Last thread: >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 indie and miscellaneous games, 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.
Because I really fucking hate when the thread just suddenly dies on me.
Mindshrooms for example are bioluminescent, and yeah, I guess the ceilings could be covered in mushrooms, or something like the glowworms in New Zealand, but simple light is not enough, they'd have to produce UVB, and lots of it, in order to help with vitamin D.
For example if you spend all day in a basement, turning on the light won't help. In a less drastic example, simply not going outdoors is enough to develop vitamin D deficiency, even though it is not actually dark in your room during the day. Smog or shit weather too. For example Sweden is so fucking dark, that it's pretty fucking important to get vitamin D from other sources if you spend a longer time there. That's why they add it to milk and stuff.
And then all the UVB in the world can't help you if you don't allow it to reach your skin. You can spend all day standing in the sun in the middle of the Sahara, if you are covered from head to toe you are just as fucked. Vitamin D deficiency is kind of a pretty common issue with muslims.
Even solariums usually use UVA instead of UVB. Most full spectrum lights available today are great to treat shit like winter depression, but they can do fuck all to help with vitamin D synthesis. I don't remember the exact number, but it was something like spending an 8 hour worktime in an office with full spectrum lighting will be about as effective for vitamin D synthesis as spending 1 minute outside in the sun. So yeah.
tl;dr bioluminescent mushrooms almost certainly wouldn't help.

goddamnite thread you fuckers

Vitamin D from sunlight can't be that big of a deal. Think of nuclear submarine crews, miners, etc.
Adam Morris
It is a pretty big deal. Problem is, without sunlight the only way you can get it is from food. A miner or submarine crew can get enough from food and supplements to somehow get by, but food won't have vitamin D either without sunlight. That's why I brought up deep sea fishes in the previous thread. They might be able to synthesize it without UVB, but they still need blue light. Which you won't get in deep water in a cave many miles underground.
So a station that can treat food with UV radiation, or use proper lighting can get around this problem. But not the zoners living in shantytown eating Tchort knows what in their barrel soups.
Nicholas Lewis
i don't understand
Austin Gutierrez
Looking for feed back on my epilepsy inducing of a game.
David Sullivan
i wanna do lewd things with a cat
Carter Kelly
Like, do you really expect anyone to play that? I don't play games to get an epilepsy attack. This shit should be illegal.
There was a guy complaining (elsewhere) about how punishing and monotonous the game is. I told him to "get good" and he got real offended".
Apparently I caught up to where he was... and it was a cake walk. Sure it would have been monotonous if I kept dying / didn't find benches... but that didn't happen.
Feels good.

>[random reaction GIF tagged with WTF]
>I thought it was just 2 sergeants and 1 LT?
No, it's 3S/1L. I also screwed up that sentence a lil' bit, I meant to say you can have 4 officers maximum BUT the 4th one can only be obtainable if you turn an Sgt to Lieut THEN promote a Veteran to Sgt. Tricky, as your biggest investment (1k XP) is not the final one.
>Also, spoiler alert so you don't waste your XP
Thanks, but I already ran into this. Unfortunately, not even the devs remember to the other condition. One said high (20) morale, but a user reported s(he) left even with 25 (!) Morale. The other dev claimed a certain level of Diplomacy, but didn't tell the exact value.
James Smith
>bored of Stardew already
It's only my second day
Jordan Myers
I really want this game to be good. Although I guess I'm a little surprised that it'll even get released. Probably. I never had much faith in the project.
Asher Moore
Did you like Harvest Moon? Did you even play it? I found that Harvest Moon kinda soured my experience with Stardew Valley because I knew everything was just a little bit worse...
Juan Brooks
Nice.
Evan Perez
Yeah I played Harvest Moon but it's been awhile and last time I played HM I was really annoyed by it
Grayson Rogers

