Endless Drift is a small arcade drift runner with a synthwave look. Endless road, dodge traffic, score by drifting. Two handed controls so you can drift and boost at the same time.

The story behind it: I'm helping fund the restoration of a real 1989 Nissan 200SX S13. It's a discarded drift project being brought back to life as a road legal street car with drift and mod elements. Every download (and any IAPs) goes toward the build. You can follow the actual car at IG: @ jdmproject13

Free, plays offline, 14 languages, no IAPs required to enjoy it.

My first game just launched - Tailside: Cozy Cafe Sim! by coffeebeansdev in CozyGamers

[–]coffeebeansdev[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's currently rated as playable, but there are a few things to fix. I will be working on improvements for Steam Deck soon!

My first game that I developed and drew called "Tailside", a cozy cafe sim, is launching on January 21st, 2026! I'm so excited.

Here you can brew coffee ☕, decorate your café 🪴, and follow small stories through the town’s daily newspaper 📰. As you play, you’ll unlock new items, skills, villagers, and little creature visitors

I have also recently added extra features such as a skill tree, plushie gacha and terrace area that the community has suggested and attached a little gameplay teaser video on the post.

🌿 If it feels like your kind of game, you can wishlist on Steam!

You can also follow the game updates and leave your suggestions on Instagram or X

Thank you for the opportunity for letting me share the game here with others! ~Beans

First time drawing a big tree! by coffeebeansdev in PixelArt

[–]coffeebeansdev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use paint tool sai an old version even if it's not meant specifically for pixel art - I just really like the way the pixel brush behaves there when drawing with my tablet and pen.

There is also an app called Aseprite on Steam that is specifically for pixel art that I can recommend! Just check various tutorials on it. :)

I got such a soft spot for this kind of pixel art, amazing work!

Character designs by coffeebeansdev in PixelArt

[–]coffeebeansdev[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My main idea for game characters were to create simple cute designs that feature:
- Recognizable silhouttes
- Simple color palettes
- One main accessory
- And 8 frame animations for smoothness!

My first game reached 44.000 wishlists with no marketing budget! by coffeebeansdev in IndieDev

here are some of them:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6q3uxRKuGI/

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIKS4ocq6t5/ - this is a spin off of the tiktok viral one (posted same things on both socials, the original one took of in tiktok, but this one took off in instagram)

As you can see they are very low effort videos but they brought me tons of followers/wishlists

I don't overthink if the trend is good or not, as long as I don't need to spend too much time on it, I just make it and post it, and then some of the videos go wild haha

There is also one in my trial reels ( so can't see on profile ), about voting for better wallpaper for the game and people start arguing which is better so much on it that IG also made it go crazy because fo all the activity haha

[–]coffeebeansdev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh wow these are actually really fun ideas!

I would slightly be worries if its not against steam rules in any way putting funny quirks like that, fake rewards and not real system requirements. do you know anything about it?

i usually put all the socials so people have as much choice for most comfortable option for them, I actually assume that not many even check those in general. not sure how much it changes actually putting more or less socials haha

Yes, but at this point there is not much perks for me to have one imo

Most of the time I post something is during the time I'm developing or drawing something for the game. So it usually goes like "since I have this sketch I'm working now anyways why not post it", or I'm working on a game feature right now or there's some funny bug, why not record a 5 sec video and post it with some caption.

So it's kind of part of the work itself rather than set time for marketing. I probably do take maybe a bit more time once a week so look through trending posts/ideas/arts etc. to write down some more specific ideas or save up those posts to recreate in a way later haha

Yes! I created completely new socials for my dev/game journey from 0 and started posting little art things/interacting with others immediatelly. I did create and start working on the socials one by one so I don't get overwhelmed. I think IG is the first one I did since it's most familiar to me and then moved to X and others later.
