/v/ is fucking terrible today, so let's have a freeware thread. Post whatever freeware you've been playing recently— fangames, overhaul mods for HL2 or Doom, doujin shit, weird itch.io indies, whatever.If you call anyone other than yourself a shill you're a faggot.
I have been playing Quarantine Crystal, preddy good Pokémon romhack and I think it's /vp/ made. The fakemon quality is surprisingly high
>>739245527>The fakemon quality is surprisingly highGot any examples?
>>739245368Freeware games should be illegal becuase you don't have to pay for it which means companies like Nintendo don't get money.
Voices of the void
PC Gamer used to run this piece called like Free Games of the Week which was cool. It's where I found out about Gang Garrison 2 and Inscryption before it was Inscryption. I think the only way to check them now after some site overhaul is the Wayback Machine.
Ill just link this guys entire itch.io page here since I think all his shmup games are pretty cool. His danmaku games have a slow-mo mechanic instead of bombs so I think theyre pretty easy to learn and the visuals and music are cute and cheerful so that it feels relaxing to play.https://nizakashii.itch.io/
I've been working on custom maps for picrel, mostly. Almost have a full cup (5 race, 2 battle) done. i fucking hate waypoint setup so much
>>739245589I like the big rock :)
>>739245874I also like this big rock
Play Treasure Adventure Game if you haven’t. Lots of soul.

Coming in here to recommend Stunt Rally again. It's made by one Polish guy obsessed with power metal. The game features 232 tracks, 33 cars, 40 environments, supports up to 6 players at once and has a robust level editor. My one caveat is that the current version (v3.x) is not at all friendly to low spec devices, so if you're like me and still running a shitbox then get v2.7 as that is the latest before he reworked the render engine. If you like time trials in fantasy worlds then you will probably enjoy Stunt Rally. I also firmly believe It's one of the few racing games to have loop-de-loops in it and make you actually feel like you're fighting against gravity while pulling it off.
>>739247016I feel like freeware racing games tend to be disproportionately high quality for whatever reason. Something about them attrats the good kind of autist.
>>739247584It is mainly because they all build off of one another. Stunt Rally is a fork of VDrift, Speed Dreams is a fork of TORCS and BeamNG could not have existed without Rigs of Rods. You can even see this with Ring Racers and SuperTuxKart. Heck, outside of driving games there's DarkPlaces and every single arena shooter it spawned, intentional or not.
>>739245368Bump for interest.
>>739246709It's a boring piece of shit.>Items aren't fun to use (you have one weapon and it's janky)>hilariously bad attempt at drama (your character has one line and it's "no dad no!")>really unsatisfying final boss and endingThe only good thing about it is the soundtrack
For some reason the only free games I can remember playing recently are room escape gamesThis one is pretty chill, very short:https://store.steampowered.com/app/3782030/Astral_Lodge/And this guy just makes free room escape games, ranging from alright to bangershttps://colorbomb.itch.io/One of his games is on steam, probably the best one:https://store.steampowered.com/app/3361770/Escape_from_Castle_Claymount/

https://anuke.itch.io/mindustry - Factorio-lite RTS/Tower defense. Bigger impact on combat compared to Factorio but with smaller maps instead of one huge overworld. Units scale up pretty hard, higher tiers can get pretty crazy.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2551500/__KANNAGI_USAGI/ - a free Sekiro clone bossrush, not much else to add.https://rtsdimon.itch.io/panzershoot - found this one recently, a simple but nice looking top-down shooter, reminded me of Crimsonland.https://store.steampowered.com/app/41100/Hammerfight/ - one of my personal favorites, a fairly unique game where you control a helicopter with a hammer by simply moving your mouse. Very satisfying combat once you get a hang of it, but also rather janky.Some dev pages with shitposts or general weirdness(mostly free)https://gzstorm.comhttps://revengeofthesunfish.com/gamesarc.htmlhttps://harmonyzone.org/Videogames.htmlhttps://gasejj.wa-sanbon.com/game.html (might need to change system locale to jap for these)https://wraxall.itch.io/nice-frog-village

An untitled story is a genuine classic, as a kid it's what made me fall in love with metroidvanias.

