The target audience for my game is people who laugh when they see the giraffe being so tall, it's neck goes off screen:

The Shield of the Trinity or Scutum Fidei, but it's videogame pricing: $5 is not $8 is no $10, but all of them ARE $7.99

Whenever I do this I hear the voice of the Dome Keeper devs in the back of my head telling me how it's important to keep your prototype playable through development :(
I still do it, but the voice of authority gnaws at me!

Happy New Year ✨

"Whispering Memories" VN is at the final phase of development. The pieces are falling into place, and the loop is almost broken.

Thanks for following this journey, for the patience, and for the support along the way.

The game releases on March 6th, 2026.

See you early next year!

A chicken stares up at a smaller bird in a tree, mocking him saying "haha! Ground bird! 'lost the ability to fly because of selective breeding'-ass bird!"

The chicken begins extending its neck towards the branch, the other bird exclaims "oh shit!"

The chicken, now at eye level with the smaller bird says "fuck you."

later the chicken sits on the edge of a cliff, his neck still incredibly long, and says to itself "the drive for revenge has fundamentally changed who I am into something I can no longer recognize as myself. There is no place for me now in my old life"

Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with.

1. Carimara

Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

I've had this forever and it sucks :( I own literally 0 AAA titles in my whole library and actively add them to the ignore list when steam shows them and it's still the same :(

Ah I just randomly replied to the original post just now without noticing this one. My game Twisted Grove is not on the list despite a submission, and I didn't get an email

Heyo, I submitted my game a while ago (weeks) but I don't see it on the list of registered games. It's called Twisted Grove.
Did I get something wrong in the submission?
