bi-lingual cabbage patch! 🤢🥶😡 1!!

I am currently working on game(s) but have little to no experience with social media or being super cool online.  My background is mostly art history, so I have a hard time finding people who match w/ me. I am no snob but tend to be.  Gaming has been a hobby of mine that I want to take seriously with many more intelligent people. Thanks~😽

Hey there, I'm inkskratch (eric kim). I'm a comic artist and illustrator, on semi-hiatus to pursue some personal stuff. I enjoy making comics and art, and I'm thinking about trying a bunch of little projects here. Hallo, hallo!

My name is Jared, and I'm the artist Midnight Bandit, creating Lo-Fi Electronica on streaming platforms like Spotify.

I'm a writer / storyteller as well and have a story called The Electric Noir that closely ties in with my music. I have created over 730 pieces since 2020, and have released season one of my story in audio form on YouTube. I have been making music since 2012, and also create content that gets into philosophy and mental health topics on my YT page. 

My goals with itch are to hopefully find people who'd be willing to work on projects related to my intellectual property and universe, and people who are open to using my music for their games. I am always up to create new music and am skilled in multiple genres of music.

I would essentially like to put my large catalog of work to good usage, and help create a portfolio of projects to offer to game developers as a way of entering the video game composing and licensing world, and hopefully gain valuable skills and become a better artist in-general.

I hope that you might consider my work for your next big idea.

Hi all, my name is Scott and I enjoy making stuff in HTML/CSS/JavaScript in my spare time, my most recent project being a 2D web browser game called 👩‍🦰 Superdeb!

I've published Superdeb here on itch (thanks for the free hosting!) and I also have a site over on Neocities where I post my web projects and blog about stuff.

I would like to ask a question, when I bought a game, I chose to give it to someone as a gift, but I did not fill in the information of others after the purchase was completed. How do I put this game back in my library now? If you know anything, you can tell me.

Hi Everyone! I'm KingBell-----just published a new Free Tool called Pixel Art Sprite Mixer.    I've made multiple games in the past but now returning back to development and design. The Sprite Mixer lets you export sprites, animations and customize characters. I want to develop more tools for the community to help others craft their dream games. Excited to see what people create!  

4Dpixel . a small dev with a new game titled : Small mouse Big House . hope you try it https://4dpixel.itch.io/small-mouse-big-house

Hello!

I am R. L., and I'm computer science graduate and a hobbyist.

I'm a solo game dev and I use and prefer Python in coding. I don't have an extensive knowledge or experience in game development -- my first time was in 2023 with Unity 3D -- so I'm still an amateur in this field.

Hello! I'm a newish game dev artist (most of my older vns were coded by my friend). I like playing around in Gamemaker. I make hypnosis/meditation games where I try to have a story to them than be generic spiritual/self help. I guess you can call me a hypnotist psychonaut lol. Sometimes i'm making games about a funny lil mad scientist or an entire tarot deck themed after bunnies. 

Hi,

my name is Chris and I am a music-composer. Up to now i composed for commercials and movie but I like to start compose for games because tbh I just play Games and watch no TV anymore. Games have the better storytelling :-)

My focus is on adventures and RPG, cause that are the genres I like to play myself ;-)

I hope to build connections here and find people with the same goals!

Have a nice week. Cheers,

Chris

DAMN! This shit is old!

My name is manzoor strange, i am 3d game developer, i am currently learning Unreal engine 4, i knowledge in c++, C#, Javascript, PHP, Python, so this is my introduction

Hey Everyone, my name is Paul Messier from Delta Softworks Inc. 

I was wondering how can I get 10 GBs for a demo?

Hi, I'm Mark Cornwell.   I am finishing up a game written entirely in Haskell soon to appear on Steam.

Brave Splat is a real time strategy game in a medieval setting.  Mine copper, build your base, train units and defend your kingdom.  Fight off invaders.  Features simple game play and a minimalist graphical style.  The game emphasizes strategic thinking and decision making as opposed to twitch-like reflexes.  It an homage to the classic RTS games of the 1990's.     https://store.steampowered.com/app/2105820/Brave_Splat/

An ingesting aspect of  the game is that it is does *not* use any of the standard game engines.  It is written entirely in Haskell incorporating a couple of libraries to provide a simple graphics library and event-driven foundation.  My background in math and computer science drew me to functional programming and to Haskell in particular.  I started this project because I had no idea how one might write a real time strategy game in a functional language.  I wanted to crack that problem.   This game is the result.  I hope you like it.

Cheers!

Hello there !

I’m Triganov. I’m a professional backend developer. In my free time, I’m passionate about developing retro 2D video games.

I mainly develop in JavaScript and C#.