>>739251190OG Spelunky is honestly more enjoyable than HD for me just for the actual interesting mods like Tastes Like Spelunky, plus the George Buzinkai music.
anyone know if theres a good archive for Speder2's games? I'm surprised I haven't seen them uploaded alongside his music on IA

>>739252372The "Doom: The Golden Souls" duology (soon to be trilogy) kinda counts.
>>739245368Crazy, I don't play freeware a lot but SMT Synchronicity popped into my head just yesterday and I beat it againIt's such a great little game and it even got an English fan translation

Would you guys consider defunct MMOs you can play as freeware? I've been eyeing Universal Century Gundam Online but there aren't any private servers for it and I was wondering if it's fun hosting a singleplayer server. I sadly missed the MMOdventure that /vm/ did
Ikiki has made a huge amount of gamesHakaiman (はかいマン) and Nikujin (にくじん) are greathttps://ikiki.la.coocan.jp/himoji/game.htmhttps://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/11090
>>739249253I guess I agree. It’s not worth playing. Forget what I said.
I've been getting back into The Dark Mod. It's basically Thief on the Doom 3 engine. It's still getting yearly updates.
>>739245713Confirmed. All of the articles for "best free games of the week" just link back to a crappy best free games page instead. Wayback Machine is the only way.
>>739251190It's one of those games I want to like but it has one severe flaw: the collision detection is square-based and doesn't correspond to the Paint-based environments.Given how often you have to do pixel-perfect jumps off edges it's extremely easy to end up doing a mid-air jump instead by accident because you don't really know where the edge even IS.
Cube 1 and 2. Are there any freeware RPGs?
Help me find a freeware game /v/It was just a metroidvania with dark backgrounds and enemies with simple outlines and shapes (not VVVVVV).
it had some cool features I wish were standard in survival games namely setting up what kind of biome and size you wanna generate

>>739245368>today
>>739257352Might need more to go off of then that.First thing that came to my mind is the knytt series or K.O.L.M, is it either of those?

>>739258202evaXephon (YandereDev) tried ripping off this game before yandere simulator
>>739258465oh wow. i wouldn't mind more games that are a mix of system shock 2 and metroid desu but seeing as how yandere sim hasn't gone anywhere in years, it's probably a good thing he didn't end up making a game like iji
A lot of the ones I like are Sonic-related.
>>739258918Favorite character mod?
Bump
>>739260686Cacee
>>7392565032.4 ruined it though
technically counts because it was made free by the US army or some shit
>>739257352Is it Lyle in Cube Sector? Never played it but people rave about it.
>>7392609982.4 made it better, though, EXP is a genius system and so are Amps
>>739261134Nah
>>739256020Sadly no. Just scenarios and free play.
>>739254486>>739254787iirc it's been relocated to different wiki hosts a few times, possibly with different maintainers. I think the last time it got deleted from a popular wiki site simply due to association with 4chan.
>>739261134It also made several trap items more visible. I can understand not liking EXP, but being able to avoid that fucking bubble is worth it. The hog bombs are something I'm mixed on. I finally figured out how to use them when they changed them, so now I need to learn how to use them again. They should've deleted the drop target, though. Fuck those run rapists. Getting stunned for several seconds is less devastating than being flung 50 meters across the map.
>>739257327Man I remember playing Cube 2 map editor mode with internet strangers and thinking it was way better than that new indie building game everyone was talking about, "Minecraft".
>>739261562>They should've deleted the drop target, thoughIt's way less fucked up than it was before, at least, since the whole "you can't hit your own items" change means you pick it up if you collide with it twice in a row. It also means you get amps from the next person who hits it, so sometimes if you're already going slow it can be worth tapping the Drop Target to switch its alliance.
>>739249253>your character has one line and it's "no dad no!"But anon, it’s goofy time

