Awesome thread Toma! Thanks for your approval to post this.
I just wanted to direct people's attention to keep an eye on GAF's very own Indie Dev thread. Quite a few indie games get announced there now and the small teams would love it if their game announcements ended up in this thread somehow. Most just want more feedback on their efforts
My bro and fellow gaffer Paz just announced his in-development solo/local co-op arena shooter: Assault Android Cactus
It's coming for PC/Mac/Linux

I also really like the recently released Chopper Mike. It's a deceptively simple looking, level based navigation puzzle game. I bought it on iOS but it's out on basically every platform. Here is Razu's iOS/Android announcement post.
Another reason to invite Indie Dev GAF over is the occasional freebies they give out, like Razu did for Chopper Mike recently.
There is so much variety, please take the time to look it over and invite the devs in. It's all a little intimidating but they're just people making cool stuff on their own time and would love to be made welcome here

3-5, actually.
Go get it here, the creator of this game just released a demo version that lasts about 2 hours.

I don't know why I've been avoiding this thread until now, it's great.
The Dev of Memory of a Broken Dimension has released a demo build he constructed last November.
Windows version
Mac version
He warns its not very representative of how the game is now, but I can't wait to get a look at how it's progressed. Downloading now.
Because it was created by that dumbass poster. I can totally understand that. I didnt want to get in here either as well.
Future indie games I'm super stoked for:

Daily VESPER.5 reminder. If this is my task for this thread, well then so be it.
Also, you should all snag a free copy of Ishi if you can, I got it for my iPod a while back and it is very addictive.

Toma needs a new title.. friend of indie or something
I really like the concept and genre blending here (Arena Shooter, RTS, Tower Defense, Sim). You basically steer your ship around a level in which you need to take care of the enemies appearing with your board cannons. And while you do that, you put down buildings and try to achieve certain goals. The game has an overworld map which consists of several "levels" that each contain islands, and you need to build strong enough defenses on these islands to withstand constant enemy onslaughts, even when you are not in that level yourself. To achieve that you need to build up an economy which pays for all the ship upgrades and buildings you need to buy. The game isnt actually terribly complicated, but lets just say that its a bit tricky to get into it if you dont even understand how you need to approach the game. If the game looks interesting to you, I recommend checking out these youtube videos below:
Hey Toma, I think the OP should really add in some prominent or interesting Indie kickstarter/indiegogo campaigns as well. I know it's a bit of a list to compile, but some of these games do needs a bit more exposure. Planet Explorers kickstarter for one. They even mentioned needing some more exposure on NeoGAF in their latest kickstarter update.
Pfft Toma, rather do a sensible thread like the one I suggested

I did that for the march thread, but got the impression people didnt care much, especially since the thread is long as hell anyway. If I compile something for the OP and it takes me quite a bit of time to do, but then nobody looks at it... I dont really see the merit. Besides, wasnt there a thread for gaming Kickstarters? Not trying to dismiss your idea or anything, just talking about the feasability and usefulness. Another idea would be a thread dedicated to that Kickstarter. Take the basic information from the march thread and add a few more links for the gameplay/screenshots.
Thread won't be complete until Toma catalogues every game ever made and every game in development.
Yeah, creating a thread would probably be a good idea, I shall look into that. The gaming kickstarts thread can be very in-active. Maybe the kickstarters would be better left as small announcements or plugs in this thread, instead of in the OP. Exposure during the course of the thread is probably better for a lot of the games anyway, and might be easier for people to catch.
I gotta say I didn't really think about the list not being noticed in the OP as I read through it myself last thread, and the small updates section lead me to take a look at StarSector.
Feel free to be vocal about the game/Kickstarter in this thread once in a while. Make sure to add a picture to the posts, its more eye-catching.
I am glad that someone looked at it, but yeah I am just going by feedback I got during the thread. If NO one ever mentions something I am writing up then yeah, I kinda get the impression no one is looking at it. If the thread had the same views in march, but no one posted in it, I probably wouldnt have created the april one either. I dont want this whole thread series to turn into one-way traffic.
That's quite fair, wouldn't want you to go to all the trouble for no-one to discuss things. I for one am quite glad for the thread, I've discovered quite a large number of games to play through here.
Well I'll just do a quick plug for it anyway, because I would like to see the game come to full fruition. It has some interesting concepts and a fair amount of them are already implemented.
Planet Explorers - Currently Free Alpha (PC)
Kickstarter - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1757963851/planet-explorers
Voxel-based sandbox survival game, in a sci-fi setting, with giants shooting lasers? What more could you want. Build a base, build vehicles, and weapons, and design them yourselves in the creation toolbox.
Seriously, check out some of the user-generated content that the devs are showcasing in the kickstarter. If this could get a decent following, it would make for a very interesting experience with modding and user-created vehicles and weapons.
You should probably out the dl link for the alpha directly in the post. Makes it easier for people to just "click" and dl. Put it at the end with some bolded words before it.
Oh yeah, sorry. Forgot to reply to you. I think that would make for a good thread as well,but I think we know most of the heavy hitters from that genre already. I wont stop anyone making such a thread, but I'll focus on the Indie threads in 2013, and if no one else did these kind of threads, maybe put out a thread like the one you mentioned with some more obscure titles from these threads after 2013.
Or you could look through the Indie thread and become a part of the community looking for those types of games Also, if you're looking for survival/sandbox games, take a look at Planet Explorers! Sandbox/survival with player-generated content like vehicles and weapons.
Am I doing this right, guys? ... guys?
Still not doing it right.
The torrent of the latest build works fine, about to jump in.
Well, Dark Schala got a tag for writing walls of text a lot about RPGs, so there's that, I guess? Keep writing walls of text about indies, I'm sure you too can be an Eloquent Princess. We'll even hire a surgeon for the sex change operation"Indie Connoisseur" please ;p I dont think the mods will go out of their way tagging people like that, though. Cant remember anyone recently getting tags like these. The last one I do remember was someone who made a thread for adventure games or something? But whatever.

See, video games are highly educational. Cart life just taught me that I’m not qualified enough to have children yet. I literally need to get my facts straight for the sake of future generations. Why can’t life have multiple choice answers? Why does it have to be “explain in your own words”?
And the worst part is I’m “black” so… yeah. WAY TO MAKE ME FEEL STUPID AND A DISGRACE TO MY ETHNIC ORIGINS, CART LIFE. WAY TO GO.
