I've been a fan of games my whole life, my favorite being Ocarina of Time and Medal Gear Solid IV.

Anyhooo...Working at Windwalk Games in San Francisco, California. We are currently working on Enemy on Board, a social deception PC game. From our Steam page!

ENEMY ON BOARD IS AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL ONLINE MULTIPLAYER GAME OF DECEPTION.

Six crew members wake up on the spaceship Andromeda. During their intergalactic travels, two crew members were infected by alien spores. These aliens are now on-board Andromeda, disguised in their host’s bodies. The crew members must discover who the aliens are and kill them. The aliens must keep their identities hidden and kill the crew. Both groups must keep the ship in good repair or risk a critical system failure explosion, killing everybody on board.

We do playtests daily from 4-6pm PST.

If you want, I repeat, ONLY IF YOU WANT, please join our Discord https://discord.gg/gEm2Q83, and download our game on https://store.steampowered.com/app/999860/Enemy_On_Board/

GGs everyone!

[Sibisi]

Hi there! I'm Sibisi, an American graduate computer science student interested in game design and XR development. Some of my favorite games include Slime Rancher, Factorio, and World of Warcraft.

I'm planning to start a devblog on my final project, Corditia, a FPS-management hybrid set on the remote world of Kabash. The player takes on the role of a mercenary-esque farmer, whose job is to run and protect their crop of genetically engineered, ammo-producing plants from the vicious Conglomerate- a corporation-run government hellbent on controlling every other planet in the system. The weapons, ammunition, and supplies you generate benefit a ragtag resistance in the system, whose hopes for freedom lie on the shoulders of you and your cohorts on the planet.

It's a pleasure to be here, and I'm looking forward to the inspiration/criticism the community can offer. 

[Hik]

I'm an Icelandic designer/developer educated in computers, electronics and languages.
In the early 90's I was introduced to the Atari, on which I played space invaders, pac-man and similar games.

My first real gaming experience on the PC was a game called the Lost vikings, I also played many other dos games at that time.

I got my first and only console around the middle of the 90's, it was a Sega Mega Drive II.
That console inspired me a lot, I was mesmerized the first time I saw Sonic the hedgehog played at a store.
That said, I still played many other consoles over at friend's places, like the NES, SNES, N64, Sega Saturn and Playstations.

I liked playing outside and have generally been outgoing, I participated in waterfights in the 90's involving squirtguns
and travelled abroad to warmer countries for vacations. In most of the travels I visited places like amusement parks.

Early on I developed good art skills and continue to improve upon them. I was always interested in editing,
customizing and making games ever since I first found out about the concept of making or changing games.
My talents span a pretty wide spectrum of crafting. I've made clothes, accessories, electronic circuits,
computer programs (and games), drawings, wood carvings, sculptures/models, 3d prints and more.

[Sir_Phobos]

Hey, all! I'm Sir Phobos from CareBot Games. We're a brand new team of two who just released our first game on itch!

As for myself, I'm primarily a programmer, but I love to draw, too. So I've done a little of both on our game. I'd definitely love to learn more about Blender and other 3D art tools in the future. That's my weak point, I think.

I started gaming when I was very young. I believe we had an Atari 7600, but I think I was too young to play at that point. We got an NES a few years later, and those are my earliest memories of playing games. I loved Ninja Gaiden even though I was terrible at it. When I got a bit older, I enjoyed playing Chrono Trigger and other JRPGs. Then I got into playing fighting games like Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike and Guilty Gear XX competitively. Learning to play those games was a great challenge, but I loved the process and learned about sportsmanship and made lots of great friends along the way. Nowadays, I'm into lots of different types of games: fighters, RPGs, puzzle-platformers, metroidvanias, and visual novels (a love which inspired our first game release).

Thanks to everyone else who has shared their stories in this thread, and I hope to chat with you all soon!

[DavidByers]

Hey yall!

I'm David. I've made a few mobile games back in the day, getting back into making game stuff, and also tools which I've found to be really rewarding.

[n1c3kabc]

I'm Nicholas. Developer in N1C3K Games, which basically only contains me :D

I'm still quite young and currently creating some interesting games that hopefully, lots of people will play. My next project is a multiplayer co-op game.

