Indie Dev Night Game List:
- Valkyrie Saga by Public Void: An open world PSX 3D Platformer set in an island in the sky. Explore, upgrade, and ascend!
- Delivery Derby by Team Delivery Derby: 3D arcade racer about delivering food fast and crazy. Randomly assigned orders that take you across a handcrafted map where you earn cash and purchase new abilities for your vehicle!
- Martian Medical by Avon: An isometric 2D classic management sim set on a new colonised Mars. Cure patients, survive martian storms and solve an ancient mystery!
- Veredilia: The Sacred Forest by Luca Gigliuto: A 2D bloody combat platforming game that takes inspiration from classic platformers on old consoles such as the Mega Drive, along with old-school beat-em-ups and fighting games combined.
- On The Hearth by Earl Grimm Games: A narratively driven mystery game, blending crafting and community as tools of deduction. Left to guide your rag-tag villagers after the strange disappearance of your mentor, you'll band together with them to resist an encroaching church-led inquisition. Decode your mentor's grimoire and expand your knowledge as you solve the myriad of mysteries surrounding your mentor, your village, and the rising tensions of an inbound crusade.
- Yum Cha (and other yummy games) by Quokka Games: Yum Cha is a cute little card game based on everyone's favourite Chinese brunch, also known as Dim Sum. The objective of this casual card game is to accumulate the most points so that you get the honour of paying the bill.
- Fish Fish by Piers: A couch versus, arena combat rhythm game where everything happens on beat. Pick up attacks and power ups that get added to your rhythm, and take down your opponents as the song loops around.
- Cyber Buglets by Team Buglet: A single player experience that presents itself as a dead virtual pets community from the 2000’s. Years after its closure, a popular 2000’s virtual pet game suddenly shudders back to life. You’ve been hired by the parent company to shut it down from the inside - but some things refuse to be forgotten.