Chase James
Getting ready to head to Deep Caverns. It doesn't make any difference if I pick preservationist or rassophore, right?
Yeah, I had max leadership, then had 1 LT and 2 Sgs, so I could have 20 leadership. Then I started having a scholar build tents to boost the leadership even higher but the champion still fucked off.
The first time I played it years ago, the champion didn't do that, but I have no idea what caused him to stay.
Isaac Long
Be honest with me boys
Is NITW shit
I've heard it's really heavy on the hipster antifa communist dumbass shit, and that sounds really unappealing to sit through, but it also looks charming and interesting, so I'm split
Camden Nelson
Compared to OFF the thing that most sticks out is that Hylics is still a very JRPG game in the story and structure. It gets spiced up though by some unique mechanics like enemies staying dead, havin to die to grind your meat into HP or one character getting additional HP and I think strength by eating bugs. NPCs can have randomised dialogue but needed info is always given without randomisation.
Aiden Walker
The game sure has a communist/socialist aspect, but it's much more about the dissociation between child and adult world. Gameplay wise it's boring but i still is a very good game in my opinion
Ryder Garcia
Aquaria got a really cheerful and enjoyable exploring early and mid game. The more you advance the more nerve wrecking the levels become to explore with all the deep sea eldrich horrors. >. Also one of the abilities you get is teleportation You mean the turtle?
Caleb Gomez
You are a big boy. Stop getting triggered so hard by a fly outside your bubble.
Josiah Bennett
yeah but it's just "kids being contrarian"
Cooper Russell
I play games to escape all the retarded political shit people spew constantly. The illustrator is a hardcore antifa guy on Twitter so I was worried the stuff in the game might be really blunt and preachy and opinionated, but if it's just kids being contrarian then that's probably tolerable. It's not like I don't like LISA or Nuclear Throne because of the opinions of their creators, but that's because they lack those opinions forced in, so if NITW doesn't, that's good.
Aiden Jackson
Get a diaper really.
David Davis
Why don't you go jump in the ocean buddy
Salt water, get healed
Jackson Martin
I love it when fucking /indie/ of all places turns into a salt fest.
In other news, still digging Hollow Knight. Runs ever so slightly on my computer though. Fuck.
Austin Ross
>tfw salt well immediately dried up
Juan Rodriguez
Yeah, it's critical of an economic system that let their small town go down the shitter and promises them no actual chance of things getting better. They also hate facists like anyone should. If this bothers you, good, fuck you and your backwards, easily triggered bullshit. But, no, don't play it, because I actually liked the game and you probably don't deserve it.
Kayden Brooks
get the good QoL mods
Jordan Jenkins
Well then I have a short story for you.
Gabriel Cruz
Where can I find old obscure gamemaker games that used to be on yoyogames? This one is called Painajainen, it's a small collectathon/metroidvania. I want to replay it because it had nice music.
William Hernandez
Forgot pic.
Leo Taylor
It's about as good but it's primarily an aesthetic experience. Don't expect much of a deep story since all the text is randomly-generated gibberish.
It's good fun though, with nice environments, enemy designs and music. It's not too expensive too.
Josiah Reyes
>I'm not sure if it's worth the time commitment It's pretty short (iirc 2-5 hours). I'm glad I played it, in any case.
>picture got their retarded body movements down Nice.
Logan Jones
>tfw my revolver build from the last got entirely ignored >tfw no face It died so young.
Robert Hernandez
okay thanks.
Lucas Garcia
Wait there are revolvers? Fuck me I played Underrail too soon.
Michael Gonzalez
I've read it, I just couldn't think of anything to add. It's a pretty gimmick build. Like, I had to look up the weapon because I didn't even remember it exists. Actually, until now I didn't even know it existed. I don't fuck with Wyatt.
Is it a horror walking sim? Otherwise graphics remind me of paper sorcerer and atmosphere kinda reminds me of World of Goo and the other games by the dev.
Evan Perez
>Being this mad about someone else being mad Unironic Commies could be a perpetual energy source if they exerted that effort on anything but their even worse economic system.
Justin Hernandez
It looks like Amnesia with a early cartoon aesthetic.
John Richardson
Was Magic Wand ever uploaded?
Logan Phillips
It's on gamejolt, no?
Angel Morris
lovely
Adrian Roberts