At the moment, one of my games is published in the Play Store for Android only. The name is 'Wafer Fall'. Feel free to try it out and leave some reviews :D In summary, it is an endless game with the character moving downwards blasting through various environments.

That's all I've got! Thanks!

[Rigachin]

Hello! I'm a hobbyist game dev. I'm currently working on my first video game called Astrolabbia. It's a experimental game that combines entertaiment and education.

[Luchee]

Hi! I am a wife and a mom now.
I love games. Especially cute games, but I've spent way too much time watching my husband play Counter Strike, Stalker, Dark Souls, Metro 2033, Witcher, PUBG and other "big boy" series. Me personally, I play everything Nintendo, even though they are not at all that big in where I live - Czech Republic. Everyone plays games on PC/PS4 here, really didn't find many friends with a common Nintendo interest.
I completely fell in love with Stardew Valley (of course), and all the "for kids" games on 3DS. I am not sure how you all be interested in that though.
My husband made me love games. And he finally fulfilled his dream and made one with his former colleague. I am the biggest fan of their work and dedication they've showed. It's not exactly my "cute, peaceful and loving games" genre, but it's soooo cool nevertheless. He spent 4 years developing it in his free time every night after leaving his full time job.
I've already promoted it, because I am way to excited to help them with getting people to know about it and hopefully like it as well. I am so amazed they actually finished and it's now being released after all those years of work! Several times it even looked, they might not make it and just leave it.
Sorry, I can't really think of anything else last few weeks... I am so proud

[Jack Bandai]

Hi the name is Jack. Jack Bandai am a small time indie game developer.What got me interested in games was when I seven I played Sonic the hedgehog on the sega. I was amused by the pixel graphics and well done animation.I started to wonder if It was possible to create video games.Then by eleven I came across Ultimate mortal kombat3 this game got me hooked with its fast paced gameplay and quick combos i loved this game so much I used to host tiny tournaments with my neighbourhood friends and we would play the game 12hours straight hours straight that my mom would tell my friends to go home cause it was late.It was only five years ago i begun my journey to game development I had rocky start as most of my games were unplayable you know bad controls ,bad gameplay etc.Recently I have become better at developing video games but I am still learning new ways of improving this skill and hope to develop amazing games.
Thats my story Jack Bandai an indie game developer currently working on a 2D fighting game at itch.io

[SolaceShard]

Hello, you can call me Solace Shard. I'm aspiring to be an indie game developer. I've been playing games for ages, and have always been interested in making my own, though back then, I didn't have a clue how to actually make a game.

I enjoy a range of games from action, to platforming, to horror.

[pwolk]

Hi, I'm Piotr and my current project is Turbo Island Purger - 80's style dynamic roguelike where you fight weird robots.
Feel free to visit my itch.io page

[Breaking-Point-Dev]

Hi everyone, I'm Nathan. I've been learning everything game development in my spare time for the last 8 years. Modeling, sculpting, texture painting, level design, narrative writing, programming and animation. For roughly the last 2 years I've been working on my first commercial project Dungeon Isles.

I was born in 94 and my earliest favorite games were sonic the hedgehog and crash bandicoot since we had a Sega and a PS1. I believe in 2008 I finally got God of War 1 and 2 and watching the behind the scenes to those games is what really sparked my desire to develop video games. Watching Unreal Engine 3 tech demos for Gears of War 2 drove me to sell my xbox 360 a couple years later to get a cheap graphics card (GT 430) and assets for Unity to start my game development journey.

I was first introduced to Blender in 2010 but didn't start using it or Unity till 2011 when Unity 3.3 was out. I tried starting with UDK to learn development but it was still too demanding for the family computer which is why I learned Unity and still do today.

I'm hoping to release a couple Pre-Alpha demos of my game this year along with a kickstarter campaign.

I'm shocked over 8 years of developing in my spare time that I never tried to join an online community and share my work. I'm excited to get involved and see what everyone's working on.

[GlacierEclipse]

Hi Everyone,

I'm GlacierEclipse, previously known as crneumre (only known to me of course  )

I've been developing small games for about 5 years now, and I am extremely interested in the tech behind games and game design. Most of my time was spent studying the tech part, from XNA and 2d flash games to developing my own OpenGL 3D engine in C++. But most recently I've started focusing more on creating games.

