/indie/ - Indie and Obscure Games General

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, Gone Home, 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. Absorbed the /lite/ general some time ago.

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.

So I was fucking around in my Steam Library and realized something:
>I hadn't checked on the Binding of Isaac April Booster Pack
>Look around
>No news post with patch notes
>Nothing on the Isaac Platinum God page
>Nothing on the Isaac blog
>Nothing at all except a single post on Twitter
>"""Monthly Booster Packs"""
I have grown to hate Edmund so very much.

...

>playing OFF
>decide to try out fullscreen
>crashes to black
>get this message when I try to open it
Am I fucked?

Yes.

I dunno, I don't use Linux, maybe try googling the error or something and seeing if it's a generic error that has a fix or something

Turns out it's an error with wine rather than the game. Oh well, the mac port seemed fragile anyway, I shouldn't have fucked with it. Guess I'll just have to replay it on PC.Hopefully the room isn't that last part of the game because I had almost solved that shit before it crashed.

>store.steampowered.com/app/581120/Griptape_Backbone/

>Blatant ripoff of Perfect Stride but with no artistic vision other than a base familiarity with vaporwave and a less interesting gameplay system
Okay sure why not, if PS is never coming out I might as well try the reddit knock off version

>Hopefully the room isn't that last part of the game because I had almost solved that shit before it crashed.
The room is the last part of the game,
yea.

I don't know what I expected

Some quick bits from the first minute
>Made with Unity Personal Edition
>Real life video footage is actually in the game and not just part of the trailer
>"Press left click to push mongo" (if it was not already clear this game was made by a talentless degenerate)

Pictured: An incredible lack of subtlety
Not Pictured: Hospital noises in the background

The movement controls about as badly as you'd expect
This is the pause menu
I'm almost afraid to click on the fedora to talk to god

Yup. Why update the game himself when people will make crap for him?

I went into a computer monitor(a task that is harder than it seems thanks to the controls that feel like I'm constantly on ice) and found this
When you go in the music stops and a recorded audio eulogy plays
Fucking reddit

Super deep bathroom graffiti on the back of a thing, courtesy of my rising impulse to shoot myself

I struck up a nice conversation with a skeleton I found
He went on a rant about some stuff but now he only repeats this, over and over again
He really understands me

Of course

I deleted the big heart and it spooped the shit out of me
Then mr. bones got off his wild ride

Thanks.
So does Scanner Sombre have any gameplay besides walking?

Something tells me I'm not going to finish this game

lol

>1000 collectables
There is not ironic bad about this game. It's just pure, unironic shit just like /s4s/

Here's how the tech tree look like.

Okay, nevermind
Turns out there's gorrillions of these things, and the surprising amount of music this guy stole off youtube does a great job of making the slog bearable

>people play your shitty spooky platformer that you made to learn actionscript and as a subtle parody of newgrounds artsy games
>they wont play your higher effort game

Making let's play bait is the way to go boys.

what games?

Oh boy here I go
If this just plays one of this faggot's home movies I'm gonna be mad

youtu.be/8HNwsa9mTJo shitty spookfest
youtu.be/h9GJWNWmLJI slightly better game

Goddammit it's worse
It's a powerpoint slideshow of his life

Hey, do we still like her? Or has she sold out or something?

they both look pretty shitty senpai
but then again i only watched about a minutes of both so i can't really say for certain

I stand corrected
One side is a powerpoint presentation, but if you turn around, the other side is playing home movies

How the fuck does someone decide this is a good thing to put in your game about skateboarding and vaporwave

I remember trying a game like that. I thought it would be interesting, it turned out to be "my BFF tried to make games here is a bunch of them".

In a wonderful metaphor about my experience with the game, the retarded display of narcissism faded out to sounds of the hospital stuff from earlier
Then after a short pretentious monologue about life and death, I find myself here
This game was worth less than the bandwidth it took to download it and I feel myself a lesser person for having experienced it

I just had a similar experience with a hentai game I just tried.
I found it on dA, and, fuck.
>the only exposition you get is through a panel
>no exploration, you have a tent to recover HP, three monsters to kill over and over, and a boss to beat
>once you beat the boss, you have a poorly made H-scene
>you can also find chests, but they're reserved for Patreon supporters only
Bitch if I only pay for good stuff, not for trash.

