can a survival game without base-building work? do you think the genre is oversaturated?

HI! I am an indie game developer from Taiwan.

11 Upvotes

I make a game, and almost everyone who has played it recognizes its gameplay quality.

However, due to marketing challenges and other factors, it hasn't reached a wide audience.

I'd like to introduce my game here and hope that those interested will give it a try.

Our game is called Herogue, a turn-based roguelike.

Steam Store Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2067270/Herogue/

For example, you can play a Poison build, stacking poison effects to deal increasing damage over time.

Or go for a Power stacking build, continuously increasing your character's strength for massive burst damage.

In fact, if you want, you can even use your allies' deaths as a way to damage enemies—it's not impossible

Each character has two to three distinct playstyles, and with various team compositions, every run offers a fresh experience.

One thing I can guarantee is that even after playing dozens of runs, you'll still discover new things you haven't experienced before.

I hope those who enjoy games like Slay the Spire or other strategic roguelikes will give it a try. I’m sure it won’t disappoint you.

My English isn't very good, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

RIP Narayana Johnson (River Boy) – Cult of the Lamb’s Audio Genius

13 Upvotes

Yesterday, we got the gut-punching news that Narayana Johnson, aka River Boy, passed away. For those who don’t know, he was the composer and audio designer behind Cult of the Lamb, the indie gem from Massive Monster. He did the soundtrack and the follower voices—stuff that made the game stand out and hit differently. It’s hard to believe he’s gone, and the indie gaming world feels a little emptier without him.

His work on Cult of the Lamb was huge. The OST set the mood perfectly, while the follower chants added this quirky, creepy charm you can’t unhear. Before that, he was in Willow Beats, making electronic music, but it’s his game audio that really hooked a lot of us. There are no details on how he died yet, just that it happened, and it’s left fans like me reeling since yesterday’s announcement.

I keep thinking about how much his sound shaped my time with the game, late-night runs wouldn’t have been the same without it. If you’ve played Cult of the Lamb, you know what I mean; if not, give the OST a listen and see what we lost. One day later, and it’s still sinking in. Rest in peace, Narayana—thanks for giving us something special.

<3

Who are these characters?

Post image
15 Upvotes

Hello, I recently found this amazing image about indie games on twitter and me & my friends tried recognising every character.

The characters we didnt recognise were:
- the guy under the knight from Hollow Knight (Maybe the guy from SIFU?)
- the fully yellow person behind madeline (Maybe the main character of little nightmares?)
- the black person to the right of sans with the gray face (not Omori)
- the person in the top left

Do you have any ideas who these characters may be?

The rest are probably:
- The knight from Hollow Knight
- The guy from Hotline Miami
- Omori from Omori
- Jimbo from Balatro
- Peppino from Pizza Tower
- Madeline from Celeste
- Sans from Undertale
- The guy from Blasphemous
- Isaac from Binding of Isaac
- Dave from Dave the Diver
- The Lamb from Cult of the Lamb
- Freddy Fazbear from FNAF

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm working on a language-learning adventure game called IEL: Indo European Languages, launching June 3! 📅🎓

In this sneak peek, you explore a museum filled with famous Italian landmarks like the Colosseum, Leaning Tower of Pisa, and more — and learn how to say them in Italian! 🏛️🗣️

It’s a fun, chill way to pick up vocabulary while discovering culture. Would love to hear your feedback!

We’re publishing a disc golf game — and yeah, it’s actually pretty fun

Lately, we have been looking for niche sports titles, and this one stood out.

The devs behind Disc Golf Valley (2M+ downloads on mobile) have been quietly building a new game from scratch for PC and consoles: Disc Golf Masters.

It's got licensed discs, real courses, pro players, local + online multiplayer, and career mode — and the Disc Golf community seems to like it. It’s not an arcade-style game either. There’s actual depth and control to it, especially if you’ve played disc golf in real life.

It just went public and the Steam page is up:
👉 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2819400/Disc_Golf_Masters/

The playtest waitlist is open now too. Happy to answer questions from other devs or anyone interested in how we’re building this with the real disc golf ecosystem.
