/indie/ - Indie Games General

sleepy Iji edition

>What the fuck is this
/indie/ is the general for all indie games, such as LISA, Yume Nikki, OFF, Middens, Underrail, Machinarium, DashBored, Vampire of the Sands, Braid, Limbo, Axiom Verge, Guacamelee, The Desolate Hope, Burrito Galaxy,Cookie Clicker, Stardew Valley, etc. as well as other games that just don't fit in any other general such as Atelier, Rayman, Pillars Of Eternity, Rise Of Nations, and Valkyria Chronicles.

Mobile or consoles, flash or unity, freeware or early access. This place is a home for the indie game community and indie and obscure games that don't have a home. So be free to talk and share all your hidden gems, forgotten games and starving devs here.

>Can I talk about games that already have a general?
We mostly discuss games that are not popular enough for their own threads (since they have no other home in Veeky Forums), however, all indie games are allowed. So talk about them if you want, but don't overdo it since you already have other generals for that.

>How can I contribute?
All we need right now is people to talk about their loved indies, so don't be afraid to post, bump and reply your fellow anons. Also we're looking for anons to make new pastebins/wikis/images and update the ones already made. And please give lots of feel, love, kind and nice to everyone, except namefags. And be sure to make a new thread if nobody else does.

itch.io/jam/agdg-demo-day-12

Welcome back. I was getting tired of /poeg/ and wondered when you were coming back.

Mods pls dox this man

Is it because I forgot to link the last thread? Sorry, I forgot.

Thank u my dude
What is your favorite indie game?

Dunno. The demo of CLASSIC GAME was the best thing I've played in a while though.

youtube.com/watch?v=OzadxrooKHQ

You?

Neat. I'll check them out.
>Paper Bugs
Ooh.

Why doesn't anyone remember Legend of Grimrock?

Someone please upload the high quality ljii soundtrack

see , there's a DL link on the offical site.

The file used to be down but now its back up

Wosh away the anger

Guys, I'm not loving Machinarium. I'm a huge OFF fan and figured even with my disinterest in point and click games I would still like Machinarium but my heart's not into it. Maybe I'll fiddle around with it more but prolly not

I didn'tl ike IJI

How come?

Reading the alien logs and their very modern language took me out of the experience

Maybe you should try Primordia, it's shares similar inspirations with OFF

That's cool. Little off details like that can sour a game for me too.

I'm thinking about drinking myself into a coma until Night in the Woods is released.

Advice?

Wish I could find the link for Frauki and the Momma Prism standalone. Its very sluggish in my browser

I just saw theyre selling this on GOG. Why did /indie/ lie to me about it being a playstation exclusive

>If you can’t realize why a character named “Joe the beautiful” who gives locations in exchange for food is not a great idea, I think you aren’t worth the effort.

I do not understand, what's wrong with Jon? Am I missing some pop culture reference here, or what?

Alien hominid shit is very fun

>what's wrong with Jon?
That when I wake up he's not there eating a toasted blue eel sandwich getting crumbs all over my sheets

Dead on arrival.

>giving leah wine every day
>shes pregnant

Go back to sleep, Iji.

So what's indie up to?

Bum

What even is this game about?

A young woman returns to her hometown. Everything's changed and some weird shit is going on in the woods.

What's the most obscure game that indie's played?

Recently? Probably Balrum. It's a comfy turn-based isometric RPG with additional farming/building/survival elements.

Never heard anybody talk about it. ;_; Even their forums are pretty dead, although the game appears to be doing okay (~12k copies sold according to Steamspy) and it's not a bad game at all.

Looking at GOG reviews of it, apparently it was pretty bad at release but I had no qualms with the version I played last month.

not really sure how obscure it is if I found the game here.

Probably an OHR game

What is this about? I like the style. It kinda reminds me of like a european picture book.

OHR?

Trying something in Expedition: Conquistador. When you start off in the mainland, there is a village very close to where you start off at where you can get married to a native girl. Further inland, you can find another native girl and cheat on your wife with her, which leads to a violent confrontation between the two later on.

I was curious to see if the fight still happens if you hook up with the 2nd native girl and THEN go marry the first girl. In a normal playthough, you'd meet the first girl first and the 2nd girl second.

It's too bad you can't hook up with the delicious brown loli princess though.

>can't hook up with the delicious brown loli princess
why would they leave the best option out

ALWAYS SOMETIMES MONSTERS was nice

Who knows. I'm surprised the girl you can marry is 17 though. I always imagined the guy you play as being in their 30s, but I guess that kind of thing was pretty common back in the day.

graphics is more like this, watercolor style.

this earlier pic is one I had done by a drawfag.

Demon King Chronicle

Can anyone recommend a game similar to OFF or LISA?

(I like the game to at least have bizarre enemies or have interesting music)

Machinarium is the worst game by that studio
Way too many puzzles are just way too disconnected by being brainage games and the story you uncover is laughable bad with it showcasing bullies that bully you all your life just because
Also the robots look fucking retarded.
The environments are still neat as per usual and the greenhouse plus the scene after are very well done.

>when you always wanted to fly but still didn't
That is just what sony roaches do and make other people do without knowing it. They intentionally always link the playstation trailers despite the real publisher trailers being available. Just leaving out a little information can be so market influencing.

