Hey, I'm sean, I've been working on a horror/rogue like for half a year now. My first game was a fun platformer. I like pixel art, saxophones, and chess. If you are a single hawt female, dm me.

Hello Everybody!

I feel like this is a question that probably gets asked a lot, and if there's a specific thread or subforum I've missed for it then I apologise. Also please forgive any mistakes in my writing, as English is not my mother tongue.

I recently suffered a bad accident and I decided it would be a good idea to mix The Time Machine and Zardoz with my painkillers. Now I want to use my free time to do something I've wanted to do for several years, try to design an online indie game. I would like to create a role-playing, management, and stragegy game set in a post-apocalyptic future, where homo sapiens has largely lost his sapience. Most of humanity is dead, most of the remainder has regressed into vicious yet savages, a small minority have scattered into loose collections of docile yet dull-witted primitives, and an even smaller minority have somehow retained both the strength and intellegents of their ancestors. You (of course) belong to the last group.

The game is going to be divided into several phases. The first part involves taking power of your community through any of several methods. Second part involves building up your society, expanding your power over a larger geographic region, interacting with and probably absorbing many other communities which are run by exceptional people such as yourself. When your army and empire become strong enough, you'll eventually seek to eliminate the threat posed by the savage hordes. Beware though, as even these are not without an guiding force of their own!

To explain simply what I want to do: if you ever played retro-90's games like Microprose' Darklands or KOEI's Celtic Tales, the first part will probably be a lot like that. Second part might have more in common with Microprose' Civilization or KOEI's Ghenghis Khan, though still keeping much of the initial RP elements. Jaja, I played a lot of these older games when I was a kid because I was poor and that was all that worked on an old computer. :)

I can say more if anyone is interested, but I think this is a good basic outline. To begin, what game engine should I use to make this? Unity would be the obvious choice, but it doesn't seem to get along very well with Linux. So maybe Godot would be a better alternative?

Hi, I'm Silver of Froggo. I've been here for a year or even longer, but I never knew this site had a forum...so hello, Im...trying to make games in RPG Maker. Because I've never ever released something aside from a little cutscene for a contest. But I'm working on something right now. It's pretty small project, so I hope I can finish it :/ "

lol

I'm a programmer and aspiring game developer.  Only trouble is I have no idea how to begin developing games.  I want to make gay bara games.  Any advice will be warmly appreciated.

Hi

Hi, I'm Sam, I love cookies, the most important is said.
Ha no I forgot, I created a Pokémon fan game named "Pokémon MMO 3D"  https://samdreamsmaker.itch.io/pokmon-mmo-3d
I'm a game dev, I used Unity few years ago, but now I prefer Unreal Engine.
Often busy because I like to work on projects. I like to make people happy that's why I work so much too.
If you play my game I hope you will enjoy it.
Have a nice day, thanks for readed my description. :)

The name's Yltas and I love RPGs so I decided to make one called Lord's Reincarnation III, it is the first part of a Trilogy.  I can promise fun characters, gameplay that make you feel powerful and a very interesting story.

Hello! I am a little snail and use RPG Maker since 2k. I'm German and love the small maker community in my country :)

I only develop as a hobby and don't always have enough time for it. 

..and yes i'm a snail and very slow.. 

i prefer to map, its the best thing in game development :)

I work in retail. I'm 34 (Snail Years)

Hello, I'm HyruleJedi. I'm still in the process of learning a language, but in the few times I have coded, I found it really fun! If I ever make a game that isn't just python turtle in a highschool computer science class, i'll begin by posting it on itch

Hello!

I'm nearlyjames, I work full-time as a software developer and I'm learning how to make games with Godot, loving it so far. 

Nice to meet you all!

Hello, hello!  I'm David and I'm a native of New Orleans, LA.  I've moved to Connecticut and have been living here for almost 14 years.  I'm a new father and my baby boy is 20 months old.  My boy Henri is a blessing to me.  I can't wait until he's old enough to game with his mom and dad!  That will be amazing!  I've also studied since the age of 3, at art of magic and illusion.  That interest in that field of study has always been constant for me and I've been wondering as of late if "the magic bug" will bite my son too or if he'll simply tell me later in life, "Please put the cards away dad, you're going to embarrass me in front of my friends!"  :D  Either way, all good.  Time will tell as it always does.  

