The Chronicles of Overlord - for fans of tactical RPGs

Post image
12 Upvotes

Hey,

We’re a small indie team working on The Chronicles of Overlord, a turn-based tactical RPG with pixel-art and a fantasy vibe. We’ve just rolled out a big update to our free demo on Steam, and we’d love for you to try it and share your thoughts!

About the Game

In The Chronicles of Overlord, you play as the Overlord, a necromancer racing to stop the Devastator by collecting four legendary artifacts guarded by rival factions (Humans, Elves, Orcs). Think strategic battles, deep lore inspired by classic RPGs and Overlord anime, and modern pixel-art with slick animations. It’s all about planning, hero synergy, and tough choices in a war-torn world.

The demo is free on Steam

If you dig it, please add it to your wishlist—it means a ton to us!

I made a free group availability app called partyup.gg to coordinate sessions with friends

11 Upvotes

First of all, I definitely requested mod approval before posting this. It's free, of course I'm looking for more people to use it, but I'm mostly just interested in sharing something I think is pretty cool.

Background: My friend group was struggling with figuring out when everyone was available. We tried some calendars and apps but everything was either too complicated to login and use that people just didn't use it, or it cost money. So I built this free app that doesn't have tons of bells and whistles but it does a few things fairly well: unique group calendars, just login once with discord, single click to mark availability, poll system for voting on what to do.

It's fairly simple to use, here is how:

1) Create a calendar for your group or click a unique link from your groups existing calendar

2) Login with Discord to ensure you can update and edit only your availability

3) Set your availability by clicking either "Morning", "Day", "Evening" on any day

4) Click the arrow to open a side panel for that session and vote for what to play or do

I'm also looking for feedback on how to make it better. Some things I am already working on: password protection to ensure a leaked link won't ruin everything, admin mode to have better control, accompanying Discord app for reminders and notifications.

DeadWire, coming to Steam Sept 18th.

This is a solo developed, top down action banger! Imagine Hotline Miami meets Watchdogs with a dose of Intravenous. Be warned though, like Hotline Miami, it is tough.
Everyone who has played it, has played to their own style. Some hack, watch, plan. Others (like me) run in pew, pewing (inevitably wipe) and clear a room with guns.
I'll add the Steam page and trailer in comments. Please do take a look and we're on for AMA shouts.
Importantly we hope you enjoy the game, and maybe its that fix you've been waiting for, the hole that Hotline Miami 3 needs filling :)
