GameWare is an attempt to take HTML5 games to the next level. The idea is to give HTML5 games the feel of a console experience while also protecting the code from being copied. That’s exactly what GameWare aims to provide.

But how does it work?

A simple HTML5 file is converted into a .gw file. This file cannot be executed by standard programs—only through the GameWare Player, which functions like a console.

This allows developers to distribute their HTML5 games (for example on itch.io) more securely, without having to worry about their code being easily stolen. At the same time, there’s a big advantage: since the game is still technically an HTML5 application, it can run on virtually any hardware. This means developers no longer need to convert their games into complicated .exe files or separate versions for macOS.

GameWare also offers benefits for players. They can simply launch GameWare in their browser, upload their downloaded .gw files, and start playing immediately.

How does it work for developers?

Anyone can contact ROEGA and request the conversion of their HTML5 game into a .gw file. To do so, they only need to send the file and provide the following information: Game name, Software version , Author

That’s it! We will convert the game and send it back as a .gw file, ready for release.

We do not charge any money or take any revenue share. However, we provide a small GameWare logo with each converted file, which can be placed on the cover image to clearly mark it as a GameWare title. We would also appreciate the opportunity to promote each game, although this can be discussed individually.

The release of GameWare is planned for June 20th, with more information coming soon.

If you’re interested in publishing a game on GameWare, feel free to reach out!

I thought the change I made had worked, but apparently not. I don't have Discord and I'm currently busy with other things. I'll try to look into the problem over the weekend.

Hello everyone!

I’d like to share my new game KNIGHTLINE: Sun Bow & Moon Bow with you. It’s a small action-adventure set in a dark medieval world, focused on atmosphere, combat, and exploration.

Game Summary:

Long ago, demons tried to cover the world in eternal darkness. A higher being chose gifted knights and gave them powerful bows. These knights formed the KNIGHTLINES and managed to seal the darkness away—at the cost of their own existence.

Now, hundreds of years later, the seal is breaking… and new KNIGHTLINES must rise to stop the darkness—at least for now.

Features:

Fast paced action gameplay

Dark fantasy story

Pixel art with enhanced effects and animations

Two different editions to explore

I’d really appreciate any feedback or thoughts. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

We found the bug and have already fixed it in the Sun Bow Edition. Thank you for the tip!

Thank you for your feedback. The basic idea is that it's a blind jump, but because enemies also spawn there, it's possible that the player's landing point coincides with the enemy's current location.

We are not aware of any game crashes when entering the door, so we will investigate and improve it if necessary.

Thank you for your feedback; we are doing everything we can to improve the game.

Hi everyone! I just finished a small Platformer Asset Pack for 2D games. All assets are 32×32 pixels, pixel-art style, and include:

• Ground tiles (grass, stone, tech, beach) with matching underground

• Pipes and tree trunks

• Decorations: clouds, sun, moon, water, stones, background hills

• Hazards: spikes in all directions

• Animated water and lava tiles

• Bonus alien enemy sprite

The pack is designed to be easy to use for prototyping, learning, or small indie projects.

Hi everyone!

I’ve been working on a small, heartfelt pixel art platformer called SUPER Euli Beuli, and I wanted to share it with you all. You play as Euli Beuli, a tiny owl on a big adventure, exploring tricky jumps, hidden paths, and unexpected secrets in a retro-inspired world.

It’s a compact platforming journey, carefully designed to surprise and delight with a mix of fun challenges and charming pixel art. The game is releasing on October 3, 2025, and it’ll be available as a download on itch.io.

You can check out the game page here: SUPER Euli Beuli on itch.io

And here’s a quick look at the first level in action:

If this little adventure looks like your kind of thing, you can add it to your collection or follow the page so you don’t miss the release!

I’d love to hear what you think about it, and any feedback or thoughts are very welcome. Thank you for checking it out!

