/indie/ - Indie and Obscure Games General

We generally take a while to get everyone so if we survive a night we tend to do pretty well, but a night can cause us to die if there aren't enough bumps.

The new challenge beacons are 10/10

It feels like the gravity was lowered from grow home, or maybe its just me.

Or better yet, what's indie drawin?

God I loved the first game. How does the new one rate compared to the first one don't mind me asking?

Some moth person for that slug game I still need to learn to program for.

Whats the slug game about? Also post it

Sorry that I always talk about this thing I'm trying to make. It's probably going to be a story driven point and click. I was sorta wanting to make it a sorta choose your own adventure thing too. At the same time I worry about being a bit over my head too. One thing I really wanted to do was make it take place over a set amount of days as well, sorta like a majora's mask system mixed with harvest moon a wonderful life. The problem is that it seems like that would conflict with the whole "point and click choose your adventure game" idea so I was thinking of how to make the two work together. I really do need to learn more about how to use game maker to get a better grasp on what I probably will be able to do though so I don't get even more over my head than I already am. Also sorry again for sorta always talking about this game considering how it's mostly conceptual and all. Also the moth isn't near finished so it's sorta bad too so sorry about that as well.

Why not allow the player to be given certain actions that take up certain amounts of time to do, and then give a limit to how much time can be used up per day? This way players will have more weight to their options, and really have to value what they can, or want, to do per day?

Also thats a nice moth for what its worth

Is he for sexual?

I'm afraid that the game is too much like the original to really be a sequel.
Is it worth it?

Alex did nothing wrong

That's what I was wanting to do but the problem is that it would probably be difficult to actually program all those events in if it's both not a singular narrative and if the game has a limited number of days. Along with this the problem is that the player doesn't have a reset button like in majora so if they miss something they'd probably either have to save scum or replay the entire game again just to get to a certain point, which I don't like the idea of unless I can somehow make it easy on the player or make it entertaining, which I doubt I could. Along with this I'd have to find out a way to make the game easily replayable. I was sorta thinking of making maybe some main stories and subplots that are independent to each other, like you can have the same main plot but with different or no sub plots depending on what you do or vise versa. Another problem I have is when the player gets their first playthrough. ALong with this I'm thinking about how the player will deal with sleep if they even have to, possible game overs from things like suiciding off of cliffs or some other stupid stuff, if a player just sits in their room how would the world continue without them, and so on. Sorry for rambling and stuff.

Are you an insectual?

moth people are cuties

Who's the best video game moth?

entire 3d globe to explore instead of the one beach. Instead of growing a start plant the goal of the game is to collect all of MOM's ship pieces

the parachute and glider are things you learn instead items you pick up

the big new mechanic is you can place plants around to map to give you boosts and access to other places.

If you liked grow home you'll like this one too.

Oh wow that sounds amazing! I'm not the only one who just liked to jump on buds and let them auto grow over and over to create like a tangling mess of vines right?

There's two starplants on opposite sides of the planets, right now im trying to make the vines touch

So like is it far larger than the last game or is the planet actually not all that large?

I don't know too many.

I blame all the butterflies, they're stealing the moth's spotlights.

Waaay bigger, takes about 1-2 minutes of gliding to reach the other side of the planet, depending on how high in the atmosphere you are.

jesus, so is it like even filled with things to do then or is it open world like just for the sake of filling ubisoft's "everything must be open world esc" quota?

somebody had recommended underhell in the last thread and i have to say, thank you so much for recommending it. it was such an enjoyable experience.

What's underhell?

How self aware is thecatamites?

this is how it was described in the last thread to me "a shooter similar to fear but makes an attempt at a spooky storyline which isnt half bad. Its a free source mod
"

There's the crystals to collect like last time.
, but you also explore to find your moves like parachute and gliding and metroid ball. Theres mom's ship pieces too.

But the fun part is the Challenge beacons, they're timed obstacle courses where you must go zone to zone in a certain amount of time. If you mess up and fall you can just press a button or kill yourself and get right back to the beginning of the challenge.

I'll be honest and say there are quite a bit of floating rocks with nothing interesting on them though, but maybe their used in long challenge beacons, idk.

pic related of one of the challenges

He's pretty self aware.

Jesus I need this game, how much is it don't mind me asking?

Does DF fit in here?

It's an indie game, isn't it?

What's DF?

>The dashbored steam page
THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN

Link? What did he do?

Tiddy

Oh my god. I wonder how many people are actually going to fall for the click bait tiddy.

How do I make fishing in subnautica less tedious

$10

DOn't mind me asking but you ever find those prototype dashbored files Karbonics?

Dwarf Fortress

Buddy grows up in a normal world with no mom, raised by Yado, and becomes friends with Bernard. Yado Lisa the Firsts Buddy and Bernard kills himself once he realized hes been put in the same position as Brad and regrets his actions.
Brad and Dusty become international karate legends

Sure if it doesn't have another general it can go to.