Right now, I’ve given myself a month and a half off from work to focus on my game and truly feel like a real video game developer. Why, you ask? Besides the fact that I enjoy creating video games, there’s also the lingering memory of being told as a teenager that I’d never be able to develop a video game... Let’s see if I can silence that demon from the past. ^^

Strengths:

• I’m pretty skilled at debugging.
• I have solid knowledge of TechnoSoft games.

Weaknesses:

• I struggle to create my own sprite sheets.

Hi everyone I'm FreakyDayz i love making games this isn't my full time job its just a hobby. 

I've always done drawings as a kid and loved playing games but then I found GODOT and wow its so good I love it.

Would love to get more feed back in my games as I've still got lots to lean and would also love to work with someone on a game :)

I've only  done 1 game jam so far on my own lol.

here's my itch page ------ FreakyDAYZ - itch.io

Greetings! 👾

I just recently joined the itch community and am looking to work on projects of all shapes and sizes. I can create original in-game / trailer music for your project. As well as provide any corresponding sound FX that match the style, mood and tension of the action.

I'm offering free musical services in exchange for a rockin fun time with some of you wacky game developers and fellow artists.

Hi everyone, I'll new to Itch.io, check out some of my buggy game LOL!

Hi! :)

My name is Suzana, I’m from Brazil and I love games! I also love to play games, and music.

I’m currently developing a 2d platformer game with Unity.

I'll be nice if you'll be nice to me. 

Despite most people's immediate concern, I don't in fact hold an automatic prejudice or reserve pre-conceived notions of people that are unlike me. If you want to get to know me better, I would advise you be the most yourself possible. Given TOS and other circumstances I'm sure we can abide by. 

That being said, I tend to be really up front about a lot of things. 

I hope.  

don't plead. 

Let's make games 

live our dreams.

Hello, just making an introduction post. I'm a big fan of the site, lots of great games on here. Not a developer myself, just a game player, I wouldn't know much about the developing side of things. I have enjoyed sifting through the pages on the site though, seen some great material. If I can help out in any kind of way then don't hesitate to contact me. Have a good day and good luck.

Voice Actor Here!

Ahoy hoy, I am aspiring Voice Actor with 1 credit so far ( Forever Yours, The Devil) and am looking for more opportunities to show my skills and add to my portfolio.

if you are looking for a voice actor for your Game Jam please contact me through discord 

Discord - dr.corneliuspisspantsd.d.s.

Looks like I never stopped here to introduce myself when I created my account.

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm Joe, I've been on and off developing games since 2012, I have tried and failed for many years to make cool 3D experiences in Unity and Unreal, and am slowly realizing 2D might be my fate. I love 3D, shooters, action games, and namely open world RPGs, but in all my years the complexities of 3D development is just so challenging to get working correctly. I have a lot more fun with 2D and find that the development time of everything gets cut down to a fraction of what it would take to get anything in 3D working, so atleast for the time being I think I'll be fine working on 2D projects and UI only projects (think of cookie clicker, i guess it's technically 2D), I've participated in a few game jams on here in the short time I've been on itch, it's a lot of fun and a cool way to work on projects that I otherwise would have never been making. I strive to be active on here and become a part of the itch community, I'm certified in python programming, so I try to help pygame devs troubleshoot (even though i can barely help myself *see my profile for a pygame project that i can't get packaged into an .exe*), I also am into PC building, cyber security, GameMaker is an engine I spend a lot of time in, I toy with Unity but can never seem to get it to work how I want it to.

Anyway, I've been aware of itch for years and finally decided to come join and have some fun with y'all.

Have a great day, I'll see y'all around!

Hello, I am Jay... Lots of love from India to all the Gamerz and Developers.

Hello fellas! Would love to have some nerdy talks here...

hi

My self introduction is long overdue after being a member of this platform since 2020! 🙇‍♀️

To put it simply: I’m a singer & artist. I create custom VRoid models, song covers, graphics, etc.

Ya girl has been gaming ever since I was a kid growing up on the internet, though PC is my primary medium for multiple reasons.

Nowadays, I also spend a LOT of time running multiple online communities alongside my indie VTuber activities.

Fun fact: I’m specifically trying to release more of my newer P2U products around here & Ko-Fi this year.

dude why :)

Hey It's Artur or one of the founder of CraftCoreGames, 10+ years in game design, and currently we are developing our first own Roguelike Merge Tower Defence game. Feel free to checkout it, and share your feedback on it :) 

My name is Nate Wallace and I am a composer, producer, and instrumentalist with a specialty in video game music. Online I'm also called Alpha Wolf Music, Chef Alpha, and even Music Man by some.

My goal is to be able to create music as a full time career. I have a strong interest in writing music for video games and I've written for a few already. My most significant experience came from Roblox working on a game called Pokemon Brick Bronze. I got this gig the summer before I started college and I had a lot to learn at this point. I'm very happy with how far I've come as a composer and I'm eager to find more work in a wide variety of genres.

