Shoutout to all the furries and VN fans out there. The Hayseed Knight is one of the most impressively produced games in the field I've ever seen. Fully voiced, gorgeous art, unusual story and setting and unconventional romance.

It always shocks me to see it undersold.

Sale ends soon.

In Rhell i really loved adding the fire effect

Even if it is mostly used as a hazard i love all the little tiny details to how it functions, like being able to bounce off it or have the fire spread and burn things

The demo for this was very impressive. Indie character action game (think Devil May Cry) but with most of the combat mechanics cribbed from Nier Automata, right down to having an orbiting gun-pod thing and fights often turning into semi-bullet-hell scenarios.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I just started with creative writing and your words mean a lot to me!

Esoteric Ebb is a fun game that takes the Crpg formula of Disco Elysium and gives it a highly humorous spin.

You can still check out the demo on Steam if that sounds compelling!

Queen of treasure isle on Steam Poor Windy has come to search for the treasure hidden on the island. The queens who protect the island are not afraid of her as long as she doesn't do anything unnecessary.

One more shout-out for Queen Of Treasure Isle, which got another couple updates over the weekend.

A metroidvania for people who love exploration and mystery and having multiple solutions to problems. Many endings, mostly-optional combat and charming wordless story. By the Yume Nikki animation guy.

LUCID on Steam Discover your own legend in LUCID. Platform through a crystalline world torn apart by calamity, absorb powerful abilities that expand movement and enhance combat against a diverse cast of enemies and ...

Lucid is another very promising Metroidy thing. This time with a big focus on precision, multi-jumping movement. Kinda halfway between Celeste and The Messenger, as every hit landed in mid-air gives you one more jump or air-dash, and some things can be farmed for multiple in midair.

Great music.
