Little Indie Games Worth Knowing About (Probably)

Here’s the Twitter thread, by the way, in case anyone is curious…

I didn’t make a thread for the game, since I thought it was standard practice that an indie game isn’t “worthy” of its own thread until it’s released and deemed a quality title. But, please, if such a practice doesn’t exist, go for it! I don’t mind if someone else creates a thread for it.

And if you do @Misguided, do let me know so I can hang out there :D

I believe a game thread can be created for any game! @tomchick can give his final say. But I myself just make a thread if its something I find interesting and want attention and discussion focused on it, regardless of its quality and or release status. :)

We’ve had game threads for plenty of early access games. I don’t see how this is different.

@democritus I will definitely spend more time with it (I’m on the second map), but my son and I have been waiting for Destiny for months, so that’s a major distraction right now :D

Oh I get that. I sunk ~700h into Destiny 1 and I’ve been going hard on Destiny 2 on the PS4. I’ve been at ALMOST max light for a while now - and sort of burnt out on it. Waiting for more content. The run up to endgame is stellar, endgame itself… not so much.

Just an alpha demo right now. Hopefully I’ll have time to look at this at the weekend.

Wheels of Aurelia

I really wanted to like this game; an interesting topic and a nice art style, and some great soundtrack as well. But… it’s a game about driving on the Via Aurelia, and the driving is both not the point of the game and actually terrible. They should have either actually made the driving much more interesting and/or just removed it and made it a “walking sim” in a car.

There’s a big Chronicon update due in November. Gonna be a sale then too.

We all love Chronicon, right? Such a slick game.

I never heard of Chronicon…

notsure

Totally, and checking it out, it seems like a weird beast.

God damned right.

I never heard of it either.

…And looking at the Steam page I can see it’s not for me,

Speaking of stuff I don’t think was mentionned, I grabbed Creepy Castle.

First impression is very good: it’s a sort of Metroidvania with turn based very basic combats, excepting when they mix action minigames reminding me of Princess Remedy or Undertale. The setting is quite lovely too, so far.

I grabbed a little breakout clone named Strikey Sisters too, and boy, that one is hardcore: I have yet to get through the first stage.

Is it exiting Early Access then?

notsure

Never heard of this either, and it looks really cool!

Speaking of stuff I never heard about, anybody played Warsim?

It is supposed to be an ASCII kingdom manager game. Reigns, but with actual gameplay?
Oh hell, I will probably grab it before long.

I just got Warsim, and it looks fascinating so far.
