>What the heck is this
/indie/ is the general for all indie games, such as Age of Decadence, A Hat in Time, Axiom Verge, Baba Is You, Battle Brothers, Battlerite, Card City Nights 2, Cave Story, CrossCode, Cultist Simulator, Darkwood, DashBored, Dead Cells, The Desolate Hope, Disco Elysium, Environmental Station Alpha, FTL, Guacamelee!, Hollow Knight, Knytt, LISA, Lobotomy Corp, Machinarium, Middens, Monolith, Monster Train, Noita, OFF, OneShot, Rimworld, Rain World, Slap City, Slay the Spire, Starsector, Subnautica, Sunless Skies, Tooth and Tail, Underrail, VA-11 HALL-A, Yume Nikki, etc., as well as other games that just don't fit in any other general such as Atelier, Pillars of Eternity, Rayman, and Valkyria Chronicles. /jrpg/ is welcome. Idle games are cool too.
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, 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.

Just tried out the demos for Toziuha Night: Nosferatu's Curse, Accursed and The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest. All very good shit. Even if Konami isn't making any more Classicvania games (and arguably aren't making anymore Igavania games if Belmont's Curse is any indication), at least the indie scene is still keeping that type of game alive.

Finished Amid Evil save for the DLC, although it was one of the first games from the retro shooter revival thing, it is nowhere near as fun as Dusk. It's not bad either, but it suffers from having 2 really boring episodes. And also from the fact that it's generally far too abstract for my liking. It's not as abstract as something like Quake 1 or DOOM but it gets pretty close at times. You can generally feel what the level is kind of supposed to be. "Oh this is a temple/Oh this is a monastery/Oh this is a tower/Oh this is a village-esque place" but besides that there is not much showing the purpose of any of the places involved. The two weakest are Domain of the Sentinels which genuinely just feel like a mediocre quake level pack and The Sacred Path which although not as abstract, is just really samey in its theme and not in an interesting way. All of the other episodes though are cool. But the game doesn't have much in terms of stuff you can do with it at the end of the day, and the constantly changing enemies really make it hard for you to get used to any of them or for any of them to stand out. It's still a good game. But so far it's the most uninteresting New Blood game. Not bad, because New Blood published games so far were all good, but definitely the least fun. But that might be because the competition is so strong. You could get Ultrakill or Dusk from the same publisher.

Its basically nothing but butchered quotations of Lovecraft books with hamfisted political commentaty inbetween like some nazi footsoldier having ptsd over muh evik actions (when the game is happening like 10 year prior ww2 or someshit) and the shoggith et ap are reduced to unmoving set pieces on the level . I mean fuck they didnt even bother to make it one long walking strech, its fucking instanced and separated in arbitrary parts, like you end a level in front of ruin and start the next in a cavern. Like why even fucking bother making the main character a penguin if it bring nothing to the table? Why the fuck allow us to use different species of penguin if the only useful one is the rock climbing one as it allow you to get around the godawful platforming?Honestly a bad experience, wouldnt recommend and requesting a refund.

I managed to brick my save in two different Metroidvanias this month. In Pharaoh Rebirth+ a boss carried me through the end of level trigger with an attack and that put me back to the level select screen. Because the level was cleared the boss was gone, but because I hadn't beaten the boss I couldn't re-fight him and the next stage hadn't unlocked. In Plus Ultra: Legado I pogo'd off a wall I couldn't break yet through the ceiling of the level and landed on the other side of the wall, and exploring over there put me in a boss fight that immediately set a bunch of story flags and rendered the game unbeatable.I do this to myself but it does keep happening.

So, Guild Wars 1 introduced a "hero" system years ago, where you can not only equip your own character, but you can also fully equip & create builds for NPC characters in your party. This has been pretty universally loved.What other multiplayer games / MMOs do you guys think would be improved by letting you fully gear and control NPCs as party members?To me the most obvious is Division 2. I would love to do dungeons and raids by myself.

So question for the anon who played Subteranean; mines of titan, I have a question; where the fuck is the B03 mine storage keycard? I heavily suspect the reactor relay is there, but I seem to have explored the whole floor and I cant find any new paths where the keycard would be. I tried exploring further and even reached b04 and b05 but didnt find anything.The only theoretical path I can think of is that there is a secret hole somewhere that I can dive down into that allow me to the separated section of the first farm layer, but I cant seem to find anything, my character pass a comment when in the storage room just before the market but I cant figure out what exactly im supposed to interact with, and its annoying me because every trek down there require a long ass detour from b02 downward.

I'll probably never play Star Valor again after the station update fucked up everything, but humor me anyway. Do bases finally restock their faction-specific items, or are they still gone forever once you buy them?

I hate Quasimorph because I have a crippling need to hoard every scrap of loot but it only lets me take like 10% of the shit that's laying around and it physically pains me.

I need a new mainline game.
Maybe something with community servers, like the old days.

Trying to do a full playthrough of Postal 2 on postal difficulty for the achievement.
It took me two and a half hours to get through Monday. I don't think I'm good enough for this.

You know, I kinda really *really* like how Helldivers II handles. It's probably the best "feeling" tps out there. The weapons feel nice and beefy, I like that crosshair + circle that indicates where the barrel of your gun is actually pointing combo, so when you take something like a heavy machine gun, and and you swish your mouse around, you can see where your character is actually aiming, and it gives "weight" to your weapons. Kinda makes me wish there were decent single player games that played more similar to HD2.

Are you kidding me?
Secrets in this game are something else.
