Our newly-released stealth & squad tactics heist RPG. If you like games like Invisible Inc, XCOM 2, Shadowrun or other tactical RPGs, I think you'll find this worth a look. We just started Early Access last month, but the game is very playable and we've already made over 20 updates adding new content and improvements.
Star Wars: Dark Forces is LucasArts’ much-loved first-person shooter originally released in 1995. This remaster, which arrives just shy of 30 years later, is in the works at Nightdive Studios, the video game restoration specialist behind the well-received System Shock remake and Turok and Quake remasters.
Doug Cockle, voice of Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher video games, is headlining a new Dungeons & Dragons actual play series called Natural Six. Announced on Monday, the 10-episode run will feature several other well known voice video game voice actors.

Hi folks! Picked up Pillars of Eternity and am planning to play through it on my Steam Deck during a recovery period in hospital. This is my first CRPG style game, and I am pretty new when it comes to fantasy settings as I have typically been more into Sci-Fi and shooters....
It's definitely worth it, but if this is your first cRPG and you're on a budget I'd at least start the game first and see if you're liking it through the first act. You can add in the DLC at any time; it will work with an existing save game.
The submission URL itself has a typo in it unfortunately, and I'd really encourage folks to browse through Next Fest and see what they can find beyond the 10 most popular ones. 🙂 Next Fest is a great event for indies, but it does suffer from Steam always seeming to set up these "rich get richer" loops where the games that came into Next Fest with the most wishlists (often from having the biggest marketing budgets), are the ones they make most visible, without providing any curation of or means for user-surfacing of lesser-known but promising titles.
I'd love to see what kind of a game dev community we have here on beehaw and help each other out. Whether you use Unreal, Unity, Godot or even your own engine, let's see what you got!
Indie dev here. Went full-time on it with my brother several years back. Currently working on our 9th game -- Cyber Knights: Flashpoint.
It's a squad tactics heist RPG. XCOM-like combat, extensive stealth options, and a cyberpunk setting & stories inspired by over a decade of tabletop RPG campaigns we've played.
This is our first game made with Unity; it's been a learning experience but feels very worth it.
Cyberpunk squad tactics RPG with stealth, gridless movement & cover, faction & reputation mechanics. http://s.team/a/1021210/ - Going to have a demo in Steam Next Fest starting on Monday.
We made one for our previous games, but have switched to Unity for our latest. As your games grow in complexity, the developer ecosystem around more popular engines is helpful for not having to build out every piece of functionality (much of which is just redoing what others have already figured out how to do better a thousand times) from scratch. It's not a silver bullet -- we are extremely picky about the code quality and performance of any plugins we use and still create our own implementations often -- but it makes a big difference.
It sounds like OP has written their own engine to do one particular thing better than any other engine; that can be cool to see if the trade-offs in the rest of the scope aren't bad.