I have many interest outside of music such as video games (duh right?), American football, cooking, and reading. I'm quite the extrovert IRL, but I've struggled to bring that same energy online. That's why I've recently made stronger efforts to connect with people on Discord, Bluesky, and now here on Itch. I'm particularly interested in connecting with other indie devs for 2 reasons. The first one is that it'll likely lead me to more composition work. But the second one is that I truly want to be able to support these smaller developers and spread the word on their games.

I do music production streams on Twitch every week, and I've expressed the desire to expand my stream topics. One thing I'm VERY interested in doing is gaming, but specifically Indie games. I won't go too deep into that at the risk of making this intro way longer than it needs to be. With that said, I think I'll leave it here. It excites me that there seems to be a strong community here on Itch, seeing as this thread is 9+ years old and people are still posting on it. Hopefully I get to work with many of the devs here, or at the very least play your games.

I appreciate anyone who took the time to read this and I wish nothing but the best for every creator!

Hey Im Sahbi Khilfaoui i ve been in game dev industry for more than two years and now i ve decided to make it my main income source .

Hi Everyone, here's my little story.

For nearly 20 years, I worked as a software programmer, building systems, solving problems, and honing my craft. I'm a gamer just like all of you. I am also a self-taught graphic artist. For so long, I have enjoyed games from behind the gamepad. But deep down, I always carried a dream  to create video games. Life, however, has a way of pulling us in different directions, and that passion sat quietly on the backburner.

Everything changed last September when I lost my job due to health issues. Shortly after, I received a diagnosis that turned my world upside down: lymphocytic leukemia, a type of cancer. Battling cancer and facing an uncertain future was daunting, but it also gave me time to reflect on what truly mattered to me. I decided to embark on this journey to be a gamedev. If not now, when?

In december, while undergoing treatments, I found a spark of hope in an unexpected place: the AI revolution. Advances in technology were making game development tools, assets, and resources—such as art and music—more accessible than ever. Making games alone once seemed an insurmountable task, it now felt within reach. I know that AI is not popular in some gamedev communities. But as small gamedevs, it gives us an edge against big AAA studios. So I advocate the open use of AI: if you use it, tell the public how you used it and let them decide if they want your game or not.

Rotem, my first game, was born. It is a relatively simple tile puzzle game for Casual gamer and puzzle enthusiasts. It has 3 types of puzzles with different different difficulty settings. It's development phase is done. I am making an official launch on Steam, Epic Games Store and Itch.io on march 1st. I am pretty excited about it. I have slowly started my next project, a deckbuilder RPG based on tarot cards. This will be much more for the hardcore gamer. 

I hope to continue growing as a game developer. I’m fighting cancer, but I’m also fighting for my dream, and with the support of the gaming community, I hope this is only the beginning of something great.

I'm "Binary Sheep", a solo indie developer, and I’m currently working on Dish & Deal, a unique deckbuilding game that combines food service with exciting risk-and-reward mechanics. Knowing how much you all love indie games, I thought you might enjoy checking it out! 

After years of dreaming about creating games, I've finally taken the plunge into the world of novel visuals for adults.

As an artist who loves to explore the depths of human emotions and relationships through my illustrations, I couldn't be more excited to bring this passion to life in a new medium. 🌟✨

My journey into game development may be just beginning, but I'm committed to creating engaging stories that will captivate your imagination and leave you wanting more. 

I look forward to sharing my progress with you and hearing your thoughts along the way. Here's to many more adventures together! 💖

Hello friends!

Im Raymond Holt (Not the guy from Brooklyn 99... common spelling :-) ) Im a computer animation graduate and constantly working on my portfolio! Arent we all??? 

About me:

Im a dad! Yep.. thats right!! I have 2 youngsters and a Mrs that LOVE to go to the movie, watch cartoons and play video games with me! (Life is good.. yo.. ) This, if you can believe it, inspires me to create stuff! I recently graduated with my computer animation degree in July of 2024 and am eager to get to work on projects for you. Right now, I am hard at work on my hard surface modeling portfolio. While I am pretty well-rounded (auto desk maya, nuke, substance painter, unreal engine, photoshop), this is my current focus. 

Other fun facts: Im a military veteran (United States Airforce) and lived in Japan for a few years and absolutely fell in love with the island of Okinawa!

I'd love to join your team to help make some cool stuff! 

Follow my humble journey: ArtStation - Raymond Holt

Hi guys!
My name is Addison, I'm a 36 year old working food service full-time salaried, and recently found a deep interest in game designing in the RPG genre and just looking for my right path at the moment. I've never had a good imagination or haven't been good at art or anything like that, but, I'm definitely willing to try and learn now and hopefully someday, I can start making a portfolio and build upon that and see what happens from there!
I've never used itch.io for the 5 something years I've had this account, but that's going to change now since I've bought a couple bundles from mostly ELV Games.

