Hi! Thanks for the follow!
Your stuff looks really cool. I'm most excited about the Makey Makey connected board game.
It Is! Let us know what you think by leaving a comment in our forums section! The game is still in early alpha stages so if you could report on any and all bugs you find it would be a great big help!

Check out our Discord server as well, there's always someone on!
welcome krobe. I actually have never used ren'py since i dont really have much interest in the graphic novel field. but it sounds amazing that your able to write stories like that. hopefully you can team up with a good artist. its nice to have someone with a background in writing for games that might need it.
Sure thing. The *slightly* unprofessional site would be GameJolt, you can find my profile on there as well. Cheers.
im only 21 so parenthood is still a ways away for me, but i just want to say, good luck to you. XD but enjoy your time here. glad to have more creators.
Hello, people! I'm an indie developer, and the owner of "Bip Studios"!
I love creating video games and making people have fun!
SINCERELY, MIKE JOHNSON ANDERS
Hi, im Nowy. I like videogames (and indiegames more 
).
Years ago, I played a lot of shareware games and I loved them. Time
later, I am very interested in developing games, mechanics and stories, I
did some small games like oz game and pixfrogger. Right now it's not my
job, but it's my main hobby. I mainly program although I often do
everything. I returned to development a few months ago using Gemix
studio and Processing (all in 2d). I hope to see interesting games and receive some feedback here.
My current project is Mystland
Greetings.
Awesome .... I just entered this community and I find your first comment. What you want to do is great. Morpheus is one of my favorite graphic adventures. I have uploaded the gameplay to my Youtube channel "Lost Games" in full Spanish. Apparently in my language I have been the only one that I have uploaded to Youtube.
For my part, you have my full support ....
I hope you understand, I use the google translator ...
Greetings, I follow you on Twitter
Thank you for the kind words! I have previously watched your full replay because I wanted to hear all of the Spanish voice overs. They are not the best, but good for a laugh :-D. Unfortunately, the localisations were paid for by the publishers (Piranha and later Tiburon) so I do not have clear ownership of those assets so all I have are the English assets. Thank you for your support and your replay on Youtube was great!
my name is sam and i finally droped PLACEBO ACTION , i offer my master piece to play for free at the moment so i get you think about it guys , Enjoy :) https://exenger.itch.io/placeboaction
Oh, wow! The graphics look awesome! Imma try your game out.
If you have time, care to try out my game too? https://regaslzr.itch.io/escape-the-fate
wow that sounds amazing! yeah I still make games in the BGE. I think this will be my 9th/10th year soon? nice to meet a fellow blender head. but nice to meet you! looking forward to seeing what you have to offer!
Thank you, and nice to meet you too! maybe I'll upload some random blender projects here later.
Hello, my name is Markus. I'm an austrian artist, independent filmmaker and game-designer.
I like itch.io a lot, I think it's a great and very creative place for many talented people, so I decided to join you ...

Yesterday I made this Comic, representing my mental state after reading about Indie-Game-Marketing ;-D
Hi I'm James,
I am one of the team at Monster Finger Games in the UK.
We use Clickteam Fusion, personally I have used Clickteam products for 15 years although I would same I'm really still only beginner-intermediate.
We started by putting games on the Ouya which went pretty good actually, went to Googleplay after and not enjoying that so concentrating on the PC Market now instead.
A few games we have made with links
Finally our most recent project Super Bombardier which is still in Early Access
No they are not, for the whole world knows i am a scam artist on religious games. Listen, we the whole world start like scam artist, then we become more more legit. I am very sorry I am a faker. But the world knows that. But honest to truth. I desire to make AAA Pentecostal games for Jesus.I don't give a care what people say, think and scream because I am religious man; so bad people can stay away from my life! I still desire to make religious games for what I believe and bad people stay away from me and my family. So yes no games.
I love making religious games anyways!
Perhaps Game Maker might be a good pick. It's very beginner friendly and is perfect for 2D games such as the ones you mentioned. It also has a ton of great youtube tutorials (Shaun Spalding is my recommendation).
Happy coding!
Welcome to itch.io! Everyone sucks at first, just keep at it and don't give up - you'll be an expert in no time. :p
Scratch is perfect for itch! Sorry, I'll see myself out.
Horrible jokes aside, welcome! Best of luck on your big project!
Heyo! I'm Henrique Campos, and I manage Pigdev Studio. Our mission is to create and promote freedom in the game industry. We make games using open source tools, and all our games are MIT this way everyone can tweak and make their own versions(even sell their own version) of our games. We even canon content through our GitHub projects <3
Our toolbox to fight this battle for freedom includes:
And many others, but mainly these :)
The idea is that we will create ever growing games that improve along time. Our strategy is that we will through improvement cycles fund the amount needed to push the games roadmaps to the next release! And new content (new games) are developed through patronage :)
That's it, keep developing and until the next time!
Looks like we have similar philosofies on gamedev, but certainly different levels of experience, since I started out just some months ago haha. Also, legal ver um BR por aqui.
Olha aí! Bom demais ver que estamos não só consumindo como produzindo games! LOL
Hope we team up some time to make some games, maybe a game jam? :D
maybe not the fps, but the rest of those are pretty tough to do. it'll be a while till you can do them at a level your satisfied with, you hey, having high goals isnt a bad thing. and i like your determination! welcome to itch! cant wait to see what you manage to pull off.
I wish I had your kind of dreams. I think that I used to but after seeing how things work I think that my big dream transformed into a "I hope people play my game" kind of dream hahahahaha.
Haha! It's easy to find yourself in that situation. Every time I update my game it almost becomes an obsession to get people to play it and leave feedback. We just got to keep working at it and those dreams will become more and more achievable.
Welcome to the site! the game looks fun! cant wait to check it out later! hope you have a good time here!
chinwag thats the first time i've heard that term. XD but welcome to the site! i'm actually really into narrative games as well, problem being, i suck at making stories. but im looking forward to seeing the projects you put out!
ey man, pixel art is tough, so i definitely respect you putting in the work to improve. anyways welcome to itch!
Thank you. My works are not so advanced, but i would like a general feedback.