>>739256247I only played one towelket game(the one with robots) and wasn't particularly impressed, but the music is indeed great. I was amazed to find a whole repository of midi tracks with several hundreds files in game sound folder. Especially love Moonlight Sonata from there, keep listening to it from time to time.
>>739245368SA used to have a massive collection of freeware as one big download back in the day. Had basically every single quality freeware release and then some from before 2010, many in portable form. Does anyone know if that or something like it still exists?
>>739250103>Revenge of the SunfishAnd here I thought I was the only person in the world who played this weird ass game. I still don't even know what to make of it.
>>739245368I very much recommend Type Help for people who like puzzles (paid premium version will hit steam this year I think):https://william-rous.itch.io/type-helpAlso played these two puzzle recently, pretty good, though I think it had more guessing than I wanted:https://bushmonkey.itch.io/what-happened-to-the-crewhttps://bushmonkey.itch.io/the-red-pearls-of-borneo

>>739245368I want to dip my toes into Shmups and I heard Touhou 7 is free and a good intro so I got it
>>739256518Abandonware fits them better I think
>>739254178>game I worked on is on the listalways makes me feel tickled pink. getting featured in the pixelprospector video list of 200+ freeware games alongside the likes of cave story, iji, and spelunky has made me associate the Bit Shifter album with that same lofty feeling. Feels pretty alien that it was over half my lifetime ago though and I've accomplished nothing with it lmao.A contribution to the thread topic aside from the obvious suggestion I would make if you knew which game I worked on:Discovered an android repairing game called D1AL-ogue. Apparently it's a student project so they didn't want to charge money for it. Not too hard, but I like the visuals a lot. I actually stumbled into it because of an entirely unrelated /v/ thread a month(?) ago that brought attention to schools that published student projects onto steam so I went digging.Next Fests demo threads are also a great source of finds if you have the stomach digging through the piles of trash.
Been playing through Shanghai.EXE again with the new randomizer.
>>739245368Beyond All Reason is one of the best freewares and one of the best RTS ever madehttps://www.beyondallreason.info/
>>739267527It's not free but everyone pirates touhou anyways.If you want strictly freeware there's countless free touhou fangames out there, the thing is touhou knowledge mostly translates best into other touhou games, not all of shmups, so I'd recommend you also check out Cho Ren Sha and Blue Wish.Also touhou 6 is a better starting point imo
>>739268312>It's not freeIt's not? I got it from herehttps://moriyashrine.org/resources/touhou-7-youyoumu-perfect-cherry-blossom.10/But cool I'll try Touhou 6 too
>>739268386Yeah that's pirate. Sorry anon, you're going to jail.
>>739245368Ad mortem for doom 2 is really good. It was made by /vr/ anons, they’ve made other wads too but I think this is the only good doom mod they’ve made so far.. the rest is just boring slop
>>739245368Beyond All Reason is the best multiplayer RTS of the past 20 years and its cousin Zero-K is one of the most creative. Amazing games that avoid so much of what I don't like about RTS.
>>739264817After playing a bit, I'm really loving some of the QoL they added. The updated tileset is pretty nice too. Alters are visually different, you can swap places with peaceful dudes, you can tip out containers, and it even gave me a warning when I tried to accidentally step into a bear trap I knew about.

Star Control II has hands down the most "alien" feeling Aliens I've encountered in vidya. It's worth playing just for them, alone, but it thankfully also offers solid space exploration with lots of optional side objectives and secrets to uncover.

A very weird twin stick action RPG where you play as the amalgamation of humanity condensed into a floating mask. It's called The Midnight Station.
>>739245368Over a decade ago, I played some first person dungeon crawler called Berserker Quest VI. I mainly remember it busting my balls, but it was neat at the time. I also use to play Gang Garrison 2 quite a bit since my PC at the time was too garbage to run TF2 even.
oh okay. sometimes I buy the random mystery keys for a dollar but usually they are crap. I don't want them polluting my library. So you guys can just have it.This is the game:https://store.steampowered.com/app/2113040/RUNGORE/I'll give it a minute or two before I post the key so you can decide if you want to go for it at all, rather than you redeeming the key ASAP because reading the steam page will take too long and will mean you don't get the game because someone beats you to the punch.