Wait why would Buddy kill herself?

Kek. Hope enough waifufags fall for it.

The only true waifu that belongs on the title card is Alex

Thanks for reminding me.
Looking for it now.
He never protected best waifu and now she's """Dead""". Every problem in the game is almost always indirectly his faultstill best boi

Why do I impulsively read spoilered text

The mystery is tantalizing.

What does indie think of Shelter 1 and 2?

Playing Lisa for the first time. I just go to the Buzzo part in the cave.

My choice is my arm or Terry. What should I do

Remove Terry, don't let memelords tell you otherwise

Idk any memes for this game yet; other than him, I have Nern and Olan and Terry's the only other person I've leveled up along with them. Do I lose anything by sacrificing my arm? Or is it possible to kill Buzzo?

Yeah nvm I tried fighting him. I gave my arm up.We'll see how this goes.

Terry has some really good tricks but you don't need him. But he ad shocklord best husbandoes

you can't do the fun armstrong style combos
son of a bitch...

Terry is shit, you should abandon him for Birdie (while keeping Olan and Nern).

Fun fact, that fight's unwinnable and if you somehow do you get a game over.

Which one is Birdie? Rooster guy? If not I don't have him.

And I'm sorry guys, I savescummed. First save no arm, second save both arms but not Terry. I'm going through with the no arm one though. I wanna protect that fucking loser.

Birdie's an alcoholic who gets really good attack where he spits alcohol on enemies, making them very weak to things that are fire based attacks.

Wandering around Underrail aimlessly is fun and all, but the wall some of the maps link up is kind of weird.

>The place you start off is about 10 floors high
>at the top floor, you can go where you powered up the stations in your first mission, and in just a map or two, you wind up at a map that you access from the bottom (the place where the raiders were keeping the people in the 3rd mission prisoner.)

I managed to find how to get from South Gate to Railroad Crossing on food, but not Foundry or Core City yet. I'll probably take a train to those places and wander around too. Or maybe just do the Foundry Missions. I still gotta kill Balor and deal with the beast.

It's hard to tell since everyone in the story is strongly shaped by the events in their background.

But if no Apocalypse was the only difference:

>Dr Yado wouldn't have any use for Buddy as a pawn to collapse what remains of society, would probably just go to jail or executed for crimes against humanity if joy was still a thing
>Buddy would be raised by her mom and turn out to be a normal little girl
>Brad would still have a grudge towards his dad and emotional baggage from his sisters suicide. This past would haunt from for the rest of his life until he dies of a drug overdose or just kills himself.
>Buzzo would still hate Brad. Buzzo probably wouldn't chop Rando's face off, but if he did he'd get caught and go to jail.
>I recall Dingaling mentioning Rando was an orphan, so he'd probably go back into fostercare if he was still a child when Brad died

I thought buzzo got rando before the apocalypse though?

Did that one user ever get past the frog king?

Oh hey, that's me
I haven't actually booted up DashBored in a bit because I'm too busy trying to crank out furry erotica for money

no bully

Got a tumblr?

Nope, it's actually more of a test run of sorts since I've never done it before

Client seems to like the work I've done for him so far though so maybe in the future I will

So you don't have any place you post your art at then don't mind me asking?

I see Momodora's having a Steam sale. Can anyone here vouch for its quality?

Is it worth $7?

Oh no, it's not art. It's writing.

I do have an FA, though.

Momodora 3 or 4?

4, I think. Reverie Under the Moonlight.

I actually forgot written porn existed honestly. Also you MIGHT get in trouble for posting a FA link so you might not wanna do that, no offense.

It might be a dumb question,but how important is money in Stardew Valley after the first 3 months?

Only played Reverie Under the Moonlight but controls felt responsive and attacks felt meaty. Multiple charms for slight variation in play style.

huge titted witch is great too

I'd buy it.

oh that game's DEFINITELY worth 7 bucks from what I've played. The combat's really good, the tone and story seem interesting, and the art work's genuinely gorgeous. I haven't finished it but from what I've played so far it's definitely worth that much at the very least.
youtu.be/9wJI_VjFqlg

Yeah, I'm aware of that, and like I said, I don't have anything up yet.

Alright, I'm sold. Thanks.

Sorry for bugging you about it.

What's the worst obscure and/or indie games that aren't even fun ironically like say bad rats?

Uriel's Chasm

Sorry if I came off as hostile, that wasn't my intention. I just already know that linking to FA will get me b&, and it's not like there's anything interesting on it anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Vigil: Blood Bitterness

to even start the game you need to download the demo of this separate game.

store.steampowered.com/app/2540/

If you actually get it to run, the actual game is a vague hard to see harder to control shit show.

Suits

Oh god that thing. It sorta looked like it was going for a good style but like I remember hearing bout how awful it was. Glad I didn't buy that shlock.

Hotline Miami

You really like hurting people don't you?

I know suits is mediocre but it's not THAT bad is it?
