What's indie playing, making, or drawing?

>>155601282
I have a semi-developed idea for an exploration + RPG hybrid that I've been kicking around for a few months on and off. I've always wanted to do something like it, and I think I could pull it off given a year or two of active dev. Top-down for the exploration part and side view for the battle system, with the latter more focused on getting and combining abilities rather than leveling up. I'm still not sure if leveling up would even be a thing, since the player would only control the main character.

But I dread actually going the mile and sticking with it, since the actual time required may take far more than I can anticipate, and keeping motivated is difficult.

Whether or not to take it to Kickstarter is also a consideration, but then I'd be liable to provide some result.

What are some really atmosphere-centric or dreamlike games similar to Yume Nikki? Doesn't have to actually be about dreams.

Anyone play any of the Yume Nikki fangames? Supposedly there are a few decent ones but they don't sound very original.

Does it make any difference if I become a Rassaphore or a Investigator in Underrail?

Finishing battle animations and sketching the final area's in current RPGMaker project, I found a script awhile ago that turns the battle systems into the Press Turn System from SMT. It has helped me stay committed due to how badly I want it to see the light of day.

>>155603713
Darkest Dungeon has the best atmosphere I have seen in years and nightmare-ish enemies.

There are ton of great fangames, even though they are the same in concept, most are popular because they exceed Yume Nikki, examples like .flow (Focused atmosphere) and Yume 2kki (Content) are a must if you are just getting into them, but there are tons of hidden gems that you can only find by playing them for yourself.
Personal recommendations would be ME, -1 -Minus Ichi-, or Answered Prayers for something traditional.

For more original, play Middens, it is easily on of the best games I have played.

Aside from that, I believe Knytt and Knytt Stories both fit in that time range. I'm not entirely sure but I know they were pretty short.

Fuck Abyss Oddysey

Hey, if I go down to Deep Caverns in Underrail, can I get back up, or am I stuck there until I defeat the big bad? Can I buy TNT down there, I'd like to explore a bit.

>>155648649
Why?

Anyone know what engine Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor uses? I haven't played it but I sorta like how it looks.

Rando says he and his army were left alone but didnt rule Olathe like the guys on the list. What did his army do then? Where they soldiers of fortune for various warlords of Olathe?

>>155658397

I always found that justification for Rando not being on the list kind of weird. Mr Beautiful is left alone, if he wasn't, he'd get steamrolled. So why is he considered a warlord?

Rando's army has the widest influence. Even back when Buddy was a baby, and three "areas" away from his main base of operations, Rick was aware of Rando. Plus, we only ever see Rando's army looking for Buddy, not anybody from Vega or Dice's gangs (which is probably due to being well supplied, there is much more gas in Rando Land than anywhere else.)

>>155658397
The guys on the list were all from east Olathe. Rando probably controlled the western half, but didn't exactly rule it.

>>155659942
I think the lowest three were from East Olathe like Buffalo Van Dyke

>>155660096
They may have just been without territory, since they were the lowest ranked. All the guys with territory are found in the expansion.

>>155659430
Mr. B is well respected, out of everyones way, and a friend of Rando's. He's also powerful himself. We dont know exactly when he took up pacifism and mightve been a violent warlord then converted.
None of the larger groups mess with him and if a smaller gang tried to steamroll them, theyd face retribution from either Rando or the other warlords.

I'm looking for a game that makes me question my existence. I've played OFF and such and I deeply enjoyed it. What are some surreal games? RPG maker games are perfectly fine.

Inside. You won't be disappointed.

>>155664463
Stanley Parable I hear might scratch that itch.

>>155665474
>>155665345
I've played Stanley Parable, about time I replay it. Low cost/Free games would be appreciated, by the way.

>>155658397
Rando's army was probably just extremely powerful in size and power compared to the warlords that they backed away from confrontation with him out of respect, especially since he was not violent and territorial like they probably were. They just fended for themselves and as a result became territorial leaders through pure fear and power.

I suppose that with his power he allowed Mr. Beautiful's tribe to go on without fear of attack by having his name revered as a warlord. I overall feel the Warlords were a rather rational bunch of people who just bite back when bitten. Even Big Lincoln's few subordinates expressed the desire not to have to fight Buddy who was a legitimate menace to everyone. It's just the vast number of civilian crazies that people ever needed to worry about. The warlords put a leash on them and Rando pushed forward stable civilization.

it truly seems like /indie/ just talks about the same games, over and over and over again

and if you say anything even remotely critical of any of these games, you are shitposted at en masse, and it would seem the ""'/indie/ defense force""", so to speak, always uses the same memes in doing so, over and over and over again

the flow of discussion and content creation as well is held in an iron death-grip, day after day after day, by the same small handful of "big names", or """/indie/ personalities""", so to speak

I am asking then if there is a way to break this cycle, and create an environment in which there is no groupthink, and no """junta law""", so to speak

I mean, it's either normal or ultimate. Hard just means that the beastiary will forever taunt you with "you did good but not great".