>>739245368I'm a big fan of Metroid Planets. It's a remake of Metroid 1 that does it's level best to make that a good game without turning it into something else like Zero Mission did.It also has an incredible randomizer that might as well be the Metroid Equivalent to Mario Maker. There are already tens of thousands of user created rooms so even with a curated pack you can play for ages and still see new things.

I know RPG Maker games tend to get a bad rep nowadays but I URGE everyone to try playing through the Towelket games. They're extremely funny/kino/based on so many levels. It's an older Japanese game series so the dev holds nothing back, it honestly feels refreshing to play something that clearly isn't held back by censorship/concerns over public image and just shows the dev going full crazy over both perverted stuff and genuinely creative stories. Also there's a bunch of games but they're all separate from one another so you can just pick out the ones that sound the most fun.Nekoashi Otome Wondergirl feels like the perfect /v/ shitpost game but it actually evolves into a really fun game. If you're looking for stupid fun game then try it out.https://patchy-illusion-team.itch.io/wonder-girl-nekoashi-otome

>>739245368GoG and Steam have a number I tried in my poor college years. Outside of those I liked the following: Nitronic Rush, Titanion, Power Bomberman, Hydorah, Momodora, AM2R, Hydra's Castle, La Mulana, OFF, Torus Trooper, Sunrider, Story of a Lost Sky and plenty of abandonware DOS games.

>>739283140RTS are in its best rnYou have to understand that most people that claim to play RTS never actually played them outside 5 hours in easy when they were 10But BAR particularly is a very very good game overall, it's a remake/sequel to Total Annihilation and is super polished and very easy to play and learn but hard to master. Its got up to 8v8 and several PvE modes and challenges with shitton of content and pretty explosions. You can dick around or play competitive, the game design is just good (because TA was good)

>>739283140>What makes it so good compared to other games?The shilling. BARafags are absurdly hostile to new players (yes, even by rts sweatlords standard) and are desperate to bring in new meat to have something easy to dab on.You will have more fun challenging a korean at Brood War than joining a BAR lobby tagged newcomers-friendly.
Been playing roguelikes again. Kimchi Crawl, Bright Nights, and Elona+ mostly.
>>739285179It's ok I'll play single player till I git gud
Anybody know where I can find old comiket/doujin games? Even a list of stuff would be nice. Before the days of slop engines, autistic japs would literally program their own engine and make niche games for comiket. I miss seeing that kind of stuff.
>>739272604this>>739284952candybox sucks. farm caps at 100 lollipops/sec but the game doesn't tell you. instead of idling, the game is about stocking up potions for ages and then using them all at once because you can't beat most quest rooms otherwise. and if you fuck up a quest you lose hours worth of potions. and there is no way to speed up the way, questing in the swamp gives you jackshit. and then there's one-offs like one-time spells that double your shit but you have no idea when to use as you don't know what's coming or how long the game even is. it's fucking annoying to play.
Holy fuck I am actually filtering BAR. Already had enough of you insufferable niggers in RTS threads.
>>739285584I'm about 99% sure it's just one extremely autistic tard doing it.
>>739272604Kittens Game and Evolve Idle are the two classics.But would also recommend proto23 for a game that's utterly incomplete but has the strongest foundation any idle game's ever achieved. Even its clones can't copy the soul.
>>739286138Ok but it's not Anti-Idle.
Time Tripper is a really good doom mod
>>739285281... there is next to no single-player content.
>>739245368Icy Tower was pretty fun for a while
>>739272604There's always antimatter dimensions.It's the kind of idler that's tough to get into if you're a brainlet, but if you aren't then it's a fun exercise in optimizing.
>>739277881I second Heroine's Quest, I'd say it's even better than the Quest for Glory games.
>>739251190>>739251190>>739251190>spelunkyShut the fuck up I never got past the jungle in that gameFuck you, fuck Konami and fuck the USA
>>739272604Universal paperclips is one of the best idle games made hands down, look nothing up about it.https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/On a similar note A Dark Room is my second favorite idle games, and alongside candybox sort of birthed the name "incremental game" rather then pure idle.https://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/

