Hey Everyone !

I like to call my self 4DPixel and i am Just an ambitious game developer who makes games and shares them on the Internt

Especially in the horror genre

Recently, I developed my first horror game. Smiley Dusty

Smiley Dusty has already garnered some positive feedback for its story and artstyle and I want you to give me yours Here's the link to the game:

I'm also happy to answer any questions you have about the game.

Feel free to share your thoughts!

Hello! My name is Sam Hadding, and I am a cartoonist and animator. I also happen to be autistic, so things can be quite difficult sometimes. Nonetheless, I have defied many odds and got better at my cartoon skill as I developed more of my own personal style. The reason I wanted to be an animator and cartoonist is because I wanted to use my creativity to make others feel like they’re having a good time. With that being said, I also found another way spread mh creativity by making games. Originally made as a side gimmick for my website, my game making has spawned a life of its own on Microsoft MakeCode, Scratch, and, now, Itch.IO. Many of my Scratch games might be ported to Itch.IO, but in the meantime, feel free to play some of my games such as Nova Boltstar, a game that marks my Itch.IO debut! Also, the link to my cartoon website is in my profile if you want to check that out too!

Hello there,

This is my first post after just joining this discussion, so please forgive me and provide kind assistance if I have posted to the wrong subsection.

As a new member in this forum and wish to share and gain some knowledge. I am looking forward to create my own discussion to resolve my query and gain some knowledge though I have taken part in various discussion which is definitely helped me a lot. 

 Also in what category should be taken depends on what factors?  

 Thankyou in advance.

Hello, I'm Scott, aka Dracomicron.

I am self-publishing Wasteland Degenerates, a Mork- and Cy_Borg compatible RPG, via BackerKit crowdfunding (the campaign is in June).  I also released a solo micro RPG set in the same universe, Enter the Dismal Armory, which you can find on this site!

I have been gaming since probably 1983 and have played a variety of systems over the years.  I especially like Demon: the Fallen, AD&D 2e: Planescape, Gamma World, and Starfinder, but the Mork Borg-o-sphere has caught my interest of late.

I'm brand new to semi-pro game design, though I've been GMing for decades and have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't.  Even if I'm wrong, though, I'll learn something from it and do it better next time!

Hello, I'm Off-Leveled Pixels.

How are you all doing today?

This is my first community post despite having been around this site since last year. I'm sorry about that.

I've currently published (so far) two short games on this site. And currently, my focus is to continue making more small games to build up my portfolio and improve my game development skills. I'm still more or less an amateur.

Honestly, I've only become interested in video games recently, due to ones like The Wild at Heart by Moonlight Kids. Because of that, I started looking into 2D game development more, since the class that I had for it back in college was only two sessions.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself. God bless.

Hi, I came to itch.io quite some time ago. Showed off some work-in-progress games, but they weren't real good in terms of quality, and had lots of bugs. I worked at learning programming a bit better after that, and finished a game and released it on itch. The game was a platforming game, but I'm also starting to find myself having an interest in making a visual novel game - creating side projects to "test the waters" before the potential to start a large project of it.

I have a lot of ideas, and not all of them make it to "release" stages, but I feel it makes the ideas that do make it, all the more better.

I just published the demo of my game called Absence of Light, it's an action rpg, it is inspired by soulslike games, try it and give feedback. It's also on Steam in case you rather play there.

Hello, my name is Max and I'm a 3D artist! For the last three months, I've been learning programming, video editing, sound design, game design, and more. So, I'm excited to tell you that today I finally released my off-road horror game where your main goal is to escape a deep, dark forest and survive! I hope you enjoy it! It would be nice if you could rate and comment on my game: https://wnight.itch.io/scp-offroad.

Hi! My name is MoonyInspired and i do a whole lotta things. I am a student in brazil, 19 years, and after i started going into ttrpgs i started also creating games! Now i have two of them, which isnt much but i am proud. I speak portuguese, english and i am trying to learn mandarin. 