Is Bud from Grow Home really procedurally animated? How is that possible

>>155725451
Yeah I think so. His animations are made to be affected by the physics or something like that. Sorta similar to how in Shadow of the Colossus the main character has a set animation in a sense but it's heavily affected by how he's affected by his momentum and environment like when he's getting flung around while holding onto a colossus, or at least that's sorta my impression at least. I honestly don't know exactly what it is or how it works but that's just how I assume Bud's movements work.

It was just indie games general up until last week and someone added the 'and obscure' part of the title.

I'm not sure why, we don't usually talk about obscure games.

>>155726798
It's an rpg maker horror rpg thing.

The designs are cool but the gameplay is pretty dreck, it's just the base rpg maker type thing.

>>155726798
Google "Central Station RPG", it's made by modernscars/modernscar

You're a guy stuck in a limbo, but the gameplay works like >>155727140 mentioned.

I think the coolest part were the enemies and the way the team member system was handled. You don't get to see what your team members look like, you're only given descriptions of what they look like before you obtain them. They include a skinned dog, a man who was torn into pieces and had his heart eaten before he was stitched back together, a guy who gradually turned into a bug man, and more

>>155727023
We should. But what does "obscure" entail?

Could you help me out /indie/?
I've decided to marathon the RPGMaker scene blind after occasionally hearing about it for years.

My current run has been,
OFF -> Yume Nikki -> Ib -> Mad Father -> Dreaming Mary
I wanted to play Witch's House but my computer refuses to install RPGMaker.
I also might add Barkley since it's been a few years since I played it.
I'm not sure what to play next, I looked through the pastebin but I thought it couldn't hurt to get suggestions directly from here.
I'm looking for horror games like most of the ones listed above and rpgs that don't try too hard to be Square.

>>155730275
There's always DashBored

You might not want to start with OFF though, it may be like blowing your load early.

Is there a video game character stronger than Brad Armstrong?

And I'm not talking about Brad Armstrong with one arm. I'm not talking about Brad Armstrong with both arms either. Hell, I'm not even talking about Joyed Brad Armstrong with both arms.

I'm talking about Level 25 Joyed Failure Brad with Mike's Belt Buckle and Queen Bands, with both arms so he can perform the Buster Punches and Machine Gun Fist, as well as being extremely skilled in the Armstrong Karate Style?

>>155730923
>You might not want to start with OFF though
That was a list of games I've already played since I started.
OFF was spectacular, and I still loved the other games. I'm worried now that I've played the big ones it's all downhill from here, but I felt the same way after Ib and I liked Mad Father and Dreaming Mary so I will remain optimistic.

I'm not sure if anyone remembers or even cares, but back when Stardew Valley General was a thing I started writing a fapfic for the guys there. Somewhere along the line I lost interest in writing it and stopped for a few months, only to pick it back up a week or so ago. Is it cool if I post the updated version in this general? Not sure if anyone here really wants to read it, but I felt like I should start finishing it.

>>155732362
>Blank Dream
Has some interesting puzzles and an alright story about an amnesiac girl stuck in a limbo

>Central Station
Standard RPG with neat enemy designs, it's more of an interactive art piece that made more sense the more you knew about the developer. Actually surreal

>Gingiva, Middens
Haven't got to try them out by myself, but some have said that if you liked OFF, they're worth a try

>Misao
From the same developer as Mad Father. Just OK, has some pretty bullshit deaths

>Space Funeral
One of the RPG Maker 'classics', it's best played going in blind

URI's game's:
>Mermaid Swamp
Not the best of Uri's games, but it's still worth playing

>Paranoiac
I think this is the spookiest one out of all of Uri's games. It's mostly about searching for keys, but the monster chasing after you is pretty spooky.

The Strange Men trilogy is worth checking out, the idea behind them is that each one of them has a different genre. In order they are The Crooked Man, The Sandman, and The Boogie Man.

The Crooked Man is a horror game about a man who decides to look into the past of the previous tenant of his apartment. It feels like parts of it are clearly inspired by Silent Hill 2

The Sandman is a more light-hearted game that's more like a fairytale. It's about a girl whose whole town falls asleep, and she's detemined to find a way to wake up everyone

The Boogie Man is more like a detective adventure game, and it's fully voice-acted. A detective goes to an castle tour with his wife, but ends up having to deal with serial murderer. I think this one is the hardest out of the trilogy, so you might need to keep a guide on hand if you want the best ending

>>155734585
Crooked Man was fucking horrible, I wouldn't recommend that boring shit to any anon

There is an object I need to use strength on in Underrail, but I had strength as a dump stat. What are items that can increase strength? I know there is rathound barbeque that raises strength by 1. Junkyard also has mushroom brew which can randomly raise strength by 2. I think the powerfist raises strength by 1 too. Any armors or hats or other items that raise strength? I think there are medicines.

