Let's go with Blitz, I'm turning 21 this August, and I'm pretty new here, having only started my own game dev journey around last week. I grew up playing a lot of videogames, strategy games like the Total War series, or FPS games like Rainbow Six took up most of my steam's playtime. I was an avid gamer, but as a developer; It was always a weird 'maybe' for me. I remember making player controls for a rolling ball in Unity, I remember some basic lua coding in Roblox, but neither really stuck. 

I went a really roundabout path back to game development, around the senior year of High School; after being emotionally touched by a story, I became intensely passionate with writing, so I began taking writing electives before graduating and entering a post-secondary program for screenwriters. I always had the philosophy that writing could exist in any medium, so when the school offered a game's writing stream, I was already leaning towards it. I wasn't sure how I'd use the education yet, but I just wanted to have it than to not.

We had a Twine course, and a DnD course; these two courses cemented my decision to go after the games writing stream. There's something special about designing player experiences and giving them agency, rather than making them observe a predetermined narrative. And so because of that, I picked up RMMZ a week ago after it went on sale and started my game dev journey.

Hey Jonathan, I'm Lio. I'm 23 years old and have always loved RPGs, MMOs, Mobas, and bullet hell games like Touhou. I have been interested in game dev ever since I was 10 years old, but despite learning programming in high school, I never got around to doing it cause of my procrastination and fear of not matching up to the vision I wanted for my game.

 I've decided now, after finishing school, that it's time to finally start, or else I'll never play the game I want. My dream is to create a bullet hell RPG game that plays like a fighting game, where each boss feels as rewarding as beating a demon in Geometry Dash. I've always been harsh on myself, but for once I want to put that aside to focus on what matters now. I've decided to create the game from scratch using ebitenngine in Go. 

I tried Unity, Godot, and others in the past, but they've never clicked for me until now. Just posted my first game today, it's a simple asteroid dodger, but I plan to make a complete traditional shoot 'em up game first.

I'm Bloof and majority of my professional life is animation/video editing but for fun I mostly produce mindfulness videogames that aren't the kind of minimalist apps you see everywhere. I like to have characters and a story for my work that people can connect to, to make the experience more real. I sometimes explore themes not normally seen in relaxation apps such as scifi and aliens. 

I also compose ambient music and use dreams as inspiration for my work.

I use Gamemaker and also have my friend help me with Renpy Visual Novels. I wish I had more to post but I'm pretty new to gamedev and mostly just make very simplistic cozy games or yume nikki fangames. 

Hi everyone,

I'm Sophie, a gamer and game enthusiast with a passion for indie games, creative game design, and the stories that games can tell. I've always been fascinated by how developers turn ideas into interactive experiences, whether it's through unique gameplay mechanics, memorable art styles, or immersive worlds.

I joined itch.io because it feels like one of the best places to discover innovative projects and connect directly with the people who create them. I enjoy exploring indie titles, following development journeys, and learning about the challenges and decisions that shape a game from concept to release.

I'm particularly interested in game design, player experience, world-building, and how small teams bring ambitious ideas to life. I love seeing experimental projects, hidden gems, and games that take creative risks.

Looking forward to discovering new projects, supporting fellow creators, exchanging ideas, and becoming part of this amazing community. Feel free to share what you're working on...I'd love to check it out!

Hello everyone and great to meet you all!

I am Razuth and my passion for creating games stems from playing video games since I was aged 7. 

I have been a creator on itch for around 18 months now and I feel right at home here on this amazing, diverse, supportive and creative platform.

My recent work had me devoting myself to develop and publish a game per day on itch for a whole month and now that is accomplished I have some time for reflection but also I am eager to play other games and see what is outside my own bubble.

I am regular user who not only makes games, but also joins these amazing game jams hosted on itch; playing other games and giving constructive feedback.

At times I like to host game jams myself if I cook up a good idea for a premise or theme!

Currently I have built a small community of 100 followers and I also follow around 100 talented and creative users myself and it's great to see what those guys get up to when my feed turns pink!

If anyone wants me to take a peek at their game or their itch page then please reach out to me and I'll see what I can do.

Looking forward to being a part of your journey :)

hi! I’m Daniel and I’ve grown up playing video games since I was a kid (pokemon emerald, animal crossing, stardew valley were my favorite). I loved the design and kept playing it. I’m a fraud analyst now at my full time job. I just created my first game where I combined my passion for gaming and fraud to help people avoid scams/fraudsters. After having so much fun with my first project I want to create another one that has a horror theme to it but in the style of stardew valley lol we’ll see how it goes I guess! Thankful for this community and learning as much as I can from each of you
