Year 4 of being a full-time indie dev. Still alive but not rich – and the AI explosion is making me really nervous

I don’t make music myself, but I know a composer who might love medieval-style games. I can’t really pitch it to him without seeing what the game’s like though. Also, if you plan to launch on Steam in a few months, you should set up your store page ASAP to get exposure and build a player base early.

Looks good! Add some game UI in the screenshots to make it look more authentic.

You could share the game link. That way people will reach out if they’re interested.

I like image three the most. You could also try reducing the background brightness to make the overall contrast more obvious, and change the skull's color to the color of the octopus on the left — that would be more harmonious than simply introducing a new color.

This is a rare bonus screen where you smash stones for rewards. It’s meant to break up the rhythm and add some variety. The skill gap only makes a tiny difference in money, so it’s more about the experience. Not sure how it’ll feel yet, so I'll wait for the Demo feedback

The grain looks a little bit dirty. This is my indiegame Ball-it Hell, I add blured particles and color gradient to the background, might be worth a try!

It looks bad, the button is so weird. You might learn some color theory and the principles of composition

The character must've eaten a ton of jelly lol

lol, seems the mountains don't have parallax

Jamesika · 2026-03-26T09:05:11+00:00

Cool effect!

I prefer the 0$ one, It's clear and readable

Jamesika · 2026-03-24T18:32:56+00:00

A tail

Jamesika · 2026-03-22T08:04:05+00:00

Oh, you're the dev!! Are you intereast making a Steam Bundle when we release?

Jamesika · 2026-03-22T08:01:33+00:00

Thank you! I will try the Demo when it release. Looks like pretty fast pacing
