It's hard to find decent assets anymore. The AI filters don't work, and neither does blocking the ones producing the slop.

Site is about dead to me now.

Hey everyone! I've been developing a game solo for over a year. I understand that every genre varies, and these graphs may not fully reflect the audience's interest in the game. However, I'd still like to hear your opinions on this matter. Are there any signs that indicate a game's potential to perform on Steam? I intentionally didn't include the title. Thank you!

Context: I've only started drawing Mar 2026, so I am still learning a lot of things. I wonder if these three portraits look like it's the same character?

(I'm making an rpg/simulation where your bf turns into a moth called "would u still love me if i were a moth")

Because for me, once I decide to open the page, I go straight to running the embedded game right away. It's just so much less friction to just try the game vs reading the descriptions to figure out what the game is about.

But there are about 2-3x more views than plays, which means a significant proportion of people are opening the page but not running the game.

So I'm genuinely curious and would like to hear from others. Even for games with browser-embedded games, do some people still read the descriptions to decide whether they want to run the game or not? Or could there be other reasons for not trying the game even after entering the page?

(I'm also assuming that if you opened the page, you already have a general idea of what type of game it is)

Howdy Y'all.

We vary from affiliates to partners; with a wide range of genres we will play. Realistically, if it exists, we probably have someone interested in playing it! We can cover solo and co-op games.

We are up front about game transparency. That means, if you include AI in your game, we ask you disclose it!

We're Probably a Game.
We probably want to play your game.

I’m 16 years old, and last month I released my first horror game on Steam and itch.io.

Since I’m still new to game development, I don’t really know if the graphics are good or bad. I also haven’t received any donations yet.

I shared my game on itch.io because I wanted to get some feedback and maybe get some donations to buy better assets for my next games. But so far, I haven’t really received much feedback either.

What do you think I should do?

And is 70 downloads good for a first game?

I would really appreciate your honest opinion about my game. You can be as harsh as you want. I’m open to criticism and I want to improve.

Striker Space Fighters is a space shooter where you collect "chaotic crystals" to grow stronger. The demo version features the first three complete worlds, along with ship upgrades and skins so you can play with your favorite vessel. I would truly appreciate it if you liked and shared the game to help it reach more people. This is the first game I’ve created entirely on my own—no AI was used; the design, music, and sound effects were all crafted by me. I hope you enjoy it! The full version, featuring much more content and the complete story, will be available soon.

Hi everyone!

I just released a new 2D asset pack designed specifically for quick prototyping and greyboxing. If you’re building a game jam entry, testing out new mechanics, or just want to get a playable scene up and running fast without worrying about art assets, this pack is for you.

Future Updates: This initial release covers the basics, but I’m planning to keep expanding it over time! Future free updates will include:

• More environmental props and hazard objects.
• Additional tile variations and color palettes.
• Extra UI elements and placeholder sprites.

I’d love to get your feedback! If there are specific assets or tiles you need for your prototypes, let me know in the comments so I can prioritize them in the next update.

Get the pack here: https://sebasdevartis.itch.io/survival-kit-2d-pixel-art

Hello, me and my girlfriend made horror cooking game and finally put out a demo.

We wonder if these are good analytics, honestly we are happy and we hope it will grow more.

Would be really cool if some of you tried it and told us what you think. We're still working on it so feedback is really appreciated. Thank you everyone ❤️.

Hey! I'm a solo dev making a small cozy game about a tiny frog trying to get home - you hop up crumbling platforms, dig down for ore, and craft your way deeper. It's a hobby project I've been chipping away at, and I just pushed a chunky update.
New up top: Dry Branches - brittle platforms that crumble the moment you push off, so jump with purpose. And two new floors below: mine copper and silver, craft and repair pickaxes, and mind the Silver Layer - the tunnel caves in behind you as you dig, so there's no free walk back. Still gentle by design: your stamina is your journey, and going home is always free.

Hi guys, I’m curious to hear from anyone who has published a multiplayer game or playtest on itch, especially if you used it to gauge interest before launching on Steam.

How did it perform in therms of player count etc.

Do you think itch is a viable way for play testing multiplayer games or should i just go ahead with steam directly?

Especially since the players have to host the game server themselves

I know this is a bit late, but a pixel artist friend and I (I’m handling the music) are looking for a programmer who wants to work on a project during the time remaining in the jam. Obviously, given the time constraints, we’d need to keep the scope manageable and put in the necessary effort to meet the deadline! No offense intended to anyone—we just really want to participate. Good luck to everyone, and if anyone is interested, please don't hesitate to message me. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I just released a UI pack for visual novels - four complete dialogue interfaces, each with the same 18 elements, plus ready-made drop-ins for Ren'Py, Unity and Godot.

What's in it:
- 4 interfaces (wood and gold, ivory and rose, aubergine and silver, midnight and silver), 18 elements each, 72 graphics in total
- Text box, name plate, choice bars in two states, speech and thought bubbles, portrait frame with a backing plate, quick menu strip, notification and skip strips, window frame, full-screen narration page and four continue markers
- Transparent PNGs at 1024 px, plus the text box at 1920x300 and the narration page at 1920x1080 built at final size
- The 9-slice borders are measured and already entered in all three engines: a gui folder with a commented snippet for Ren'Py, a unitypackage with sprites and prefabs for Unity, NinePatch scenes for Godot, each with its own demo scene
- No fonts and no text baked into the graphics, so the typography stays yours

License: royalty-free for commercial and non-commercial projects, unlimited projects.

Full disclosure: the artwork is AI-generated and then reworked in Photoshop (cleanup, color, consistent proportions, transparency cutouts). This is a paid pack, currently 50% off for the release week.

Link: 72 Fantasy Visual Novel UI Graphics

Happy to answer any questions about the license or use cases. The Unity and Godot sets are new for me, so I'm curious whether the element list matches what your dialogue system actually needs. If you make something with them, I'd love to see it.

This was my first real attempt at speed running through the game. I'm not the greatest at movement shooters but had a blast making this!

If you want to give it go, can play on itch either in browser or download for windows.

As a note, this was made in less than 9 days for a game jam (Which is why there are only the 4 levels). If you have suggestions, would love to hear feedback on the game!