My screen name is a play on words.  Back in the 80s instead of "Shumps" we said "Shooters".  I love saying Shump and will continue to!  Shout out to the ShumpJunkie!  His channel is amazing and re-fueled my love and passion I once had for this type of game!  In New Orleans around that time too, I remember saying/asking, "Sup Homie?" to my friends and/or people I wanted to hit up in conversation.  So I combined those two things together to make my screen name.  

Even though I'm a hardcore fan of that particular genre, it was Pig Farmer's/Puppet Combo's and Kitty HorrorShow's work that I viewed on YouTube via John Wolfe's channel that brought me here today!  What a great time to join too!  I spent a little over 30 bucks, taking advantage of the Summer Sale getting a Puppet Combo Bundle, then also contributing funds to the amazing project and cause:    Worthy of Better, Stronger Together for Reproductive Rights; getting a HUGE savings on an utterly OBSCENE amount of games/apps/fiction and even some TTRPG goodness!  

I had to nab Anatomy by Kitty HorrorShow also!  I've had to have watched John Wolfe's playthrough of it 4-5 times!  Played it for the first time today and it won't be the last!  I'm an aspiring artist/writer/creator myself and the writing in that game, to me, is utterly amazing!  The audio comparisons and analogies of the different parts that make up a house to parts of the human body...  Bravo!  Very, very innovative!  Psychological Horror of the highest order!  Proud to own it now!   

Furthermore, this community and platform is amazing!  I've had time today to explore this platform and I hope one day to contribute some creation of mine to this platform.  Even if that doesn't happen though, the fact that I could interact with other fans of the work and indie developers/designers is fantastic!  This platform hosts some truly amazing work, from the ridiculously fun to the thought provoking and highly experimental type of game/app/fiction/etc...!  This is my first day here, but I can't believe how many hours have gone by exploring this place!  I definitely feel at home here.  I look forward to discovering new talent and future conversations with great people!  Take care guys!  

Hey guys. Been here about 3 or 4 months. Been making soundtracks for 3 years and games for about a year or so. I focus on immersive dark fantasy type environments and themes. I've got a new blizzard survival game coming out soon! All our products are Pay what you want so if you are looking for a cheap or a free decent quality game check out our page! There's several games and soundtracks available. 

Donations most welcome of course but your enjoyment is even more welcome

Cheers 

Hi all. I am new to game development on itch.io. My first tool has been made. Let me know what you think so far if you want. Good luck to all and glad to be here.  Neme is Mojo

Im Aspen and i like making nonserious games meant for free entertainment and usually they have graphics youd see in a web game from 2012 (mainly since im shit at graphics), whenever i make a game i try and make something i havent done before and havent seen made alot before, i also like messing around with physics since thats always fun.

Hello Guys,

I'm Olivér Kovács, a Hungarian composer. I have been composing music since I was 14. I'm here because I would like to sell my music packs, and I'm searching for a game project to participate in. If you have an exciting video game project, feel free to contact me! :)

Here's my best tracks on SoundCloud:

Hey i'm Antz I am an independent game developer with 2 years of experience in Unreal Engine. I produce my own beats using garage band and I also enjoy using pixilart for artwork (I used pixilart for all my sprites in my game). My released game is " The Forbidden Web "                                  (Click here -> https://forbiddenweb.itch.io/the-forbidden-web if you want to try it) It is a 2D platformer game with all self made music and self made characters/ animations/ levels etc. I would say 2D animations has been the hardest part because of all the redesigning over 1 wrong pixel.

Hey I'm James I'm brand new to game dev I've never made anything before but I'm excited to give it a try. If anyone has any advice on 1st games I'd love to hear about it!

