Some would say this gives players a concerning amount of freedom to abuse the law.

I like to think it's just the right amount of freedom to make the court proceedings fun!

However, this also means more freedom for all involved, including the defendants, than would be imaginable in any real courtroom... so don't feel to bad about randomly pulling a piece on someone.

Promotion New lighting update for my relaxing hiking game

Over the past few weeks, I've been focusing on a major visual update for HIKE: Beyond the Trails.
I completely reworked the game's lighting to create a warm, late-afternoon, semi-sunset atmosphere. The goal wasn't just to improve the visuals, but to strengthen the feeling of being immersed in a peaceful natural environment.

These screenshots represent an important milestone in the project's visual evolution, but they're not the final destination. Before release, I plan to continue refining the lighting, atmosphere, and environmental details to push the visual quality even further.

Hi everyone,

This is my game Riftmoor, and it’s been in development since the end of 2025. I’m a huge fan of Oxygen Not Included and Norland, so I set out to make my own colony sim while adding something more to it.

Inspired by the dungeon system from the anime Solo Leveling, portals periodically spawn in your world and you must send armies to clear the dungeons. In addition, there is a portal at the center of your town that you can dive into for different challenges and rewards.

The goal is to release my game by December of this year!

Thank you!

News If you enjoyed The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante, you can now return to the same universe - but this time as someone whose decisions can determine the fate of the entire Empire.

4 Upvotes

The new game from the creators of The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante once again takes players to the Arknian Empire, but the story unfolds from a completely different perspective. You are the heir to the throne, tasked with preventing the country from falling apart while dealing with noble intrigues, conflicts within the Church, and growing unrest among the people.

If you enjoy games where choices have real long-term consequences and there are rarely any truly “right” decisions, now you can see how this formula works on the scale of an entire Empire.

Discussion Reworked our combo juice and UI based on playtest feedback. Would love to get your thoughts on the changes

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone!

Almost everyone who playtested our game PEGTURE: Peg Solitaire Roguelike had similar issues. The combo counter lacked punch, the overall juice felt flat, and people kept losing track of their last played piece.

So I put together an experimental pass to address all of that based on the feedback. Here’s what changed:

  • Redesigned the combo counter and its effects. It now gradually glows red as your combo builds up.
  • Added a small wind arrow effect that travels to the score counter after every move.
  • The last played peg now has an animated spiral ring around it, which also turns red with higher combos.
  • Changed how peg info works. It used to open when hovering over a peg for too long, which confused players. Now it simply opens with a right click.

Really looking for honest opinions on these tweaks. Feel free to say what works, what doesn't, or what you think is missing. All critique is welcome!

There is a Rot Spreading through your Tree which you can delay, but that only works for so long. The Rot would take over eventually, not just the Tree but You as well.

The Question is if you would even survive long enough for that to happen.

One of the biggest additions is the story or campaign mode that now offers players 8 new mission based levels and new gameplay "direct control" mode where players can take role of any villager and play as him. Many bugs have been fixed and many things and improvements asked by players have been added.
