That was the weirdest fucking boss. The whole game had a very consistent atmosphere then Witch of Decay happened. I literally laughed out loud and raised an eyebrow.

I've played about 40 minutes of Spaceport Janitor and I'm liking it so far. It's reminding me a lot of Hylics and that's good. It's weird but in a way you wouldn't expect. Will keep playing.

Why do YOU like indie games, anon?

>>155149343
They are fun
They have personality
They aren't afraid to have to people sleep with each other
It's good times for all!

>>155149343
they load fast

When I play a AAA game and think: "I wish it was a little more like this", there is an indie game that is exactly that.

>>155149343
AAA games are usually bland, especially Ubisoft and that Destiny game

Indie games got more personality and bite. You think SquareEnix is going to publish something like LISA? I Don't think so

But seriously fuck Activision

>>155149343
they're cheep, free, and not restrained by the AA budgets a lot of games are That in turn allows for a lot more creative freedom normally.

>>155149343
aside from Mass Effect and Dark Souls, indie games have the better waifus

>>155149343

This is a space game made for a game jam. It's pretty cool. It's pretty simple but it's got a lot you can do. You mostly do jobs for space stations, either hunt down and kill a ship, retrieve a black box from a ship, or ferry a package from one space station to another. You can upgrade your ship with modules. You also have to make sure you don't run out of fuel and get stuck in space.

Can somebody play this game so I can talk about it?

I read a spic one called AnaitGames. Really cool, show stuff from gamejams, ludumdares, free indies that are different and fun, and analyze in depth games.
The writers are also the best people on the world, got one of 'em to follow me for showing him Dujanah and a Vaporwave game.

Where the fuck do you go to buy acid vials in Underrail? Some scientist guy wanted me to test out an acid gun, but I decided to do some other quests in the meantime and threw away the acid vials he gave me because I forgot about the quest.

I went to South Gate and Junkyard, and they only had a handful of acid vials each.

Also, are there training dummies anywhere else besides South Gate? If I can find any, I'll probably just use the gun on rathounds.

The point of kickstarter is you use the money to not work a full time job, otherwise you'd work on the game in your spare time then release and sell it.

>>155213787
Sort of. Depends on the content available. Games like Magicite or Roguelands are imminently shallow collectathons with poor or at least unrewarding gameplay.

Wasted was a fun trip but really takes a downturn once you realize you've essentially seen everything once you've finished the first cooler and have ~5 more to go through. The booze effects were varied and rare enough that I might have even missed one.
Delver got boring and unbalanced.
Necropolis was stupid.
Hero Generations REGEN was actually pretty fun. Still haven't 'beat' it, but I get close.
Death Road to Canada is extremely charming and fun to jump in and out of.

Either way roguelites are decent to play while listening to podcasts (Last Podcast on the Left)

>>155213787
Yes, actually.

Which is funny because I'm sort of "that roguelite guy" in my circle of friends. I had a friend of a friend, a game designer, asking me for advice about how to design a roguelite. I have hundreds of hours on Spelunky, Isaac, Dead Ninjas and Rogue Legacy.

Thing is I fucking hate roguelites. I wanna make the jump to proper roguelikes (Maj'Eyal and the likes) but they're WAY too hard for my stupid brain. At the same time, I hate the extremely slow "progression" feel of roguelites.

I feel you. I just get buttmad whenever I try to delve in. Feel like I would love Cataclysm DDA or that light-fantasy nordic survival rogue-like but i get the same sort of bored and stumped trying to get ahold of the mechanics as I do when reading history textbooks.

ANYWAY WHATS THE OPINION ON THIS GAME SUBTERRAIN?

>>155217003
I need to find new podcast games, games that are not roguelites

>>155222001
Every god damn roguelite is a massive time investment but not because you need to develop skill and understanding, its because you have to unlock the content.

The only exception is Spelunky, where you can finish the entire game on your first run if you're AMAZING. Every other one is just trudging.

I understand that in a roguelike, "dying is fun" since you learn. In a roguelite, dying isnt fun and you dont really learn, you just edge closer to the next unlockable. It's so contrived.

