What should I add to this chart?
oblivion
Yume Nikki
>>342604996
of course
>>342604986
not indie
Added Yume Nikki and Hydorah
What else?
we already had a chart like this that was "recommended free games" or something
>>342604919
Add in Touhou. Those were indie as well.
>>342606335
oh here we go
>>342606335
I don't want to necessarily discount commercial games (though yeah, most games from the "Golden Era" were in fact free).
>>342606391
Yeah, why not. PCB or EoSD?
>>342604919
La-Mulana, of course.
>>342606410
the stuff on http://landsofdream.net/games/ are pretty good if you like weird adventure games, but the best one isn't freeware
What was the name of that one with the bird egg adventure?
>>342606649
An Untitled Story?
>>342606674
That's the one. Thanks.
Original mount and blade
>>342606987
Isn't it published by Paradox?
>>342606859
>>342606674
>>342606649
I'll add An Untitled Story. Seiklus and Knytt Stories as well.
>>342604919
I swear if one of you cucks adds a 2hu game, I'm leaving the board for good.
frog fractions
Updated
>>342608183
Then leave. I very well might add PCB or EoSD; they're really good games.
>>342608192
Good freeware game, but
>released in 2012
If I make a freeware-only chart to update >>342606410 (which is long in need of updating), then yeah, I'd add it.
>>342605625
An Untitled Story, god-tier freeware
>>342608437

Immortal Defense for sure.

>>342609778
Hero core is awesome.
Tower of Heaven and Binding of Isaac
Peasants Quest
>"golden age"
There was never a golden age of "indie games". Most of the games you are thinking of were verifiably, objectively dogshit.
see: http://culture.vg/reviews/in-depth/introducing-the-indie-scene.html
>>342610378
Binding of Isaac 1 (released in 2011) is after the cusp. Tower of Heaven is good, though.
>>342610295
>>342610235
>>342610146
>>342610025
Definitely
>>342610040

Okay
Spelunky is shit, DELET
Aquaria
>>342610751
stop shilling your shitty website, Icycalm
>>342610751
Please stop shilling your terrible website
>>342604919
Killing Floor 1
Warning Forever
Terraria
hotline miami
>>342611223
>>342611681
Definitely
>>342611365
Okay, sure
>>342611798
>2012
I'm including cactus' older games though
>>342611759
Ehhh, I feel like it's on the cusp. Essentially, Minecraft changed everything. There are other charts that celebrate more recent indie games; I just want to celebrate the older ones with this one.
>>342611209
No, it's not
I've included a couple more cactus classics (Shotgun Ninja and Burn the Trash), along with Desktop Dungeons
>>342610751
>literally linking to your blog
is this nigga serious
>>342612341
i want to be the guy, vvvvvv
R-Theta 2
>>342604919
Are you going to post this on the /v/ wiki?
>>342613175
sure
Braid.
Ignore the anti-hype, it's a good game and had a strong influence on the propagation of indie games.
>>342613175
>/v/ wiki
it's been overrun by redditors and all other kinds of outsiders
shit's useless now
>>342613798
braid was pretty much the start of the fall, when indie games became more about profit than making games
>>342614054
Braid was 2008.
The image said 1998-2010.
Not to bloat the list with shmups, but ChoRenSha68k is worth an add.
>>342613923
You're right.
>We hate so hard because we love video games so much.
Complete lack of self-awareness.
battleblock, terraria, luftrausers, insurgency, escape goat, FTL, contrast, guacamelee, frozen synapse, starseed pilgrim
have a variety of genres and styles, take your pick
Minecraft classic
>>342614276
>terraria
>FTL
both 2012
>>342612341
Hardwar - 1998
Company of three guys in England that made one of the most underrated space flight sims ever.
>>342608201
>barkely was 6 plus years ago
>>342614578
I'm sure it's great, but published by Interplay.
Shovel Knight
theres already too many mediocre games
>>342604919
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
One of the only freeware games that haven't been listed that I can say I liked as much as the top games on my Steam library, haven't played past the 0.11 version though.
>>342616282
...so?
darwinia was pretty fucking good
>>342614210
>>342612857
>>342612918

>>342613798
I'm on the fence with Braid, too. Yeah, it sort of represented a new philosophy for indie development. All of these indie games have a "hobbyist" tone to them; yet, Braid wasn't about that. I can add it if there is strong opinion to.
>>342614290
Now, the question: Should I add Minecraft Classic? The earliest versions of Minecraft were very much in the vein of all these "Golden Age" hobbyist titles, yet we all know what happened later. The later success of Minecraft, possibly alongside Braid, ushered in a definite change in the indie scene.
>>342617083
So it isn't indie.
Is this a chart thread?
>>342617408
already a terrible list composed of weabshit and meme-core, start over and come back a week from now
>>342617773
>weabshit
I count 3 Japanese games.
>meme-core
What did he mean by this?
>>342610751kys
>>342617309
Added
Is Hotline Miami too mainstream for this list
>>342619478
It's too recent.
Serious Sam is indie, isn't it?
>>342618961
If Knytt Stories is already on there does that mean Within a Deep Forest can't make the list? I think it's probably Nifflas' best.
Also, Lyle in Cube Sector.
>>342608291
EoSD is literally copypasta'd patterns from DOJ, made worse.
zun even admitted to it in the manual (in the most self-congratulating way, of course).
This thread reminded me I wanted to download those Locomalito game. But I'm too stupid.
Can someone explain a tech retard like me what I'm supposed to do in my config.ini to map the controller on a gamepad.
