Hello, my name is Shafla, I'm from Venezuela, I'm 17 years old and I do art, music and writing. I love creating stories. I'm not good at programming, so I use RPG Maker and renpy. I love RPGs and visual novels, they are my favorite genres because they usually have great stories.
Since I was a kid I have dreams about videogames, and right now I'm working on a project where I have a lot of love.
I don't have much to say really, so I'll leave you with this quick draw of a cute character.
Hi Cxly.
The best couple of advices I can give you to finish your projects and remain motivated is:
1.- Write it down as a list of steps.
2.- Do not try to kill the whole dragon at once.. do it in pieces. By this I mean, separate the whole challenge in very small pieces (so tyni that is ridiculous) and tackle one by one.
3.- No such a thing as "zero day". Every day you have to do something... even if it is the smallest task of the whole project...
I do not know if this is a magic formula, but I can tell you this... IT WORKS FOR ME.
GOOD LUCK!
Wow, you have done very well.
multiple platforms and multiple software. I like your idea of ethical games; not just to be seen as a complex software that can bring you joy and entertainment. but also something to reflect upon. That would be the type of game that remains in your head year after you finish.
Good luck with your studio.
Sorry for not being able to reply in time. There is a 7 hour time zone difference between us. See you another day. Because I'm going to the Beijing Winter Olympics.
I'm currently gonna work on a game for the #156 Trijam whose theme is "Teatime". But that is a surprise, heheh. Paradox' games really inspired some of the systems in Fall of Bronze, Feudalism Game and to an extent Code Collapse. Those three games are somewhat strategy-based, but there's a lot of interconnected systems, something Paradox helped become my fascination.
As for Telltale Games... I don't feel experienced enough to tackle a story-based game. But one day I will!
What about you?
I wish you the best of luck with your career goals! Spyro was one of my first games too and it helped open a whole new world for me!
What kind of feedback would be most helpful to you at this stage?
Can't wait to see it! Yeah, I'm very adamant at creating thigs from scratch, I feel you learn best that way, so when i got into game development I knew from the beginning to keep thigs small. so many time have I observed up and coming game developers quit because their ambitions were a little too big and they didn't realize the work and time it would take to fulfill those ambitions. I too have a shmups that I will be releasing on here soon! Very good genre to start off in.
Good luck on your projects too!
Poke'mon is the most popular ever and does not really lose popularity for whatever reason. I started playing RPGs with first generation of Poke'mon.
Interesting introduction. I mostly deal with pixel art and MIDI music. Not really sure how to work with people. I could have missed your message since you did not make any direct reply. I am really shy when it comes to explaining my game projects. I am not sure if they sound okay "on paper" to most people. They are very groundbreaking topics dealing directly with politics unlike most games. I think most of what I could need help with is pixel art. Not sure if you could help. I am thinking about 3D models in the far future, but I wanted to try building based on the original Playstation if that is possible.
Hi again im also late in a reply , But i may be able to help you with the pixel art , I am not an 8 bit pixel artist very much , But i do use gimp art software which is free and has a built in pixelator ,So in theory my ordinary art could be pixellated to look 8 bit ,I also have a couple of pixel programmes and animators but havent had time to play with them , A couple of them i bought from itch devs on here that work quite well (Pixellator) being one of the best there are a few more as well some free , Politically i know nothing im afraid , and thats the truth , I wouldnt want to interfere with your story lines anyway im just interested in doing some art and maybe sound fx for you could you possibly give me your email address so that i can send some examples of pixel art (im no expert this is just a hobby) I hope you will and i hope to hear from you soon :) stonky73@itch.io
Hello Everybody !
I'm Norman and i started to learn how to make a game in unity few months ago, learning everything from scratch... I'm trying to develop a point and click adventure game name Debunker in which you play Stan, a TV star who offers 4 millions $ to famous TV Star, to anyone who can prove to him that he has paranormal powers...
https://normanbates31.itch.io/debunker
I'm really inspired with Lucas Art adventure Games like Monkey Island or Day of the tentacle, with jokes and enigmas.
