels (listed above), in addition to the below: 
• Imugr  - Imugr can have *amazing* virality with a little luck. Post your best screens/gifs, with the right tagging, and it could find the right crowd. 
• IndieDB - set up studio/game pages; post your release news here
• Reddit - be sure to have an active account that regularly interacts with other content, then share your own news to the relevant channels (r/indiedev, r/gamedev r/adventuregames etc)
• Steam post - assuming your game is on Steam, ensure to post your Out Now blog/copy here. 
• itch.io- obviously :) Write an Out Now dev log, opt into the press program, use this forum, and respond to content creators looking for games that might fit what you've worked on
• Genre-specific publications - for example, if your game is an Adventure game, post to AdventureGamers.com, or if it's an audio game, post to audiogames.net. You'll need to do a bit of research for this one. 
• Do a giveaway! Gleam is *fantastic* for this, and will help boost your channels in the process. It needs $$$ to unlock more functionality, but is perfectly fine at a free level.

I by no means consider the above exhaustive and plan to update soon; please do send me other articles/guides you think would be a good fit here, and I will update this post with additional insight anybody may find useful. 

If you have more specific questions or want to chat, hit me up on Discord. I also blast out similar articles and guides to my mailing list and Patreon page. 

Thanks!

I'm still waiting for my friend to finish drawing the textures, but soon the Alpha 0.1.0 version will come out.

The first Alpha version will be available here, and soon i'm gonna make the game's website.

1. 1 week on 1 week off.

For quite a while I thought always being on and working 1-3 hours a day every day would result in me making better games. Turns out it burns me out and also leads me to making games that were similar and almost uninspired.

Right now I am doing  1 week making games, 1 week relaxing and learning game related skills. So far I feel like it's giving me room to breathe and orient myself to what I want to do instead of always trying to be productive with not much thought for the future.

2. Reviewing popular games on itch.io (including genres you don't like necessarily) Noting  why you think people might like them, also noting what you like and don't like about certain games, and how you'd improve them. 

I feel like it helps me get new ideas and help me see what is currently being made. For the first couple years of dev I really liked rogue-likes and that's pretty much all I made.

3. Doing game jams and rating / reviewing other peoples jam submissions.

I feel like doing game jams often makes me have to make something presentable within a short amount of time. Also makes me not default to making a variation of a game that I've done several times. 

Reviewing other jam submissions I feel helps me see how other devs have thought about how they took the theme. Also hoping I can make some solid game dev friends that we can bounce ideas with or pass builds between one another.

I’m a composer creating cinematic, atmospheric and emotional music for games, films and other visual projects.
My focus is on soundtracks that enhance emotion, atmosphere and storytelling — from calm, emotional moments to epic, heroic themes.

🎧 You can listen to my work here:
👉 https://www.youtube.com/@NOBODY-nt1es

I’m open to collaborate with indie developers, solo creators, or small teams who are looking for original music for their game.
Whether it’s a short trailer, background music or a full soundtrack, I’d love to contribute to your world.

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me here or email me at:

Ever felt like game development is a bit... chaotic? Like you’re juggling a million documents, spreadsheets, and to-do lists, and you just wish everything could be in one happy, organized place?

Well, we’ve been feeling that too. And that’s why we built IMS Creators. It's cozy, all-in-one hub designed to take your game from that first spark of an idea all the way to launch, together.

Here you can:

• Define your games world and rules: write game design document, plan your dialogues, levels and build a living document that actually grows with your project
• Hug your team tighter (figuratively, of course!). Plan your work on cute, customizable boards, see everyone’s progress at a glance, and make sure nobody gets lost on the way to launch day
• Make your game engine smile! Tune your game's balance and then zap it directly to Unity, Unreal, or Godot with a click. No more messy spreadsheets or manual copying. We pinky promise

And one more thing: it's free for indie devs! 

Please check it and write your feedback: imsc.space

I noticed there is a way to use Python in Godot? 

Sounds like a kind of "bolt on"? 

How solid is that?

Ciao a tutti,

volevo condividere alcune riflessioni sullo sviluppo di un progetto personale: la creazione di un Mahjong Online Gratis utilizzando HTML5 e JavaScript. L’idea è nata dal desiderio di portare un gioco classico in una forma accessibile a chiunque, senza bisogno di installazioni o registrazioni.

Durante il processo mi sono trovato di fronte a diverse sfide:

• Gestione delle tessere: organizzare le combinazioni e i layout in modo dinamico non è banale, soprattutto quando si vogliono creare vari schemi personalizzati.

