>>729854673Minishoot Adventures was good.Barely anyone talks about it though, and it came out in 2024, not sure why you're targeting it specifically.

>>729854505
>>729855201Seeing this made me start to wonder: How many frog vidya protagonists are there? It feels like when it comes to games, they're more common than other animals.
>>729854673This looks cool, name?
>>729854673Minishoot was a great game though.
>>729855285Indies are uncreative that's why they all use frogs. Quirky chungus frogs.
>>729855212Her base sprite is the hottest, fucking love her expression.Also is the name of the game the filename or is it something else?

>>729854505>baiting people into recommending good indies
This image but replace McDonalds with Indie games and Roast Beef, Cheese, and Bread with retro games.
>>729857597>spend thousands of dollars on amazon to buy a scalped reproduction copy of an out-of-production game>or>spend 99 cents on an indie game that goes on saleNot the gotcha you thought it was, hombre.
>>729854607Oh shit Platypus. This game rocks. It's also like 20 years old.
>>729854505This has to be one of the most retarded bait posts I ever saw. Kill yourself.
>>729857976>He pays for retro games
>>729858079>play retro games because you can pirate themYou do know you can pirate indie games too, right?
>>729854597Because sliding is faster than running and there is no cooldown for sliding, you are obligated to slide everywhere.Other games stupid make jumping faster than running, so people just jump everywhere.If the very most basic aspect of your game hasn't been thought through properly, so the rest of it will be awful too.
>>729858198Everyone knows that holding W should be the fastest way to traverse the environment and that anything less is for tryhard Quake pros
>>729854505I'm not sure whats wrong with this specifically. My only gripe is there is very few indie games in which i want to play. This is my favorite indie game. Which says more about what i want but am still not quite getting catered to.
One type of indie game I find disappointing is when they put huge effort faithful retro style games that just do the same thing as the original. Why bother then? The point of recreating an old style should be expanding on it, putting on a new spin. One of my most influential games 20 years back was GTA San Andreas to give an example, if I had the skills or funds to recreate the gameplay and style I wouldn't use them just to make a gangster game set in early 90s California, I'd just use that vessel for a new story and go wild with the setting.
>>729858275>my name is not important tier edgy retardjust shoot up school or something already and fuck off
Since this is an indie threadI've been seeing a sudden influx of indie projects that try to target grafics, as though we need more AAA slop but "it's indie". Trying to mimic assassin's creed, god of war, the last of us, everything that is miserable garbage but makes zoomers very excited.
>>729858436Tranny.
>>729858291Thing is, people often don't want new games at all. Just old ones with a coat of paint so that they could replay their favorites all over again. You also get purists who don't like changes that go against their preferences or muscle memory.
>>729858275Still pissed at how violently shitty the first IV game is. That goes beyond the story, I don't give a shit about that and to be fair not a single SC story is good or captivating.
>>729858715Do you have any examples? I have no idea what you're talking about unless you're talking about AA stuff and Chinese/Indian upstarts
>>729854734>Look at older releases from the same dev
>>729857597>Retro games*good games, regardless of age.
>>729858860I was doing the usual youtube nonsense and saw a couple of examples in the shape of thinly veiled advertisementshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXYlPDKFBb4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-nnUUjEtCc
>>729859053Why would you even give a single thought to such repugnant clickbait? You might as well turn off your adblock.
>>729859237I'm trying to prove a point here
>>7298557521. It's not an indie game, it's AA2. People only felate it because it's a JRPG without the japanese part (normies hate asians, just look at how many people complain about persona being set in high school)3. There are way better indie RPGs that came out over the last few years that deserve the attention way more
>>729858715idk I think it's great people can make good looking games in their basements now. I don't really want all indie games to have ps1/pixelart/low-poly style just because they couldn't afford to develop the thing they were actually conceptualizing. just because it has good graphics doesn't necessarily mean the gameplay is also ubislop.
>>729854673>game is like zelda>doesn't have any puzzlesevery time
>>729859390It is largely what it's trying to emulate and the effort is put primarily in the technical aspects. The intent is to try to sell a game on good graphics here.
>>729859432God forbid someone use Zelda's formula to make a fun action game. Go play Pipistrello or something instead
>>729859053>UE5>indiewhy copy the worst aspects of the AAA? may as well go and sell for 80 dollars or something.
>>729858895Lol the game Sephonie is worse i think. Should have used that as an example. Like it's the most obvious tumblr blue hair designed game.
>>729859517Chasing the E33 money
>>729858715Good pixel art > muh graphics
>>729858715Sounds like you answered yourself. If you make things that look exciting to your potential customers, you have a chance of getting paid. Visuals have an informational value, telling you what to expect, like a pixelshit Earthbound clone about depression or low-poly mascot platformer.
>>729854505i look like this and do this
>>729859730I don't particularly care about pixel art, some of it is borderline disgusting, overdetailed and completely misses the point, but it seems a lot of indie devs are forgetting that gameplay is a very important thing about games before all this stylistic bullshit
>>729854505Uhh but you told me every indie game was a quirky earthbound inspired jrpg about depression.
>>729854505A large competitive market with low barriers to entry is going to have lots of imitators selling nearly identical products.
>>729859798Just have both good visuals and good gameplayhttps://youtu.be/ZcsN-4jxTbg