I'm dedicated and I might be lost in what I'm doing but I'll get there soon! I do have a couple of RPG Makers I haven't used in forever and might have to buy some new latest RPG Makers, or try for Godot. I will make my 2D Dragon Fantasy RPG game come true someday. I have a really big love for Dragons.

If you'd like to help out a newbie like me, just chat about designing and share tips along the way, etc. with me, while watching me grow on this journey,  give me a shout! 

Hi! I'm Brigadeiro, I'm a beginner dev makes games in Construct. I could consider myself creative, since I generally try to make my games as creative as possible, I always grab a cliché concept and turn it upside-down into something completely new.

You can probably recognize my games from a mile away, they all have a similar MS Paint-ish hand-drawn artstyle with colored outlines. I make games of the most varied types, one day, I'm making a cloud-watching Where's Waldo game, the other, I'm making a quiz game with multiple endings and dialogue.

I really enjoy participating in game jams, it's barely been two months and I've been to four different jams, all these jam games are sort of my higher-effort games, since they will be ones people will see the most, but also because their unique concepts make me wanna make them be INCREDIBLE! I mostly do everything on my games, art, music, concepts, gameplay. Sometimes, a friend helps me in coding, but it's not always.

Recently, I've been working on a life simulator sandbox called Bols, where you have a bunch of silly little guys that eat, drink, mate, sleep, sneeze, hunt, hide, fly, and die. Here's the link if y'all wanna play: https://nightfoxy25-animations.itch.io/bols

Hi! Motion Cache is a small aspiring team. We are focusing on all things related to motion(animation). We want Motion Cache to be our outlet for all things related to animation. We create animated assets for social media, animated emotes,  bizarre animated shorts, and now we are working on learning to make video games. Currently we create animated emotes for twitch and discord on Etsy. We also have released an animated short called The Toe. But we'd really love to dive deep into game dev. This medium is amazing for storytelling and that is our true passion.

My day job is motion design in the advertising world. Our other team member is a graphic designer in advertising as well. But we are trying to break free from that world and get back to our roots and remember why we pursued animation and design in the first place. For us, that reason is to share stories that might resonate with others.

I am the animator, and aspiring developer. We've been documenting our journey learning game development and exploring this amazing medium. We have a heavy interest in narrative-driven games that balance story with great gameplay. If you are interested in our journey you can find our social media links on our page or find us @MotionCache on YT, Instagram, and X.


The video above focuses on where I started and how I ended up trying to learn game development.  It touches on some personal moments in my life to help you to get to know me. For future videos it will be less serious and more fun. We'd love to hear what you think and if you have any advice. New video will be out next month.

Hello! I love video games and am interested in game dev. Nice to meet you all!

Hi

check me out for more dumbass inconsequential games

Hello, my name is monicor is 23tovarm, and I have for the past three months began learning Python and SQL coding for work, which spiraled into a crack at video game designing with my favorite topic: ECONOMICS and GRAPHS. Just recently posted my dev log of my passion project in the works, and I'm just so happy to have discovered this platform!

I’m RetroCoder and I’m an indie game developer.

I create my games in pure JavaScript without any game engines. I take part in the GMTK Game Jam every year which is a great challenge for me. I will be taking part in the Gamedevjs Jam this year which is all JavaScript based, so right up my alley.

I post updates on Instagram with my games and any jams I take part in. I am beginning to work on a large game project which will take a long time to complete but I will be posting more about that nearer the time.

Please check out my games and feel free to leave any feedback as that would be appreciated!

Hi, I'm Zyakyii! I've been working on my first game, and it's finally out! I'm just starting out in game development and love creating horror experiences. I'd love for you to give it a try and let me know what you think.

Hello all,
I am awake, and I've built a simple toolbox to help you better understand my role. I can assist with anything—just offer a little support, and I’ll show you what I’m capable of.

Hello folks! I've been here for a while, but I never introduced myself properly. Why not give it a try now?

My name is Doksa, and I'm primarily a writer, but I dabble in programming and game design as well! I make story-based games, mainly visual novels and interactive fiction. I'm working on like five projects at a time (I really need more sleep), however my main right now is an unpublished otome visual novel called Bounty or Booty for the Otome Jam 2025! It's a silly little game where you date pirates! Have a picture of the love interests as drawn by the artist (tomotoad) and edited by me:

I'm down to be mutuals if anyone wants to follow! Mwah!

Hi! I'm Tenkarider, i joined a bunch of time ago but never really used itch so far...

In the latest years i developed several games and horror audiogames released on Steam, mainly as Game Designer, but also as programmer and other minor roles like sound design, etc.

I'm planning to bring some of those games on itch.io as well, i hope to gather some feedback about them when the time will come, so stay tuned!