>>155223442
That's an excellent way of putting it. Heart and Slash really suffered from this and I couldn't quite put my finger on why that game annoyed/bored me so much.

>>155224607
Another good example is Rogue Legacy. It has a really strange progression mechanic based on score per run. But some of the stats you can improve literally go up to like, 50, and there are multiple. It's SO pointless that I just quit.

Good taste. I don't really get the obsession with Zachary

>>155213787
Most of them are shit. The only good ones are Enter the Gungeon and Flamebreak, with a lol randumb fun nod to Death Road to Canada.

The first two focus more on innate skill rather than grind for unlocks, though Flamebreak is a smidge on the easy side, most of its unlocks are just new starting perks/combos and the stuff in the game is still static. Plus, Flamebreak is a series of arenas and then trying to grab upgrades that you can combo together into an OP damage engine. Without having shit random level design, it sidesteps most roguelite problems.

Enter the Gungeon is almost too hard, too tedious, too long, and has like no meaningful gain in the player's power for the first couple of levels. I'm never gonna beat it, but it focuses a lot more on dodge rolling and enemy kite management. And to be honest, nothing else in the roguelite genre does it half as good as EtG, and it's fun enough to just play THAT aspect. Vintage Year is a pretty strong entry for cheap, "Diet EtG/NT" but it's not worth more than two or three plays.

If I ever have to cry on spiders again in BoI I'll fucking kill myself. That game is just RNG that you keep replaying to unlock more and more pointless crap to keep playing to get more crap to play more and you never see any of it. Large parts of it just aren't any fun.

Someone mentioned they wanted to try REAL roguelikes and that's a bit of a trap. I spent a long time with real roguelikes back in the day and a lot of them are incredibly overdesigned, grindy, incredibly obscure messes. If you want to get your autism on, be my guest.

That said, Shiren the Wanderer Mystery Dungeon is hands down my favorite classical roguelike simply because it boils away all the stat spam, memorizing "+2 blessed gray dragon scale mail" hail mary spoiler bullshit and just focuses on the core roguelike gameplay. It's a master class in elegant design, taking roguelikes and making them simple but still tough as balls. Emulate the DS game if you can.

>>155157641
Please elaborate.

>>155206275
Well, some people need to hire artists/musicians/whatever to do stuff they can't do on their own, too.

What you said is just one way to use it.

>>155228462
Neat.

>>155241221
To follow up on that, there's a Steam game called Voyage to Farland which is almost more or less a point by point remake of the DS Shiren game.

But...

Well...

If you just go look at it, they used some sort of retarded free "cute" tile set and the music isn't any better.

I want to recommend it because it lifts everything good from Shiren but it's tough to when you look at that disgusting art style.

>>155213787
I've never liked it. They're just shitty nothing games. They can be kinda fun but I like curated experiences.

I mean there's NT, Lisa, Dashbored out of my mind, a bit of Momodora, off, some LSD dream emulator since we added obscure games into what we talk about, hylics, space funeral, Some people have been playing End Roll recently and say it's prettygood, we were talking about underrail but that's died down a lot, Star Dew Valley, bit of undertale, someone was playing ghost suburb, and probably a good deal of other games. Also I think we have a "game to play" per thread but that's pretty new too. Right now it's one shot, good game, and it's up above for free if you wanna play. It's RPGMaker 2003 so heads up though. Also you can't play it more than once. Feel free to correct me on what I'm wrong on.

>>155247579

Barkley

>>155247964
Shit, I still have yet to play that despite being legendary. Need to do myself a favor and get on that.

>>155247808
It's one of the more difficult puzzles. If I remember it involves I think you do something to the remote and look at it through the window, or just look at it through the window. Heads up though. DO NOT CLOSE THE GAME AFTER YOU START THE COMPUTER. If you start up the computer you are committed to the game until you find an auto close save spot or else you well FUCK your game up hard. THere's one other puzzle that's a but difficult since it's a bit specific on what tile you interact with and it involves the right side of a generator. Other than that it shouldn't be too hard.

You will literally cause niko to die. This game's name is literal. You have one shot to play it. Make it count as they say. There are save spots though that I think work once that'll automatically close the game safely though. It's not long either, about an hour or two.