Most of my creations will probably be shorter games, specially TTRPG systems, but they all have my own touch. I like to make things different and break the patterns we see all around so playing my games will never be the same as playing any other, at least thats what i try to achieve. I do the styling, writing and translation of all of my games, and i never use AI to illustrate. The art in my games will always be made by real people.

I am also, in general, a writer. I have published poetry and chronics but not in english. I hope we can all know ourselves a little better!! 

Hello,

My name is Nikhil (BrudaB).

I am a Sound designer and Music composer, trained by multiple audio schools and mentors, with 5+ years of hands-on practice over 10 projects including -

• Never give up, Traditional cheese shop (250k+ views on youtube)
• ESMA Montreal - ‘The Little Paper Plane’ (Short animated film)
• The Finals and Counter Strike: Condition Zero (Game trailer re-designs) 
• Agent 327 (School post-production project, leading a team of 5 students)
• Trailer music for a Moroccan TV Show (supervised by Taha Nouri) 
• 10-song Album for an independent artist - ‘Caijo’ (Produced, mixed and mastered)

Also helping other artists and visual designers with composition, sound design, editing, recording and mixing.

I’m a quick learner, disciplined, organized, and have an in-depth knowledge of tools like Wwise and Unity, along with an advanced understanding of ProTools, Ableton and other DAWs like Reaper and Cubase. I have successfully completed the sample games - Cube and Wwise Adventure games (WAG), that come along with Audiokinetic, from designing the sounds for each event from scratch to implementing on Wwise, organizing soundbanks to creating systems for final integration on Unity. 

Within the gaming ecosystem, I have created sound re-designs for games such as -

• System shock
• Kena Bridge of spirits 
• Planet of Lana 
• Luna Abyss

In addition to the above, I have ongoing projects (currently working on 'Nine Sols' Re-design), receiving expert feedback from industry leaders for my high quality sound design and edits.

Based on my experiences and transferable skills, which I’ve gained from my involvement in visual media, I am eagerly looking for a role in games as a Sound designer/Music composer and would love to connect with fellow audio wizards! 

Please do visit my website below for any references to my projects.

Hello fellow game developers,


My name is Alena, I am an expert artist and user interface developer with 10+ years of experience! It's nice to meet you all  

I've been working on:
- League of Legends (Riot Games)
- EVE Online (CCP Games)
- Disney Wonderful Worlds (Jam City)
- Pathfinder: Kingmaker (Owlcat Games)
- and other small mobile games here and there.

Lately I've been increasingly drawn to collaborating with independent developers, helping them refine their projects. Each project is like a child you nurture and cherish, and I approach every game with special care and excitement!

That's why I decided to set up my own Game UI/UX studio and invite like-minded people to join. Being a studio owner isn't easy, but I'm doing everything I can to support my colleagues and collaborate with indie developers. 

You can check out my studio's website at: https://www.dismantle.studio/


I am looking forward for collaborating with each of you and see how I can be helpful.  


Best,
Alena.

Hi guys, 

I'm wpgr and, most of the time, I drink beer and play games. Unemployed, for now, so I have all the time for that.

Besides, I own a bachelor in Game Design and also an AAA in 3D Animation, plus some basics in JavaScript.

I love the concept of GB Studio and I'm planning to learn it at 100% in order to craft my own game.

Cheers,

Hello there... I am an illustrator from Chile, and now I decided to start in videogames...
I have a youtube channel too, but I don't want to mix it with my nsfw games, so I prefer not to say the name of the channel.

I have been working in secret for 6 months, except for my girlfriend, a few friends and family members who know something.

Since I like to dedicate myself to video games, I'm thinking of studying programming next year, I'm pretty old but it's never too late to learn.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

I’m indie hobby solo developer. I’ve long wanted to try making a quick game with rich backgrounds and character outlines. And this is the game I got.

I am indie developer and I made this:

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,,
Yoga 

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.
