It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity.
What is everyone creating nowadays? Games, art, music, video, writing, anything - whether it is early, almost done, or just shipped. Feel free to include trailers, images, links - whatever.

After prototyping like crazy last year, we have now started dev on a game based on a beloved IP, and brewing a massively ambitious original title.
We built Blueskyhunter to help creators grow faster and easier on Bluesky with all in one tools.
https://Blueskyhunter.com
https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/14/bluesky-gets-growth-and-analytics-tools-with-blueskyhunter-launch/
Tool helps creators grow faster & and easier with powerful tools and at the end is all about saving time.
The initial versions will only support Bluesky and Mastodon to get it out of the door quicker but I've got Farcaster and Nostr in a usable shape as well.

Trying to get a Patreon build b4 April. *shrug*
It has been a lot of fun learning little skills via local community and online classes! Trying to get in the groove of creating just for fun!
Players have the ability to edit the world to solve puzzles and also create new missions for the game.

I'm a huge Mass Effect fan, and it was starting to feel like we may never get another good one, so... I thought I'd try writing my own...
I used to do stuff in RPG Maker some time ago, but it's been forever

I recently remade a piece I previously did during 2020 as a benchmark. Very happy with the result, and it's also a testament to how even after 5 years I still won't stop talking about fire emblem three houses
Hoping to get a big ol 3d print of it done too

It blew up right as a life change impeded my ability to work on it more. So I licensed it to @eviltrout.com to remake it. The remake came out amazing.

Keep going, guys! Every ounce of encouragement towards our community adds momentum! 💜🌿
I've been focusing on levelling up my concept art skills lately, and putting together a project as part of my mentorship 😀
(Some WIP images!)
Instantly had an urge to try prototype a rough level layout similar to the concept. It was fun and I'm bad at it :)
Will not be used in the project, of course.

Here is some footage from the very first working bit of my level generation working properly
...Would you believe us if we said there's actually hope and light at the end? No? Well, there is.
(This is what the attached images show.)
Outside of that, I'm also working on a novel-length story about a fantasy adventurer, and about adventuring; and meaning to get back to a fan-song for the Ultima series. ^_^

I enjoy critical theory a lot so that's something I've decided to dive into hardcore.

@blanksword.bsky.social , which is my favorite thing ive ever worked on and makes it single-handedly worth it to stay in this awful industry.
it's fulfilling work and the game is already very fun!
I guess all the updates still make this feel like "just shipped", so let me tell you my billiards roguelike Rack and Slay is now available in 8 languages and overall I'd say in the best state it's ever been. :)

VideoBeast is designed for new old games. https://feersumbeasts.com/videobeast.html
I'm the lead editor on this project:
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/483084/the-realm-of-gaian-enoch-blood-in-the-snow
I'm also working on a TTRPG of my own design. It's an urban fantasy with cyberpunk and horror elements.
The working title is "Tales from under The Blood Dome."
Also, a Combination of heavily story-focused game with card-based combat turned out to be quite hard to communicate. The “typical” audience of one half usually don’t care all that much about the other half.
Card-based prompts, tumbling tower mechanics, and a lot of John Wick vibes

It hung with a few others and art from local artists at the Corvallis Museum here in town for a few weeks.
I'm working on a big demo update for my 2D Gunslinger Metroidvania. Luckily the cosmic horror in the game is weirdly therapeutic (Imagine if your biggest worry was an actual monster you could shoot instead of an authoritarian regime)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1637180/Yesterdreamt/
The series is at https://magicariot.com
The announcement trailer has the basics: https://youtu.be/mS6AeVpbqWs …and there are more videos of gameplay and such for anyone interested in learning more. 😄
It's a collaborative effort but "The Psychgeist of Destiny" came out recently. Folks can read it for free online:

I released the opening part as a teaser on itch while i still work on the rest. updating it a bit too. https://amitherobot.itch.io/drt-prequel-chapter

I'm prototyping a collection of rhythm games systems: https://warspiteful.itch.io/project-crow. Finished lane-based gameplay and exploring Groove Coaster next.
Also, fresh off GDC, I've been ideating a single-button rhythm game. Looking at Symphogear and Katana Zero for inspo.
It’s a Norse mythology themed survivors-like where you play as the Norse gods fighting Loki’s army. Demo is live but a big update is coming very soon!
Also had an idea for something operatic earlier today, but i'll have to work out more details

the website itself is also still WIP, made it from scratch, i got quite a few movie reviews from the Berlinale up there in the writing tab!
Everything is covered in black felt to get the proper effect. I've sewn felt around all plastic I did not want to show... here is the result.

It is playable in the browser via PC or mobile device.

Maybe. I haven't actually played a session of Ryuutama yet, but I get a similar vibe in that you basically give yourself an opportunity for adventure.
Particularly observant folks will have a blast with this series, as they'll notice something.. interesting about the show 🥰

I'm very excited about it
I've had this idea for a while but have been too lazy to execute it. It stemmed from me wanting to teach my wife the hand-eye-cordination for a controller so we could play games together! I'd be keen to give it a go when you're done
I post about it here, and there's also the game's bsky: @thebasics.bsky.social
I'm a solo dev working on my first game, a surreal FPS called Wonderland. The idea is to combine a traditional fps framework with surreal, even psychedelic surroundings. Think non-euclidean geometry, playing around with gravity etc. Next up, level design.
I'm working on a push-your-luck deckbuilder inspired by Inscryption and Severance! Currently at the demo stage.

Definitely would buy.
I recently wrapped up the first season of my new game show, Pixel Pop Stars! It's a video game x pop culture trivia show and it was awesome!
I was blown away by the reception, and everyone had a blast. Currently working on season two!

I’m also writing short stories on my blog about a librarian assistant that summons a succubus, and they go on adventures.

If you don't mind my asking, was this inspired at all by the old "Arcomage" game from Might and Magic...?
i don’t mind but it’s a rabbit hole haha- it’s inspired by Castle Wars, which is a clone of ANTZ, which was inspired by… Arcomage
It's not inspired by Arcomage, but ultimately, it's inspired by Arcomage. :P
Thank you for answering! ^_^
Everything here is a solo-effort — all the art and animation, gameplay, sound effects, and a short EP's worth of music. 🦊💫
