  • BYTEPATH

    A replayable arcade shooter with a focus on build theorycrafting.

  • SNKRX

    A replayable arcade shooter where you control a snake of heroes.

    Project mention: Releasing a game on Steam | /r/gamedev | 2023-12-06

    One thing that really helped me is looking at the source code and assets of one game that I really enjoyed -- SNKRX, the creator of the game, a327ex, put everything on Github so you can take a look how a finished game looks: https://github.com/a327ex/SNKRX/. The repo even includes the various images needed for Steam, this was very nice so I could make sure some of the assets I made aren't unfit for their purpose: https://github.com/a327ex/SNKRX/tree/master/assets/media . There are also some Photoshop files provided on the Steamworks FAQ which are very useful too, but they mainly show just in which area of the image you shouldn't put important text etc.

  • Stalker_GAMMA

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly G.A.M.M.A. modpack definition files.

    Project mention: What are some good tactical FPS’ in the market right now? | /r/pcgaming | 2023-12-09

    Seems most people in the thread got the bases covered, so I'll recommend S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly, it's free and while the base game is quite enjoyable there are two big modpacks called EFP (Escape From Pripyat) and GAMMA (requires you to join the discord for access though, yuck). EFP places emphasis on faction combat and building up your loadout while the creepy Zone stuff sort of takes the backseat. I have yet to play GAMMA but from my understanding in comparison to EFP it feels more like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. experience but with stronger emphasis on survival and scavenging mechanics.
