/indie/ - Indie and Obscure Games General

Now with added /lite/ edition.

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.

Is Barony worth my time?

I wish I never played it
Its rude to knowingly push Ticket onto others

are there any games in the vein of Crystal Chronicles My Life as a King out there? or Majesty? the kind of game where you just lay down the ground work and watch shit happen

also evolutionary shit like Creatures or Gridworld would be cool

that's the good stuff

So, for the Plotline of LISA as a series is this about Right?
>Marty has two kids, named Brad and Lisa, he sexually abuses Lisa while physically abusing Brad
>Lisa meets and befriends a Young Buzzo and manipulates him into torturing Animals and eventually Scarring her in an attempt to get Marty to lose interest in her
>Lisa Kills Herself when this plan fails, with the implication that Marty forced Brad to drink and then Rape his sister
>Years later Brad has adopted a boy named Dusty and taken him under his wing, but this ends in tragedy when Buzzo assault's Brad's Dojo and saws Dusty's face off.
>While this happens Yado and a bunch of other scientists create the source of the white flash
>Yado then kills his wife and hides their daughter away before kicking off the White Flash
>Buddy is left for Brad to find with the intent of making her strong enough that her JOY mutant is nearly unstoppable
>The events of the Painful and the Joyful take place
>Buddy either Fucks off to live in isolation with her baby and Brad's JOY mutant or Becomes a Joy Mutant Herself leaving humanity doomed to extinction either way
that sound about right?

Pretty decent idea. I assume the guy is unhappy that he has to kill people for his own sake. It has potential but really depends on where you take it from there.

I can't believe /indie/ hit bump limit and got a new thread made before it got archived

One of the major things about the game is deciding whether to feed the arm or not.
If you don't feed it it gets weaker, doesn't learn new moves, and'll start attacking the party rather than doing what you tell it.
From there, most of the game'd take place hopping between Islands while trying to get back to the mainland in the final stretch to find the warlord with the Cure.
If you wanna look at all the ideas another user posted the link to my blog where I dump all that shit.
It's still in a very nebulous state because if I wanna make this thing I'm gonna have to learn how to make a game and everything that entails from the ground up.

Joy mutations don't really work that way though. Nobody in the games grows a new mouth or new ears or eyes or any other extra organs, they just grow and get distorted.

Why do I keep picking up glass weapons when I break them on the very next floor

Since someone asked me to post when I found the last 4 effects, just found this one in mural world.

I don't ever use them, honestly.

Unless I'm Aria, then there's no real reason not to.

Got this one too. Gonna go to sleep and find the other two tomorrow probably.

More CLASSIC GAME. Got the Blue Sword, smote some ghosts, smote some skeletons, got chased by angels.

asking about RCR U again. I'm playing a pirated copy (I mean $15 is still pretty steep couple that with having to buy a controller on top of it I for $10 I probably am not gonna buy it until the end of the month) I know that it's some patches behind but it's a pretty buggy experience (I was playing Arena Mode and it just was flat out broken at places, can't select characters properly). I know that they're still fixing it but can anyone dish me on some progress?

I mean for god's sake I somehow jumped 20 levels forward while playing Arena Mode. I legitimately have no idea.

Is there a way to remove the camera tilting or the shitty camera movement on vampire blood lines?

>do chores to make money
>99% of what you can spend money on is shit to make more money
God, how the fuck I loved Harvest Moon so much as a child?

Forgot the pic

Because you were a child and their only God is "fun". Do not underestimate this aspect, it's also a significant reason behind the success of some of world's most profitable gaming developers. Especially nowadays.

What do you exactly mean under "shitty camera movement"? Do you use any unofficial patches and / or the Camarilla Edition?

so you can afford to get that wine and hopefully marry Karen. She's best girl. Or you can be cheap and just get Popuri, you can literally gift her weeds from your field

>Nocturna Hard Mode
>Zone 1 Enchant scroll from activated Shrine of Peace
>I GOT THE POWER
>turns cutlass to Glass

When glass is your only lifeline, you will do everything in your power to keep that weapon from breaking.

I don't get it.
How about Dwarf Fortress?

Neat.

Dogs get excited when people come back?

That game turned me off.

It was rather OFFputing to be honest.

