It's taking attention away from real game developers, whose ideas, and content are stolen by these programs to generate new games. It's one thing when one or two elements are generated by AI, but when everything in the images, or videos shown promoting the game are generated by AI it shouldn't be here. We're a community that is all about playing games with real people, AI games make a mockery of that.

It's just sad that almost half the posts I see on here now are painfully obviously AI generated. From the menus, to the text, to the music, and all the images of characters, or backgrounds, absolutely everything.

It doesn't matter if the "developer" states that AI was used to make the game, or not, we're all here because we want to play games with humans, not computers. These posts are constantly sitting at 0-3 upvotes, so I think it's pretty obvious the community doesn't want them here. So, mods please make a rule banning them.

Everyone else scans the QR code on the TV and plays in their phone browser. No app, no account, no controllers. Friends who aren't in the room join with the code, so it works over Discord too (Tho, you'll need to screen share!)

Same grid for everyone, 60 seconds, live scores, live feedback on the TV. The end screen shows every word you all missed!

English, French, Spanish, Italian or German. The demo is free on Steam, and the full game is out 27 October: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4801680/

How many people do you usually get on game night? Should I make a special 4- or 8-player mode? I might have gone a bit overboard with the possible player count (up to 300 seems fine; I didn't test past that...)

Classic snakes & ladders is pure luck based, you just roll the dice and hope for the best. but i thought what if we add a bit strategy in it

So i made Climb & Bite. it's made for playing together on one phone, you just pass it around, up to 4 players. the board starts empty and players build it. Half the blocks has ladder or snake to pick up. once you get it then on your turn you can use it before you roll.

so now it's not just luck. the snakes you place can hurt others but yourself as well. same for ladder. so each snake and ladder is carefully placed to target the people sitting next to you. that makes it much harder to avoid

after some initial test i also added Power cards that gives players some perks like Protection against snakes for next turn, making opponents walk backward for 2 turns or just skip the whole turn etc.

it also has online rooms and a vs computer mode, plus themed boards, dice and chips in the shop.

Note: it's in pre-registration right now. Full release is in early November, and the first 100 people who sign in with Google get an exclusive Diwali set: a board, chips, dice and music.

AI use note: i used AI to make ART and a bit of code for the game. but the core idea is still original

Happy to answer anything about the game.

My son and I made a Smash-style party fighter for our family's game nights, starring his real stuffed animals. It's built for playing together, and it's completely free: no ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions.

**How you can play together:**

- **Couch on the Apple TV:** up to 4 players on one screen with game controllers (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro or MFi pads). A gamepad is needed on the TV.

- **Mix the TV and iPads:** someone on the couch with a controller and someone on an iPad or iPhone with touch controls can be in the same match, as long as you're on the same Wi-Fi. No extra controllers needed.

- **One iPad, several players:** plug in controllers and share the screen, or play with touch.

- **Fill empty seats with computer players** from Baby to Pro, so a little kid and a grown-up can play the same match and both have fun.

- **Team up in the story:** two players can play the story mode together, on the couch or across devices.

**The game:** 16 plush fighters, each with its own moves, special, super and shield (the dog hides in a crate, the budgie in a birdcage, the bee in a beehive). Rack up damage, then launch someone off the screen. A big smash is a "ONE SHOT!", which my son named and which the game shouts in his voice. The stages are rooms in our house: beds, kitchen counters, the porch and the bathtub.

For October it's the Halloween Edition: every toy wears a costume and there's a new Haunted Porch stage.

Out now on Apple TV, iPhone and iPad. A Steam version is coming soon.

We'd love to hear how it plays with your group, and what we should add next.

I'm helping the Claymatic Games team share Knuckle Creek with the world, and today’s a pretty big day for them. After seven years of development, they’ve finally announced that it’s coming to Steam on 29 October.

It’s a party brawler for up to eight players, with customisable characters, slapstick fights and quite a lot of throwing chickens at your friends.

