Hey everyone! I've been on Itch for a few years but I don't think I ever properly introduced myself here 😅 oopsies!

UK non-binary solo game developer and musician Borealis here. I make visual novels (often with emotional rollercoasters attached) and compose music for game soundtracks. I have quite a few of each under my belt already, but I'm raring to expand my portfolio. If anyone is looking for a soundtrack composer, feel free to drop me a line! I'm game for most genres, but my specialties are emotional piano tracks, full band tracks with heavy guitar, lofi style beats, and retro style electronic chiptune, which I make on a modded 1989 Game Boy for authenticity~

Here's my portfolio!

Looking forward to chatting more with you all, and getting more involved in this awesome indie community 🙌

May I have a look on your game? it sounds cool

geokid1 year ago

Sure! downloads are posted on the site. Note: Windows 7 or newer only is supported. but the scratch files are also posted for open use (modding and whatnot). The game is sort of like a block building game. Blocks can be placed from a drawer and cloned. Eventually, i will add more custimazation, survival mode and perhaps even online play. Thank you so much for the support! i hope your dev journey goes well.

geokid1 year ago(+1)

Hi. I’m a solo hobby indie developer. Working on a tiny retro arcade game called Galactic Showdown https://combat-dices-team.itch.io/galactic-showdown. The game is sooo close to early access!

Dreams become reality in this game.

Galactic Showdown looks like a blend of HEAVY METAL and Porco Rosso.

There is something in this comparison. Thanks for the comment!

HEAVY GRIT LTD.

Hey, I'm part of a new indie games company and we're currently working hard on a new point & click game!

Our first major project will be a pixel style adventure game based around a cast of misfits within a unique and nostalgic Americana setting.

If anyone is interested in being involved creatively or would like to follow our journey for updates, please head to our landing page https://www.heavygrit.com/

Nmodern1 year ago

I'll be sure to get stuck and read the walkthrough!

ha-ha! No but in all seriousness, I'm glad HEVYGRIT is keeping it real and continuing the legacy of the point and click genre.

Alex Requiemd1 year ago(+3)

Hello! my name is Alex and I am a beginner developer and I also venture into the area of pixel art and a little vector art, I am developing a game that has not left the beginning of an idea since 2023, I like metroidvania and jrpg / action games, anyone interested in taking a look at what I will post in the future is graciously welcome!

Nmodern1 year ago(+1)

Idle animation is the first thing I think of when I think of pixel art.

Nice of you to say hello. And feel free to share more.

mermaidblues1 year ago(+2)

call me steff~ im having a lot of fun playing visual novels of many sorts. i welcome suggestions, too.
i'm in my "recently single and wish i had a partner again but i know i'm not ready yet" era, so basically..... i've been playing dating sims nonstop. then i started going for the horror vns too (it seems whenever i reach a stage of depression i go for horror media LOL) and then i was like... hey... what if i MADE a horror vn.....and it's also a monster romance from the point of view of the monster (｀▽´ )!!!

i'm no stranger to python due to my job, plus i've been making art and writing as a hobby for over a decade... so it has all the ingredients to be a good recipe. i do hope i get to make at least one complete vn this year, even if its got only sketches for art (˶ˆᗜˆ˵) i dunno if it'll happen, but regardless, i'm having a grand time playing the stories other people have made~

Nmodern1 year ago

Is this some sort of ARG?

WraithGlade1 year ago(+1)

Hello everyone!

It is good to see so many people here earnestly following their hearts and pursing their creative whims and dreams so authentically!

I am WraithGlade, an ex-AAA game developer who originally got into the game industry right out of college after much effort and good fortune only to have what I thought would be my big break in life turn into one of the worst times in my life due to toxic office politics and difficulties in adjusting to that even despite much effort. I got along well with most everyone there (as usual for me anywhere), but it only takes a few people and/or bad circumstances to make for a bad environment, especially for use sensitive creative types.

I don't really want to talk about that job though. It was also about a decade ago (a long time and I want to move on). Suffice to say, a combination of (1) the residual effects of that toxicity at what I had thought would be my dream job crushed much of my creative spirit and (2) my own personal counterproductively overbearing tendencies towards perfectionism and analysis paralysis and second guessing things (especially language and tool choices) together have led me to struggle with a miserable creative mental block that has lasted me about a decade, preventing me from actually making games despite it being the central desire of my life for almost my whole life (I'm in my 30s) and something I've sacrificed a lot for and invested a lot of time and expenses in. I've spent literally years just endless making rationalizations for endlessly messing around with obscure languages and tools and reading tons of programming tutorial books endlessly month after month and yet not doing hardly anything real.

I am recently trying to make a big push to finally overcome those mental blocks and fulfill my potential and life responsibilities better!

I feel like I have been waiting a whole decade for my life to even begin, and that has been more frustrating than I can even ever find words to describe. Years ago, I sacrificed essentially all other aspects of my life in anticipation of game dev, yet it blew up in my face instead due to the AAA job and I want more than anything to finally be able to move on from that and start living again. I went from graduating near the top of my class and being hired at a higher position than I applied for at the AAA job (because they were so impressed in the interview) to being unable to function creatively at all with respect to game dev for most of the past whole decade.

I am essentially "your friendly neighborhood traumatized AAA game developer" in a nutshell.

I wish for all of you a much better game dev journey than the painful one that I have walked.

Feel free to say hi or ask a question if you want to know a bit more about something in game dev and I may be able to answer. I am rusty and partially creatively dysfunctional, but I still have learned a lot over the years and I want other people not have to suffer as I did and hence it is important to me to be supportive of other people.

Likewise, I hope that when I am finally able to overcome my creative mental block and release a real project that the good people of Itch will prove to be a wholesome community to share that with so that I can at long last mend the bad mental associations that have loomed over my mind since the dark times of my experiences in AAA and of my resignation from there and the myriad stresses since then.

Most importantly though, as always, I am wishing all here a wonderful creative journey and equally wonderful lives.

May brighter horizons and sustainable creativity await us all!

Thank you for reading and have a great day/night.

(PS: Sorry if I am long-winded. I am notably verbose in my natural speech pattern.)

Hello, sorry you had such a bad experience, hope you find your creative spark!

WraithGlade1 year ago(+1)

Thanks Lost Soul! I appreciate the sentiment and well wishes! 😄

Nmodern1 year ago

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

live our dreams.

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.

Sorry, I don't use Google Play or Apple, I only play Windows PC games. If you had a PC version then I'd love to give the game a try. I followed the project on kickstarter though and will look into it launch day to see what it says. Regards and good luck with the project.

same here whenever I look for games it's for a windows machine although I used to do some linux gaming as well, so there is some market for it.

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!
