Hello, hello!  I'm David and I'm a native of New Orleans, LA.  I've moved to Connecticut and have been living here for almost 14 years.  I'm a new father and my baby boy is 20 months old.  My boy Henri is a blessing to me.  I can't wait until he's old enough to game with his mom and dad!  That will be amazing!  I've also studied since the age of 3, at art of magic and illusion.  That interest in that field of study has always been constant for me and I've been wondering as of late if "the magic bug" will bite my son too or if he'll simply tell me later in life, "Please put the cards away dad, you're going to embarrass me in front of my friends!"  :D  Either way, all good.  Time will tell as it always does.  

My screen name is a play on words.  Back in the 80s instead of "Shumps" we said "Shooters".  I love saying Shump and will continue to!  Shout out to the ShumpJunkie!  His channel is amazing and re-fueled my love and passion I once had for this type of game!  In New Orleans around that time too, I remember saying/asking, "Sup Homie?" to my friends and/or people I wanted to hit up in conversation.  So I combined those two things together to make my screen name.  

Even though I'm a hardcore fan of that particular genre, it was Pig Farmer's/Puppet Combo's and Kitty HorrorShow's work that I viewed on YouTube via John Wolfe's channel that brought me here today!  What a great time to join too!  I spent a little over 30 bucks, taking advantage of the Summer Sale getting a Puppet Combo Bundle, then also contributing funds to the amazing project and cause:    Worthy of Better, Stronger Together for Reproductive Rights; getting a HUGE savings on an utterly OBSCENE amount of games/apps/fiction and even some TTRPG goodness!  

I had to nab Anatomy by Kitty HorrorShow also!  I've had to have watched John Wolfe's playthrough of it 4-5 times!  Played it for the first time today and it won't be the last!  I'm an aspiring artist/writer/creator myself and the writing in that game, to me, is utterly amazing!  The audio comparisons and analogies of the different parts that make up a house to parts of the human body...  Bravo!  Very, very innovative!  Psychological Horror of the highest order!  Proud to own it now!   

Furthermore, this community and platform is amazing!  I've had time today to explore this platform and I hope one day to contribute some creation of mine to this platform.  Even if that doesn't happen though, the fact that I could interact with other fans of the work and indie developers/designers is fantastic!  This platform hosts some truly amazing work, from the ridiculously fun to the thought provoking and highly experimental type of game/app/fiction/etc...!  This is my first day here, but I can't believe how many hours have gone by exploring this place!  I definitely feel at home here.  I look forward to discovering new talent and future conversations with great people!  Take care guys!

Hey guys. Been here about 3 or 4 months. Been making soundtracks for 3 years and games for about a year or so. I focus on immersive dark fantasy type environments and themes. I've got a new blizzard survival game coming out soon! All our products are Pay what you want so if you are looking for a cheap or a free decent quality game check out our page! There's several games and soundtracks available. 

Donations most welcome of course but your enjoyment is even more welcome

Cheers

My goodness. I didn't even know that there was a community on this website. Hi everyone. Are you doing fine?

LMAO, I'm doing alright, thanks. How are you?

(+1)

I'm doing fine. Just working a game right, it's goin to be a first person shooter.

Nice! How's that going so far?

(+1)

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!

Hi all. I am new to game development on itch.io. My first tool has been made. Let me know what you think so far if you want. Good luck to all and glad to be here.  Neme is Mojo

Im Aspen and i like making nonserious games meant for free entertainment and usually they have graphics youd see in a web game from 2012 (mainly since im shit at graphics), whenever i make a game i try and make something i havent done before and havent seen made alot before, i also like messing around with physics since thats always fun.

Hello Guys,

I'm Olivér Kovács, a Hungarian composer. I have been composing music since I was 14. I'm here because I would like to sell my music packs, and I'm searching for a game project to participate in. If you have an exciting video game project, feel free to contact me! :)

Here's my best tracks on SoundCloud:

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.

Hey I'm Walter Massenhove, I've been making games with Unreal Engine for 4 years and really enjoy creating games, also worked on a VR project but it's not what I prefer.
I've released a game named A Maze In on itch.io and I hope you will like it : https://oualt.itch.io/amazein

What I really love is playing with procedural generation, I like not knowing what the levels I've coded will look like !

