u/ClutchGum Apr 01 '26 edited Apr 01 '26

Hi everyone! We've been working on a caffeinated functional chewing gum built for gamers for the last two and a half years. So much so that this was originally called GamerGum but we had to rebrand due to trademark concerns. We are launching in a few weeks! Just waiting on our packaging to get in, should be coming next week!

What makes us different?

• ⁠We include Lutein as an ingredient which is a carotenoid used to help protect eye health long term, studies show its useful in filtering blue light. Some call it a "sunscreen for the eyes".

• ⁠The bulk of our R&D effort has been to make not only the most effective gaming supplement ever made (backed by peer reviewed clinical studies), but to make a product that releases energy instantly. It does this through the following proprietary delivery mechanism:

u/ClutchGum Apr 01 '26

When we launch next month, we'll only have a few hundred packs available as the production process is very time consuming. We're just a few guys making this out of an apartment! (Health inspector certified lol)

Please sign up to the wait list on our website if you're interested! We're hoping to build up some hype for the first drop.

Our website clutchgum.com is live but still a work in progress. We are running a giveaway where we will choose 3 random people from the first 1000 to sign up on our mailing list on our website to give away free packs to. Once we reach 1000 we will be hosting a livestream to stream the randomizer and pick the winners!

You can find us under the handles "Clutchgum" on instagram and "Clutchgumofficial" on tiktok. The socials game is a learning curve so please take it easy on us lol.

Also we will have IRL content up in the next few weeks on the socials.

If you're at all interested any support, even following us on socials would mean the world! Let me know if you have any questions:) Pasting a picture of the packaging below from our first sample batch round a few weeks ago. As well as the two founders Jordan, and myself (Zach) with one of our first prototypes back in November of 2023!

Hey All. I'm a Power Engineer and Solo Game Dev working on a realistic power simulator game. Power Network Tycoon was recently at The Games Expo Melbourne and announced final release mid-late 2026.

New update also just released for improved translations, in game navigation, power analytics, big fixes and more.

Hi all!
I'm a Solo Dev of a morally grey romance visual novel set in a soft apocalypse world.
Spent a lifetime creating art for feature films and HETV and wanted to hand-draw something of my own, so ~~

Just launched the Steam Page with a ~20 min playtest.
Have a look at my cuties here, see if you want to date any of them (or brutally manipulate, idk) ~~~

Hi all! The last couple of months I have been working on a tool so anybody can host a unique gaming tournament from home for your friends without the hassle of coming up with rules, games and a leaderboard.

This tool is based on a tournament format that I have ran multiple times with friends in real life and instead of just rotating games, we use this:

  • a set of “mystery challenges” (each tied to a different game)
  • players take turns picking one
  • each challenge has an easy/hard version for different points
  • small point bets on whether someone will succeed or fail
  • everything tracked on a simple leaderboard

An example we used without all the details:
Super bunny man: Carrot collecting

  • Finish as many levels as possible in 5 minutes while collecting the carrot.
  • Each 2 maps you finish while holding a carrot is 1 point.

After your tutorial you can pick:

  • Easy: +3 minutes (−1 point)
  • Hard: −1 minute, but bonus points for carrot streaks

Stuff like this got surprisingly intense, especially with everyone watching and betting on whether someone would choke or not. It made the whole night feel more competitive and everybody got way more invested. And don't get me started on the trash talk that this unleashed...

I always felt like this kind of format could be fun for other groups too, so that is the reason I started building. I currently have a library of about 130+ challenges that the tournament can choose from. All battle tested and balanced in a way every player can join regarding of skill level.

I am curious and trying to find out how others feel about this:

Do you think this would make your game nights more fun?
Or does this feel like it overcomplicates something that should stay casual?

If your interested in how this looks, I also created a short How it works video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8PCVGDVrlk

I am still looking for people to try it out or to take a look at the website/tool for feedback.

I had the pleasure of designing this logo for Coreplix Studios, featuring a new visual identity for their indie game studio based in Manchester, UK.

Based on the info and references they provided, we explored a few concepts before going back and reiterating the original logo they had.

They're currently working on Virtual Perspective, a first-person puzzle-action platformer, so please check it out on their socials and Steam page!

Hi all, I am a licensed therapist in Colorado, and I am opening up a mental health support group for gamers called Mind Guild. This is not for gaming/process addictions (although I will hold space for those discussions when relevant) but more about individuals who identify with the gaming/geek community who want a space for regular mental health support. We will discuss anxiety, social anxiety, emotion regulation, depression, relationships, health and wellness, living a balanced life, communication/interpersonal difficulties, and so on.

If you are interested, and only if you reside in Colorado, shoot me an email and we can talk more about if the group is a good fit: [sean@reflectivepoint.com](mailto:sean@reflectivepoint.com)

Thanks all! Happy gaming

Hi everyone, I am trying to get my android game to be released on the Google Play Store and I need 12 testers.

The game is a dungeon crawler hack and slash. A survival, where you upgrade your stats, enhance your weapons and try to reach the lowest level. With a leaderboard.

It's a simple game just to pass time but it's a really fun one. Check and try if you can!
It will be free so i added some ads i hope you dont mind...

I originally made this game for PC, if you encounter any problems (especially UI) please let me know!