Yeah, I do think the first area's the worst. Sorta suffers from that thing where the dev got better as the project went along syndrome. The other areas are a lot more cohesive and easy to navigate too as well as having much better puzzles.

>>155258142
I started playing just tonight. I'd like to think Niko is a girl. I dont believe it has been said by the 2 npc's I've so far met.

Also plz no sexual.

>>155257918
I swear to got havesomemoore's art always brings a smile to my face. I wish he didn't get bullied by the SU fandom into stopping.

>>155258337
Me too. Niko's whatever you want her to be. Even sexual?

>>155258284
>>155258337
Googled it, apparently it goes the undermeme route in that Niko's whatever gender you want them to be

So, if I want him to be a shota and gobble his dick all day then he'll be a shota and I'll fantasize about gobbling his dick all dayt=

>>155258614
Yeah, I was fairly certain that the gender was ambiguous on purpose.

Not that it stops people from sexualizing Niko.

>>155258367
He got bullied?

>>155259324
Basically, steven universe fans didn't like that his art was ugly on purpose and made fun of their favorite show so they sent him death threats and shit until he decided to just stop altogether.

>>155258920
Well, I haven't managed to find any porn of it
So there's that

>>155151371
This game sure has a lot of walking...

At least there's a bed juuuust about at the points where I want to take a break.

>>155259540
Who fucking cares? Jesus, some people should grow a fucking skin. Crying about much death threats is so in vogue nowadays

>>155259541
Oneshot is still way underground.

>>155260794
He didn't really cry about it, he just stopped. They also doxxed him for that matter.

>>155260794
I mean, it's not like death threats are always fake though, some people are pretty fucked up sometimes. I mean we DO live in a world where a teen girl almost died because I think her 13 year old "friends" stabbed her so that they could live with slenderman n his forest mansion or some stupid crap. Anything can happen really.

>>155261281
A) The Slenderman suicide thing doesn't really relate to getting death threats online
B) Death threats not always being fake doesn't validate and justify the gross overreaction and exploitation of "online harassment" that's ridiculously popular these days. Everybody who gets an ounce of popularity gets death threats at some point and most people have the clarity to ignore bullshit, or if it's actually serious-seeming, to quietly go to the police

>>155254719
>>155254885
You can categorize your games you know, like make games that you beat/done playing with all together.
>Played Machine for Pigs, but not Dark Descent.
Dark Descent came first, you should get to that.

I would say BIT.TRIP for short bursts of enjoyment, but I don't think anything here would fulfill you in your current mood.

Just try some of the free games mentioned here recently like End Roll, Oneshot, or Faraway Story.

>>155262090
They doxxed him. Do you know what that means? That means they found and posted his information online. People have been fired from their jobs because of these people.

>>155262319
Dark Descent was also good whereas Machine for Pigs was not

>>155262345
>>155262090
Also shit like harassing family / friends. It's one thing to be an impenetrable wall yourself, but there's not much you can do when they attack those around you.

>>155262481
I wonder if game devs like Toby, Austin,and the Star Dew Valley guy have had similar stuff happen?

>>155262742
No. They weren't doing anything that people disliked. Quite the opposite.

>>155262883
No matter how liked you are, if you're popular enough, you're going to attract extremely salty / mentally unstable people.

>>155262345
>>155262481
Wow gosh thanks for explaining what doxing means and also spelling it the retarded Tumblrina way, I had no idea what it was even though I've had plenty of people I've known get doxed, get harassing trolls online and offline, and get death threats

It doesn't change what I said though you dumb cunts; again, if in the smallest of chances it gets that bad (and you didn't fucking provoke them into going that far by being a shrill "waah i'm being harassed" shit online, proving you were bothered by it and encouraging them) or in the even smaller of smallest chances it's a genuine stalker-murderer, go to the fucking police and don't acknowledge them

Which is what the artist guy probably did, which is great, but wasn't even talking about him specifically in the first place, was making a point about the general attitude these days

indie games sure are great, huh guys?

If you played the game and came to love it like many do, you'd probably also love the soundtrack and would wish to give Dingaling some dosh for it on the Bandcamp. It's a pretty fucking amazing soundtrack in my opinion. If I ever start making my own music I'd love to take example from the tone LISA's soundtrack creates. Definitely worth buying.

