Hi! I'm a solo dev making Moonsill, a little watercolor garden on a windowsill for your phone.

It follows the real weather where you live. When it rains outside, it rains on your sill: the jar fills up and every pot gets watered, so rainy days actually make your garden grow faster. Sunny days help things bloom, the window changes with your season, and the moonflower only opens on a clear full-moon night. Nothing wilts, nothing dies, and nothing nags you.

It lives on your home screen too, as widgets: the whole sill, the rain jar, the sky and whoever's visiting (a frog, a snail, a sparrow).

Free to try, and $3.99 once unlocks the whole garden. No ads, no energy, no subscription. The iPhone beta just opened (link in the comments), and Android is coming. (The video is about a month, sped up.)

What would you plant first?

I made Drop Dub, a little food delivery driving game where you hop on your vehicle, pick up orders, and make deliveries before your shift ends.

It’s a lightweight, low-pressure delivery sim designed for quick, casual sessions. It’s playable right in your browser, with no download or installation.

Give it a try: https://dropdub.com

I’d love to hear whether the delivery loop and game’s vibe feels satisfying or if there’s something you’d change!

This is from Evergrowing, a cozy adventure I’m developing about a squirrel and its growing tree home.

Balloon trips take you to other trees, where you can help a farmer, grow fruit, and put out a fire to rescue a builder.

There’s a free Windows demo covering the opening part of the adventure if you’d like to try it: Evergrowing on Steam

Hi cozy game fans! I'm developing Magic Merchant Simulator, and wanted to share a few corners of its garden and workshop.

The idea is to make the everyday work of a magical shopkeeper something you can settle into. Grow ingredients outside, bring the harvest indoors, stir and bottle a potion, then put the finished goods on the shelves for customers. There are also hands-on stations for shaping wands, making brooms, pouring candles and working with fabric.

These screenshots show the game in development, including the garden after dark. I'm building for PC, and the game has not been released yet.

If a quiet routine of gardening, crafting and shopkeeping sounds appealing, here's the Steam page where you can follow along or wishlist it:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5396920/Magic_Merchant_Simulator/

Thanks for letting me share my little workshop!

By day, you’re Grandma’s little helper. You spend your time planting crops with your paws, catching fish, begging for treats, and snoozing in the sun.

But when Grandma goes to sleep, your real job begins. You sneak underground into a secret cat city to meet new furry friends and dive into rat burrows to protect her farm. The catch? You have to keep the house safe and curl back up in your bed before morning, so Grandma thinks you were just sleeping the whole time!

We’ve just opened playtest sign-ups on Steam. If you love games about good pets taking care of their humans, we’d absolutely love your help testing it out!

​

It's a free-to-play life sim for mobile and desktop, and it will never be pay to win. Come and be part of it:

We're a small indie team and we've wanted to make something cosy for a while now after releasing our first game (dark fantasy souls-like). This is what we've been working on for months now.

It's a cosy management sim where you sail down the river on a teahouse boat through a Ghibli-inspired world. You can explore little river town, forage real herbs, and brew tea for whoever you meet along the way.

We wanted to make it a bit more interesting too so every town has its own little drama unfolding and you get pulled right into it!

First two image are concept art we did like a month ago and we still look at it whenever we're stressed lol. The last two are how it actually looks in engine now.

Honestly, making something this soft, warm, and cozy has been such a nice change for the team. but since it's still our first, we wanted your opinion.

Would you guys dock your boat here for a while? Is the world worth spending hours in? Does it make you happy?

If anyone's interested in playtesting, you can check out this link: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/2406379/199858136187667656/share

Tidewalker started as a gift for someone who spends their beach walks looking down for shells. They were kind about it, and it turns out they prefer the real thing, which is fair.

So I'm asking honestly: is there anyone this is for, or are some things better left as things you just go and do?

It's a slow walk along a shore that never ends. Everyone walks the same beach, and every find exists once: keep it, and it's gone for everyone else. New ones wash in on the real-world tide, twice a day. No rush: look down, pick something up, turn it over, keep it or leave it for someone else.

I'd love to hear what you think, including "this doesn't need to be a game".

Game Title: Atom Pals

Playable Link: https://mdj1208.itch.io/atom-pals

Platform: Browser (phone or desktop)

Description: Atom Pals is a cozy virtual pet game that runs in your browser. You hatch a little pet, name it, and raise it. Feed it, pet it, play catch with it, and find the one spot it likes being tickled. It grows up through four stages, and when it's ready it curls into a cocoon and hatches into its next form right in front of you.

You can race it on land, in the water and in the sky, play a couple of mini-games for coins, and spend them in the shop on food, toys and outfits. Every pet has its own colour and personality.

The garden keeps going while you're away, so when you come back your pet has been off doing its own thing. There's a cozy mode where nothing bad can happen, and a devoted mode with real stakes if you want them.

Free to Play Status: [x] Free to play

Involvement: Solo project. I came up with the game and made every design decision, and built it using AI coding tools since I don't have a coding background.

Let me know what you guys think

A little puzzle-adventure in Unity, slightly inspired by The Little Prince and creature collection games.

One of the main mechanics is collecting tiny creatures called Lumis, which can transform into different things to help you explore the world.

One of the challenges has been designing puzzles around these abilities while keeping the game accessible and more importantly, low stress. We're also trying to tell the story without relying on dialogue, so the player needs to understand a lot through animations and environmental cues.

If this looks like your kind of game, you can wishlist A Burning Star on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4120640/A_Burning_Star/

Here's some footage of what we've built so far.