On June 7th, we announced our newest game, "ClashCore," under the motto #WhenWorldsCollide, which was completed and released a few days ago.

We took the motto "#WhenWorldsCollide" very seriously. As the name suggests, "ClashCore" isn't just a fighting game, but much more a game where all of our previous games collide. There are four different fighters from our games and six beautifully designed battle maps!

The game is our most complex yet and took us almost 100 days of work from announcement to release. That may not seem like much compared to major games from EA, Nintendo, or Sony, but for us as a very small indie studio, it was a real challenge.

We were often set back from our plans by bugs; we put so much love into the game that we forgot that time was passing. We've spent hours poring over details and are now even more excited to finally offer you "ClashCore"!

After all our hard work, we would be delighted if you would check it out and download it. We welcome any criticism and want to learn from it to make the next games even better!

Hello amazing comic artist community,

My name is Collin Rossa, and I'm a leader of the ROEGA™ project. We create small indie games, but also everyday tools like MyLine Calendar and Notes, which stand out with their data privacy, security, and cool features.

However, I'm writing this post about something else entirely: our game ALIEN WAR and its sequel, ALIEN WAR - Invasion Reserved.

What is ALIEN WAR? Dive into the Conflict!

For anyone not yet familiar with our universe: ALIEN WAR is our thrilling sci-fi saga that tells the epic story of humanity's fight against an extraterrestrial threat.

• In the first game, ALIEN WAR, humanity heroically defended Earth from an initial invasion.
• In the sequel, ALIEN WAR - Invasion Reserved, the era of defense is over. Humanity launches its full counter-offensive, taking the battle directly to the alien homeworld. It's a mission of vengeance, aiming to eliminate the threat once and for all. Our game is known for its intense pixel-art action, enhanced graphics and animations, and a captivating soundtrack. You can even play a version of ALIEN WAR - Invasion Reserved for free directly in your browser on Itch.io!

https://roega.itch.io/alien-war

https://roega.itch.io/alien-warinvasionreserved

We are absolutely convinced that these stories would translate incredibly well into comic form. That's why we're looking for a talented comic artist or a small team to continue this epic saga with us. We want to offer you the canvas to bring your creativity into our world.

Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It): Create the Crew & the Story!

We truly love it when creators bring their unique touch to a project! To ensure the comic fits perfectly into our existing universe, we have a few wishes that will frame your amazing work:

1. Canon Compatibility: Your story should be an expansion of our ALIEN WAR timeline. It takes place after the events of "ALIEN WAR - Invasion Reserved," as humanity advances into the alien homeworld.
2. A Brand New Crew: This is where your talent truly shines! The comic should tell the story of the crew of a spaceship that has not yet been featured in our games. These characters are new to the canon, and you get to bring them to life! We have some loose ideas to help you get started:
   • The Captain: An experienced, stern older man who leads the ship.
   • The Pilot: A confident, strong woman who often takes command in critical moments.
   • The Co-Pilot: An incredibly kind, slightly shy man in his mid-40s – he's the only one who truly understands the pilot.
   • 4-6 Cadets: Young, not older than 23, they are commanded by the Captain and Pilot. They usually perform their duties conscientiously, though often sloppily, which frequently gets the crew into tricky situations.
3. The Enemies: The familiar, giant flying aliens from ALIEN WAR remain the primary adversaries in battles. They are used as organic spacecraft by smaller, dominant "Lord Aliens" (the Zelkaners).
4. The Alien Queen: A fascinating ruler who genuinely seeks peace throughout the galaxy. However, she perceives humanity as an obstacle to this peace. To achieve her goal, she compels her otherwise peaceful people, the Zelkaners, to annihilate humanity. You are encouraged to explore her motivations and tragic conflict.

Our Philosophy of Collaboration: We're a Team!