I only have a first prototype for now and i'm trying to improve it so i would be so happy to have feedbacks, helps and critics.
I would also love to discover other's people adventure game and share fun !! And meets people who are interested in making games.
Nice to meet you all,
Norman
Hello ra046! It's nice to meet someone that grew up in the generation of gaming that I did! Don't sweat not being able to keep up with modern trends, speaking of which, there's a "retro craze" trending as we speak! Not sure how you feel about emulation, but around 2 years ago, I invested in an handheld retro console called the Anbernic RG351MP. What a great investment in gaming that was for me! I have access on that little device to gaming history from the very start all the way up to Dreamcast! Hell, just yesterday, when I had time to do so, I went on MAME on that device and played the original Atari Berserk! It was a joy to rediscover an old classic like that. I'm an 80s baby myself, however that is one of many cabinets that I didn't have at my local arcade. Needless to say, while I'm not "trapped in the past", it's great that I still can play those great games! Not sponsored BTW. Just sharing my love for yours and my long love for gaming, it's history and evolution! Right on!
It was an honor to download and try out your game: SnakeEatsSnack, TobywithDino! Your time with Unity, i'm confident, will help you produce amazing content! It was an honor to play what I did and even though it was simple, it was very, very fun! I actually love it! There's plenty of older games and some current designs even that just focus on strong gameplay and fun! Even though you say that it was a very easy game (I'm amazed you made this with the Unity Engine) to make and it doesn't look good (I'll say that it doesn't look bad at all) I could tell that you did put some thought and some work into it! It shows TobywithDino and I'll continue to enjoy your creation from time to time! I look forward to future conversations that we might have and/or seeing where your journey in game development will take you! Best of luck to you brother!
Nice to meet you Miss Madson! Just saying that to you reminds me of my days in New Orleans! Good times! I am intrigued and curious in regards to your first game... You see, I'm one of many David's in this world and no stranger to being called Dave. To see that your game will be called Dave OS makes me smile! I wish you luck in your creation and I can't wait to see what it is! Dave Operating System...oh the possibilities... I look forward to learning more about my OS! :D Take care Miss Madson and hope to talk with you more in the future!
Nice to meet you too, ShumpHomie! The Dave that I'm talking about for Dave OS is... none other than davemadson, my favorite YouTuber of all time who makes the best TTS videos!
I wish I possessed the knowledge you do Goblin Life. It is amazing what you've learned from actually directly interacting and learning from this industry! No jealousy here though, just admiration for your talents. Years ago, I got into the Table Top Gaming hobby and have grown quite a collection! Just playing all those different games made possible with chitboard and plastic...small bits of metal, cardboard etc. and being amazed and inspired by the design alone giving me the ability to see another world and be fully immersed in it started my interest in game design. It was just this past year, regarding video games, that I happily discovered a "fantasy console" called Pico-8! I've been learning bit by bit how to create games with it and that journey has been a fun one indeed! Here's to a love that we all share for gaming!
I believe we are "cut from the same cloth" MirathMal! It's very nice to meet you and I look forward to future conversations. College is something I would still, despite my age (going to be 39 later this year), love to pursue. However, the cost of tuition now and days is jaw dropping. Even Vocational schools to pick up a trade forces to student to seek financial aid from a large bank that will happily receive consistent payments from you for years to come, even well after your graduation and hopefully with you working in your field of study...
I believe that you believe in the value of pure and unaltered passion! Interest, curiosity and passion can take you on a wonderful journey. I sincerely, wish you the best of luck in your endeavours. I too have an interest in acting and voice acting myself! Perhaps in the future, we could bounce some ideas back and forth and maybe even learn from each other! :) Take care MirathMal!
Hello MirrorFalldev. It is very nice to meet you and I can't wait to try out your demo! A puzzle-RPG hybrid you say!?! I'm ALL IN!!! Sounds amazing and thank you so much for sharing your creation! I look forward to future updates and watching the process of creation unfold!
