What do we think about The Indie Game Awards 2025 GOTY nominees, anons?https://www.indiegameawards.gg/
Expedition 33 IS NOT A FUCKING INDIE GAME
silksong is not an indian game
Pixurbia should have won
>>726032724So do Hades and Silksong, but we're not ready for this conversation.
No Jap games huh? These goy awards do not reflect the opinions of real gamers.
>>726032628E33's not indie, no matter how you slice it. It'd still lose the category to Hades at the Game Awards regardless, though.
>>726032628deltarune got snubbed
You can't tell me half those games weren't nominated because the devs know the people running the awards
OOOOH OOOOH OH MY SCIENCE I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHO WINS THE BLACK VOICE AWARD!!!!These "people" need to be purged from the industry yesterday..
What are your favorite black, lantix and woman made games of the year?
>get da milk>finding father >ikeelya
>>726032628They are all absolute garbage
>>726032628This is what you call indie these day?
I like how there are no japanese or chinese releases because mutts would rather worship niggers than enjoy good games.Anyway for me it's Ender Magnolia
>>726032628This feels so obviously astroturfed>AbsolumVERY Recent release but was not a major blow up and didn't do anything special for beat em ups. It's not even better than SoR4. Feels like these devs either bought their placement or nepo'd their way in.>E33Obviously>Hades 2Makes sense>SilksongAnother obvious one>PipistrelloThis is a nice one. Not a mega hit but was still a very solid and well designed game. Definitely one of the better indies this year so feels like an earned placement.>and Roger, Consume Me, Citizen Sleeper 2These are forcedand Roger has 642 reviews, and Consume Me has 425 but these games have had no online presence at allCitizen Sleeper 2 has 1567 reviews but this looks generic and forgettable as hell. This game isn't on the same level as any of the actual hit indies this year.
>>726034854>>726033935you don't even need to write jokes, there is no exaggeration that would make things funnier than they already are.
>>726032803What makes Silksong non-indie? The devs being rich from previous game?
>>726032628i didnt play any of those games, didn't know they even existed, and I will continue this trend and go on to play an amazing game from the past I still havent gotten around to completing
>>726033935>41 reviews>Becomes a nomineeWas the awards always a joke?
>>726033935They made an IKEA game?
>>726033935Just looking at this reminds me how little time I had this year to play video games.
>>726039392I am pretty sure that the TMNT game and Duck Detective were only ones out of those who had any popularity and visibility.
>>726032628I have "safe indie" fatigue
>>726032803Silksong has 3 (three) developers and no publisher. It's the very definition of indie.Slit your throat please.
>>726039759For me it is StarVaders.
>>726039759There's nothing worse than an award where one of the games obliterates the other 4 so there's no real vote here.
>>726033935Is this actually real kek>>726039759>RatatanThat game isn't even finished
>>726032724>>726033123Man the budget of COE33 was like the budget of new swimming pool for my villa in Cyprus
>>726038315i didn't play citizen sleeper 2 but the first one was pretty good and had a decent amount of buzz surrounding ite33 isn't indie btw
>>726032628y tho
Öoo, Pipistrello, and Silksong were the only good indies I played this year. E33 isn't indie and Blue Prince is massively overrated. Everything else seemed like art or roguelike slop.
>>726032628for me, it's million depth
how the fuck is expedition, hades and skilksong indiethey are AA games
>>726040607trve for e33 and hades but silksong was made by 3 guys
>>726039983I literally just got done playing that, and for me, it's Kaia.Top-3 indie game this year.
>>726032628Silksong and it's not even close
>>726032628>consume meBUY HER GAME
>>726033935>African game award nominees:>Finding Fathercan't make this shit up lmao
>>726032628Isn't this award completely user-based?
>>726033253It should be finished first before being up for any awards
>>726038819This one has just 21.
I did the research for you guys https://youtu.be/rdPKcXy47r0
>>726032628several of these games had less than 100 concurrent players ever
>>726032628>My indie games of the year both have more reviews but are suspiciously absent from the list for some dogshit game s Curious
>>726041275No, there is separate user suggestion category.
>>726032628Absolum is so fucking bad it's not even funny
>>726042087>Get shilled this game>Indian inspired roguelite beat em upI have never clicked off a game faster
>>726032628>e33>>>>>>>>>>indieWhat the actual fuck?
>>726039759Tell me about Everdeep Aurora
>>726042482>Disingenuous and retards in the Vidya journo spaceNo...
>>726032628This awards is totally woke. Instead of categories like best story, best art, best gameplay; they have best women team, best black team, best Latino team. If there isn't an Indie Games Awards without activists, we need to create one.
WHAT THE FUCK DOES INDIE MEAN
Why is there no category for autistic people? Isn't that as much of a minority as most of these categories?
>>726042823games without publishersthis excludes most currently defined "indie" games though so the definition has been stretched to some arbitrary standard where stuff like E33 and Dave the Diver are considered "indie"
>>726032628Monster Train 2 deserves GOTY for its cool political stuff alone
>>726043106Dave the diver was never indie. It just pretended to be one. E33 was thought to be indie until people did some digging then lo and behold... Nope massive outside funds
>>726041180and get da milk
>>726043209It was my favorite too but I guess it doesn't really need The Dorito Award's approval
>>726033935> you're not good enough to compete with whites so here is your participation trophy
>>726039825kys lying cunt
>>726043638What part of that post is dishonest?
>>726032628WHERE'S PROJECT NORTUBEL?
ball x pit bros...?
>>726032628E33, hades2 and silksong aren’t indie.
>>726038485Yes. The monetary value of the marketing provided by the first games’ popularity alone goes over any indie budget. Same for hades2.
>>726044038I fucking hate hollow Knight how isn't it indie?
>>726044135>>726044116
>>726042489 Everdeep Aurora is that pixel-art exploration-platformer where you play as a little mole character digging deeper into a surreal underground world. Think cave story meets metroidvania but with a trippy aesthetic and weirdly wholesome NPCs. It’s got a cozy vibe but there’s some kind of looming cosmic horror under the surface, literal and metaphorical. Music slaps too. I wouldn’t call it GOTY or anything but it’s peak comfy-core for a rainy weekend.
>>726044116They had fuck-all marketing except release date announcement.
>>726044135>>726041834
>>726032803>>726044116>>726044038Indie means not published by a huge company.
>>726038315>as any of the actual hit indies this year.Like?
>>726032724what's more offensive? E33 in an indie GOTY contest or Silksong in a general GOTY contest.
>>726049971It's more offensive for you to be blasphemous.
>>726032628Pipistrello & the Cursed Yo-yo looks like a cute game
>>726050293It's better than most 2D Zeldas.
What is an indie game?
>>726043209>>726043424I kind of get that one guy who keeps posting about how Valve abandoned Artifact now that I've played inkbound.I mean I'm sure they're making lodsemone with MT2 but I don't want to buy it now.
>>726049564Nyooo you don't understand silkniggers don't count because I don't want them to!