Where did you get that image from?
And yes Demonking Chronicle is way too obscure for how good it is. I guess no steam and playism exclusive kills its market chances.

Space Funeral
Standstill Girl(enemies look generic but the names are very creative and topical)

Got it done by a drawfag.

Wow nice. Did that drawfag play the game too or did he just draw it via refernce?

just a reference, I tried to keep the request separate from any mention of the game.

I feel my life wither away with every step I take in Bastion that is not rolling.

I've played many of the games listed in the lower levels.
Ask away.
If you want of course.

Is /v/ still spamming this shit?

I was waiting when that shit would pop up.

It's a bad meme yes, but we could discuss the bottom tiers seriously. Is there actually anything worth playing there? Other than CLASSIC GAME

AGDQ running a Ludosity game right now.

Nah not really.
Such threads along with the worlds.com exploration threads are completely dead. /v/ is a shitposting heaven after all.
If you are a fan of the surreal, then some of the games are actually an amazing and unique experience. Not very "good" or "fun" to play mechanically per say, bur they invoke unique feelings regardless.
Stuff like Eastern Mind, Drowned God, Kanoguti's, magicdweedo's, thecatamites' and kimberly kubus' games are definitely worth a shot.

Hydra Castle Labyrinth looks neat.

> coming on Steam

Should I get it?

Also I got OneShot. It was sad.

/indie/ will soon_ die!

Appearently the steam version really expnds on the game.

rip

This Valdis Story speedrun would be awesome if there was game audio.

What happened to the Stardew Valley general? Did it die off that fast?

It's been dead for a while.

I didn't play the base game.

It got a short resurrection during the last big update I think but that was it.

So, how is the game like?

What does indie think of Ball Point Universe Infinate

If you don't get the the remade steam version you should at least look ito the freeware version. It's a pretty good game honestly. it's only like an hour or two long but if you close it without saving you'll just fuck yourself from ever playing it again.. The steam version doesn't do this though since you do pay money or it though so there/s that.

Oh, so it's like OneShot? I have to complete it in one sitting?

Oh wait. You are talking about it. Sorry, I posted that image just to say it's sad.

I want to actually learn about Night in the Woods. Is it a good game?

I'm playing OFF and I want to use the Steam Overlay to take screenshots and advert the game on Steam.
It's not working by adding the game as "non-steam game", I tried to add some commands but no luck.

Anyone has any clue?

Use a different application and add the screenshots after.

Oh honestly I'm not sure what Night in the woods is like. I get serious vibes from it though that it'll probably be like that pretty good "Terrible Terrible Terrible" comic. I really hope it's like that at least, would be pretty cool to have a game where you just hang out with your buds for the most part. That's kinda what I was hoping Hylics would be more about honestly.

Hmm. So that's why you are watching it?

Lots of people are still playing SV its just that nobody can get together and make /svg/ thrive once more

Comfy winter day bump

The 2017 Indie Games rewards are out and its a bunch of stuff /indie/ never played

igf.com/article/2017-independent-games-festival-announces-main-competition-finalists

> only game I heard about is Stardew Valley

Must have been an epic competition.

>two of the nominees for best narrative are visual novels about Fuckin'

I see Dropsy in honorable mention of audio. I guess I don't need to get mad at the thing.

The fucking is the worst part of good visual novels. I had it before that I was really interested in the characters and got annoyed at all the forced sex scenes you need to sell this genre.

There are VNs without porn, you know.

Those motioners are off their rocker. What happens if you drink the koolaid?

>there is an achievement for unwittingly introducing smallpox to the capital of the Aztec empire

Whoopsie.

Nice going, settler.

What game?

This game is fun but I'm wondering if I'll have the motivation to get to the end.

Only one way to find out!

HORSE'S MUSIC-DOGS, one of the outsider indie greats, the genius behind CLASSIC GAME, watches my videos. Feels good man.

Also they linked me to a game that I ended up covering today called rRootage, a procedurally-generated bullet hell shoot 'em up.

Here's the video: youtube.com/watch?v=-AuhjEGkXPE

You can download rRootage here: asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/windows/rr_e.html

Iji. Protagonist of Iji. One of the indie games I played in college, alongside Decker, Drain Storm, Odentodo and ADOM. Neat game. You should check it out.

Like The Senpai, True Rememberance, Brass Restoration, and my visual novel Watashi wa Onigiri. Rated 4/10 on VNDB, translated into 5 languages and ported to Android.

I'm in a smug mood today. Can you tell?

Please keep your cancer politics culture in the appropriated boards. Don't be worse than fucking bornies.

I don't know what you're talking about.

yesterday I decided to give CLASSIC GAME a chance and, I'm loving the game so far. but

does anybody know until where the demo is? I got rid of the giant, I got the lords bell, I visited the centaur area, the elder is sleeping and both the A and the Y fcked off and the Y is now at the well near my house and wont do anything. Im level 7 and Im feeling I'm forgeting something

does the creator visit here?

When will it be complete

I won't play more until it is done.

I'm still not sure how I feel about that game's art style.

War is in the air

bump

Goddamn where are you fuckers?
