Snake in the Dark is a part of the Animal Fest on Steam :-)

If you haven't played the demo yet - this is your reminder!

Less than a year later - here we go! @steampowered.com announces its new hardware.

#indiedev, if you're ignoring controller support in your game, it's time to re-think. Steam is now a home console.

Holy hell!

A side-by-side comparison showing an art style transformation for a game called "Snake in the Dark." The left image features a smooth, illustrated style with a rounded font for the title, showing a cute snake in an arched doorway looking at a glowing cube. A large red arrow points to the right image, which shows the same scene recreated in a pixel art style, with a pixelated font for the title and the snake now looking at a small, white mouse.

Just a small update to my game's logo and capsule images (giving them more breathing room, replacing old cube with a mouse that's in the game now) resulted in significant uptick in my daily wishlist gain.

I was putting it off since a year. Let that be a lesson to all you

Thanks for doing this yet again!

Very fortunate timing, our game was just announced.

Blunt Blade and a Hundred Halls is a cozy, wholesome first-person slasher roguelite adventure game where a boy meets a friendly devil who lives in his basement walls and decides to feed him with his all-time favorite food: freshly sourced dungeon freak meat (yum!).

Next Fest ended last week ;-) But here's our newly announced game:

Holy hell. This is amazing!

Beautiful and very nostalgic!

Dude. That Steam Page goes HARD. <3

And done :-)

I mean just show them in the scale you intend them to appear in the game - nevermind there's no game yet. :-) It's really hard to figure out what am I looking at when the pixels take up half of the screen.

Just launched a demo, and our Early Access release is in late November!

Very hard to follow the animation and imagine the finished character at this scale. Maybe export them in in-game resolution, to give the viewer a better grasp of how it will look like in the game itself?

I feel for you!
I did all the pixelart in my game, and then made some drawings of the main characters in pencil (granted - I used a popular cartoon for some reference), traced them into pixel art, made two distinct variations... and I get a lot of comments that "my art looks AI". Screw this noise :(

So stylish!

Wishlisted in a heartbeat!

The Grid.
A digital frontier.
I tried to picture clusters of information as they traveled through the computer.
Ships, motorcycles.
With the circuits like freeways.
I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see.

And then, one day...

I got in.

I'm anticipating the release of a Steam home console for some time now. It would make perfect sense.

Oh, in that case I applaud you even more. Custom-made always has an edge over store-bought assets, when it comes to imbuing a game with a "soul" of its own :)

I can clearly see all the passion and hard work that's been put into the new visuals, but Ireally LOVE the old-school aesthetics you've started with :)

so cool! I love the sword swinging mechanics (if I read it correctly) that makes you think about the direction of movement to gain an attack opportunity. Never seen anything like it!

It's all fun and games until... your UI... develops... an eye?

It is, it has been, IMO, and I don't see that changing, sadly. But at the very least cozy/wholesome games have their own niche and audience.

The way I see it, it's a step towards reducint the wishlist value inflation, that's been a real plague for the last year or two.

This really co-incides with the introduction of the new feature. My guess is this will make gaining and maintaining a wishlist even harder for games without a significant buzz off Steam. But in the end it will also mean the treshold you need to get to to have a good shot will be lower in general.

This might have to do with Steam's new UI.
A button linking to user's personal wishlist page is now prominently featured next to the main search bar. A lot of people are being reminded their wishlists are bloated and head in to do some housekeeping, removing the games they don't instantly recognize.

Hello Wally. You're a nice clump of pixels, lots of character for such a lil guy.
