Indie Game Sim

Indie Game Sim, developed and published by Valadria, is an unusual take on the simulation genre that focuses less on spreadsheets and optimization and more on the personal journey of creating something meaningful. Instead of presenting game development as a clean, system-driven process, it frames it as a mix of experimentation, uncertainty, and emotional investment. You are not just managing resources or chasing profits—you are navigating the highs and lows of creativity, where success and failure feel tied not only to your decisions but to your persistence and mindset. The core loop revolves around designing small games using a simplified in-game system, releasing them to a fictional audience, and reacting to the feedback that follows. Each release becomes a learning opportunity, pushing you to refine your approach and try new ideas.

Good game, this game encourages me to take up game development. My only complaint would be the achievements aren't unlocking like it should, gameplay wise its fine.

Achievments don't seem to work but else it is a fine game!

This is an awesome game that tells a message through gameplay. When building levels, not only do you have to balance all different aspects of game design to make money, you get to actually feel what it's like to have money as such a large constraint on the development process. It does a really good job of telling what seems to be a very personal story. Plus, it's just straight up fun! Ever since I read their tutorial about HTML 5 game development when I was 11 years old, I have been a HUGE fan of Lost Decade Games. They're a great studio who really care about the indie game scene.