>>155734713
It was pretty average, I felt like it was the weakest part of the trilogy.

>>155727023
I think it's been there for a few weeks actually and was added since we're always dead.

Hey /indie/, just finished LISA the Painful and I really enjoyed it. I now have an itch for games that let me go around finding people to possibly put in my party, in a collection-esque manner like Lisa. Doesn't have to be indie but it can't be Fire Emblem.

Can anyone help me?

JRPGs are fine but bonus points if its Western. Even more bonus points if the game is somewhat silly, and even more added to that if the characters have moves that align with their personality.

....somehow I'm starting to think that Lisa is the only game that does all this.

It's super addictive starting out, but once you exhaust the content of the game it gets dull. Big content update coming in October, but you'll have to start a new farm to get the most out of it.

My advice is to take your time with the game and for the love of god don't read any guides for it or you'll just ruin the experience of trying stuff out

I DON'T LIKE THIS

>>155768717
Yeah man I played the Acorn Archimedes verison.
Hard as shit, took me like 4 hours of playing to even get to level 4, and 2 more hours before I gave up. I don't think it's humanly possible to beat the game (it has 12 levels). Levels take a lot of memorization and have to be done fast because if you go slow you'll get killed by the rising water, and a ton of shit blends into the background.

>>155768968
So it wasn't really good?

>>155769226
I really like it but I have a warped sense of what's good and what's not.

>>155769359
Wait really? That's suprising considering what you said. What's to like about it?

>>155769542
It's actually a challenge, hardest game I've ever played, I don't think it's possible to beat it.
Very strange at first since it's supposed to be a kid's game platformer but the intro movie is kinda LSD-esque with techno music and text that says "GLOBAL CHAOS" (even though that's not on the Acorn version)
It's like an anti-cuttingdownrainforests game and the controls are actually pretty good, everything looking glitched really adds to the challenge but I think it looks nice. When you get to level 4 you get out of the rainforest level and get this >>155768194
and that's where I stopped, it seems there's a part in that level where you have to take damage which makes it really fucking hard since taking like 5 hits kills you, and even after practicing the game for 6+ hours I usually have like 3 hits left or less at that point.
There's a longplay on Youtube where the guy cheats, the other two environments are very weird but kind of look the same and remind a bit of the witch areas in the anime Madoka
so, really good atmosphere, might look like vomit to some, and hard as fuck, 100% no one has ever beaten it legit.

>>155770198
I don't see how that ever could be a kids platforming game.

>>155770643
>>155770198
FOrgot the second sentence. Is it like the box and sorta deceptive with its looks or something, like eversion?

>>155770848
Yeah, I doubt the people who wrote the quotes on the bottom of the box played past the second level. If they did they would at least realize that there's no difficulty balancing. Though I'd say 90% of people who actually played the games wouldn't make it past the rainforest levels.

>>155771073
Was this game even really sold or something? Could the quotes just be fabricated to add to the sort of illusion?

>>155771221
It was sold, got reviewed in magazines and stuff, mostly negative. The guys who made it also made this game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzFdXklTgww

>>155771978
Yeah it's legit. Appearently from what I've seen it's a text texture that they forgot to take out or something along those lines. They ironically made it as fucked as possible just so they'd remember to take it out, and look how well that went.

>>155771370
So I take it those review quotes on the box are very ironic and PROBABLY aren't really praising the game considering it was mostly negatively reviewed.

>>155790710
I'll copy paste what I said

I can tell you why that happens.
RPG Maker uses an invisible 3x4 grid for its character and event sprites. X axis is animation and Y axis handles different directions.

Since the grid is invisible, it can be easy for
beginners to place a character in an area where
they crossover the boundary, leading to a few
of their pixels overlapping with another
direction's sprite row, creating the problem seen
in your screencap.

Overall, even though its an easy mistake to
make, it's also and easy one to fix, so I'm not
sure why he didn't, although I'm guessing he
didn't really notice it.

I think you get sent to a separate room and have to wake yourself up? I don't really remember I'll get caught at some point and we'll figure it out together.
This game is setting me at a permanent 3 on the horror scale man I love this game it always gets me.

C-cute...

bump for nikkianon

>Oculus co-founder donates money to support the cause of meme magic
>Leftists paint him with the alt right boogeyman paintbrush and indie devs use it as excuse to drop support for Oculus
hmm

Elaborate this. I don't follow mainstream vidya too strongly. Did he post jokingly post Pepe online and get outed as some neo nazi or some shit?

Either fuck off to your shill central /pol/ or stop being triggered by people not worshipping your "god emperor".
That dude literally paid people to create pro trump memes and spread them on 4chan, 8gag and who knows where else.
Fuck that guy and FUCK YOU for ruining 4chan harder than any group before you.

And play fucking Moirai. It's free, short and good.

>>155801519
I was put off by your madpost but since the game is free and I just finished the last /indie/ game I was playing...

ZERO introduction after hitting start. My kind of game.