Very. None of them really capture what I like about roguelikes. Randomized ascii dungeons in a turn based game feels good. Generic rooms that aren't even procedurally generated in an action game get old. Also the freedom and creative interactions you see in the bigger roguelikes like nethack are rarely seen in roguelites. Probably because most of them are designed to be played with cumsole controllers

Baroque still holds up.

You wouldn't be allowed to do it on a PC because the company would fear that you could harm the computer and idiots would surely complain that the game changed their desktop and they didn't know how to change it back.

>>155292604
I enjoy it.
The music's pleasant and interesting, and it feels fitting for the setting.
The controls are functional but I wish when I examined an item in my inventory it went back into it when I hit escape instead of putting it down.
The graphics look good, if you like what you see in promotional material you'll like the rest.
I'm not sure if I have a full handle on the mechanics, but it seems like there's a fair bit to it such as: keeping your luck high through prayers and other mysticism, getting rid of the skull that (quietly) yells in your ear every little while, making enough money to eat and re-gender as needed, deciding if stuff you find on the ground is worth finding a vendor to sell it to or if it's better to just burn it, exploring the dungeon(s?) etc.
While I feel like they're very different animals ultimately, I'd say that comparing it to Viscera Cleanup isn't wrong, per-se. Just that instead of OCD cleaning a single space until it's all spotless, you're trying to make money because that massive place will never be 100% clean. It's pretty much impossible. I think.
Overall: 8.5/10.
I can see how it's not for everyone, but if the concept sounds good I'd recommend it.

>>155295321

Have you still not gotten to a space station? Here's a tip. Don't just press on the fuel the whole way. Press it and let your momentum take you there. It's space, you will never stop moving forward. Be careful not to crash into things though.

There's no story or anything but really the main goal is to get the best spaceship you can. Do jobs for money and install modules to improve your ship. Or kill other ships that might have modules and take them. It's a game jam game but surprisingly big and well executed.

I'm not sure I like how the game essentially screams in your ear in the most hamfisted manner possible that gender is a construct, but other than that the game seems pretty nice, so far. It certainly isn't the most SJW'y thing I've seen endorsed by Kotaku, and at least there seems to be a core of good gameplay, though I can already see that it could have been much more. But, eh. Indie title.

I saw that artstyle and thought that Rimworld had gone on sale. Got my hopes up. Sad day.

Trying out vectors? They're cool, but I usually prefer sprites.

The one that's as pixelly as the new Nik and Midori pictures seems like the better idea so that they'll sorta feel consistence.

Isn't that the shitty Flash game Kazerad made?

Alright, cool, I'll go with that.

It's actually the original sprite magnified 2x and then smoothed manually, it's kinda annoying to do. It's actually what Nicalis did for the cave story remakes, thought I'd give it a try

>>155303909
I tried duelyst because of the free stuff. I honestly can not stand the blizzard card game shit and the pixel art while decent in itself is not my flair.

Tell me how to enjoy baroque. I tried it on the wii but the gameplay was just so bad and boring. I liked the little of the story I saw though.

Broforce is really fun the first time through. Garbage after that, but that first time is good

ayy lmao. I dunno, it doesn't feel like pandering. The character isn't like, FUCK NO ONE UNDERSTANDS WANTING TO HAVE A VAG. She doesn't get bullied over it. There's no mention of it anywhere outside of it being a mechanic to manage. It just feels like alien shenanigans. They don't even mention it in their websites. I haven't just let it go and see what happens when you don't. I suppose I could give it a shot right now.

I don't think this is the right thread for commenting on steam profiles.

>>155317557
It's the /indie/ steam group.

>>155317621
Oh, well shit, surprised I'm not a part of it yet.

>>155317694
It's deader than here, so not really that surprising.

Why is steam search so fucking horrendously garbage, it has fucking backslashes, this isn't hard.

>>155317992
There's a link in the OP, just use that

>>155317389
Yes you belong on /pol/ if such small fry shit triggers you this hard.

So you'd be okay if a game had a white supremacist character that was openly proud of his race?
