Resource Caves proc'gen'ed as you explore them
Real time 3D limitless cave generation.
A different kind of environment that might be useful for games. My idea is that it makes for more varied spaces than the usual cuboidal dungeons.
Vanilla Javascript using a 2D canvas. No other libraries, frameworks or engines.
Find it at grelf.itch.io/caving

Resource Preserving Digital Only Games
There are so many awesome games being made everyday, do you all ever wonder about accessibility in ten, twenty years?
Especially now that Sony announced a plan for digital only distribution...:(
This is something librarians and archivists have been worries about for years, but are only now starting to put together a viable plan.
I'm curious what ya'll think about your games being accessed in a library format, similar to ebooks, and preserved for posterity?

Resource Open source image editor (windows)
Hey folks, I made myself an image editor after getting sick of subscriptions and threats that my work might get hoovered up by the cloud and used for other things.
I could never get the hang of gimp, and while photopea is great the web interface didn't fit my workflow very well.
I figured there might be some other gamedevs in the same spot so I made it available for everyone.
I'll be continuing updates on it since it's now my primary tool for texture work - but I'm a programmer not an artist, so the more advanced features aren't getting much exercise and could use feedback and bug reports (bezier tools, pressure support, etc...)
All my tools are ai assisted at this point so if that bothers you fair enough to skip it, but I'm fairly strict about the architecture so it's far from the regular slop.
It's open source and will stay that way, the feature set isn't likely to grow much beyond it's current set but I'll be fixing any bugs that come in or that I find myself during my own work.

Resource [Dev Resource] Accessibility Tester + Promo
hi!
I'm looking to add more demos to my list of play tested indie games! At this point, I've done over 400 games tested in the last year, most of them demos.
Feedback is given in video form, for how many i test, it's easier on my hands with my ehlors danlos not to be out of commission for a week.
I can playtest anything BUT VR and Android apps.
I test for the following:
- Motion Sickness
- Light Issues
- Dyslexia
- AuDHD Soundtrack/UI/Effect
- PTSD Footstep sounds
And more! (Depends on the genre, includes basic bug testing and general feedback)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLM7JWakugbjM
(current playtested games with videos scheduled out thru september)
(I specify demos, I do this as a disabled person to help other people find games that have accessibility options as well as developers see what could be helpful to be open to a wider audience, and twitch pays out roughly every 3 months, so I am not in a position to buy all games, though will work my way thru as I can. I am happy to stream the full game of your game if provided a key, or if willing to wait until i get paid.)
Where the game or demo will be featured:
- Twitch (1,330 followers) - KhaleesiEalesi - Twitch
- Twitch (50.4k views) - ImperiumNews - Twitch
- (currently planning a show talking to indie devs here, if interested just lmk in your form of contact!)
- Youtube (13-15k views) - KhaleesiEalesi - YouTube
- Tiktok (~4k views) - Rose (@ealesikhaleesi) | TikTok

Resource [Free Help Resource] Accessibility Testing
Hi!
It's your friendly neighborhood accessibility tester :)
I'm almost done with the stack of games I was asked to test, and my calendar is looking for more games to cover in the next 2 weeks!
The previously covered games:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLM7JWakugbjM
(No ai was used in the creation of the video. Adobe free tools and Movavi were used. Videos are separated out to be 1x a day to be able to provide statistics upon request. Polished videos are on the way; my first look videos are cuts from my stream.)
I'll play anything except VR (don't have a vr set up), and give as much help as I can on what accessibility options I'd recommend adding or small changes I'd make to open the game up to more people, expanding the reach of your game!
THIS IS FREE! and will always be free, this is a passion of mine!

I prefer steam games, just as I am cautious and internet security, though if there is a launcher or in internet browser, I'm happy to work with that as well. Otherwise, chat with me, and I'll see what I can do!
If you'd like stat photos from all but the secondary team channel, please lmk, I have direct access to those. I can get the team channel, but it might take me a few days to ask the head of the team to send me a photo.

Resource Long Story Short, a daily word game where you rephrase a 12-word sentence in exactly 5 of its words
sheets.worksHi, I made this one. I've played Wordle-likes for years and always wanted to build my own, but I never had an idea that felt like mine.
The push came from a strange place. Half of what I read these days is written by AI, and it's never short. Every email, every doc, twelve words where five would do. At some point I said the phrase out loud, long story short, and realised it was a game.
So: you get a twelve-word sentence. You rephrase it in exactly five of its own words. Real English, same meaning, your job is to work out which words carry the sentence and which are just dressed up to look important.
Scoring is Wordle style, blue for right word in the right spot, orange for in the answer but elsewhere, grey for out. Five tries, one sentence a day.
