Indie Games 2015 [July] Now Voting - Post 280!

Wow SuperHOT has really come a ways, loving the
weapon grab midair, dat baseball bat leg shatter too o_o

Seems like a perfect shooter for VR what with the incremental movement, thus cutting down on motion sickness. I know Oculus was demoing an earlier build of it a ways back at a trade show. Looking forward to it.
Reminds of the move in Uncharted when Drake punches a guy and grabs the gun mid-air, except not scripted and 100% gameplay

I usually don't - ive only ever posted stuff i am interested even then i dont post everything or think its worth a mention ie its really highly rated and hasnt been mentioned already or others have talked about it and not put in a structure post.

More to do with the fact i didnt have any time or wont have any till tomorrow as i have a busy weekend and there was a lot i wanted to go through to see if i felt they are worth putting up.

If i have been putting too many up though let me know and i will happily cut back.

A simple, accessible-yet-difficult, fwooshy, "feel good" arcade flight simulator. Blow things up over land, sea, and air, on an infinite number of procedurally-generated islands. Choose one of a diverse set of aeros and kit it out with a dizzying array of weaponry. Go toe-to-toe with enemy aces or assault giant flying aircraft carriers and battleships, but watch out for volleys of missiles; when you die, you're dead.

Also managed to give incandescent a go

It's a pretty bland twin stick shooter not really recommended - its not bad but just has nothing that sets it above any of the other Geometry Wars clones

Started a thread for it

If you wanted to share some impressions

I'll add some when I put a bit more time into it. Subscribed.

I did get a chance to play a bit of Rising Thunder today and I'm loving it. I think it's going to be a great way to get people started with fighting games. It has combos, but they're much easier to pull off thanks to how simple it is to input special moves. It's also got the best netcode possible for fighting games, so your combos won't be ruined by poor connections. It's still an alpha, so the game has a long way to go before it's ready for prime time. I'm really excited to see how this grows over time.

I watched Spooky stream on Friday and the game is already looking solid, I hope it can form a good community because I could love to watch it on a tourney.
 
Trying to remember the name of a game. It's a third person sci-fi open world game, where you can shoot aliens and your character wears a cowboy hat. Been a development for a while. The screenshots had a desert-like environment

Like it's predecessor, Ninjahtic, levels have an open-ended nature and are presented in a linear fashion. Though, several features have been added to the predecessor's formula to create a more varied experience
 
SuperHOT is looking super hot in the graphics department. I was having a think earlier that I hope they let you downscale it well so I can run it effectively, but honestly I could probably end up playing that game at 20-25 fps and never realize it.
 
Graphically it has so much more polish now!!!
I love how it looks so much more polished, but also still remains true to the abstract style of the original. The shattering crystalline look is gorgeous.

Now I regret not pledging more, really want to check out that beta

Man I played about an hour of Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! yesterday and it's just so repetitive and extremely unchallenging. Maybe I just need to get deeper in but at this point in the game it's incredibly boring. Anyone else played it yet?

Ugh, I thought I was relatively over AAA games, and yet I preordered Hitman and MGSV

I cannot wait for MGSV, every single video gets my hype level to jump through the roof. Followed right by No Mans Sky and Fallout 4.

But to be fair, even though MGSV might be among the most expensive games ever, it also seems to be among the games that are less hampered by AAA game design. Sure there are micro transactions, but also a ton of actual new and expansive feature sets without skimping on the scope of the game.