Hello!!

Hey I'm James I'm brand new to game dev I've never made anything before but I'm excited to give it a try. If anyone has any advice on 1st games I'd love to hear about it!

(+1)

Huh, I never realized that the Itch app actually had a forum. Expect me to be active here.


That said, my name is Nëïgsëndöïg Cöcülës (Neeg-sen-doyg Ko-kyu-uhls). I'm a gamer with almost 18 years of experience, and essentially a jack-of-all-trades in terms of gaming. I'm a user of Linux and Open-Source software, and plan on doing this for the rest of my life (mainly due to my threat model being relatively low, but I won't get there). I don't just game, as I also play music, write, create content on YouTube (CoculesNation for those interested), and mainly whatever I can get my hands on.

In terms of Game Dev, I did take a class in 12 grade US, but never got to code for those purposes. I was thinking of using an open-source engine with C++ as my language of choice. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Which distro do you use? I tried a few in a VM and settled on Mint, but had used Zorin for a while. I love the choice. Elementary OS tempted me as well. :-)

(+1)

I currently use Nobara Project by GloirousEggroll, but I have used Mint, Manjaro, and Garuda.

Ah, I rememebr Garuda, very colourful. :-) Nobara is new to me, I'll have a look, thanks.

(+1)

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.

I'm Mike,


I've been playing video games since the Nintendo days. I love JRPGS and Adventure games. I love Final Fantasy Games as well shooters. Music is a major component for me in any game I play. It can literally make or break a game for me.

A year ago I got into composing music for fun. I've learned a lot in the past year and still have much more to learn but I've had fun creating music. I hope to get better and better with time. I'll be post projects from time to time.


See you out there!

I think you'd enjoy rhythm games. I happened to play a few myself.

You're probably right!

What do you recommend?

If you're into VSRG's, I'd recommend OutFox (New StepMania), osu!mania, Etterna (Keyboard StepMania) or Quaver. If not, then I play osu! std. (Standard).

(+1)

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.

DDR is a VSRG, but with feet essentially. GH is more of a different class of rhythm game as far as I know

One things for sure, my hand eye speed needs a lot of work lol. I was trying out Etternia and learned the hard way.

Who am I? I ask myself that a lot. A cat-owned reclusive author probably sums me up. Oh, and a game player. I started with an Atari 2600, then Atari 600XL, C64, Amiga 500, Amiga 1200, then a 486. Various PCs with Windows, now moved on to Linux (Mint Cinnamon) for my new PC. Though I still play C64, Amiga and Spectrum games. :-) I recently redid my website to focus just on my books: https://karldrinkwater.uk/

I'm best known for space opera - my Lost Solace books (long-awaited book three out this month!). Oh, and all my books are reduced to 0.99 this week only as my summer sale. https://books2read.com/ap/xr55B8/Karl-Drinkwater

One day I'd like to investigate game jams or ways to licence people to create stuff based on my Lost Solace books.

Hello everyone! 

I'm Giorgos, an aspiring game developer with almost 2 years of  Unity experience, and am somewhat of a 2D artist, mainly drawing pixel art. I've been on a road to finishing a single game project recently, but it's been a non-stop flood of ideas and too many implementations of them, which led to all of my projects being abandoned. 

A few months back, I started a fan project, which I was sure I could finish, and even decided to make a dev-vlog about it. It was a boss-battle platformer, based on the manga "Chainsaw Man", and after grueling months of set-up for the game (making the code, the assets, etc...), I was demotivated to the point where I decided to move on from it, finding it difficult to both program and make the assets for the game.

Right now, I'm recuperating from game dev, and potentially finding an art partner for future projects, in case either of us will need to motivate the other to finish our project(s)  :)

Hi everyone!

My name is Syndroversion, and I am interested in making music for games. I don't want this post to feel like an ad, so I'll just say that you can look for me in the Music and Audio section if you want to know more.

I enjoy all types of games, but particularly strategy games and RPGs.