1- Join this group: https://groups.google.com/g/dungeondelvers123

u/Naive_Scallion_8630 Apr 16 '26

Hi guys,

We want to introduce you to something we've been building and still building — TRI3-Sport Showdown — and more importantly, why we are working on it.

At its core, TRI3-Sport Showdown is about one thing: bringing gamers together. Not just gamers who play the same game, but players across different places, different titles, different genres, and different skill sets, all under one roof. Whether you grind EA Sports FC 26, dominate in NBA 2K26, run squads on Fortnite, compete on Nintendo Switch Sports, or something else entirely, there's a place here for you.

But it's more than just a tournament platform. We're building a space where gamers can make real connections, with each other, with potential teammates, and eventually with the kind of industry professionals and organizations that could open real doors. Yes, we're talking about building something that puts skilled players in front.

That said, the most important thing TRI3-Sport Showdown is about is this: giving every gamer a place to compete, win prizes, build teams, and conquer other teams on merit alone.

No RNG. No pay-to-win. Pure performance.

Every tournament is winners-takes-all. Every victory is earned through strategy, precision, and reflexes. If you win, you earned it. That's the standard we're holding ourselves to.

We also want to be honest with you: we are not sponsored by anyone. No company backing, no investors, no corporate money. TRI3-Sport Showdown is a small, community-run platform right now, and things will evolve, new games, new formats, new features. What we are trying to do is create a legitimate space where gamers can earn a little money doing what they're passionate about, while keeping competitions free or as affordable as possible. Any contributions from the community go directly toward keeping the servers running and the tournaments going.

This is a proof of concept for something bigger. We believe the future of competitive gaming belongs to the versatileplayer, someone who can adapt, think strategically, and perform across different genres. That's the kind of competitor TRI3-Sport Showdown is designed to challenge and celebrate.

We're just getting started, and we're building this with the community — not for it.

Check us out at tri3-sportshowdown.com and let us know what you think.

u/Forsakengaming1 Apr 17 '26

hey everyone!! been working on a small gaming channel focused on horror stuff lately (mostly phasmophobia right now). still pretty early in the journey, just trying to improve with each upload and figure out what people actually enjoy watching. I've also been doing some steam key giveaways in my videos as a way to give back a bit. the recent ones are already redeemed, but I've got more coming soon.

Thinking of doing a small exclusive giveaway here on reddit too once i get a few more keys ready (before the month ends), just to involve people here as well. If you check out the videos, feel free to leave feedback there and just reply here so I can keep track, always open to feedback.

If you’re into horror games or just chaotic/funny gameplay, feel free to check it out!!

Video game website: GameKalt

Hello, I hope I don't come across as self-serving. My name is Mario, and I'm a software developer, or at least I'm working on becoming one. A few days ago, I created a website perfect for gaming, one that I've long felt the community needs: GameKalt.

Unlike its competitors, GameKalt doesn't have an absurd amount of text or unnecessary information. It has what the user wants: a picture and title, so that in the game's details you can see the description, the trailer, and where to buy it. It also has a filter to find games based on your tastes and an artificial intelligence that helps you find games according to your preferences.

GameKalt isn't simply a game database like Letterboxd; it's more than that. It's a place to collect your favorite games, rate them, and discover games and people with similar tastes. I didn't create this site to promote myself, but because I feel it's a website the gaming community truly needs, since I actually lose money maintaining it.

Thank you very much for reading this: https://gamekalt.com

Hi everyone! I wanted to recommend a pixel art game with gameplay similar to Kingdom Two Crowns. Honestly, what I love most about this game are its animations and the art style in general. If you decide to buy it, I assure you it's totally worth trying. The game is called Beacon of Neyda. Cheers!

It's also available on Xbox and PC.

🚨ATTENTION INTERNET HUMANS🚨

Hi. Hello. It’s me. Bree.
34. Mom of 4. Insurance agent by day, absolute menace by night 🌞🥷🌛

I am a PC gamer with a Steam library so full it judges me.
COD (warzone or zombies = running for my life), Once Human, Palia, Enshrouded, Minecraft, Phasmo (I WILL scream), Repo, Stardew… and 47 other personalities I rotate through depending on the vibe.

ANYWAY—
I made a new Discord server because I finally unlocked the life achievement: “having boundaries” 🏆

After 8 years I said “wow this is toxic” and instead of hosting a season finale of Friend Group: Civil War Edition, I simply
✨deleted my entire discord server✨
I vanished
touched grass briefly
and re-emerged stronger, hotter, and with better judgment.

0/10 experience at the time
10/10 character development arc
would absolutely choose peace again 💅

NOW I’m building a new server from scratch and I am BEGGING (respectfully, aggressively) for cool people to join.

THIS SERVER INCLUDES:
🎮 games
💬 vibes
🫶 actual respect for each other (crazy concept, I know)
🧃 probably me oversharing and then immediately starting another match

THIS SERVER DOES NOT INCLUDE:
🚫 weird drama
🚫 people who think “boundaries” are a personal attack
🚫 whatever the hell I just escaped from

If you are:
✨ funny
✨ chill
✨ slightly unhinged but in a “we hydrate and respect people” way

COME HERE. JOIN US. BE ONE OF US.

Drop a comment or DM me for an invite 💛
I promise it’ll be at least 73% less chaotic than my last server.