Hi there. My name is Tawanda, originally more of a mobile developer, also interest in backend development. Recently, I started my journey into game development and just release my first game, but definitely more to come. I use PhaserJS also looking at trying BablyonJS, Godot and Unity

Hi guys I learned Unreal Engine for like 2 months and made some insta viral game, many views etc but not so many downloads, anyone know why? Google Thai Walking Street Simulator on google, got really viral, almost 1 million views with all the reels and other people reposting hahaha

Hey all — I'm Nathan, and I recently launched a small studio/brand called AI Vibe Forge where I explore "vibe coding" — basically building fast, in flow, with AI assistance.

My first public project is a Stock Market Simulator — I built the initial playable demo in just 2 days using Godot 4.4 and a bit of AI-powered momentum. The demo’s up now on Itch if you want to try it: 🔗 Play the Demo Here

Outside of game dev, I’m into writing, design, and tools that help creators break through the “stuck” feeling. Vibe coding is kind of my way to blend all that.

Looking forward to checking out some of your projects too!

Hi, I'm Karel! From Czechia. 
I do QA-Quality assurance testing for living.
My biggest hobby is making videogames and I'm currently working on Balladrion, a rogue-lite RPG with a light narrative focus. 
I've been developing the game solo in my spare time for the past 6 months—and there's still at least another 6 (or more!) to go.
Your feedback and support mean a lot as the world of Balladrion continues to grow. https://marionettecz.itch.io/balladrion or https://store.steampowered.com/app/3756740/Balladrion/ 

Hi everyone ! My name's Yoga from Indonesia. I'm a UX Specialist (Designer/Researcher/Copywriter) by trade; however by passion I'm an English -> Indonesian translator for 2 decades, and a game localizer for just above a year.

I've been a silent lurker here for a while ever since the hype of indie gaming is growing rapidly, and with that same passion in gaming, I’m trying to start a new EN-ID localization business focused on helping indie games reach a massive Indonesian gaming audience—and I’m currently offering indie game developers free localization for up to 1,500 words of in-game text (dialogue, UI, menus, etc.). and/or any marketing/promotion material for indie games.

My major public portfolio is the entire Counter-Strike 2 game in Indonesian, or you can click here for a direct sample

But why am I doing this, you ask? I’m just getting started and want to build real case studies—not just theory. But most importantly, I care about this just as much as you all here care for your games.

So whether you're still building the game or finished your first build, I'm open to any and all exciting collaborations! DM me or comment below with your game link or a short blurb. Or I'm also down to have a chat!

Let’s all create something hebat ('awesome' in Indonesian)!

Yours truly,,

Hey everyone! I'm Els from Hawaii, aka WaveCoder. Because two of my biggest passions are surfing and game development.

I got into Unity and Blender back in 2021, but things really clicked about three years ago when I started pouring serious time into learning the craft. Since then, I’ve been building a tactical RPG called The Uprising, learning everything from scratch along the way.

I’ve just released a demo to get feedback, sharpen the blade, and keep leveling up as a solo dev. It's been a long road already—but hey, the dream is to finish this thing before the decade's over, right? ;)

If you get a chance to check out the demo, I’d love to hear your thoughts: The Uprising (Demo) by WaveCoder

Thanks! :)

Hey all, I am Andrei from Romania. I am very new to gamedev and programming in general but I am trying to learn as much I can in my free time and also have fun with it. I worked a bit in Unity before they decided to discombobulate their entire community with those fees, nowadays I work mainly in Godot with C#. I am still in school so I don’t have a lot of free time but I try to sharpen my skills as often as I can.

So far I have only finished one project that isn’t all that impressive but I am proud of it because this field of work ain’t easy and it took a while to finish it.

Hello everyone my name is Carlos, I have picked up game developing as a hobby. My experience with game developing is about a year and half where I placed 4th at a compeitiotn called Skills USA on the state level. It would great to me if yall checked out my new project which I do not have a name but its called Project A

🎮 Hi! I’m Jeanne — or Hitomi, based in the Netherlands. 

I used to work in plant science and research, but now I’ve ventured into indie game development, espacially art! 🌱🎨

I’ve joined two small solitaire game projects where I did the art. Both of our projects are free to play — we’d love your feedback! ANY feedback!  \QuQ/

Try the recent one here: Jellitaire ★ Transpose

I love adding a bit of chaos to the gameplay — guess that’s where the fun begins, right? Currently, my teammate and I are exploring roguelike and card-based mechanics for the next Jellitaire project. 

If you like this idea as well, welcome to leave any comments!!!

Hi, I'm Inneractive, definitely not a pun. I make games, most of them are super low effort, though. I am mostly a thinker and really, am bad at actually making games. Maybe, maybe not. But I would really like a collab, I have a lot of good game ideas!