At ROEGA, we value creative exchange and trust above all else. We want to give you as much freedom as possible to develop your unique vision. Therefore, it's important to us that you can truly immerse yourself in the world of ALIEN WAR. We strongly encourage all interested artists to check out and play our ALIEN WAR games on Itch.io to get a feel for the atmosphere, style, and characters, and to develop the best ideas for seamless continuity.

Our Offer to You: A Shared Journey!

This comic is intended as a gift to the community. We want it to be freely accessible to all readers and to be published on your own Itch.io page. We are not asking for any money from you for this collaboration, as the comic will be free. In return, we simply request a clear mention of ROEGA in the copyright notice, and our ROEGA logo should be prominently featured on the comic's cover. The connection to the ALIEN WAR games should be clearly recognizable, so readers know where this incredible world originated.

Do you have the passion and talent to expand the ALIEN WAR universe?

If you feel inspired and would like to bring your unique touch to an exciting sci-fi saga, then we eagerly await hearing from you!

Here's how to apply:

Please comment below this post with a brief concept (approx. 1-2 pages) of your comic idea for ALIEN WAR and links to your previous work samples (comics, illustrations, or character designs). We will carefully review every submission and reach out to you directly here on Itch.io if we feel your vision aligns with ROEGA!

We can't wait to discover your visions and work together to make the ALIEN WAR universe even bigger!

With creative regards,

Collin Rossa and the ROEGA™ Team

ROEGA™

Offizielle Mitteilung von ROEGA: Einstellung des Supports für ALIEN WAR und Zukunftspläne

Liebe Spielerinnen und Spieler,

nach eingehender Analyse der Zahlen und dem bisherigen Spieler-Feedback haben wir die schwere Entscheidung getroffen, den zukünftigen Support für ALIEN WAR einzustellen. Diese Entscheidung fiel uns nicht leicht, aber die Realität zeigt, dass das Spiel nicht die Reichweite und das Interesse erzielen konnte, die für eine langfristige Weiterentwicklung nötig wären.

Warum dieser Schritt?

Seit der Veröffentlichung am 4. Februar 2025 haben wir beobachtet, dass die Spielerzahlen nach einem kurzen Hoch rapide abgefallen sind. Trotz unserer Bemühungen, das Spiel über soziale Medien zu bewerben, blieb die Resonanz weit hinter unseren Erwartungen zurück. Ohne eine stabile Spielerbasis macht es wirtschaftlich und kreativ keinen Sinn, weiter Ressourcen in ALIEN WAR zu investieren.

Was bedeutet das für Spieler?

• ALIEN WAR bleibt weiterhin auf itch.io verfügbar, sodass neue Spieler es noch entdecken können.
• Es wird jedoch keine weiteren Updates oder neuen Inhalte geben.
• Falls es kritische Fehler gibt, prüfen wir die Möglichkeit eines letzten Patches.

Der Blick nach vorne: Unser nächstes Projekt

Wir bei ROEGA glauben fest daran, dass Misserfolge auch Chancen sind. Deshalb richten wir unseren Fokus nun vollständig auf unser nächstes Spiel: Ein Top-Down-Actionspiel mit innovativem Gameplay und spannender Atmosphäre. Wir nehmen die Lehren aus ALIEN WAR mit und arbeiten daran, ein noch besseres Spielerlebnis zu bieten.

Unser Fazit

Der Schritt, ein Projekt hinter sich zu lassen, ist nie einfach, aber notwendig, um als Indie-Studio weiterzuwachsen. Wir danken allen, die ALIEN WAR gespielt und unterstützt haben. Falls ihr uns weiterhin begleiten wollt, bleibt dran – wir freuen uns, bald mehr über unser neues Spiel zu teilen!

Vielen Dank für eure Unterstützung! Euer ROEGA-Team

Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping space battle! In ALIEN WAR, you’ll face endless waves of enemies in a fast-paced, retro-style arcade shooter. Dodge, shoot, and survive as long as possible in the vastness of space. Do you have what it takes to become the ultimate space pilot? 🌌🎮