People who pay for porn games have very low standards

She was never the best waifu in the first place

Disgusting.

>Iji 1.7

aw yeah

NO MOGEKO I WILL NOT 'EAT UP'

I've spent more time researching and looking up potential new games to play than actually playing games this week

Sometimes it is better to just dive blindly into a game.

Any thoughts on Eagle Island?
youtube.com/watch?v=vTwCUNY4hgY
Looks like a fun game, don't know if I would donate to it though.

Which snes classic is this supposed to emulate?
It looks nice but I wouldn't back it myself. Would get once it releases.

looks fun

>that style

Looks fine, but nothing like any SNES game or anything of that era. Just looks like a modern pixel art game.

>looking for decent games to put some time in on steam
>it's all shitty flash games being sold for 20 smackaroos

I just want to play a decent game that's not 2 hours long, and doesn't look like a newgrounds game.

...

>zero genre description

I literally don't care at this point, as long as it's not a game that I would have played on the internet in 2008, or early access trash.

What's next? Mogeko :joy: ?

apparently 1.0 is coming soon

Neat. How soon?

I thought this was the minecraft float.png at first glance.

what was added in the Iji 1.7 version? i'm pretty sure the Passive Mode wasnt present in the previous versions

I think a different ending too?

Nothing good

So are these some genetically engineered supertrees so they can survive without roots?

>game got harder overall
>some bosses work different
>2 new endings
>secret stuff
>fuckload of tiny improvements
>iji now walks faster
>every enemy now has a name, age and birthplace

sure

camus doesn't deserve to be in that uninspired piece of shit game

>every enemy now has a name, age and birthplace
But I don't want to kill real living beings with names and lifes.

>But I don't want to kill real living beings with names and lifes.
Not even for brouzoufs?

I hope Strafe is good

I cry every time.
This game is underrated beyond my comprehension.

me too

What makes it better compared to RIM 1?

What game will give me the best bang for my buck?

Roguelikes, given that most of them are free

This.

There are so many to choose from

And they are so fun

Even though none of them feature lewd werewolf intercourse

start with Brogue!

fug

Pretty sure I played a lewd roguelike with that or maybe it was a fever dream

WAIT?

Let's all calm down.

I'M NOT EVEN PLAYING AND I CAN HEAR THE DROWNING RAIN WHAT IS THIS GAME DOING TO MY HEAD WAAAAH

>little more than 1 hour playtime
Well that solves it for me. Will gladly take it in a bundle but no raw purchase.
Was an actual helpful video, thanks.

Feel good.

Cute

But you have to save the weak, Jack, don't you? They made their choice

will it be hard

>dude nazis xD
What's the name of this so I can avoid it?

...

Enter the Gungeon

Play this and tell us how much you rage on a level from Shooting somebody in the knee to Shooting yourself in the knee.

99% of the difficulty in this game comes from ammo management
It also looks like ass and camera is nauseating

I bet your accuracy is under 50% so you are having ammo problems.

Except that you're not even supposed to shoot anyone for the first couple of levels, otherwise you'll run out of ammo
It's really boring

Yea run around them in circles.
The dlc adds and option to get "random" items at the start and one can be power legs

Tbh I didn't want to shit on the game, these are just my complaints about it, a lot of people seemed to enjoy it, but I couldn't
Mostly because fuck ups with ammo resource not easily noticeable and you can keep playing while your run is actually ruined
Camera's still inexcusably bad though

That screenshot for When It Hits the Fan, would you mind changing it? I've completely changed the colors for the Lab (pic related).

Question for the regulars here: Do you usually try out AGDG's demos on demo day? It's about that time right now.

Will do.

I might try them now that you reminded me of it.

Just passing by to say that rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Food_Poison_Chance is bullshit.
My cook is level 5 and everyone get poisoned all the time.

Also, that general dies too quickly, too often.
Good night.

The thread always slows down during weekends.
Fucking normalfags etc

You would think that it's MORE active during weekends...

Also, I googled pemmicans, apparently it's a real thing.