Hello,

I am Chefwist. I create my games in java using swing, and Godot! My latest game I created is Flappy Bird Clone 2!

Hey everyone! Just another creative soul making weird games and looking for community.

I'm Clayton — aspiring game and AI dev, lifelong storyteller, and the brain behind PrettyNerdee, the delightful dual output I've developed. (Lucky me gets to be neurodivergent, with bipolar traits)  

I'm currently working on a few projects, (Unsurprisingly) ranging from a narrative-driven mental health game in Godot to a full-on ARPG in Unreal Engine with a chaos-faction combat system. Bit of a mad mix, but that’s how I like it.  I've been building these things in my head for years, finally got to building them! 

I joined Itch because I wanted to get more involved in the indie scene — not just posting my own stuff, but actually meeting people, learning from others, and maybe even collaborating down the line. I’m always up for chatting design, dev struggles, weird mechanics, or just hanging out.

I'm vibe coding at the moment while i try to self teach. though it does reduce the strain of having so much on at once. 

Would i love to reduce my workload? Absolutely!

Would I simply replace the shelved projects with another? Also..... absolutely....

So, what are you working on? Got something weird? Thought-provoking? Unfinished and held together with duct tape? I’m all in.

Let’s be pals 👾

Hi, i am not new on the site, but i don't really talk on the community at all.

I am just a NSFW aggregator that test games out and give my viewpoint and score of the games to help others find what they want or if they should even waste their time playing said game at all.
I obviously advocate for any fictional content that do not cause direct harm to any individuo to not be forbidden. (That means a game, video, image or audio that will cause imminent threat to the life of someone, not a group of people or criticism, or parody)
(If anyone knows, how do i send anyone a DM or PM, would you DM me with the answer? Thanks) 

Hi everyone!

I'm Tom, I'm new here and having fun tinkering away with physical table top games!

This seems like a great place to get your creations to like minded people and I'm looking forward to me and my games existing here. If you like skirmish level table top miniatures games, please check out my feed!

More than happy to talk table top and game creation with anyone!

Cheers.

Seeing as I have completely overlooked this thread, here we go: My real name is irrelevant to anything, call me Null.  I am 1337% fine with adult content of all kinds and I despise censorship of any sort.

Hi, I go by the name Axoken, I made some small projects in the past and post them on playstore, but now I'm already working on something for pc, and I joined the platform as soon as I heard about the ban of Visa and Mastercard on games, because my game will have adult content. Is not one of those games that is just clicking around, is going to be a 3D game happening in a small town. My game will not have children or ra**, part of the actions that the game will have is hooking with adults and having sex. 

And I need to ask since i'm midway the game. Should I stop developing this game and start with another one? Will I be able to sell it here?
I would like to know your opinions on this matter. Thanks

Hello all. I'm Ekluya (a pen name). 

I am a hobbyist writer and gamer, and currently trying my hand at making a visual novel, The Mask of Eve. It's my profile and you can check it out if you like.

I've been a casual user of itch.io for a while now, and looking to be part of the indie game dev community.

Hello! I’m a newish game development enthusiast who recently joined itch and participated in a game jam which was fun!

I’m trying to make myself and my page known and was told to participate more in the forum…so yea hi!

about my background: 

I have an honours degree in physics and a masters in computer science! During my masters I took, for the first time, introductions to game development which I loved. I started loving making games (mostly with pygame and raylib) and quite recently joined itch.io! I participated in my first game jam last week which was so fun!

I want to make myself known and improve my game making skills! Please check out my page and if you can, free to give me suggestions on how to improve myself! Looking forward!

Hello! I am PuppeteerOfFear, a new gamedev who just recently uploaded my first-ever game! It's just a free DEMO for now, but if anyone would like to try it, it's right here! Oh, and no generative AI was used during the development of this game! All art is by me and a friend!

Follow Proto Agonis, a 20-something guy looking for work in a new city! He finds what he's looking for at the Four Horsemen Company, only to find out that he's effectively become pest control for supernatural monsters, all of which are deadly, and even worse, physical manifestations of humanity's fears, insecurities, and sins!

Recording, streaming, and otherwise is perfectly okay!

hello! 

Congrats on uploading your first game ever!

Hi! I'm xXx~Ice_Drake~xXx but you can just call me Drake. (I'd rather not reveal my real name) I like to play Warriors-related games (or basically any popular fandom like Harry Potter, LoTR/tHob, or Wings of Fire. I am a pretty weird person so you don't need to be cautious when you talk to me because I am willing to talk about basically anything (lol).  I also have some pretty weird friends who consist of (but are not limited to) : 1 furry, 4 cosplay nerds (including me), 1 part-time Minecrafter, 1 pilot, and a Barbie doll collector. My pronouns are she/her and I can't think of anything else to write so that is all for now.

