Let's Indie Game Development - post your own!

I noticed there isn't really a general game development thread around, so here's one.
Are you making anything? Let's see it!

I've been making a game called Deus Vault. It's my first one, but I'm gonna see it to completion no matter what.
Might look dopey but I already put in too many hours to give up now.

Anyway, it's a simple Roguelite, which is real-time BUT all the characters are fixed to a grid. (Think Megaman Battle Network).
You play as a crusader going into an ancient temple, fighting a host of enemies.

Tried to make the focus on timing, and stamina\cooldown management.

I reached the point where I can finally say the game is kind of content-complete, and all that's left to add is a final boss and then a shitload of polishing.
And sound effects.
And music.
And animated sprites.



I might still have to do a lot of work, but I won't give up! (Mainly because I want to ditch this fucking Love2D engine and try Gamemaker and Unity instead.)
Will post a video of some gameplay once I get a computer which isn't garbage.

I'd love to be able to design games, but I wouldn't know where to start.

It can be fun! Having a creative outlet is nice.

With all the tools & tutorials nowdays, it's really easy. Just grab Gamemaker, some assets from https://opengameart.org/ and you're pretty much good to go.
There's also www.beepbox.co for music, and http://labbed.net/software/labchirp/ for simple sound effects!