My most favorite games are: Inside, Infamous, Assassin's creed 2, Hollow Knight, Antichamber, The Last of us, Factorio, Papers, Please and FTL. Might look like a weird collection but each one did something that was extremely memorable and innovative to me 

You can check out my games on: https://glaciereclipse.itch.io/, and a game on: https://armorgames.com/play/17831/isolated-subject

Been reading and lurking around the DevLogs section for quite a long time, that's what got me to sign up and want to participate in this community.

[LeArchi]

Hello,

My name is Danya and games are pretty much my free time activity, either playing or developing them. I don't have a huge backpack of experience with developing games but I am currently planning a big project to make on Unity, a space adventure game

I did some projects which included programming in Python, PHP, C++, and HTML but I'm still learning a bunch about programming.

I've been practicing art for around 3 years now and finished some courses on it, so if you need me to draw you something, hmu. Currently working with 8-bit style graphics.

Here is some of my art

https://imgur.com/gallery/SlTxXul

I'm hoping to get some insight into what other people are doing with Unity and how they solve some problems that I'm sure I am going to stumble upon.

[TAG_Animus]

Hello TIG,

I am TAG_Animus, and I'm starting to make games (Unity/C#), so I figured I might as well hang out where the rest of the indie-devs do.

History with Gaming
I tell everyone that I was born with a controller in my hand. I have a history with gaming that has fairly-well influenced every aspect of my life. I started with NES; the first game I beat was Sesame Street ABC/123 with Ernie and Grover, so you know I started out with a strong foundation. Since then, I've touched several systems including PC, Gameboy, Gamegear, SNES, Genesis, Gameboy Color, N64, PS1, Gameboy Advanced/SP, Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, XBOX, XBOX360, WII, PS3, XBOXONE, PS4, WIIU, and Switch.

Current State of Gaming
Hardware
-The XBox has the best controller, but it lacks good titles and the flirtation with Kinect for so long really made them lag behind.
-The PS4 has very many great console-specific titles; I wish their controller was as comfortable as the XBox's.
-The Switch is a great concept, but my massive American hands struggle to keep hold of the tiny controller (and I hate the attachment's plastic on plastic feel). Also, the A/B is backwards. I know they technically made the controller first, but the [Confirm] bottom-button and [Cancel] right-button is fairly bog-standard. And, with everything else, the gramphix could catch up to 2005 at least. 1080p has been out for how long now? And don't get me started on the difficulty of their IP (ez)...
-The PC -- I think any multi-gb game should be available on PC. Imagine if all the above had their own PC store-fronts - the profit-generation. Omg. I love the PC.
-VR is not the future of gaming. I played for an hour an got motion sickness - badly. There might be something in AR, but VR is not the answer.
-Mobile gaming, to me, is awful. I have several visions of what I thought mobile gaming would be, but it turned into F2P grind-fests overloaded with ads and micro-transactions. No thank you.

Software
I think that I'm burned out on a lot of AAA studios. Activision/Blizzard, Bethesda, EA, BioWare, Bungie, 343, Microsoft, etc. These studios have produced more garbage than greatness, lately. I know it's popular to dump on them, but there's a good reason for it. What I don't understand is why the greater gaming community continues to fund this garbage AND then tries to explain to me that it's okay that they pay premium prices on sub-par titles. It's a perpetual motion machine of farts.

This is why I think I'm interested in the Indie-game movement. I know the market is saturated, but I think that it's a good thing. So many people are taking the risk to produce great titles that compete against the AAA devs. Could you imagine if EA got a hold of the golden nuggets like Stardew Valley - the games would be eviscerated before launch. I love the indie game community specifically because it seeks out these games that push out a personal over a corporate mood. There's charm there.

1) A pong clone
2) A SHMUP
3) Blackjack

Can't wait to see where this journey takes me!

[Skaggsoft]

My name's Zach. I miss games from the 90's.

I'm developing a first-person dungeon crawler along with my brother.
Surely you aren't interested in hearing me talk about myself.
I'll go and post about my game; I promise my game's more interesting than I am.
