Heh, funny, I just got an email from those Universe Edge folks my own self.
Aero Chimera, a brand-new freeware vertical-scrolling shmup made by a good friend of mine from the shmups community. Just released twenty minutes ago!
@ WarpRattler, if you know it is good there is this other thread you could post about it in:
However if it is only probably worth knowing about, this is the place :)
Probably awesome (sounds it), a game a longtime coming but i don’t think i’ve mentioned it here before, Age of Decadence:

RPS writeup thingie here:
Sounds right up my alley, a realistic look at melee with swords etc in a crpg, ie you tend to get injured/die quite a bit.

OH YEAH.
Saw this one on indiegames.com:
Freaking Meatbags is a humorous RTS (that alone is something pretty unique!) where your units are humans that you gene-splice with aliens to make new units. Anyone play the Bullfrog flop Genewars? Hopefully this one goes further by having a lighter touch. On early access right now apparently.
The Bit.Trip guys have renamed themselves from Gaijin Games to Choice Provisions and announced a couple new games, including a realistic turn-based perma-death space survival game with dice and cannibalism. Looks pretty early, but these guys know how to deliver.
Tharsis does indeed sound promising, thanks for the headsup. And i am soo glad that it said ‘cannibalism’ and not ‘zombies’ (not that i advocate cannibalism so much as the indie/industry trope for zombies can do with a little rest sometimes).
‘Brigador’ (was called ‘Matador’ previously):

As a big fan of MechCommander, this is ticking some boxes.
Very, very charming visuals, visually stunning perhaps? ‘Ori and the Blind Forest’
And some RPS stuff:
And i love underwater games, and this one looks very pretty, ‘Abzu’:
And a bit more info on RPS:
Metrocide, a mashup of the old grand theft auto games and syndicate:
RPS splurge:
Now that’s a blurb I can get behind.
Hell yes. Where’s my top-down-driving-and-shooting-game renaissance already? Renegade Ops can’t do it all by itself!
I’d been looking around for something like Cube World, but wasn’t that other game Trove, and found this:
It might scratch that itch a little while we wait on Wollay :)
