I'm doing it. Might take me a while. 1. Perfect Tides Meredith Gran's (Octopus Pie) adventure game about the ennui of an online present teenage girl in the Y2K era. Captures the animalistic nature of young adulthood, the intersection of adult expectations with the naivete of being a child.

New rule this year: If you post "Play more indie games" during the game awards, you are required to make a thread recommending 50 of them.

"How would an alien say 'write down?'" "He wouldn't say write, he'd say 'scribe' or something." "SCRIB DOON!!" George "Darth Icky" Lucas should be proud.

A Mind Forever Voyaging, developed in response to Reagan's re-election, where an AI simulates the effects of neoliberalism over 50 years on a small midwest town. After predicting environmental decay, arbitrary police raids, and televised executions its political masters try to silence the program.

the weird perspective makes it look like Barry is holding a gun to a child. How did they forget his beard?! Leon needs some chapstick.

This game is torture. Great job.

FF7 scenarios with pre-rendered backgrounds were always a mystery to me during childhood; but even to this day it's still something that amazes me. Now you can inspect every single Final Fantasy VII stage, including the 3D path + variations. #FF7 #FinalFantasy #FFVII #PS1 #PSX #RetroGame

Pet project: 1) Advanced PS1/N64 game extraction (+all animations). 2) Website where you can browse and compare models, textures, animations, FMVs, for preservation. Already have FF7, Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 and MediEvil fully ripped. #FF7 #FinalFantasy #FFVII #PS1 #PSX #RetroGame #N64

The Tower of Zeldaga is a mashup of the Legend of Zelda and Tower of Druaga. Every room has a secret puzzle and the puzzles get more obtuse as you go on. It's free, runs in your browser (incl mobile), supports controllers, and I'd really love for you to try it out! legitimatebusiness.biz/tower/

If the Backrooms was real and any government was aware it’d be “free housing” for undesirables, outcasts, refugees, unhoused, political prisoners - fiercely guarded to ensure no one escapes. There’s so much social commentary baked into endless office space beyond BOO SPOOKY MONSTER.

REAL WEB LEGENDS: Carter's Quest Act 2 is NOW AVAILABLE!! My solo action-adventure game inspired by Zelda, DMC, and Bayonetta just got bigger. A FREE update to Carter's Quest, adding a whole new chapter to the story, massive graphical updates, and more. Available on Steam now!

Recently discovered The Train, a game where you're French resistance delivering Nazi-stolen art to the allies. It's a "plate spinning" simulator with multi-step input, playable in about 20 minutes. It feels like the progenitor to a modern indie game: Iron Lung 30 years before Iron Lung.

The "mini-game collection" of 80s PC games are kind of dismissed by contemporary retro gamers but their tight scope and economic focus makes them very appealing to small scale development and they were often programed by a literal teenager in their attic.

Games never should've advanced beyond the "sixth generation" because Raven Software perfected X-Men 20 years ago.

Perfect couple of posts summarising the Wolverine / AAA space.

I’m sorry, but you’re just not gonna ever see me care about a new Kojima game going over budget when Sony has wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on live service flops and closed half a dozen studios this generation

Eliminate tier lists Demand equal equity from your representatives Donate your unused stuff Reevaluate the transactional mindset

Imagine Aseprite or another #pixelart program inside Blender? Pixel Perfect Pixel Art drawing and texture painting on top of the model in the 3D viewport and in 2D. Drawing, painting, selection tools, layers, texel density (pixel size) setup and density zones (multiple pixel sizes). #blender3d

What if a modern adaption of DOS era detective games that starred you, the player, but things get increasingly personal as the game continues? Like those Doritos Flash games where you could opt into receiving emails.

I feel like the real reason is that every Western studio has been thouroughly dismantled by aggressive capital.

Felipe Pepe@felipepepe.bsky.social

I feel the reason why so many Chinese studios were at Geoff Keighley's presentation is not just that it worked for Wukong... it's that games that didn't do this got ignored by the West. Like, Scroll of Taiwu sold over 3 million! Very unique and influential, an indie mega-hit! Zero media presence.

Speaking of games with a high obituary, fight against Tim Curry with the help of Lemmy Kilmister and Ozzie. Play the Stage Battles like a MOBA, you literally melt faces and drop burning zeppelins on the battlefield.

Double Fine@doublefine.com

To honor Tim Curry's memory, we are making Brütal Legend FREE on Itch.io, for 666 minutes: itch.io/s/199277/the...

Mockup of a Story of Seasons style game where you maintain a co-op rooftop garden while organization with your neighbors to buy the deed to the building. As a suburban boy I dream of living in a clean self-sustainable urban environment. #lowpoly #pixelart

Please not a return of the "games influenced by games" discourse which is a gross oversimplification. My GOTY 2025 was about managing an eating disorder which was equal parts fun and horrifyingly existential. There is an indie game for every niche, fetish, and esoteric interest.

This game was originally released in Scandinavian countries in Danish. A full English version was produced but never released. Until now this was considered lost media. If you're a sicko who loves The Dark Eye, Cosmology of Kyoto, and Gadget this is a game you can really sink your teeth into.

Happy #screenshotsaturday, y'all. Everyone tells new devs to start learning by cloning games like Pong. My advice: don't stop at Pong. However long you've been at it, recreating games or mechanics you like (or don't like) helps you understand the hows and whys better than just playing.

Underrepresented genres I want to see revitalized real time strategy space shooter (why does Star Fox 2 get snubbed?) sad boy friendship sim (new chibi robo let's gooooo) city block adventure game (don't let it die with shenmue 3 cmon)