>>729855212>amateur bottom of the barrel boom shoot score attack:|>amateur bottom of the barrel boom score attack anime:)
Yesterday I bought thishttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1435410/Shrines_Legacy/Noticed in the forums that people are less concerned about how the game is and more concerned about it supposedly using AI assetsDo you think this is the next thing indie devs will have to look forward to? Trying to disprove they're using AI assets?
I bet none of you have played lyle in cube sector, or any of ikiki's games like hakaiman, or sexy hiking, or the vs rts puzzle game siege, or know what gamehippo was and therefore none of you actually have ever played an indie game before. you fucks might not even know about little fighter 2! as such, you should immediately all eat a bullet.
>>729860115by calling something you've never played 'bottom of the barrel' you're outing yourself as 100x more pleb than the people who gush over animu
>>729855752>literally everyone lovesIndia does not count for everyone, Anon
>>729860175You'll cowards don't even play Prospector. Plebes, all.
>>729860195Buy an ad, dev.
>>729857597>food analogy
>>729860175wrong, I did play lyle and I loved LF2, I actually found the latter on a CD with multiple random gamesI played Iji and Cave Story before it was popular, and Spelunky when it had mods and was free, and also I played an untitled story years and years and years before the dev uh, became something else, and I also played Knytt before the idea of Knytt underground was even formedAnd Zelda Classic
>>729860290>non-sequitorI accept your concession and am flattered you think I made the ugly animu game
most indie games i've seen are just the dev's nostalgia for a specific aspect of a game they played before and then hyperfocus it till it became unfun
>>729860195he's right it's just boring coomer shityou guys would make much better games if you didn't waste time on your fetishes
>>729860336Oh and M.U.G.E.N with completely nude characters from brazilian websites
>>729854673loved this gamedo AAAniggers really or is this just some ragebait
>>729855023When is this releasing?
>>729860174Seems like it's a small handful of retards and most people are pushing back on it.Albeit I blame the AIjeets more than the people being paranoid, because there are faggots out there trying to pass off gen AI as their own work. But in this case nothing in the game obviously pops out as being AI. Looks like plenty of other indie sprite-based RPGs.
>>729859798>that gameplay is a very important thing about games before all this stylistic bullshitNah i can respect it sometimes. This game looks beautiful. Arguably better than the Neverhood ever did, but that is also subjective.
>>729860007Man, I remember playing this for the first time.>get it from humble bundle or whatever>wtf is this shit how do you even play this>suddenly clicks>play for 5 hours in one sitting, extremely fun>never touch it againGood videogame

>>729861624Just wait until you find out that publishers like Devolver specifically focus on publishing indie games and they don't magically become AA just because they have a publisher
>>729854541Better yet never read an OP with retard shit
>>729861481You're crazy
>>729861663>Wtf why do they implement the fun things and not the bad things!
>>729861671Cool, do they also have 8-digit budgets and movie deals before their games are out?
>>729861663Same thing for platformers too>players like it when they can git gud at the game and skip sections by doing hard jumps like in Mario 64>so let's give them a double and triple jump and a glide you can immediately activate with the press of one button
>>729861671Ah yes because Ultrakill and Gloomwood should absolutely be classified as the same type of game as E33!
>>729854902unironic attempt at reverse psychology
>>729861709This is functionally and aesthetically different to troonslide.
>>729854505Only japs make good indie games. Western crap isn't even worth looking at.
>>729861720That's not an indie thing, nearly all platformers do that now. Nintendo started doing it as early as Mario Sunshine, and Odyssey is even worse about it.

genuinely, why do indie devs make "spiritual successors" of old games? if i want to play smash bros for example i'll just play smash bros. and i don't want smash bros but different or smash bros but with new characters. unless it's an official sequel then i'll play 60 bucks for it. anyway i forgot my point but this shit is stupid
