hello beautiful entities

Hello everyone, my name is Mikko. I'm a hobbyist indie game developer from Finland. I have been making games as a hobby for over 20 years now. My favorite genre is local multiplayer shooters and most of my games over the years fit in that category.

I have currently one game available here on itch.io. It is my latest finished game project called Lockdown Protocol: http://fractilegames.itch.io/lockdown-protocol

If you want to stay updated on my game development adventures, you can follow me on Twitter, Facebook or check out my website.

I really like itch.io and I'm excited to see it growing into a community!

Hi, I'm Natalie.

I've been playing around with pygame in my spare time for maybe a year now. I learnt the basics as I was teaching it to 11-16 year olds, but I found it pretty fun, so I kept playing with it afterwards, although I never really made anything with it.

I made a short comic recently and that kind of reminded me of what it feels like to finish something haha, so I have two little self-contained ideas for games, that I'm alternating between working on :).

I'd also really like to try a ludum dare, so I think I'm going to go for the next one... Fingers crossed for a fun prompt!

Looking forward to checking out other peoples games, too :).

Edit: I also have a tumblr and I recently made a twitter.

This is awesome that itch.io is sprouting its own community forum!

My name is David, an indie developer and computer science student in Michigan. I currently work on my game Armor Blitz when I'm not doing class work. Luckily the rest of my small team of 5 also works very hard, and some are full time. We've been developing this game for quite awhile now and I love the theme and fanbase that we're developing!

Things I do outside of class include managing my university's game development club Wolverine Soft. As the Vice President this year, I have to keep things running smoothly to ensure the success of on-campus game devs and to provide a good collaborative space for developers.

On that note - if anyone lives in Michigan hit me up. I love to speak with local developers and network with anyone who wants to talk. Oh and I play a lot of online games like CS:GO, LoL, Heroes of the Storm, World of Warships, and occasional MMOs.

Hee ho, I'm Cleave! I'm still in college but I'm trying to make games on the side. I really love 2D games and working with characters, I can do some art and programming but only enough to realize game ideas.

I submitted a game about a week ago, Carrie's Order Up. I'm making some updates based on feedback and am currently juggling some ideas for the next project. I like itch.io so far and it's really awesome it started up a community forum after joining it, I hope I can meet some cool people.

Hey there!

I'm Guillermo, one of the two co-founders of CremaGames. We are a Spanish studio and we've make mobile games and apps for a while. Now, we are making the jump to PC (and hopefully, to consoles, too) with Immortal Redneck, a FPS roguelite set in Egypt with random ability drops, lots of enemies and proceduraly generated maps. Also, we are doing a match-three game as a side project, called Oh My Goat Zoo Rescue.

You can read about how the game is developing here for now, but I'll create a new devlog in itch.io soon enough. I hope you like it!

Hi everyone!

I'm Lee, I quit my job to give myself some time to seriously pursue games development! I started creating levels and did some simple modding for Quake 3 over 16 years ago did some dead-end jobs and worked in an art studio for a bit while learning about games development through C# and XNA, then moving onto Unity and lately I've been learning C++ as well. I'm working on a secret project that I hope I will be able to talk about soon!

Feel free to see some of my stuff on Twitter or my Tumblr.

Hello everyone,

I'm Alex, Italian gamedev now living in Sweden. I'm mainly a game designer but deep down I like programming more. It's since many years that I make my own games, but I also worked on some bigger commercial projects. I've recently released my first commercial game, Memoir En Code, and it was a big success. I'm looking forward to putting more of my work on itch and perhaps sharing the dev progress on this forum :)

Hi! I'm Barbara/St. Barbara/Ms .45, and I'm a self-taught twine/ren'py dev who loves telling stories, especially choice/consequence games. I have a couple of simple games on itch.io right now, and I'm working on a longer story to really beef up my ren'py (and mystery writing!) skills. You can see a complete list of my games at saint-barbara.tumblr.com/mygames (most are twines at the moment, so I'm looking forward to getting more ambitious).

Hello. I'm Phil from the UK. Grew up with a games-programming dad in the 80s, worked in the industry and left because the industry is awful. Wrote my first game Bezier which came out earlier this year. I'm currently adding modes and Steamworks features for a Steam release in the new year.

Here is Bezier on the itch.io.

Here is me on Twitter.

Hope you're all well.

Hello everyone! I'm Josh and I work on my Youtube channel GamingFTL, and as a Community Manager for the co-working space Arch Creatives. In my spare time I mess around with music, stand up comedy and game development! The developers and games on itch.io have been great so i hope this forum really takes off. :

Hello everyone, my name is Graham and I am 50% of Glitch Games.

We make first person point and click games using the Corona SDK. We currently have 5 out and are near to finishing up our 6th.

All can be seen here.

I'm also on Twitter, and so is Glitch.

Hello everyone!

My name is Berick, and I like to make games! My most recent project being a retro-3D random gen adventure / horror called Lost Tomb

When I'm not making games I'm making videos of other indie dev's games. So if you have something you want me to Let's Play, hit me up

I'm also a bit of a Twitter addict, so follow me and I'll follow you!

It's great to finally meet you all.
itch.io has always been a big help to the indie game community, so it'll be nice to have forums and a chance to learn more about other devs and projects here.

I'm Eric (Blue Tengu), and I was involved in game development (game design, translation & programming) here in Japan for around a decade before deciding to pursue indie projects and the kind of games I've always wanted to make. Every week for the last year and a half, I've been doing a live game dev show on Twitch, and the first game completed on the show was warmly supported when I put it up on itch.io, so this place means a lot to me.

Ever since my brother introduced me to the Commodore 64 way back when, I've been in love with games and game dev. (That love for the Commodore 64 is why I made that first game.)

I can be found on Blue Tengu's Site, Twitter, Twitch, or Youtube. If you drop by, definitely say hello, otherwise, I hope to see you here!

Hi everyone, I'm Sam! I'm a game design major in my senior year of college, and while I haven't made much outside of my game lab classes, I have a huge passion for games and game design. I have mostly Unity experience, though I have been looking heavily into Game Maker Studio for 2D stuff after getting it from the Humble Bundle. I want to start working through some GMS tutorials soon, and make a game on my own that I'm confident in uploading to itch.io!

Hello Everybody!

I'm Jonas from northern Germany, and I'm currently in my final year in the German equivalent of high school. I've been making games using Scratch for quite some time (propably about 5 years) until a year ago when I steped up my game a little (hah) and started working with Gamemaker Studio (Not the most advanced software out there, I know, but comming from Scratch Gamemaker seemed like a really good place to get started with more serious game making). Since then I really enjoyed creating a few smaller games in my freetime, aswell as participating in gamejams like Ludum Dare. Right now I'm actually working on an educational app for mobile phones, but I can't wait to return to actual game development soon!

Looking forward to getting to know you all in the forums!