Hi, when you have time, please review my game. https://imavera.itch.io/7th-goddess It's an atypical visual novel made with prerendered graphics. This is going to be a free game at least in its first version (kinetic novel). The focus is on story, surprising plot twists, quite a large cast of characters, extraordinary/supernatural events/powers. I am working on this every day for several hours and I hope to finish the kinetic version by the end of this year. Thanks!
Except developing I try to give my opinion on other people's games. Mostly on small games that don't have much popularity. But my games don't get much of reviews and if they do, they are mostly hypocritical and with no criticism. I would love to have someone to criticize my game. This is just an early version but if you'd give it a try would be great.
hello and welcome to itch! sounds like we like many similar things! sounds like the type of novel that i would read XD but honestly, your work seems impressive and i cant wait to check it out. hope you enjoy your stay at itch!
ohh thanks for ur words :D :D i didnt really complete my novel yet. but you can see my work in my profile and gave me ur feedback! :D, i appreciate your opinion
Awesome! Take a look at Godot Engine. It's completely free (open-source) and no royalty cut if you succeed. It also deals with some nuances that Unity has (moderately advanced stuff). Offers 4 languages (visual script, gdscript, C# and C++). Visual script is like blueprints in unreal. gdscript is their own dynamic language (much like python + javascript kinda thing), C# - well, no need to explain this and C++ - they call it GDNative. It's their own system that allows you to create custom nodes (base entity in godot) in C++ without recompiling the entire engine .
Hey!
Yeah. I tried Unity when it was v 2.3 (mac only). The reason I switched was because my team switched projects and I ended up on Unreal. Having used Unreal for a while, I got the impression it is way too bloated and an overkill for most of the thing you want to do. Searching for free alternatives.
I found Godot which blew me away with its scene/node paradigm. It's very light (barely 40MB). Took me around 10 hours to go thru the docs and about 4 hours to make my first game. The thing I like the most about it is that EVERYTHING is a scene (think unity PREFAB, NOT unity scene) and can be instantiated as a node (think unity gameObject) within another scene. Also, scenes can be inherited (unity prefabs can't) and you can nest scenes (can't nest prefabs without losing connection of nested prefabs). Another thing is that it supports 4 coding languages: VisualScript, GDScript, C# and C++.
Also, it's open-source and has no 'success fee' (like Unity's 100k or Epic's 5% cut).
I haven't tried Godot but I've seen some videos + your opinion on it and it looks great. I've been using Unity since I started, a bit more than 2 years ago and I never thought to switch to another engine. Maybe because it took me some months to understand it in depth. I had knowledge in C# before finding out about Unity and it was just great for me because it used putted in use all my previous knowledge. Do you suggest me to give it a try and maybe switch over or I should stick with Unity? I mean, is it easy to start using another engine after you get used to one?
An about the fee, I think that Godot is fairly new and it is looking for more users and it will have a fee later on... Just my personal opinion.
Since Godot is open source - it will probably never have a fee. Whether you should switch is entirely up to you. I would definitely suggest to at least give Godot a try (a week, maybe two) and see if you like the scene/node paradigm. Two years of Unity is enough to get to a point where something starts annoying you (e.g. we've been waiting for nested prefabs for years). But, don't force yourself. I had good reasons and I don't regret doing it. Who knows, I might go back to Unity if professional (9 - 17h) work requires me to.
Hi Steve =), nice to meet you, its awesome that you used to make your own engine, i always prefer to make my own things (2d sprites 3d models etc you know) and while i never did my own engine, i used to use dark sdk that is like a directX wrapper that saves lot of work, but yes i agree with you, after trying unity it seems a lot better due its visual interface and built in features like physics particles etc. Sports and physics games are really fun, i made a racing game (in steam for now), I hope you complete your game really soon and can distribute it here with steam keys (i want to do that too due its protection feature), i hope you can share your experience when its out, good luck!! =)
