>>695385251The dedication to keep editing these is admirable but Rabbit and Steel was actually good.
>>695388889It's a very trial and error game, one that encourages savescumming through unfair consequences to your choices.

>>695389307>It's a very trial and error gameI mean, it is faithful to the source material in that respect. Is it really savescumming though when it's a basic mechanic that you are encouraged to use? I played the game when it first came out and you actually did need to savescum, so the rewind thing is an intentional mechanic.>spoilerWe are agreed on that.
>>695389785I wanted to play new game+ with new options and I'm pretty sure that removes both the rewind function and your spellbound for some reason
>>695389961Weather update: losing rewind is a choice (why would anyone ever pick it?), you don't get the spellbound which took the wind out of my sails

I've been playing Picayune Dreams recently, a pretty neat and trippy roguelike, similar to Vampire Survivors in gameplay but more lively. I liked the overall style and some weapons are cool, though there doesn't seem to be that much content overall.

>>695383785Lately I've been mostly playing indie games and they are pretty good. Gris was beautiful, Tinykin is really fun and The Gardens Between was interesting. The others were fine.
>>695395040The Gris devs just released a game called Neva.
>>695387027I played and beat this game and absolutely hated it. This is coming from someone that grew up playing n65 platformers. level design was bad, music sucked, character designs were fine and they nailed the overall artstyle but it genuinely wasn't a good game.

>>695383785Heat Signature. Basically procedurally generated hotline miami in space. The dev is a one-man army who is probably the most consistently good indie dev out there for the past decade, he's pretty underappreciated though. I wonder if /v/ knows anyone as good as him that isn't known for one hit wonders or just sticks to one genre over and over.
>>695405476I loved Heat Signature but a few too many problems were solved by hijacking a ship unrelated to the one your mission was about and using it as a battering ram on your mission ship.
Maybe the devs are trannies, but Unsighted was really good and I will therefore look forward to ABYSS X ZERO.

Skeleton Boomerang is pretty great. Godlike soundtrack, a pretty fun-to-master gimmick, and it has a roguelike mode DLC full of new levels that I hate because I think that genre sucks. Also, it's getting an update soon for some reason.HorrorVale is a game I liked way more than I expected to. I figured it was just going to be a good enough playable Halloween special with lacking gameplay because, in these types of games, it's usually only a vehicle for the art and writing. But it was fucking great. It's still what you probably expect just a lot better.
>>695383785Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children

>>695383785Blue Revolver.
Gravity Circuit is cool in a very straightforward way. Nice aesthetic, quick movement, sincere plot.My only warning is to practice avoiding damage rather than just caveman'ing through until you can't. Because you can do that up until like the final level, at which point sunk cost really kicks in and you may be tempted to put on damage reducing upgrades and that's for cowards.

Most 'indie' games fit into one of these two categories now>2d shooter pixelslop>western/korean animeslopAnything that isn't that is at least worth checking out.Indie gaming was a mistake. The truth is, to make games that are actually good, you need multiple different people who specialize in different fields. A writer, a director, an artist, a musician, a programmer...The better indie games that come out usually are made by small teams that have a few guys that specialize in a certain field, or are made by a turbo-autist.You would think that with how accessible game production is now, there'd be much more creative games being released. But most indie games actually all look and feel very similar right now. It's likely a consequence of our society changing and not how people approach games, because before 2016, you'd get all kinds of really creative flash games coming out with unique visuals and earnest writing, all made by 1-2 people. People nowadays actively avoid being different, despite claiming otherwise and attaching hundreds of different identities to themselves
BallisticNG, there's always a thread up on /vm/ too though I don't touch multiplayer myself because:>mines>mines>mines>mines>minesisn't really why I like Wipeout.
>>695429012>rixels>mixelsim good
>>695383785any indie game that's actually unique and not just copying an idea?
>>695433159You aren't really forced into engaging with the settlement mechanics in Elin, though they are probably the best way to make money. There's also much less focus on them in Elona, assuming you haven't already played it.You could also try out Hero's Adventure: Road to Passion. It has some balance issues and accomplishing certain tasks can be pretty grindy, but it's good at affording the player a lot of freedom without becoming directionless.
>>695441601I really can't think of anything like Skeleton Boomerang.

>>695449189The later games introduce more mechanics and enemies (and stuff like alternate weapon types to change up the pacing) and also turn up the difficulty quite a bit.The worldbuilding also gets surprisingly in-depth.