Ayden Gonzalez
Only one, it's unique. It' also very easy to miss.
Nathan Gutierrez
Switch seems to be getting huge indie support. It will kill the vita with this and will have strong 3rd party support.
Considering it's a console aimed for the ultramobile market it's not really surprising. Besides, Nintendo's self-developed NVN won't be the devs only option. They joined to Khronos Group in 2k15, so the odds is that Switch will support their APIs (Vulkan / OpenGL) too.
Colton Campbell

>an old-timey cartoon aesthetic but it's first-person Actually seems pretty neat, don't think that's been done before
Brayden Watson
>action/puzzle/horror
What a weird combination.
Brayden Nguyen
Not really. Amnesia was already brought up as an equivalent, but those three vague genres could describe things like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Dead Space, too.
Started somewhat buggy, and the developers did not run away... it's got potential, hope it will become a full fledged game.
Ayden Johnson
Hey guys, my 10 year old sister agreed to go to comicon as Buddy so now I need to make a Rando costume for myself.
What would make a proper hood? I was thinking a hard hat with a foam spike glued on top and then have a black sheet over it.
Jack Martin
Turn a bucket upside down and cut a whole for your face/mask in it.
Julian Mitchell
I'd go for one of those simple bike helmets like this one. A hard hat is gonna have those slight protrusions on the top that might look kinda weird if the sheet is thin.
Jace Russell
Sounds better. I'll be ordering the mask soon so that'll help see if I can wear a mask and helmet together.
Fran Brow is fucked up. This games story better not tie into some ww2 metaphor.
Colton Rivera
Midson pls
Jaxon Myers
what isn't he a dogfucker tho
Luis Baker
It's an old time cartoon horror game? Wouldnt that make it kinda hard to get scared of?
Cameron Allen
Isn't the dev kit like really low price, like only 250 bucks, making it easy for indies to get on?
Chase Sullivan
Pretty sure that one guy posted his cat's dick like three separate times, each time causing the posts to get deleted.
Isaac Perry
yeah that was me i am not midson
Owen Miller
>drop stardew valley around april last year >winter of second year like 10 days in >come back yesterday >marry emily because fuck everyone else >make grandpa happy >laugh in penny's face for being a whore >leave the game i forgot how fun it was. Shame there isn't anything else to do after the witch quest and getting everything to max.
Eli Foster
Look up Al Columbia, it can work.
Leo Hernandez
I don't know about the price but I know the devkit was already widespread among indies.
Henry Cruz
You could brutally murder everyone after harnessing their eyeball liquid.
David Ward
can you? i wanna kill everyone but abby, caroline, the wizard, maru, robin and the emo faggot.

I don't think so that was just the fran bow speaking out of me.

How sweet, are you going to post pics when you're done?
Anthony Wood
Oh damn, I don't want this thread to die while I'm away shitposting in Torment threads.
Michael King
It can't be helped.
Cooper Gomez
I'm surprised this thread's still around honestly
Ethan Hall
Anyone have any genres they particularly like and dislike?
Angel Green
I don't like racing games
Blake Gonzalez
Telltale style interactive movies calling themselves adventure games. Can't stand them.
But speaking of adventure games, anyone here played Gabriel Knight 3? Is it any good? I've played the first two, and the first one was fucking amazing, while the second was surprisingly not terrible for an FMV game. But the third game's early 3D graphics look like a crime against humanity. It makes me really hesitant to give it a go.
Ryan Nelson

What the actual fuck. I finished two long RPGs with sound on without realizing they don't even have a soundtrack.