Who am I? I ask myself that a lot. A cat-owned reclusive author probably sums me up. Oh, and a game player. I started with an Atari 2600, then Atari 600XL, C64, Amiga 500, Amiga 1200, then a 486. Various PCs with Windows, now moved on to Linux (Mint Cinnamon) for my new PC. Though I still play C64, Amiga and Spectrum games. :-) I recently redid my website to focus just on my books: https://karldrinkwater.uk/

I'm best known for space opera - my Lost Solace books (long-awaited book three out this month!). Oh, and all my books are reduced to 0.99 this week only as my summer sale. https://books2read.com/ap/xr55B8/Karl-Drinkwater

One day I'd like to investigate game jams or ways to licence people to create stuff based on my Lost Solace books.

Hello everyone! 

I'm Giorgos, an aspiring game developer with almost 2 years of  Unity experience, and am somewhat of a 2D artist, mainly drawing pixel art. I've been on a road to finishing a single game project recently, but it's been a non-stop flood of ideas and too many implementations of them, which led to all of my projects being abandoned. 

A few months back, I started a fan project, which I was sure I could finish, and even decided to make a dev-vlog about it. It was a boss-battle platformer, based on the manga "Chainsaw Man", and after grueling months of set-up for the game (making the code, the assets, etc...), I was demotivated to the point where I decided to move on from it, finding it difficult to both program and make the assets for the game.

Right now, I'm recuperating from game dev, and potentially finding an art partner for future projects, in case either of us will need to motivate the other to finish our project(s)  :)

Hi, I'm Paul (Blackdisney315)Francis and i make Hip hop animated cartoons, games and apps. Been at it for a long time and I'm in love with what I do. I'm glad to be in this community of game makes and creatives and look forward to being inspired and motivated by your works. Lets have fun.

My name is Matt! I'm a gamer, game developer, and Kpop fan. I enjoy creating things and learning new skills. I've recently released my first game, which I've spent a little over a year making now, and I'm proud of how it's turned out! I definitely plan to keep making games in the future!

Hi, I'm a certified housecat. Not really though, but you know...? I don't know where I am getting at here. Anyways... nice to meet you, K thanks, bye!

My video game experience started with Space Wars and Pong. I got an Atari 2600 when it came out. I've casually played games on different consoles throughout my life. However, at the arcade, if there wasn't a Space Duel, I put my quarters into pinball and pool. My money went a lot further that way.

I learned a bit about programming teaching myself on my high school's TRS-80 Model IIIs. The staff had no idea what to do with them, so they let the few of us who were interested figure it out. My 1st home computer was a Sinclair ZX81. I did very little with the membrane keyboard. I moved up to an Atari 1200XL. I mostly programmed graphics and music. In college, I once sat in the library avoiding learning spreadsheets by writing a code breaking game in QBasic on a TRS-80 so I could sit there and play it. That's my only game so far.

I've been making many styles of art, craft, and music with various analog and digital devices most my life. I walked away from 2 computer graphics jobs in the 80's. I have a natural desire to create, but I was out of place among the business people who requested my services. So, I've been creating home décor, analog games, and gifts. My music has never been in demand. People would say my stuff sounds like video game music. I'm about to put that apparently natural ability to use. About a year ago, I started looking into making 2D video games.

About 5 years ago, I had a desire to put my dreams, which for me are eerie warnings of false realities in my waking state, into a 3D game. I got Blender's shortcuts down and learned things like parallax occlusion mapping in Unreal. I used Camel Audio's Alchemy to make unnerving new age music. Having spent most my life studying and working in the horror industry, the project was pretty frightening. I then had a revelation that frightening everyone wasn't going to fix anything. I got rid of my gaming rig I had acquired just for this purpose and got a laptop which I still use. I also got rid of my electric guitar and got a classical.

By the summer of 2020, my digital creativity was mostly with Arduino. Then, I watched V for Vendetta play out in real life. The Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality introduced me to itch.io. I was awed by the amount of mental exploration and discovery before me. I saw multiple pasts and paths. I found similarities and patterns. I found people who seemed to want to progress no matter what. The place felt unflappable. I experienced gaming in new ways and realized a lot about myself through the expressions of others. I am unable to give back monetarily at this point in my life, but I want to contribute through sharing. Through rigorous experimentation with games on itch, I've come to enjoy 2D pixel platform games the most. I've also come to appreciate the ease and unfolding complexity of Godot. My 2D platformer will always be free. I will enable the donation option, with 10% to itch, as I have been in debt with no income.