>>739273189Fuckin dumbass, it used to get posted unironically back in 2011
>>739285584>REEEEEE STOP RECOMMENDING FREE GAMES YOU LIKE!No.
>>739289680The guy behind these games ported most of them to android so you can play them on your phone as well.
>meteor alert excalationhttps://www.vector.co.jp/soft/win95/game/se267039.html
>battle paintersa bit simplistic but it had a nice art style, haven't checked out their other gameshttp://www.saitogames.com/index.htm
>>739285316by no means complete but doujinstyle.com and https://doujingravity.weebly.com/doujin-games.html have a good amountif you have touhou fangames in mind I believe minerva has them all
>>739291146Thanks for the reply. Touhou fangames are nice but I want to play random crazy shit. I remember a Madoka game where you play as Homura and shoot rockets with buildings having real physics as they collapse or the shitty Fate/Zero musou clone, all of this had soul. I remember the comiket threads would have googledocs of all these games uploaded and I regret not following up on the comikets that came after.Do japs still make doujin fan games or did copyrights get stricter over there? Is it all just DLsite/steam trash?
>>739289764PC Gamer was completely trustworthy until 2011, funnily enough. That was when they gave Dragon Age 2 a stupidly high score.
>>739285584>at least three independent mentions of the game without any of them bothering to Ctrl + FYeah something is up.
>>739292078not sure about the homu game but you play as her in Grief Syndrome I don't know anything about those spreadsheets or more modern fan parodies, my knowledge is like 14 years old
W thread
I've been enjoying Monster Girl Dreams. I've just now made it up the mountain. Dancer girl had me cumming buckets.Overally can't complain since its free and art is bretty gud, but its kind of grindy and sometimes feels very esoteric with triggering scenes, to the point I've said fuck it and used the wiki just to figure it out
Been playing Holocure again since it randomly got popular again. It's fun.
I miss when Free Lunch Design made different games than Icy Tower. Alex 4 was my jam.
I like sonic before and after the sequel
>>739297563what was so bad during the sequel that you didn't like
>>739297962chemical plant zone was too hard
>>739272604I liked cividle because it is more active than typical idle games, since there are resource chains and a lot of the wonders have special rules to manage, like adjacency bonuses. The game is technically free but free players can only access 1 of the premium civs at a time, it changes every week.But maybe that's not as idle as you'd like.
>>739249570Good game I liked the art and puzzles for this game.
if you're a fan of mmbn games try shanghai.exevery high quality for a fangame must recommend
Just in case there's any fighting game enthusiasts herehttps://bvtaisei.itch.io/angels-of-battlehttps://gamejolt.com/games/TheLastGeneration/162958Not a fan of the genre myself so can't say much on the quality, but the second one is a rather amusing looking smash clone that has a huge and rather weird selection of various anime characters, including Lelouch and CC from Code Geass, Lucy from Elfen Lied, Mia from that monstergirl anime and more, some being awkward 3D renders seemingly done just for this game.And speaking of, I remember there being an old fanmade Elfen Lied fighting game that was never translated, but I lost my copy of it with the harddrive, and can't find it now.
>>739297209you will feel better once you get to the temple
>>739254178Little fighter 2? Wasn't that called N The Way of the Ninja
>>739283671>Nitronic RushDistance was such a fucking letdown.
>>739305447that's a pic of N v2.0Yes, that old infographic is fucked up and nobody fixed it over the years.
>>739289979they have ads that you can't pay to get rid of, fuck that guy
>>739283923>eXobloat
SRB2 and BYOC
>>739254178Lol, I made a Let's Play of An Untitled Story back in like 2010. FlaiL was so hard. Swear I played 60% of these.In the same vein, the Jumper games were so good. At least Jumper and Jumper Redux. Didn't much care for 2 or 3.
>>739306457What's your casual-friendly alternative?
