Autocoach is a football roguelike where you program your players instead of controlling them. Set their rules, tune their stats, and climb a ladder of real opponent strategies uploaded by other players.

Each run starts from scratch (minimal stats, limited rules) and you grow your team turn by turn until you hit 5 losses.

Still early. Looking for people willing to play a few matches to help populate the opponent pool. Any feedback is hugely appreciated.

This game needs a visual identity. If you're a designer, illustrator, or pixel artist and want to be part of this experiment, please tell me. All contributions are credited. This could be something interesting with the right people on it.

hi, https://prograbruta.itch.io/tourntemple

a short graphic adventure, years developing, but this is my first real game.
I'm glad you tried it, any feedback is welcome

your biggest pain point in UE5: merge with git

your favorite thing about UE5: blueprints and his debug tools are nice

Godot is also good engine, my company use it for some proyects.

salu2

finally only first boss was really hard.

i would like to suggest that the music not restart when exiting the menu (maybe change volume or pitch filter). And a minimap in game (smaller, in a corner) to not open menu every time

thanks for this game

hi

https://prograbruta.itch.io/tourntemple

browser graphic adventure. work in VR too.

I do this game like a hobby BUT i do my company's QA test it (my company dont do games, do simulators, so QA is not game specialist)

with the super auto pets idea i do an auto battle mini futbol/soccer: https://prograbruta.itch.io/autocoach

to itch i upload a client: https://github.com/dyachan/autocoach

https://supabase.com/ give me a free database

https://render.com/ give me a free server where i upload the backend: https://github.com/dyachan/estadisticas

so the idea is that people can create a formation, share it and simulate a match with others shared formations.

hi, im also a web dev in my company.

there are some games made in pure html+css+js and a backend behind. I love this kind of architecture because you can change client (other interface, better graphics) and game still work.

btw for many advances gendres of games your life will be a lot better using an engine (unity, unreal, rpgmaker).

Some smaller ideas could be done with only libraries (phaser, aframe, ...). More easy than a full engine but need to know what you are doing.

IA is a powerfull tool today but also need to know what IA is doing, or your proyect will be hard to add features in future.

Finally, if you are starting, dont worry about licenses, or legal stuff (im from latam :P). Your game will not generate a lot of money so dont worry about that. Is better practice with a lot of external solutions to have an idea about how do stuff.

An example is https://teamwood.itch.io/super-auto-pets
Very know game where players "create" a formations and send it to server. The server do a match with another formations sended by other players in the past and return to player the played match. Is like a multiplayer in real time but opponent in no real time. I think many auto-battles games are like that.
You dont need an engine to do that, only html+css+js+backend/database

im also doing a game now with the same idea using free database and phpserver services.

Finally 2, like dream say, start small. Maybe only do a mechanic and play with it. Many people waste a lot of time doing all levels and art and dialogues and "visual stuff" but later they can't spend three days making the character jump and the proyect never end.

maybe the lateral controls

very good game, all is consistent, the art, the music, the style, the idea to travel zones. Maybe the teleport places must be more strategic (in lava zone for example).
BUT BOSSES!! hell, they are really hard. first boss i keep in top and only trow mouses. like 100 hours battle bit safe win. otherwise i always die.

hi

browser free graphic adventure inspired in Lucas Arts games. It can also be played in VR.

nice game! I like minimalism and consistency between art, difficulty, and skills, good job!

nice game! good balance and graphics.

the music is very low compared to the sounds, and sounds are a bit repetitive. maybe can change the pitch a little random with code every time can help.

gracias!

está bien hecho, coherente el arte con la historia. Cierra bien.