I'm having a good time being part of the many avenues of expression here. I appreciate all of you.

I'm Jawi, I've been messing with gamedev for about 6 years now and finally released my first game about a week ago.

I work with Unity, mainly 2d for now but i hope to make 3d games in the nearish future too.

I like lizards and cute horror stuff

Sample:  A recent composition for Project Star Head. Spacey, lonely feel with guitar, strings and synth often mentioned to be reminiscent to the Donkey Kong Country series. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GIvB8NI-csM

Hello all. I’m Kit.

I’ve been making small games for at least 4 years now. Only recently did I decide to start uploading my games on Itch. I have a catalog of 30+ games in various states of polish. I will most likely not be uploading all of them here, but the goal is to add as many as can be considered playable. My work covers a lot of genres and styles, both artistically and in gameplay.

All my work to date is in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. With very little use of any libraries or engines. This forces me to keep things simple and direct. You’ll find that most of my games only take a few minutes to understand and play. I tend to build in public over on Codepen. So you can find many of my games on there as well.

I’m open to chatting about my work and the processes involved.

Hopefully I can earn your follows, comments, rating, and more.

Keep it spicy out there.

Hey there, I'm Vinícius - a game programmer, designer, and translator from Brazil. I recently released both 'A Dolphin's Tale' and 'A Wolf's Tale', and I'm excited to connect with new people who share my passion for narrative-based games. As a fan of solo TTRPG experiences, I'm always on the lookout for new ways to create immersive gameplay. Feel free to check out my page to learn more about my work and stay up-to-date on my latest projects. 

Looking forward to connecting with you!

Hi everyone it's probably a little bit late to introduce myself since i've been on itch for about the last 5-6 months but here goes. My name is Daniel and i'm from Scotland my profile name is DannySmashChamp which i picked originally for yoyo games as irony as when smash bros brawl was first released i took part in a tournament playing as link and got absolutely destroyed in the first round by someone playing as zelda. I've been prototyping various ideas for games originally for gamemaker 7 (i currently use gamemaker 8, i have used studio but went back) since i was about 15 (I'm now 32) minus a few years when i did consider giving it up altogether but true passions never die. I've also studied HTML5 & CSS3 when i was at college. I have only released my noughts and crosses game (which i was quite happy with the results of so decided to publish it when i joined itch) and my passion project which is Zelda which i have learned soooo much from as i've been making it so decided to publish that as well even though it's still in the development stage (but improving all the time) so everyone who is interested can play it and hopefully see the results as it continually gets updated. Marketing for these games has been impossible for me to do as i actively ignore social media as i think it can be quite a toxic environment and for me it doesn't mix with (don't really want to get to personal here but various anxieties) and also the fact it is a zelda game i have seen so many comments throughout the years about Nintendo and the dreaded Cease and Desist action that could be taken gulp. Anyway i'm starting to ramble a bit so i'll finish here with a thanks for reading.

Hi !!!

Im Aspace2create I am a young software developer hoping to learn more about coding and get smart and stuff and just also network with other developers and or artists to help me with my apps and give me ideas with new ones!!!

Hi there! I am Nick. Not totally new in game development (when I was younger, was running my small game studio). I am a good manager, not bad storyteller, game designer. But I am very bad in coding and totally useless in the matter of creating art. So, I am trying utilize what I have to launch some new games. So, I am going to use simple solutions for getting maximum outcome (most of my art in games will be AI generated for sure).

Getting back to game development after very long break is much harder than doing it first time, but I still have best hopes.

If you are using Telegram and interested in AI generated content for games, check out my channel. I am posting AI stuff for games, cool gifs, my cat pictures and just different sorts of junk I find interesting.

 Or if you want discuss AI content\weather\my cat\game development - feel free to join small Telegram chat.

Cheers!

Hello everyone, my name is Pablo Roldan and I am a 49-year-old skater and filmmaker from Chile. I am here to share with you the exciting news about our small game development company, Metacapture, and our latest project, Dead Skate.

As a skater and filmmaker, I have always been fascinated by the world of skateboarding and its unique culture. When the pandemic hit, it inspired me to create a game that combined my two passions with a unique twist: zombies.

