A new game has been added!

Hey everyone- Talon's Blade just updated with a bunch of new content! If you haven't checked this one out, you should do so. :)

I wanted to mention a couple of new games added to the master list of Purdue developed games:

Dungeons and Doors, from ExpiredJam on Itch.IO.
Penta and Sent's quest, from PeteLavaDigger on Itch.IO.

Check these games out (for for Fall 2024 students in 105, you can do this as part of the bonus assignment!)

Hello everyone,

I am so proud to announce that Talon's Blade, a tactical swordplay game from Soulware (indie developer made up of Purdue game development graduates) is now available for purchase via early access.

I have been myself playing through the game, and I am astonished by the polish achieved by a small group of very hard working individuals. This game began its life as a summer project in between semesters, then as a senior capstone, and then several years of steadfast development post-Purdue.

The work ethic and craft that it takes to get a large scale project to this level of polish cannot be underestimated. PLEASE check it out. There is a demo available!

Hello everyone!

We started this group because simply put, we've had a few student releases on steam (yay!) and we want to be able to amplify and promote these games. And since most of us are on steam, it is also an opportunity to create another community space for game makers at Purdue.

Right now the *best* way to support PurdueGameDev on steam is to play and review (positively!) Purdue games on steam.

You should be able to see "associated games" in the group. These represent our current library of Purdue-created games (that are published on steam). I'm always checking to see if any have been missed; if I find any, they'll be added.

Sonata Theory and War Smith are both on steam! PLAY THESE GAMES AND REVIEW THEM! The more people play and review games, the more they get boosted in the steam algorithms. It is also so gratifying for the creators of these games. I also encourage you to post fun stuff on their community pages: screen-shots, guides, all that fun stuff.

For those of you that are currently working on games at Purdue, I hope this inspires you to take that extra step and publish on steam!
