iddy1994 Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 What is your opinion on people playing indie titles? is there any point? Does it bring a fresh new thing to the plate from the market of main stream games?
DylanC Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 I love indie games. They’re the best for coming up with new, innovative gameplay ideas that are too risky in the AAA space. Sure, some are rubbish, but there are a lot of hidden gems to be found in the indie ecosystem. From Undertale, to FTL, to Hotline Miami, to Rogue Legacy, to Inside and Limbo, there’s a ton of great indie games out there to experience.
kingpotato Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Its been a good couple of years for indie games, they have a better chance to shine compared to the old days. The best indie game for me is Alien Homid I had it on my GBA.
skyfire Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 I am supportive towards the indie titles. I like supporting the game developers. And I often review some of the indie titles that I find on the humble bundle. It can be pretty interesting to support them and learn from their new designs and the gaming releases. Android is pretty much loaded with the games from the indie developers.
Bravosi Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 I didn't really play many Indie titles, I usually watch others do it. The only indie title I played is the old slenderman.

Some of the titles I've seen have been so weird but so fun DylanC 1

SpaceExplorer Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 I love indie games. They can be really good, almost AAA quality good! DylanC 1
Shine_Spirit Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Well... I have to say that I'm not very familiar with indie games. I know how good they can be because some of my friends, but... I still didn't give a chance for them. Maybe, in a near future because I like to try new games.
kingpotato Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 Has anyone played any of the recent popular indie games like Shovel night, Hollow knight or Celeste ?
skyfire Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 I get to play most of the free indie titles through steam. And I also make sure to check out the humble indie bundle. So it can be fun playing some of those games. Also android too has some really good titles out there.

I picked up Shovel Knight recently, but haven't actually gotten around to playing it. But it looks like a lot of fun. kingpotato 1
Alyxx Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 I feel the indie market is huge at the moment. I mean, it's always been there but lately it's been where you would find some of the most inventive and emotional gaming experiences. And a lot of games for people who want a nostalgia kick too. Being an indie game dev myself, I am really happy that it's easier than ever to publish indie games. But that of course makes it even more important to stand out and make something memorable or niche.

I can across a game called Outward and from the bits I've seen so far about it, It's a really innovative MMORPG. Now, I'll just say that the combat in-game isn't the greatest - it's a pass but nothing spectacular but other features such as unleveled enemies and armors and weapons not being restricted by levels makes it a very interesting experience.

skyfire Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Most of the indie games designed with the open source engines can be fun too. I have seen some of such games made with godot interesting. Though only thing they lack is the company level graphics and the 3D graphics and features which is definitely missing.