With the help of my team of five talented individuals, we have been working hard on Dead Skate, a thrilling and action-packed video game that combines skateboarding and zombies. We have launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the development of a playable demo with two levels, three enemies, and two customizable outfits.

As a new developer in the industry, we are excited to bring a fresh perspective to the gaming world and offer something unique and exciting to players. We believe that our passion and dedication to the project, combined with the support of the gaming community, will help us achieve our goal of bringing the joy of skateboarding to the world, even in the face of a zombie apocalypse.

We appreciate any support you can give us, whether it be through our Kickstarter campaign or simply spreading the word about our project. Thank you for your time and we look forward to sharing more about Dead Skate with you in the future.

Hey everyone! I'm a hobbyist gamedev who enjoys participating in game jams with my friends.

I'm very passionate about video games. I'm even working on an undergrad research project about game features!

Hopefully my research will advance our understanding of video games and offer insights that are useful to game dev!

Pls consider filling out this survey if you have time. It will only take a few minutes!

Link: https://hku.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6L2vEYnosWPX7JI

I'm struggling to find participants so completing the survey will help me out a lot. Thanks!

hello im koen i make indie horror games for fun

check out my games here: https://virtualplaystudios.itch.io

Hello, I am known in many circles as Gargrumel and of course, I love game development. My software of choice is Unreal Engine. 

Hoping to meet some interesting people here.

Hey all,

I'm Guy but normally go by Kimpo. I've been on here for a while but never really posted a heap. So thought I'd introduce myself and share what I do.

Been playing around with game development for a while now using game make and really enjoy it. I've made a couple of games, one is only on steam, a platformer which I'll add to Itch soon and the other I'm currently working on is a retro styled FPS. You can view the page here which I also have a demo, and it's definitely a good featured demo, just if you like the game style!

Otherwise I love game dev, also have a few assets on my page too.

Hope you enjoy what I've got and look forward to hearing from everyone!

Hi there,   found out  what a publisher does and I find that frankly quite interesting. 

To raise project financing, and develop sales strategies.  I used to work for  Blockbuster and at the ti me, i smashed all national store sales targets, within a small town setting in Shropshire UK. 

WhoKilledReno Games (pinxsters.com)

Currently I have this page. 

Basically, I see all you developers, eager to work on projects for the Sega Megadrive and around that 8/16 bit era, and I hear Sega  piss all over small projects and It's about time they met an unstoppable force. 

I'm currently negotiating a sizable deal with an adult company. 

I see Weed Factory Idle as being an asset to them, however. I want control of that game. 

I have unlocked all levels on the game, it's fun, addictive and free to play.

 However, there is a lot of bullshit advertising that comes with it.

They have been advertising an event and more levels for over a year now.

Green Panda Games have ignored my emails about the game more than 5 times.

I'm giving  them 24 hours,  and then Im going further up the ranks and  emailing UBISOFT, 

Basically, they are ignoring a potential sale of a game, no matter if i crowdfund my business operation 

or find a buyer. I have 4 potential buyers I could contact, of people who are going to take this mobile game and treat it with the respect it deserves. 

Hey all!!! Fred from Natasmai Studio and I just wanted to stop in and say Hello so...HELLO.

hi I'm zeal 😻 I make pixel art assets and I'm a learning video game developer, I love funny stuff so if you have any games with humours please suggest me

Here's my art asset btw : https://zealyy.itch.io/picovillage-tileset

Hey, my name is X(X-XX), and as -X-ScornGames im working on my first game.

  I started with 14 learning the unrealed(1.0) for  UT99 (Some will remember it  :D) since that time i finally made  my first good map and released it, i was in love with creating maps. After that I had quite a long break because of long time health problems i have(?) tourette syndrome (if aynone is not familiar with it and wants to know what this is all about: Tourette syndrome - Wikipedia)  

As I recovered I started working on various maps for various games (Steam Workshop) for quite some time.  And finally three months ago or so  I started my first own game with the title Run! [Rapid Unscheduled Necrosis] , btw "founding" my own label -X-ScornGames . Im also doing development streams on twitch as well as sped up versions of the streams on youtube !

