I’d love to see what kind of a game dev community we have here on beehaw and help each other out. Whether you use Unreal, Unity, Godot or even your own engine, let’s see what you got!
I’m currently working on an action horror game inspired by Cry of Fear and similar mods.
But in the past I’ve worked on a fully kinematic parkour character control with wallrunning, grappling, dashing, mantling, etc. Character controllers are probably one of my favorite aspects to program. Something about the vector math and physics just feels good to solve.
Wow looks so eerie…I love it!
Im working on an metroidvania that works with flying mechanics. My goal is to take the hollow-knight platforming style of pogoing, and combining it with an elytra style mechanic to have large sections where youre off the ground.
My character is a little monstera plant, and I want to make as many little cute costumes for them as possible!

A couple of months ago I released my free and open-source game Tabletop Club, which is a physics sandbox inspired by Tabletop Simulator, and made with the Godot Engine!
It’s still early days for the project, but I’ve got a ton planned for the game, and I’m currently working on the first major update!
Here’s a link if anyone is interested: https://drwhut.itch.io/tabletop-club
This looks really awesome. I’m also working on a small project in godot (just a simple sokoban implementation) but this looks way more complex! Nice of you to make it open, makes it easy to learn and contribute.
Can I ask why you choose MIT over GPL for licensing? Just thinking about this because of an article that was recently posted here.
Thank you! The main reason it’s MIT is because I don’t really care if someone takes it and makes it closed source - this version will always be here for people to use and contribute to. Plus, it also opens up the possibility of me forking the project and making another game out of it that actually provides a sustainable revenue 😅
I kinda am… but I’m also a researcher so I’m not particularly making a game but rather trying to make a new game mechanic. I want to make pawns have complex decision logic to be able to choose multiple ways of doing something. I’m working on creating a hierarchical task network in Rust. I’ve been testing it in godot using the gdnative interface. Don’t really have much to show though and no recent progress… Ben busy with a newborn
Hey that’s fair, I can only imagine how much time a newborn would soak up. Game AI is facisnating to me so I’d love to hear more about your work. It reminds me a bit of GOAP a little bit.
Yes HTNs are a few computational levels higher than goap (HTNs can do everything that goap can). I think project fear AI used HTNs
Can’t wait to dig into how this works, thanks for the link above btw
Indie dev here. Went full-time on it with my brother several years back. Currently working on our 9th game – Cyber Knights: Flashpoint.
It’s a squad tactics heist RPG. XCOM-like combat, extensive stealth options, and a cyberpunk setting & stories inspired by over a decade of tabletop RPG campaigns we’ve played.
This is our first game made with Unity; it’s been a learning experience but feels very worth it.
This looks great! I’ll definitely be wishlisting this and keeping an eye on it. What’s been your favorite achievement with it so far?
Much appreciated! The visuals on this game are really a huge step up for us. It’s also our first 3D game, so a whole new pipeline for all of that.
I love your guys games and I love XCOM! Wishlisted and will be picking this up ASAP. Keep up the amazing work!
Game looks fantastic. Added it to my wishlist. Love seeing that you guys are on Steam. I played a ton of Star Traders and Templar Battleforce back in the day.
My friends and I have been working on a cozy 3D platformer called Live at Strummer’s Pond! It’s physics driven and fully multiplayer online. It’s easily the most difficult thing I’ve ever programmed. We’ve been working on it for a year, and we’re super proud of it.
We just recently got our Steam page up and running!
This is super cute! Multiplayer is hard as hell, so respect!
My friend and I recently released this short, sad unity game. Now I’m in-between projects and just making little prototypes for fun. This one’s an Earthbound-style RPG menu.

Todays has been working on an epilogue to a boss fight! Quiet can be hard to get right.I’m working on a multiplayer text-based rpg framework for web, PC, mac ans Android. It’s made will Godot Engine ans it ils a créé software.
I’ve been actively developing Cartel Empire for about a year and a half now. It started off as a bit of a side project whilst I worked a boring IT job but has just kept growing which is amazing.
It’s all hosted on Azure and written in JavaScript using Express for the backend and pug templates for the front-end.
I’m on mobile just now but if anybody is curious or has questions I’ll be back later and am more than happy to answer anything.
I’ve been working on a zeldalike in python off/on for the past while now. Nowhere near done but I’m mostly doing it for fun/hobby. I’m no artist so solo gamedev is kinda hard (ended up drawing all the sprites myself which is why it looks like programmer art lol).

thanks. I’m making good progress on it. I’ve got quite a few of the items done, basic map graphics are done. etc. I even have a minimap system that fills out as you explore it’s pretty cool :) I struggle pretty hard with the art though haha.

I code damn near everything in python so it was naturally my language of choice (looking back I should’ve just used unity lol). I’m using pygame for it which basically works similar to older game/graphics libraries. so everything is coded from the ground up.
deleted by creator
I don’t think it’s possible to run a pygame game on consoles though is the thing. so you’d end up having to recode the whole thing if you wanted to do that.

I’m actually just about to start showing off a 4X concept game I’ve been working on for a few years. Finding partner devs ahead of publisher pitching is the priority. Here’s a sneak peak from a minimal explainer demo:
I like Touhou very much, so I am working on a Touhou-ish danmaku (bullet hell) game. It is still in early development, though.
Here’s the today’s screenshot: (https://imgur.com/a/9Th50Zw)
It uses pixel graphics, the CPU draws on a pixel canvas, which is eventually rendered onto a framebuffer. I chose this rather childish approach in order to prototype first, and accelerate later.
The main difference from Touhou Project or its spinoffs will be that the stage will actually be scrollable with ‘nests’ that spawn enemies shooting at you.
The game is written in Rust, uses Vulkan to display the canvas, and licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later license so that it will always be a share-alike project.
Looks cool! By scrollable, do you mean that the player can move the stage camera at their own pace and enemies will spawn at certain spots, or is it similar to Touhou but just different in how the underlying spawning system will work (as opposed to timer based which I assume Touhou is)?
If, in Touhou series, the scene is limited to the viewport, in my game I experiment with a larger field. Some ‘fairy-level’ enemies may reside in nests, some may move around. But I’ve just finished the very basic graphical level today and a satisfying smooth scrolling in a large field. Now, I can focus more on a gameplay, add enemies, bullet mechanics and see what is the most enjoyable way to play. It may even have several game modes, including the classical ‘Touhou’ experience…
I’ve understood I need a dev blog so badly. :)
If it means anything, I’d read your dev blog if you ever do publish one :P
Currently working on a rougelike dice based game.

Hi. This sounds awesome, I love the idea of a passion project like this, I even looked into rpgmaker long ago thinking about making a game. Never did.
Now, Im not a professional musician, but I have been teaching myself and playing for about 10 years (Bass mainly and a couple years keyboard). I have been trying to compose something for years, people says it sounds good (tho you never know lol) but I never finish it, I loose motivation and that kind of thing. But I think that If I have something to actually work for I think I might be “pressured” into being motivated.
I’ll be honest, I dont really have all equipment to do it, all I have is a shitty netbook, a bass that is as old as me, and a beaten up semi-pro keyboard. So I might have some “problems” in that regard. But I think my computer is able of making good chiptunes, if thats what you want, and If not, I might be able to work it out.
Im not proposing to make a hole OST, all im asking is If you are willing to tell me what kind of music you want and will fit the levels I might be able to compose something you might like and use in your game, or dont, but at least you’ll get a laugh. What do you say?
