>What in the fuck is this
/indie/ is the general for all indie games, such as LISA, Yume Nikki, OFF, Middens, Bastion, Machinarium, Braid, Limbo, Axiom Verge, Guacamelee, The Desolate Hope, Sonic Dreams Collection, Dorito Galaxy, etc.
Mobile or consoles, flash or unity, freeware or early access. This place is a home for the indie game community and indie games that don't have a home. So be free to talk and share all your hidden gems, forgotten games and starving devs here. Remember to tell just some anon and other namefags that use names when they're not needed to fuck off!
>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 /vg/), 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. Besides that, don't forget to play our !!!!GAME OF THE WEEK!!!!* and other indie games to have lots of joy and to make more discussions to our general. And please give lots of feel, love, kind and nice to everyone, except for namefags
* - not a thing right now because we're on life support, also because that anon is gone now

Guys, sorry it's been so long. We've been wrapped up with a whole slew of updates to the game, from UI, to new features, to the opening portions of rescuing Human Princess.
We're releasing 0.106 for Towergirls: Subtitle pending.
Remember how I said we had a whole bunch of updates? Of course you do, it's right above. Well there's so many that we can't actually fit them into a decent amount of posts on 4chan, so have a pastebin: http://pastebin.com/sdvaq15b

>I will never change a character to pander to a demographic.
well of course, you don't have to really change much, considering you wrote basically every character as a fag from the start

Not him, but I picked it up a few days ago in the summer sale since I had heard about it a while back but never got it. It's a good little game. I'd recommend it if you like point-and-click adventure games, or if the theme/aesthetic interests you.

If I liked ESA would I like Axiom Verge?
>>147167043
speaking of, what was the fuss about ESA? I bought it during the sale because I'm a sucker for linguistics and apparently there is another alphabet in this one
>>147168883
There is a cypher in ESA, correct.
It's a very basic Alphabetic cypher like the ones seen in La-Mulana and FEZ
>speaking of, what was the fuss about ESA?
Do you mean what was its reception during its release or why is it suddenly a topic on /indie/?
>>147169408
I was mainly speaking about how suddenly people on /indie/ hated it for no reason. One day the thread died and I forgot to search for the new one and when I came back people were calling it shit

To be fair Toby can still make stuff, plus he's pretty set since UT sold like 1.4 million units.
>>147169565
Well, personally I think it's great but a lot of the criticism comes from it's pixel artstyle and that it doesn't compare to SS13. I've not play SS13 so I can't commentate on that.
The anon playing it recently gave up on it in frustration but still liked it.
>>147166212

The only other option is giving him up for nothing, so really two of your three options are:

>>147170536
wait what does ESA have to do with SS13? ESA is a metroidvania as far as I know and SS13 is silly roleplay fun
>>147143808
Jesus christ gays really trigger you huh?
>>147170674
Some anon just called ESA "SS13 without all the things that make SS13 fun". I've never played SS13 so I had no idea what he was talking about.

What is this?!
Playing Underrail, got to Junkyard and saved the guy hunting cave hoppers.
Is it just me, or is pickpocketing useless? I've dumped as many points as I can into stealth, and even if I sneak up behind someone, they very quickly notice me, so I've only managed to pickpocket one person so far in the game. Maybe I should restart and dump the pickpocket stats into dodge or evade instead. Is there anything important I might miss by not pickpocketing?
It also doesn't help that the merchants only want specific things, so even without pickpocketing people my inventory is starting to get cluttered (although I guess I can just walk back to my room and stuff the junk into my locker.)

>>147174534
All the stuff he promised in the DLC was nothing but a ruse and it's overpriced as fuck, it even caused the game to crash on the first days. He even let hints inside of future content he could have added but he didn't. Now he's making ANOTHER overpriced DLC that requires the first DLC to run it.
Don't get me wrong Rebirth is awesome but he's really abusing of the DLC.

Sadly, no.
>>147175495
Machine for Pigs. Haven't tried SOMA. Dark Descent was great, Machine for Pigs took out almost all the mechanics that made the original fun, and I'm pretty sure the writer was a communist sympathizer.
>>147175495
SOMA. Machine was done by the studio that did Dear Ester I believe instead of the original people.
>>147176361
They're brothers. A dude here called Midson loves gay cat incest.

ATDD is a game about cosmic horror. AAMFP is a situational comedy.
>>147181382
Now you see, I appreciate drastic genre switches like that. For example, I love how Gremlins the First is a horror-comedy set during Christmas and I love how Gremlins 2 is a more straight up absurd comedy.

It's alright, don't expect much from the battle system. Overall I had fun with it.
It doesn't have any of the gay shit that people say it does.

The main character and the save girl flirt at certain parts of the game
No one really talks directly about sex at all, except for the merchant who jacks off with money
>>147194306
What?
>>147186384
Yeah I enjoyed it. Music's good.
>>147197791
>Music's good
people said that about Undermeme too
music does not make a good game, unless it's literally a music game
>>147197672
parts of the songs sound pretty similar
i think dingaling watched rfad at some point while making lisa
>>147197991
I mean I liked the story too, plus the characters were likable and funny.
>>147198351
I sorta hear it at points.
>>147197991
No one said that's what makes it a good game, just said that it's a thing.
The only good thing about undermeme is music anyway.
Where specifically in LISA does this appear?
>>147198597
You asked this before.
Banana Splitz cave (area 2), there's a sofa with a candle, go up there and through the wall.
should be a bannable offense to talk about undertale in this general because it is literally 100% shitposting in every case
>>147198771
I asked before and I was given a vague answer, someone said it was "hidden behind a wall somewhere mid-game"
thank you!

thoughts on Pony Island? I thought it was pretty solid as far as gimmick games go, more accessible than Eversion, but not a complete forced meme like Undertale. reminded me of The Impossible Quiz. 9/10

>more accessible than Eversion
More like more mainstream than Eversion, Eversion is free so it's way more accessible.
I liked it but it was too self-aware for it to be actually scary, but the part whenyour Steam friend messages yougot me good.

Unfortunately I was spoiled on Pony Island a lot so the effect is lost
Are we going to turn Environmental Station Alpha into an /indie/ classic like LISA and OFF?
IIs deadly Premonition worth playing?
>>147205258
Yes, as long as you don't go in expecting something "good" but instead something really cheesy, it's really enjoyable on camp value

Batter because a world without Hugo isnt a world worth existing