There are much BATTER games than it.

Im not sure

looking for more 2D Beat Em Ups. /v/'s no help

>so you can afford to get that wine
>not sneaking into her cellar with a jar and binging every day while gifting her grapes

Just beatemups or 2d action brawlers? Stuff like valdis story might be cool for you.

I agree, I'm glad the fanbase is dedan buried

That anime was shit though...

I mean it had a cool enough beginning, but then it turned into lame one-shots and then capped it off with a retarded pseudo-intellectual bullshit philosophical ending.

How about riding those pedalos, though?

Shit was comfy.

I'm JUDGE-ING you for these puns.

I'm a rather BURNT out CRITIC of puns lie these.

It just occurred to me that "pedalo" might be a real word and not just a quirky made up name for the boats.

If your pun is not organic enough that you need to highlight it with all caps, it's not a good pun.

I feel like JOY mutation is unexplained enough that there's a little wiggle room

2 questions about SDV

1)Are there going to be any more update patches for SDV? After two years the game gets stale - hell, after Year 1 all the festivals just repeat the same dialogue, and socialising is atrocious once marriage/peak friendship is reached.

2)Are there any recommended mods?

I suppose, but it still seems inconsistent with all the other joy mutations we've seen. Hypothetically, a joy mutation could give you the ability to shoot lasers out of your eyes, but since we've never seen the other joy mutants do it, I assume it's not a thing that happens with joy mutants.

Who /HyperLighDrifter/ here?
It gives me waaay more fun than it probably should. I mean I haven't had so much fun in ages.

1) 1.2 is coming "soon". Seems like the main features are support for more languages and multiplayer.

2) bigger fridge, walkspeed stuff, fishing stuff, tooltip stuff

it's really fun, but the lack of QoL stuff infuriates me. I need to constantly check a guide to see if I picked everything up, and attempting to do so after a blind playthrough is a nightmare since the game doesn't track what you got where.

Well, the Joy mutations are already wildly inconsistent.
No two Joy mutants are alike, so it makes sense to think that it's possible.
Also, Beady, who's mutation seems to have covered the entirety of his mouth can use both Bite and Fatal Chomp. So there's that.

Post Necrodancer scores
Most I got in a while

How do you like the DLC?

I enjoy the music, but still think Dungeon 4's is best

How does one get good with Chris in River City Underground

Also does the online multiplayer feature EVER FUCKING WORK. This shit always fails

beat em ups specifically

>ValdisStory looks neat but it's not a beat em up similar to my examples though, and personally it looks more Metroidvania

>Bloodrayne Betrayal looks like s crapflash game no offence.

>FBF just looks gay, I mean it could be good if
I gave it a try but its aesthetics are not for me

>same with Sacred Citadel

>Shank 1+2 looks good and it seems to be made by the guys who made Mark of the Ninja, that was pretty fun and from the looks of it this seems to be like a more action packed less stealthy version of that game.
>Charlie Murder looks ok I guess?

I've been holding off getting this for a while, is it still a buggy mess? I pirated it for a preview and there's just tons of inconveniences and shit. Is the movelist still useless? (Like god they should at least tell you some of these moves branch into combos, some like Rudy's Dropkick are just flat out wrong). What are the chances CC does post-game support

>is it still a buggy mess
I haven't had a problem. Most issues I read seem to be online Which I can't even get to work or super end game which i'm not at yet.
> Is the movelist still useless?
Only used Provie and now Chris so I can't really say but theirs seem to be working. The unsaid timing of some of the directional inputs will probably throw you off though.

>The unsaid timing of some of the directional inputs will probably throw you off though.
This was pretty annoying, they have to be pushed exactly at the same time instead of just holding a direction then pushing a button

By the movelist being useless, I mean that off that it always just tells you it's a single P or K which unless you know it branches into a combo, you're pretty much dumbfounded.

I will play it eventually when it is in a bundle but for now I hate the fucked up perspective and how bad the world looks compared to the concept art.

I looked up more Beat Em Ups on Steam. Can anyone give me their input on them?

I fucking love the Monk. The bouncing fireball skill is so excellent for okizeme and he got really good reach on all normals.

This any good? The aesthetic is interesting.

My senses say yes hidden gem.