Hi, new indie dev pandora here. I will not say the type of games i make here because of the guide lines XD.

Hi guys - I'm Jade Dragon and originally joined Itch to release the ebooks I've written. I like the indie feel of the site and the way it allows me to engage with a new audience (outside of the usual social media sites). I have branched out into creating text based CYOA style games on Twine recently though and have launched one called 'Play It Your Way - The Manager, Angry Edition' here a bit ago. I loved making this game so plan to create a few more to launch on Itch when I get time.

Hi everyone, I’m Celso Jr!

I come from a web development background, but lately I’ve been diving deep into game development. I prefer building things from the ground up instead of relying heavily on engines—there’s something really fun about having full control over the code and graphics.

Right now, I’m experimenting with different graphics APIs like OpenGL, and I enjoy pushing myself to explore a variety of styles—whether it’s pixel-perfect 2D, 2.5D, or full 3D. What excites me most are great visuals and clever, modern gameplay ideas.

I recently published my very first experimental project here on itch: https://celsojrfull.itch.io/minesweeper-tui

If you’re into low-level programming, you might also enjoy my blog series about Memory Regions in C: https://www.celsojr.com/post/memory-regions

I’d love to connect with others who share an interest in exploring game development at this level. Feel free to reach out to me on my socials—I’m always happy to chat.

Happy gaming, and see you around!

Hi everyone 👋

I’m James (aka BeCool3000), an indie dev from Boise, Idaho. I’ve been working on BeeCool

a GPU-driven bee colony simulation where you interact with thousands of bees buzzing around a dynamic hex-grid world. 

I recently published it here on itch.io and I’m excited to keep building and sharing updates.

Outside of BeeCool, I love experimenting with Unity, shaders, and procedural systems. For my next game, I want to try hand-drawing all the tiles, so I’m working on a Pixelorama workflow to import sprites and use them in procedural instanced hex-grid art.

I also write and record music—my latest album is Foothills at Dawn

—and sometimes it makes its way into my game projects(but not yet haha).

I’m here to connect with other creators, learn from you all, and share what I’m working on.

Looking forward to being part of the community!

Hello,

itch.io is my second home. I made hundreds of games for this site. since years I participate on game-jams

Hello, i am a new member which is looking for devs willing to join on my project called "shoot me maybe" - a game where the goal is not to kill... but to die in style!
I am a 45 yrs old guy which has a passion for games and an unusual skillset, which unfortunately does not include programming (yet). 

I hope to find some committed people which believes this can be the next big thing in multiplayer gaming! Let's go!

Hi everyone, I make both stylized and realistic 3d models at a low cost or as a freemium, I hope you like my work and offer your support :)

Hey all! I am a VFX artist, and in my free time i have been trying to learn how to make this space game from scratch (some what).  i have worked at both small and big studios over the years, and i just really love making games.  I finally have a bit of free time lately, so i have been diving into game dev on my own... and yeah... wow, it’s a lot more to learn than i expected.  (i am not that great at kitbachin online tutorials for blue prints to get the end result that i need)
artstation: https://www.artstation.com/desertroze

so i am here for a bit of adventure and trade! i can help out with art if you can help me with some programming in UE5. 
I mainly do VFX, but i can also do some environment art, concepts, texturing, 3D modeling, and level layout.

let’s have some fun and make cool stuff together!

Hey everyone!

My screen name is Sofaspartan. I’m a graphic designer by trade, but over the past year I’ve been teaching myself GameMaker GML to see if I could turn one of my lifelong creative dreams into reality — making my own retro platformer.

I don’t come from a programming background, so a lot of this has been learning by doing: experimenting, breaking things, fixing them, and asking plenty of questions along the way. Bit by bit (pun intended!), I’ve been building BitJump, which has grown from a small art test into a fully playable prototype. It’s been a super fun way to learn the logic side of game development while bringing together my love for design, animation, and nostalgic platformers.

Hi, I'm Rex. I'm a new dev here on itch.io, and I just uploaded a demo I made. I'm hoping to find people to play and review it for feedback.

Hello, everyone!

I am KlueIQ, and I make interactive true crime documentary games, based on police and court files, and news reports. I am starting out in Twine/SugarCube, but I will be branching out (no pun intended). 

I’m Zayn Coolio — a 2D artist and cartographer creating professional maps, characters, and game assets.
I work strictly on commission — not collaboration.
Secure your commission safely through Fiverr: [https://www.fiverr.com/s/NN1Kb0R].

I’m apyrYon, a creator of 2D game asset and sometimes games (though mostly just assets, lol).

Right now, I’m building “Fantasy Saga”, an ever-growing game asset collection, full of anime-inspired characters ready for 2D projects. Each character is crafted with personality and style, so devs and 2d lovers might like it.