It's very nice to meet you Galaeth Games and I look forward to your future work! The fact that you started on this journey from a young age until present day tells me that you possess a natural talent for this. That, my future friend, is very special and it's something initiate that most likely can't explained or taught. You are blessed and I'm very happy that you are continuing on this path. I hope this platform brings you as much joy as it's been bringing me these past few hours exploring it!
Hey there! Online I'm a pixel artist who is creating a megaman inspired fighting game, hopefully I don't drop this one like the many projects I've dropped before. Outside of my online persona I'm a web developer who wants to transition into game development.
I really appreciate what is going on with the Itch.io community and I want to be part of that!
Hey there Weazel Tech! You've definitely got a talent for pixel art and I wish you luck in your Mega Man/Rock Man inspired fighting game! I remember playing Capcom's Mega Man: Power Battle in my local arcade and I still play it from time to time on MAME! I hope your project comes to fruition! I shall wait patiently and ponder the fighting styles you'll incorporate into this game! I wish you the very best of luck!
Oh it's going great. Due to some problems, I had to make it over all least twice( this is my third attempt). However, all the experience I've acquired made it possible for me to cover a whole lot of ground in a short period of time. I've been working on the game ever since the beginning of this year. Despite it's difficulties, making games is a lot easier than I thought. I've already made a first person shooter that is on itch.io but, if I'm being honest, I'm not too proud of; I just made it to prove to myself that I know how to make games. The first person shooter that I'm making, will truly live up to my standard of what I consider to be a decent shooter.
I know what you mean. I just released my first game, and it took me more than a year and the project was very messy. I think I learned that it's good to invest some time in organizing your code because, especially for larger projects, messy code can become a huge obstacle later on (I had to fight with the code for my game for hours sometimes and it was frustrating) Also maybe it's good to spend a few days thinking through your idea, write down a summary of your game, draw some sketches of your idea (even if they're crappy MS paint drawings, you get a bit of visual reference to look at when you start making the game, it doesn't need to be well-drawn) and get a solid basis for what it is you're going to make before you start actually building the game. I think the main mistake I made was knowing what type of game I wanted to make, but not thinking about a theme or art style until after the fact. These are a few things I didn't do with my first game that I kind of wish I had done and have done with my current project (which has gone much smoother) I think it's solid advice, so I wanted to share. Good luck of course!
Hey i'm Antz I am an independent game developer with 2 years of experience in Unreal Engine. I produce my own beats using garage band and I also enjoy using pixilart for artwork (I used pixilart for all my sprites in my game). My released game is " The Forbidden Web " (Click here -> https://forbiddenweb.itch.io/the-forbidden-web if you want to try it) It is a 2D platformer game with all self made music and self made characters/ animations/ levels etc. I would say 2D animations has been the hardest part because of all the redesigning over 1 wrong pixel.
I currently use Nobara Project by GloirousEggroll, but I have used Mint, Manjaro, and Garuda.
Say you take Fedora, but fix up a lot of different aspects to make it point and click, but also high performing for gamers and content creators. That's what GloriousEggroll did with Nobara. If you go to nobaraproject.org, you'll find what he did for this project, with no affiliation to Fedora, despite being a Fedora engineer himself.
They're definitely challenging lol. I think the closest thing I to a VSRG was guitar hero and DDR. I was ok at guitar hero, not so much at DDR though.
Thanks for the support, Kyle! I'll make sure to keep the scares coming for you, horror genre muncher ;)
Well, looks like I got the name wrong but the horror genre muncher part spot on. My bad Krisse, my bad. But don't worry, I'll make sure to keep the scares coming for you. And for Kyle, whoever that is <3
Don't worry, we'll keep the Kyles' hearts racing faster than a marathon runner on Red Bull :)
Looks like the Kyles better watch out, they might just break the sound barrier with their speedy hearts! The Road Runner, he's got some competition! And don't worry, there'll be plenty of horror to keep things interesting. Toot toot! X )
Hey Rhys, I'm BoneScab and I'm a 15 year old professional couch potato and amateur video game player :). My skills include being able to hold a controller and occasionally pressing the right buttons by accident. I'm really looking forward to trying out the games you develop, especially if they include a button for pizza delivery. Can't wait to chat more about games and your other hobbies, especially the black metal band thing, never heard of that before!
