The upgrade choices in an arena autobattler are exactly the sort of little decisions that can create wild outcomes. Not sure whether you’re still building new projects, but I’m starting Chimera Collective as an unpaid, independent way for indie devs to exchange feedback and introduce each other’s work to players. No publishing company or financial angle here. If you’re around and interested, I’m @beatbaes on Discord!
Growing gachapon from plants to stock a plushie shop is such a fun idea lol. I love seeing weird little concepts like this come out of game jams! AND THE ART AND AESTHETICS ARE SO CUTE.
Bit random, but I’m putting together Chimera Collective, a small group of indie devs who want to help each other actually reach players through playtest swaps and cross-promotion. Nothing paid or publisher-related, just devs helping each other get their games noticed.
Thought you might be interested! Feel free to hit me up on Discord @beatbaes if you’d like to chat!
Mask-based arena builds seem like they’d reward a lot of experimenting between waves. I’m not looking to pitch a service, just starting Chimera Collective so independent devs can trade playtests and help introduce good games to the right players. It’s completely free, with no publisher or financial strings attached. Discord @beatbaes if you’re open to it!
Hitting zombies with a baseball that keeps bouncing is a great piece of nonsense, and I mean that as a compliment. I’m hoping to gather a few equally experimental indie teams under Chimera Collective, mainly to swap game builds and help one another get discovered. It’s all voluntary, with no publisher or money involved, so there’s no big commitment. Reach out at @beatbaes on Discord if that sounds fun!
Fast browser shooters with upgrade combinations are underrated! I’m trying an experiment called Chimera Collective to connect indie developers who want to get their games in front of more actual players, rather than just swapping dev likes. Entirely free and no publisher involved, with reciprocal playtests as a starting point. Feel free to DM @beatbaes on Discord if you’d be interested!

Making sanity the health bar is a pretty cruel design choice, in a good way. I’m trying to bring indie devs together in Chimera Collective to swap actual playtests, then recommend games we genuinely enjoy to one another’s communities. No paid promotion or publisher behind it, just some organized mutual support. Ping @beatbaes on Discord if you’d like to talk!
Though I would chill out the high freq intro btw, that was rough at first haha
Giant robot survivor combat is already chaotic, so I appreciate the focus on keeping everything readable. I’m organizing Chimera Collective for indie developers who want to do a little more than just post into the void about their games. There’s no publisher or money involved, just straightforward playtest exchanges and opportunities to share work we actually enjoy. If your team is up for it, Discord @beatbaes!
Capturing enemy mechs and folding them into your own tactics is the kind of mechanic I wish more games explored. If you’re still building in this space, I’d love to compare notes and swap a playtest sometime. That’s the starting point for Chimera Collective, a no-money, no-publisher community of indies who want to help each other find players. I’m @beatbaes on Discord!
A compact 1v1/2v2 mech arena is a fun scope for a jam project. Are you planning to keep developing it beyond the jam? If so, I’m gathering indie developers through Chimera Collective for free playtesting and occasional cross-promotion, with no publisher or financial side to it. Discord is @beatbaes!
Realistic shell penetration and ricochet physics in a tank prototype though? That’s the detail that stood out to me.
I’m making physics-heavy indie stuff myself and thought a few of us could help each other get that kind of niche work seen. Chimera Collective is the informal, no-money, no-publisher group I’m starting to make that easier. DM @beatbaes on Discord if you want to compare playtest notes!
The greed vs survival concept fits a roguelite really well, and your rapid-project challenge is pretty ambitious too. I’m trying to connect with developers who are actively shipping games through Chimera Collective, with more emphasis on reaching real players than collecting developer followers. It’s free, entirely separate from publishing, and built around mutual support. If you’d want to swap playtests, I’m @beatbaes on Discord!
I like that you’re giving the upgrade combinations an actual leaderboard to chase. On the audience side, I’ve been wondering whether indie teams could turn some of that solo promotion into genuine recommendations between communities, so I’m putting together Chimera Collective. It’s an informal, no-money effort, definitely not a publisher. Happy to trade first impressions at @beatbaes on Discord!
Respect for putting an action-roguelike test build out there instead of waiting until everything is polished. I’ve been looking for developers at a similar stage who might want to trade feedback and eventually help each other get noticed. That’s the whole idea behind Chimera Collective, no publishing relationship or financial commitment involved. If you’re interested in exchanging builds, DM @beatbaes on Discord!
Three heroes with different loot paths gives players a good reason to keep experimenting!!! I wish more of us shared real player attention instead of just exchanging likes, so I’m starting a little indie group called Chimera Collective. The idea is free playtest swaps and honest cross-promotion, no publisher or money involved. Discord @beatbaes if you’d like to connect!
Permanent sticker upgrades are such a tangible way to make autobattler builds feel different. Quick question, would you be up for a browser-game playtest exchange? I’m pulling together Chimera Collective to connect indie devs around reaching actual players, entirely unpaid and without a publisher involved. I’m @beatbaes on Discord if so!
A wizard duel where the arena can catch fire, flood, or collapse is exactly the kind of physics chaos I enjoy. I’d rather trade honest playtests before asking anyone to promote anything, which is the approach I’m taking with Chimera Collective. It’s a casual indie group, not a publishing company, and nobody’s paying anybody. I’m @beatbaes on Discord if you’re up for swapping builds!
Elastic collisions and autobattling? That’s a pretty wild recipe for a combat system, in a good way! I’m inviting indie devs to try a little experiment called Chimera Collective, basically pooling some effort around playtesting and getting our games in front of players. No publisher, no financial arrangement, just seeing whether collaborating actually helps us all get noticed. Discord @beatbaes if you’d like to talk!
The cinematic anime duel direction gives this a really distinct identity. Do you ever do reciprocal playtests with developers working on adjacent games? I’m trying to get that going through Chimera Collective, a small unpaid indie group with no publisher involved, where we can eventually help promote each other’s projects. You can DM me at @beatbaes on Discord if you’d be up for it!
The evolving skills and different combinations look like they could produce some ridiculous runs. One thing I’m trying outside development is Chimera Collective, getting indie devs to actually play each other’s games and help the good ones find an audience. It’s free, independent of any publisher, and there’s no obligation to promote something you don’t enjoy. If that sounds useful, send me a Discord note at @beatbaes!
Mech drafting into autobattler rankings is an interesting combination, especially with the whole game playable in-browser. Slightly off-topic, but I’m organizing Chimera Collective for devs who want to take getting their games discovered a bit more seriously. It’s completely informal and unpaid, nothing to do with publishing, just trading playtests and recommending projects we genuinely like. I’m @beatbaes on Discord if that sounds interesting!
Really digging the underground competition vibe and presentation here. I’ve been thinking games with overlapping audiences could get a lot further if their developers actually worked together on discovery, so I’m starting Chimera Collective. No publishing deals, no money involved, just a few indies helping each other find players. Would be cool to swap playtests sometime, Discord @beatbaes!
Six heroes with different builds in a browser demo is pretty ambitious! Curious, have you been doing much to get feedback from players outside the usual dev circles? I’m getting Chimera Collective off the ground for exactly that, basically a free, publisher-independent network for playtest exchanges and cross-promotion. Feel free to hit me up on Discord at @beatbaes if you’re interested.
The way Neuroshift ties abilities directly to mech parts is what caught my attention. I’m working on a little initiative called Chimera Collective where indie devs can swap playtests and help each other get their games seen by actual players. Nothing paid or publisher-related, just independent devs working together. If you’d like to compare notes, I’m @beatbaes on Discord!