• Logica del gioco: implementare la regola dei collegamenti (linee che si piegano massimo due volte) richiede un algoritmo efficiente, capace di reagire velocemente anche su dispositivi meno potenti.

• Ottimizzazione grafica: con HTML5 Canvas e CSS3 è possibile ottenere animazioni fluide, ma serve attenzione alla compatibilità con diversi browser.

• Accessibilità: l’obiettivo di un titolo “gratis e online” è raggiungere il maggior numero di persone, quindi il design responsivo è fondamentale.

Per ora il progetto è in fase prototipale, ma sto pensando di aggiungere modalità di punteggio e livelli progressivi. Mi piacerebbe sapere se altri sviluppatori hanno provato a realizzare giochi simili e quali strumenti o librerie hanno trovato più utili.

Ogni consiglio o feedback è ben accetto!

I want to convert my python game (---.py) into a HTML5 game (---.html). 

But I don't know how to do that. I tried to get help from AI, but don't want to use AI for developing games rather it gave me a code that I didn't like. I got an idea 'pygbag'. But the problem is I don't know how to use this. Please answer me.

Note: I have already uploaded the python game on itch.io; I have the python file/scrypt also.  Click here to see my python game

do not use nintendos sdk for the love of god. its 1 not even better than homebrew. and 2 nintendo does crack down on things using proprietary tool chains.

do not reuse models form nintendo games as they will see it in the same light as above. the entire point of using a homebrew sdk is to avoid legal issues and this defeats the purpose.

dont use any leaked documentation as i wont even apply.

the above is due to the nature of this console being in a place where we have gotten to a state where its not reqired to use anything proprietary much like generations before this console.

if you want to use a premade engine some exist.

if your expecting to have to lean mips assembly you do not.

if you are expedcting your games to run in any n64 emulator you will not.

So if you are not intiminated yet heres the things really needed.

for a dev kit you would install libdragon. unlike nintendos this is actually perfered. it supports c cpp rust and i think someone ported go.

c works the best. rust is incomplete but is planned to be maintained in the official repo when complete. cpp usually goes untested and 3rd party microcodes like tiny3d tend to not work. go never tried.

for music you have options, libdragon suports .xm files. it also suports streamed using .mp3 and .wav.

for games intended dor flashcarts you are not limited to the native rom size as sd io is present.

for graphics it supports cpu and rsp rendering and has a opengl 1.1 comlient implimentation.

it is not entirely wise though to use that as tiny3d will allow you to use the hardware's full feature set using blender to make gltf with fast64 to add the n64 specific things.

for people wanting animatons you are in luck as unlike nintendos sdk this one knows about the "non features" sgi talked about. it has mips 3 complient avi hardware acelleration.  in short a dedicated programmer could remake resident evil 1 with no comprimises if they wanted to.

the caviots would be this.

the sdk often dips into the expansion ram.

hardware acceleration works best in the preview branch.

skined models dont support bone weights. they only use vertex groups. the exporter will pick and chose the group thats effected the most wehn exporting. no floating limbs nessacery.

this is an early console so yes its runs circles around a snes and technically is i a tiny faster than ps1 but have realistic expectations.

for emulation there are 2 ones that i can recommend

ares - the same devs that make lib dragon make this so this one is guarrentied to work

gopher64 - this one aims to be the successor to simple64 by the same dev and tries to maintain libdragon support. it can sometimes break but usually works.

to get started mpt blender 4.1 fast64 and wsl or real linux would be a must. other things are flexable so if you have a preference between bandlab or flstudio i dont think that part matter. same with kirita / gimp / adobe / ect.

for engines i think the most complete is hlfg. its an acrynym for happy little frog game. collision is shotty but for small games i would recommend studying the quirks and working within them.

also keep in mind you are stuck compileing your code in a gcc cross compiler for now. i doubt other compilers will be added.

I made a swatch tool for Unity to help me create changeable themes for my game (more of a platform, really). 

 https://darn-ok.itch.io/swatch-unity-tool

I often got stuck on what color a sprite should have for it to look good (it didn't look good). Now I don't have that problem.
I use my swatches and get colors from an image that someone who knows their colors has created.

I'm a programmer by heart, not an artist, but when I limit myself, I find the art creation process much easier, for example, now I'm making pawns in resolution 8x8, in grayscale: tone white and light gray. And I'm proud of my work (almost as much as of this tool).

My recommendation: LIMIT YOURSELF AND YOU'LL BE MORE CREATIVE, and try out my tool ; )