I don't usually like point and clicks but I've had good experiences with games with that art style

...

What other games are there? I can only think of Rock of Ages.

Sorry, should have said "game", as that's the only one I know of too.

So whenever I pirate a game like this, do I have to download the original game and all the updates, download the original game and the latest update, or just download the latest update and it will install the original game and the latest update?

>Get to Marine's Past
>Choke
Fug.

>are there any games in the vein of Crystal Chronicles My Life as a King out there? or Majesty? the kind of game where you just lay down the ground work and watch shit happen
Aforementioned Dwarf Fortress is one of those games but it's not chill like Majesty
OpenTTD is more chill but still with some learning curve

Usually you install the game and then apply the patches.

All of the patches in order or just the latest one?

I always hated this style, don't know why
Super-realistic images don't go well rigged animation

Jesus christ, just ask people who made the torrent or something, it varies from game to game

Read the readme.txt

What's an indie game with good combat that I can just play mindlessly? Something like Binding Isaac or Risk of Rain but not those games?

Any jrpg.

Usually all in order but there are occasions where previous updates are integrated in the latest one. GOG even includes the patch / game's version into the (file)name, so it's easy to see what it needs.

Example: the release version of Tyranny was 1.0.0.0008a (7512) and thus the first update went under the name "Patch 1.0.0.0008a_(7512)_to_1.0.1.0010_(7725)". This syntax is always the same.

However, Tyranny is also a good example why repacks made by P2P groups or certain users. The combined size of the 3 patches that came out before v1.0.3.0031 was somewhere around 200MB.

But as the next update modified some of the game's main (often compressed) data files (whose size tend to be several hundred of MBs) it ended up being 4,3GB. Basically the size of the whole game.

In cases like this (or when you'd have to download a lot of updates) it's worth to search a repack of the latest version of the game and simply download that. Much less hassle, wasted time and energy.

>Much less hassle, wasted time and energy.
At that point you might as well just pay for the game.

He got a fucking falcon down air lmao.

what

>Tyranny might be the best CRPG I've played in years

I'm so sorry, user.

Ehehehe ahahahahahhh.
Some fags are going to data mine it now, won't they. Goddamn.

There is no 2headed mutant.
Period

Thank-you to everyone who has in the past played CLASSIC GAME.

My life has gotten pretty strange in the past 6 years since I started working on it, and it has become hard for me to maintain the creative output I once could.

I thought it was really neat that people remembered it after all this time, though.

Black Tea Recluse's playthroughs of the game revitalized it a bit for me, and as he found various bugs I felt compelled to open RPG Maker 2000 again and fix them up, which has gotten me a bit more back into the mindset of the game.

I'll see you there, too, maybe

Cheers from Ontario, Canada

Nice if you to drop by.
Strange image. The thumbnail looks like long shadows of 2 humnas while open it looks like a ghostly face.

what happened to the yeti in nuclear throne?did anyone find it yet?

The yeti?

well what else is there? The Avernum and Spiderweb stuff isn't great. Wasteland 2 was a close runnerup

Aw cool, I'm from ontario too

Whatever happens to CLASSIC GAME I've enjoyed my time with it

Needs more games about deals with the devil.

Am i missing a lot of conversation options if i don't take the redpill at SGS? I just skipped it the first time i played UnderRail so i could dump points in other things. Can you open more dialog paths with the monolith you find in Oculus and the ruined sector of Tchort Institute?

>Can you open more dialog paths with the monolith

Yep, from every glowing rock. Also some other, more minor stuff.

Have this, in case you don't want to do a psyker playthrough. If you do plan to roll one, then ignore it.

Enter the Gungeon.

I think you have it mostly right however

>Buddy is left for Brad to find with the intent of making her strong enough that her JOY mutant is nearly unstoppable

IIRC the intent wasn't for Buddy to become the ultimate Joy mutant, but rather that, as the last living girl, she would eventually cause the pervert war by being outed, ruining what little of society was left and allowing Yado's mutants to take over. Brad raising Buddy was part of a deal Buzzo made with Yado. I'm not sure why though.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

in one of the endings Yado says that Buddy is to be his ultimate weapon after his wife asks if he intended to make Buddy his Queen

Been working on a cutscene.