 Still looking for people who want to join in, mostly modelers and scriptes (lua !!!:O), so if anyone is interested, feel free to get in touch with me :)

<3 @ all  :)

Hi. My name's Vasco, I'm 13 and I have a passion for making games, especially  3D Horror Games.

 I've been learning game development since the end of 2021. And in 2022 I started learning Unreal Engine. And by now, I have a Horror game called Death in Progress published here on Itch.io. 

I know I'm not even a bit famous, but  I want to thank everyone who played the game, you really don't know how much that means for me. Thanks for everyone who is subscribed on my Youtube channel and to whoever follows me on Instagram. We are a really really small community but I fell good with all of you :). 

I know this won't go viral like it's obvious, but if you are still reading this and you've made it here to end, that already means a lot to me. See you ;)

Hi all! I’m a libre game developer! I don’t really play too many games at all these days, but it’s always been my dream to make games – specifically, some kind of story/world-building heavy RPG or murder-mystery VN.

Happy to be here!!

Oh hm. I’ve been here for quite a while, but I never got to introduce myself properly before, so. Hey.

I’m Historia-KQ (You can just call me Tori). I’m 20, and I love drawing and playing video games. Fire Emblem is a very big special interest of mine, but I also enjoy other media (i.e. Saint Seiya and Bee and Puppycat). I also love making OCs and cute critters.

Currently, I’m developing a game titled Mimosa and the Clocktower, and it’s a metroidvania with nursery rhyme-themed characters and the ability to manipulate time (how many times did I say that now…?). I’ve been working on it since 2022, and you can learn more about it here. Right now, I’m actively seeking for advice, help, and feedback about developing this game, so feel free to offer me those.

Hi there, everybody. I'm SteveL1990, and I'm a longtime gaming enthusiast from the D/FW metro area in Texas, and I joined a few years ago but until recently mainly just browsed and occasionally bought a few times to try someday. Not only am I a gamer(my first console game was Super Mario 64, and one of the first PC games I ever played was SimCity 2000), but also, I decided to become a game developer, too, some time ago. 

I have yet to publish anything, but am trying to work on a few projects and I hope that, sometime soon, I may be able to start posting about them on a (somewhat) regular basis. Hopefully.

Hi, I'm Marty, aka offgridgecko or just offgrid. Working on a golf game. I have a page set up for it but waiting to get some more people from my social connections before I "launch" on itch to try and get it a warm welcome. Nice to meet you all though even though it seems this thread has gotten one response in 7 years.

EDIT, I see, nm, they all at the bottom, haha.

Call me dreams. I like bringing my art, writing, music, and code together in…weird little things that I hope will add up to a weird bigger thing eventually. Released my second Weird Little Thing, Of the Firebirds, yesterday. So far just make stuff in vanilla JS, but started to learn Unity a bit last year and will probably dig back into that when I start needing more functionality.

Hello, I am Alex X. I study Game Design at Academy of Arts in my country, and I started with developing games about 2 years ago. I love many genres which includes Horror, Puzzle, Narrative, Action, Adventure and Visual Novels/Text Adventures. 3 days ago I released a real life shot found footage horror game "The Tape", and I am also a creator of Dollhouse, a narrative puzzle horror game set in a house with mannequins which represent dysfunctional family members. Currently I am making a slow progress with a parkour cyber game I am making with my friend, while also balancing my student life, my hobbies which include anime, manga, cooking... with student life and occasional social life (but currently I don't have it haha). 

Hi, My name is JB.

I have been using Unity to make games during my days in University, while working as the director & lead developer of "Team GooCat", a dev. team that made Android game "Drop Cat Blaster!".
Prototype of DCB! on Itch.io
(The early access version of the game could be found on Google Playstore  but it seems like the game has been brought down from the shelf :(   Anyway the game we have launched on Playstore only supported Korean so... heh)

I like making games that would bring player great stories which led me to learn various things such as character design, animation, story making, alongside with my major, computer programming.
Now that I have graduated from University (Whoo-hoo!) like a month ago, I'm finding ways to start & keep up my personal game project with my own game engine, while trying to get a job in the game industry.

Nice to meet you all! XD
