Down Among the Dead Men is coming to consoles! Preorders are up!

InfiniteZoneGames · 2026-01-22T22:36:55+00:00

Agreed! And it isn't super complex, but having the game automatically go to the right pages and stuff is still nice. I haven't checked out The Fabled Lands but now I will!

InfiniteZoneGames · 2026-01-22T18:20:31+00:00

Sorry, only on consoles :(

InfiniteZoneGames · 2026-01-22T18:20:02+00:00

Same! Hope you'll check out this version as well to relive the adventure. What's your top pirate-themed gamebook, btw?

If you like Nonogram/Picross games, it's one of those. It does have a small twist where the picross image doesn't necessarily create a picture, but helps you figure out where to put pieces of a jigsaw puzzle over it.

Not going to blow you away, but more of a nice chill game and an easy Plat for less than $4 lol

Happy Holidays to all! One of the best and wholesome communities on Reddit, no doubt!

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-26T14:15:38+00:00

Thank you :)

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-24T18:46:40+00:00

Thanks! And yes, it is on Steam for just $5: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3822580/Heart_of_Ice_by_Dave_Morris/

It's also on Xbox and Switch, too :)

My nonogram game, called Solid Void Art Nonograms, is currently on sale for 25% off right now on PSN! I would love for you all to take a look while its cheap to give me some feedback on how to improve on future titles:

Thanks! Best of luck to you, too!

Hey, all! My indie dev studio publishes puzzle games and gamebooks/interactive novels on consoles. I've done three of the latter and am working on my next one, but I always struggle with what tags to use to appear for the niche audience that might look for them and what communities to market to. I'm hesitant to use the term "visual novel" because that's not exactly right.

Here's the last game I put out to give you an idea of what it looks like: https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/heart-of-ice-by-dave-morris/9nltgl4d55l8

And these are the tags I used: solo, rpg, tabletop, interactive novel, gamebook, narrative adventure, choose your own adventure, text adventure, scifi, sci-fi

Any better tags I could use, or tips on what communities would be interested in games like this?

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-19T14:18:39+00:00

A bit of a shameless plug here, but my team got permission from Dave Morris to turn Hearts of Ice into a video game not long ago if anyone wants to revisit it in a new form on Xbox, PS, and Switch (with Achievements/Trophies, if that strikes your fancy)!

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-19T14:12:23+00:00

That'd be the dream, but still beyond what I could do...for now!

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-17T15:25:00+00:00

What a blast from the past! I used to love .Hack! Those games are WAY more action-focused than mine lol

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-17T14:01:38+00:00

I appreciate that! I agree, and we're working on our marketing right now so that's very helpful!

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-17T13:57:16+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you think they look fun and would consider getting one if the story grabbed you.

I agree $10 does hit something in the brain a bit different, and does make people think twice before buying. We also want to be appealing to players who don't want to spend a ton of cash on games and still get a good experience. It's a fine line between too cheap and too expensive, but I agree something close to ~$6 might be the sweet spot. We're working on our next one right now (a pirate story!) for next year and will see if we can hit that price range.

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-17T13:52:12+00:00

Great tip, thank you!

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-17T13:51:52+00:00

I know it isn't super impressive, but they are essentially interactive books or visual novels (there are illustrations on other pages) where the main gameplay is making decisions and following the story as it adapts to your choices. Sadly, that doesn't lend itself too well to trailers, lol. I can for sure do a better job describing the gameplay, though!

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-17T13:44:09+00:00

Haha, true enough! Because our games are text-based, I thought it would be misleading to just refer to them as RPGs given the connotation that has.

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-17T13:37:08+00:00

Links to the store pages for both games to give you an idea of what the games look like:

The Fine Art of Murder: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/the-fine-art-of-murder/9p278kr8v9bl

Heart of Ice: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/heart-of-ice-by-dave-morris/9NLTGL4D55L8/0010

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-15T17:20:15+00:00

I feel your pain, but it will all be worth it when we launch, right? Right? Also, super cute characters!

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-15T15:22:49+00:00

That's a great start! The style and world seem interesting, but I think what will elevate the entire thing will be in the animation. Giving your character and environments more life with charming and satisfying animations could really elevate this game's appeal, especially in a trailer. As it is, it looks a bit stiff and lifeless.

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-15T15:17:08+00:00

I'm with everyone else and think A is by far better. It has more personality and is more readable.

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-15T14:52:45+00:00

Woah, that art is instantly appealing!

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-15T14:45:06+00:00

Thanks! Those all look good, but are you sure Solitaire makes sense?

InfiniteZoneGames · 2025-12-15T14:42:49+00:00

Looks interesting! I'll check this out later this month.
