I am the developer of World of Frontiers. After checking the first upgrades, I wanted to show a progression option that is about leading a small squad.

My last diary checked the first ship upgrades without real-money purchases. For this follow-up I kept the same level-1 Wren pilot and tried a different kind of progress: inviting a small AI squad.

In the local development test, two eligible Helios pilots joined the group. The wallet stayed at 1,667 Credits and 9 Nova. Invitations cost neither currency and require no Premium. This is something a starter pilot can already try; it is not a later hull unlock.

Here is the design behind it:

• You invite available pilots from your own faction through the Fleet panel. Eligibility checks their ship, level and combat strength against your progress.

• The group leader can order them to follow, attack a selected target, defend, hunt nearby NPCs, gather, hold position or recall.

• Small groups can have two AI companions. With three or more human players, that drops to one; companions occupy normal group slots.

• Gathering fills the AI pilot’s own cargo. An unattended AI-only kill does not give the human pilot kill rewards. Human combat participation matters.

I want a first squad to add decisions beyond buying a larger damage number: when to stay together, pick a target or pull back. These are explicitly labelled, built-in AI pilots, and they are not counted as human players online. Player-run account automation is a separate issue.

This short check shows recruitment and control options, not a measured advantage in Credits per hour or proof of endgame balance. WoF still has optional purchases: Nova is earnable or purchasable and buys equipment/ammunition; Premium includes +10% Credits/XP.

The clip combines normal-speed starter gameplay from the previous test with new screenshots of the squad, labelled on screen. Music: our original “Schattenprotokoll,” changed from the last diary. Development and some assets use AI assistance.

Which command would you use most: attack my target, defend me, hold position or recall?

Hey everyone! 👋
Our early playable Windows demo is available on itch.io! 👻

We're Aurora Studio, an indie game development team based in Hong Kong, and we'd like to introduce our upcoming horror adventure, Revenant of Tsushima (津島・魂鬼).

Set along Japan's historic Tōkaidō during the Edo period, the game follows Tsushima Mewa, a shrine maiden investigating supernatural mysteries, haunted shrines, and encounters inspired by Japanese folklore.

👻 What to expect:

• First-person supernatural horror built in Unreal Engine 5
• Ether Sight, a mechanic for revealing hidden spiritual traces
• Spirit encounters, purification rituals, and paranormal investigation
• Atmospheric exploration of Edo-period post towns and shrines
• Story-driven horror focused on mystery rather than constant combat

🚧 Development Status: Playable Windows prototype completed. We're currently refining gameplay mechanics, atmosphere, and performance.

🎮 Play the early demo:

The game is still in development, and we'd love your feedback! 👻

ONE RULE SET - INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

TILEZ — A Creative Logic Sandbox

Paint tiles onto an unlimited grid and build anything you can imagine.

Every tile is a tiny machine. Tiles generate and share power, send signals, and tell other tiles what to do. Customize their size and appearance with images, visual effects, and sounds.

Tiles can store information, check conditions, make decisions, and react to the world around them. They can push, pull, grab, move other tiles - and even control the camera.

Every tile follows the same rules. Combine them to create complex machines, puzzles, games, factories, animations, interactive tutorials, working computers, or anything you can imagine!

NO CODING - JUST TILES - CAUSE AND EFFECT

Hey everyone!

We're a small indie team working on Puck'n Hell, a physics based arcade air hockey game set in limbo.

You'll face five unique opponents, each with their own playstyle and special shots. Every match comes down to your timing, reactions and how well you can read the puck. No scripted wins or cheating AI.

The game also features online 1v1 PvP if you'd rather challenge another player.

We're launching on October 29, and there's already a free demo available on Steam if you'd like to give it a try.

We'd love to hear what you think!

I've released Link Relay, a free daily word game built to play inside Reddit. I'm the developer at FablePointStudios.

The puzzle has four word links and one final connection. Fill a word into two familiar expressions to solve each link. After two links, you can call the connection for the highest possible rank; uncovering a third or fourth gives you more evidence. It's a deduction decision, not a speed contest.

Everyone gets one shared free Daily with a genuine leaderboard for eligible signed-in results. There are also eight separate Practice puzzles, which don't affect Daily rankings. Reddit usernames stay private unless the player chooses to show them.

Here's the playable 22 October Daily: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinkRelay/comments/1xc3iia/link_relay_20261022_utc/

If you enjoy phrase puzzles, I'd be glad to hear whether the early-call decision makes you want another round. Please don't post solutions.

The image shows the actual Practice client, captured locally during testing; its date is illustrative. No future Daily answers are included.

I'm developing ASTERIS, a solo and up to four-player online co-op action roguelite. I wanted to share this healer build: it starts out looking like the party's weakest damage dealer, then gets a very different ending.

This is recorded gameplay. Rune choices reshape skills, and your build can take a support character in a much more offensive direction.

The free Steam demo includes stages 1–3 and one co-op dungeon.

Would you keep building her for support, or lean into the damage?

hey! it's been almost a year since I started making this game, and the demo is now out on steam!

oups I dropped that: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4905190/Beyond_The_Roots/

This replaces the earlier post whose embedded video stayed stuck processing on Reddit. The gameplay and progression figures are unchanged.

I am developing World of Frontiers at FloriM Studios: a free-to-play browser space MMO inspired by DarkOrbit. For this dev diary, I wanted to show the starter economy with actual numbers and gameplay.

For this diary, I had a fresh pilot checked in the current local development build, using the normal game rules: no Premium, no purchased Nova and no admin-granted equipment. This is an early-game check, not a timed newcomer benchmark or an endgame test.

Here is the actual budget:

• Starter grant: 1,800 Credits and 5 Nova.

• October 22 daily reward: another 600 Credits and 1 Nova.

• Five NPC kills, three salvaged containers and three completed missions added 517 Credits and 3 Nova beyond those grants.

That left 2,917 Credits and 9 Nova before upgrades. A second Pulsar I laser, Aegis I shield generator and Flux I engine cost 1,250 Credits altogether. After equipping them, the hangar's damage stat went from 70 to 115, shield capacity from 500 to 850, and speed from 348 to 366 m/s. The pilot still had 1,667 Credits and all 9 Nova.

An important detail: the starter grant alone already covers those basic upgrades. This is not 1,250 Credits earned through grinding. The pilot was still level 1 with 302/1,000 XP; the next hull, Kestrel, needs level 2 and 8,500 Credits. All eight core hulls currently have Credit prices, but this small test does not establish how long the later progression takes or how competitive a free account is in PvP.

The shop also needs a clear explanation: Nova can be earned or bought and can purchase equipment and ammunition. Premium includes +10% Credits/XP and convenience benefits. Spending can accelerate progress; the shop is not cosmetic-only. I want feedback on that trade-off, not just on whether the first upgrades are affordable.

The 23-second clip contains normal-speed excerpts from this local starter test and a still of the final hangar. Music: our original “Fremde Signale,” a different track from the previous clip. Development and some assets use AI assistance.

What would make a free-progression test useful to you: the first ship unlock, equipment choices, or a longer account comparison?

I want to see steam pages or trailers or anything you think worth showing! :)