The team have settled on $5.99 / £4.79 / €5.79, after a lot of going back and forth. They wanted people to be able to pick it up and get their mates involved without it being a big expense. After looking at similar games and talking it over, this felt right.

Anyway, here’s the trailer. I’m really pleased to help them get it out there.🥰

I need some game rec for two people. We been playing overcooked 2 but I want to keep playing on my switch with my husband. He loves action and loves sparking. I have the switch 2

Hi everyone! 👋

I've been working on a mobile hub called Multi Games that brings together a large collection of classic board games, retro arcade titles, and casual time-killers in a single, lightweight package.

Whether you want to play solo against smart AI, challenge a friend locally on the same screen, or hop into real-time online rooms, everything is seamlessly integrated.

Key Highlights:

🎮 Real-time Online Multiplayer: Instant room codes to invite and play with friends online.

👥 Pass & Play / 2-Player Local: Great for road trips or playing on the couch.

💾 Auto-Save & Resume: Exit anytime; your progress, high scores, and game boards persist automatically.

A quick look at the collection (25+ Games):

• Classic & Board: Chess, Ludo, Connect Four, Solitaire, Tic Tac Toe

• Arcade & Action: Cyber Runner, Neon Wormhole, Tank War, Blade Tower, Hex Dodge, Ball Blast, Tetris

• Sports & Casual: Go Fish, Ice Hockey, Button Football, Griddy Football

• Brain & Numbers: 2048 Rush, Ten Master, Minesweeper, Color Match, Memory Cards, Lights Out, Slide Puzzle

• Fun Casual: Kebab Master, Whack a Mole, Perfect Circle, Time Stop

I focused heavily on a clean, responsive UI with smooth physics and tactile animations. I would love to get your honest feedback on game feel, multiplayer stability, and what games we should add next.

Hi all, today I launched the Demo on Steam! Find dogs hidden in real museum paintings, solo, in split-screen or online. I'd love to hear your feedback, thank you!

Hi! I'm the dev of VEKARRA. You build a party of four and descend together through procedural maps, with active-time battles where you read enemy telegraphs and break their charges. It plays solo or 2-player local co-op on the same couch (local only).

Wishlist on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5009280/VEKARRA/

AI disclosure: AI Assisted - Code, Graphics, Sounds, Text (human-curated pipeline; no AI content generated during play).

We added chicken to our co-op tandem biking rage game Tandem Together!

Right now it just gets in the way of your bike. Should it drop explosive eggs? Chase you down? Any fun ideas?

well, normaly on windows this wouldnt work, because even if you have two different devices, windows sees it as one, my program fixes that by creating a "fake" mouse and keyboard inputs. but why would you need this? i dont know, play a game with your friend if you dont have a controller and only one pc. and also, you can for example; run two instances of minecraft and you can both play at the same time in two different windows.

tip: for taht to work you need to assingn a process to thw second player so it wont bg, and you need to set the mouse mode of the second player for "BOTH", but thats only for minecraft wich was the main reason i made this.

its open source so feel free to change the code however you like it, and i also dont are if you make a spin off version of this, i made it to help gamers and be fun.

heres the link:

https://github.com/kodecsomedev-code/CoopInput

Play: hearthsea.com (browser, on phone, tablet or desktop; nothing to install)

Local play on one device: set any seat to "Friend here" and pass the device each turn. Before every player's turn a screen says "Pass the device to Sam, everyone else look away", so each hand stays hidden; when two people at the table trade, the device goes across and back. Mix people and bots on 2 to 6 seats, so two of you can take on a bot or six can share one tablet on game night.

Hearthsea is a settle-and-trade game on a hex island, in the same family as Catan (not affiliated with Catan GmbH). Roll for resources, trade for what you're missing, build roads and towns, and be the first to 10 points. The board is a real 3D island you can spin and zoom. There are 46 maps across three modes. Classic is the game you know. Seafarers adds ships, gold fields, a pirate and islands hidden in fog. Highlands puts cliffs on the board that you climb with mountain passes, with copper mines and a yeti on the high ground. The bots make and answer trade offers, and the hardest one (Veteran) can beat you.