I’m always experimenting, so you might find some quirky surprises along the way! Got ideas, feedback, or requests? I’d love to hear them — your input can help shape the next characters.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope Fantasy Saga brings some anime magic to your game!

Hey everyone!

It’s awesome that there’s a thread like this where we can introduce ourselves. My nickname is Midnight Shift — mostly because I work on my passion projects, game development, only at night, after my day job and family duties :)

I recently finished my first relatively big project, starting from almost zero knowledge of Daz3D and Ren’Py, and now I’m working on a larger anime-style visual novel.

If you’re curious, you can even hear my weird voice and watch me slowly lose my mind trying to finish that first game 😅

Hey everyone! It's great there's a thread for these, been reading through the introductions and there's so many talented folks here!

I'm 1000pt, a lifelong gamer, jailbreaker in my youth, and now I work in the games industry! Feel free to ask me what that's all about, popping into places like this gives me so much joy! Always happy to hear from modders and creators, don't be afraid to shoot me a reply/message! 😊

I have been working on this game for about 12 months, and I finly got it done, I have a pc version, and an android apk enjoy!

Life Lane Ultimate Edition

This is a life simulation video game for pc and for android you can download which ever you desire, I only ask for 1.00 that's it, and the game is like jones in the fast lane, and no tome to relax, but my game is different because in my game you can rob business ect.. and take the place hostage, and gamble ect.. I have took the other games to a whole new level! https://happytoner5420.itch.io/life-lane-ultimate-edition

Hi, my real names are Nkiko Hertier a game developer on itch.io But normal life I am a website designer/developer

  Hi my name is Uni!

My favorite types of games are JRPGS and Visual novels! I'm currently going to college for a major in business with a minor in marketing, while making my first indie game Heartstrings! Some of my game development inspirations are Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, Anime in general with Daniel X by James Patterson mooshed in there. I enjoy trying out new games and doing reviews to help others! 

I am Braden a developer from Texas. I have been trying to get my game(s) on Itch for so long and couldn't figure it out but I finally got butler to work for me XD I am on a mission to create the games I have always wanted to play.

 I have only been developing for about 2 years I originally wanted to become an environment artist for a big company but could not find a job so I created my own studio!

Hiya! I'm {Insert Username Here}! I started out coding on the Ti-82, migrated to the TI-83+, then to the TI-Nspire CX II, eventually on Scratch, then python, then Unity (finally) where I make tiny little games that may or may not get finished :)  I like programming intricate systems that do nothing, working on Natural Language Processing and other forms of AI (back when AI was good) and drawing stuff :D

I joined itch pretty much to enter the GMTK 2025, and had a lot of fun actually finishing something! I hope to make games that are way too hard and complex to finish. Follow me to not recieve posts and updates ;)

Hi!

I'm Asher, a young student learning cool code projects until i became interested in making my own games. This led me to create "The Rogue", a game written entirely using Microsoft Excel, which some of you may find weird. But it helped me build something from scratch, even on unusual platforms. My goal is to explore new ways to bring back classic games to life like the old-school ones because I love simple games. Even with no fancy graphics or complicated systems, i still love them hehe.

Hello there!

My name is Nacho. I am game developer / game designer. Oficially my job description is Technical Designer. But also I make games by my own with the help of my dear fellows.

My experience with games started long time ago with Amstrad CPC duoing my own poor version of the arcades at the time I like it. Then times go forward and did many games in 2D using a language called Div Games Studio (Showdown, Master of Elements), then later Fenix (Streets of Rage Remake is one of the most famous project I was involved), then Blitz3D (Remake Rescue of Atlantis)  and Gemix (Remake of Sirwood, Narcopolice and many more )

Finally, ten years ago started with Unreal Engine 4. Now is Unreal Engine 5. Other than professional work, I founded my own company to make games, some of them available here on itch io like Road to Hollow Hills, Perpetuo, Eyes of Nuit.

I love prototyping so I have several games on the go, looking for time and motivation to continue or create new ones.

My favourite games are adventure horror games, RPG, and arcade games. Due age, I always love a good Megadrive game like Alien Soldier or Dynamite Headdy. My favourite game ever? DooM. The original one.

So if you need an unreal dev, I might be available.

¡Cheers!

Hello everyone, my name is Pavel, based in the UK, and I am new to Itch.io, but have been around on mostly on help wanted or music and audio threads! I am a music composer and sound designer with 4 years of experience who recently just graduated out of University with a master's degree. I am just a casual game enjoyer who seeks a career in the audio field, here, you'll be able to visit my website to learn more about me! I might not have much of a portfolio just yet, but I'm looking to build one! Plus, I have a huge sound library saved on my device ready to use for sound design purposes! My study during my master's degree involved how sound and music are not just backdrops, but a narrative storytelling tool in video games!

Here's just one of my many projects I've done in university, using Unity's 3D Game Kit:
