Those who follow the indie scene are probably aware of IGF 2014, where developers across the globe enter their games to be showcased and voted on.

And I'm sure many of you know that GAF is home to a thriving community of passionate and talented developers, who work their asses off to deliver incredible titles for us to experience

So GAF's indie developers, here's the place for you to showcase your IGF entries. Post your games, maybe some info, screenshots, the like. You guys deserve the spotlight.

Sycle and I entered our game Assault Android Cactus, it's quite a traditional style game so I'm not sure how it'll go but you can't win if you don't enter :)

(Let me know if that's too many gifs, they are just way better than images :p)

It's a twin stick shoot em up that combines a lot of traditional twin stick action with bullet hell style enemies & bosses, dynamic shifting levels, and has up to four player co-op with each character using a very unique set of weapons (Again inspired by bullet hell shmups).

Thanks for getting the ball rolling, Paz! And there's no such thing as too many GIFs, especially when they're as awesome as AAC's

I have no idea what's going on here, but I now feel pretty stoked to play this. It looks mental!

Please, i just know a little xna and monogame and already feel it isn't enough, i can clearly be wrong though

We're using Unity with Jscript, if you're confident with XNA you would be fine with Unity, very simple & powerful tool.

Utilities wise we're just using the standard things you would expect - Max/Photoshop, and a few unity plugins with NGUI (Although you might not need that when the new version of Unity is out with better UI tools) a simple audio middleware to help manage our data and the popular steam api plugin.

Actually only Sycle is using Photoshop, I use Gimp to save money :p And I edit our videos in Blender for the same reason haha.

There is no open voting process. Judging began at the beginning of Nov, and a group of judges, specialized in each category, will whittle it down to a smaller (than approx 600) group of nominations which the jury will then use to create the official nominations in each category.

Edit: There is an Audience Award, which FTL won last year and Frozen Synapse the year before that, I think.

Didn't realize that was how it worked. Thanks for the clarification

Some times I feel like those GIF's have generated more interest than any gaming website who covered us :p <3 GAF

Surprised there are no other indies talking about their entry, wonder if it's just the time of day or few entered this year?

Wow I had no idea members of GAF were the devs of AAC. I've been keeping my eye on it. Looks like a lot of fun.

Can't wait to see what some other gaffers are working on too.

Detective Case and Clown Bot in: Murder in the Hotel Lisbon - Site | IGF

A strange murder has occurred in the Hotel Lisbon, a man committed suicide with 14 stabs to the back while at the same time he peacefully drank his coffee. This case with contradictory facts was too complex for Policeman Garcia to solve, so he decided to hire the only detective duo in town capable of solving it: the mythical Detective Case and the unmistakable Clown Bot. Together, they will solve a network of love relations so complex and so intricate, that it would take at least 14 clairvoyants, 5 apocalyptic sect prophets who can predict the end of the world and 3 of those gypsies that can read the palm of your hand just to guess the final outcome.

Added Hotel Lisbon and Kromaia

So far I've played AAC and Kromaia. Guys, Kromaia is struggling for support on Indiegogo. Check it out if you're interested. What I played was fun, frantic, and stylish, and had tons of potential and polish; it was be a shame for it to be so underfunded

Thanks a lot Paz, i just downloaded the latest unity and looks great, much more friendly than VS and the included assets are a nice addition for testing stuff

Is Unity a 3d only engine??? can i work on 2d on it?

I'll be better catching things with a tutorial though, that also seems very dev friendly on unity since the startup screen links you to tutorials and assets, really nice

I'll be cheering for you dude at the IGF (over the internet lol), your game is awesome, i'm really amazed of your work guys

Also the gifs, nice piece of marketing

Yeah, GIFs are the best. I actually enjoy them more than trailers, because they capture the essence of a game in only a few seconds.

Anyway, anyone else?

Not sure if IGF is still going on, but I'm sure there are more than seven submissions from GAFfers

Hope to see what other games have been worked on by GAF

Hey, hey - super late to the party but do have an entry to show.

Our game is Cuphead - Site | IGF

Cuphead-CaptainSilver.gif

Cuphead-TheGreatSlime.gif


Cuphead is a run 'n gun - but instead of individual levels - you play bosses only (influenced by Contra III/HC & Gunstar Heroes). The visuals and audio are heavily inspired by the 1930's cartoon era.