Free to play with a free account: every mode and map, no daily limit.

Made with AI: the painted art comes from an image model, and much of the code was written with an AI assistant. I'm the solo developer.

For couch groups: does passing the device feel smooth, or would you rather each player use their own phone at the same table?

I love Jackbox, but I wanted something free that ran completely in the browser, that I could customize for my friend's bachelor party. I also wanted different kinds of games that used more of the phone's capabilities (like tilt and voice recording).

Open couchslop.com/host on your laptop, screenshare to the TV, scan the QR code on your phones and you are ready to go!

What's on it right now:

- Spud Ridge Defense: co-op tower defense. Between waves you answer trivia to earn gold.

- Hash It Out: write the funniest answer to a prompt, then everyone votes. The Quiplash-style one.

- Tater Racers: kart racing on split screen. You tilt your phone to steer.

- Hot Potato: bump phones to pass the potato before it blows up. (My friend's personal favorite)

- Fry Cook: co-op kitchen chaos, Overcooked-ish.

- Potato Fried Rice: a cooking show made of phone mini-games.

Game is called Skuffle and is a combo split-screen and online party FPS built in Godot. I’ve been trying to find the fun of having friends sitting on a couch, talking trash and shooting each other. Based on my love of split screen games like Perfect Dark and Timesplitters, half life custom servers and modern party games like Duck Game and Stick Fight. Maps are quick and mutator cards get picked between rounds that switch up the play map to map that range from minor to game breaking. Full game supports custom maps built in TrenchBroom (with included tools) shared via steam workshop. Demo has 50+ weapons, 10 maps, player customizations, combo online and split-screen play via both public and private games on steam. I’ve been solo developing this game for a little over 3 years (First ~6 months were really on movement\gun handling, then building out the systems for TrenchBroom and recently a lot of making maps). Been playing with different groups of friends locally and online and has been a blast. Anyway Grab the demo on Steam, grab some friends, grab a beer, and let me know what you think!

It's got online and local multiplayer multiplayer up to 4 players. Free to play.

https://spellfall.pages.dev enjoy would love any feedback I can get.

I would love to see some videos of people playing with their friends. I would poop my pants in excitement :)

Been working on my game Posterized, waiting to get my steam app id so I can put a demo up. Does anyone else miss games like this? Supports 4 player couch gaming as well as 2 player co-op against the CPU ladder.

In our online & couch co-op game Tandem Together, you and a friend have to work together to try to ride a tandem bike while we throw all kind of things your way!

The demo is currently live and it has been getting way more attention than we expected! Watching people and streamer try to beat the demo with their friends has been hilarious!

The game is already coming out in December (so in 2 months!)
Here is the Demo Link if you want to try it!

Ofc everything done without AI!

We're only a small indie team from Germany so, If you enjoyed the demo, please wishlist the game! It really helps us! Also if you have any feedback, I would love to hear it!

Hey everyone! We’re a two-person team, and we just released our first game, COLORFALL.

It’s a fast-paced, chaotic match-3 for up to 4 players on one screen, where each person can only clear their own color. When red starts piling up, everyone knows who to blame. You grab orbs and throw them back up to make matches, while jumping over each other and getting in each other’s way.

It also has online co-op and solo, so you can play however you like.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4551220/COLORFALL/

If you give it a try with your group, we’d love to hear how it goes!

For those who don't know- beamng is the most open sandbox, and simulator car/ vehicle game to exist. It's so fun. Up until now, we only had shared screen, which was really bad. But the early access showcase revealed they will add proper splitscreen in this update. WWW

Rune Runners is a 2-player coop platformer where you and your friend need to fight monsters, activate runes and join the next level with exciting boss fights, traps and puzzles.