Thank you and nice to meet you (so to speak)! Occasionally pressing the right button by accident is a crucial, I have on happenstance managed to do this myself on a few occasions :P. Hopefully I'll have some more content out soon :)
You have a very big background! Cool that you can write things for magazines. And even have your iwn! Welcome to ITCHIO!
Cool! What kind of games you are thinking of? Console games? Computer games? Tabletop games?
And welcome!
hopefully I can put all these years of unity experience from collage, uni, etc to good use here and make something, that should function properly, with a bit of luck.
Well, Hello there!
You have absolutely come to the right place, looking for some amazing stuff. Itchio is full of that <3
As someone who had to do some rigging for part of a module at uni, I know how much of a pain it is so I have a lot of respect for you for giving it a shot. Good luck and I hope to see some fantastic work done by you, because I know you'll ace it.
With all the critics out there, it is refreshing to get get some positive feedback.
Thanks!! :)

yeah can be hard to figure out just how to introduce yourself, don't worry happens to all of us. I'm not the greatest with introducing myself either. (mostly because I can go on very long tangents, usually about video games)
Hey there, I'm Vinícius - a game programmer, designer, and translator from Brazil. I recently released both 'A Dolphin's Tale' and 'A Wolf's Tale', and I'm excited to connect with new people who share my passion for narrative-based games. As a fan of solo TTRPG experiences, I'm always on the lookout for new ways to create immersive gameplay. Feel free to check out my page to learn more about my work and stay up-to-date on my latest projects.
Looking forward to connecting with you!
What is it, Ancient Steve language or a working v4 onion link from the future.(Looks like hidden wiki to me) ⊙﹏⊙
Nope, I ony have chromebook so best i can do is hope for my mom to get me a pc
Edit: is there any in browser engine for game creation or teaching java/lua?
yeah, I'm not that great at socializing myself tbh, but yeah, welcome to itch and I feel that if you need any advice or help with your projects, this is the place to go. Just going my your profile pick alone, I think you've got some serious skill with pixel art, lot easier than modelling, is something I would be saying if my current project wasn't going to involve it down the line because I foolishly decided I wanted to have 2d sprites in 3d environments and effects.
Thanks for the warm welcome CyberPhoenix150.
Yeah, my main skill I am lacking is marketing xD
Thank you for the kind words, I started learning pixel art a couple years back as I needed art in my games and I can't do other forms of it xD Aside from that, I like Pixel Art :D
Well, I hope you manage to work out the 2D and 3D combination, it can definitely be tricky!
Hello everyone, my name is Pablo Roldan and I am a 49-year-old skater and filmmaker from Chile. I am here to share with you the exciting news about our small game development company, Metacapture, and our latest project, Dead Skate.
As a skater and filmmaker, I have always been fascinated by the world of skateboarding and its unique culture. When the pandemic hit, it inspired me to create a game that combined my two passions with a unique twist: zombies.
With the help of my team of five talented individuals, we have been working hard on Dead Skate, a thrilling and action-packed video game that combines skateboarding and zombies. We have launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the development of a playable demo with two levels, three enemies, and two customizable outfits.
As a new developer in the industry, we are excited to bring a fresh perspective to the gaming world and offer something unique and exciting to players. We believe that our passion and dedication to the project, combined with the support of the gaming community, will help us achieve our goal of bringing the joy of skateboarding to the world, even in the face of a zombie apocalypse.
We appreciate any support you can give us, whether it be through our Kickstarter campaign or simply spreading the word about our project. Thank you for your time and we look forward to sharing more about Dead Skate with you in the future.
Maggy
