7.1 Upcoming Indies to look forward to! Part Deux
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| 3. Introductory Blurb |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
February was the month of small, yet polished experiences! Plenty of smaller games that surprised us more than we thought possible, which is also reflected in the voting. March looks a bit meatier and hopefully we see more impressions to have some more people participating in the vote than last month.
Additionally, minichange in the title formatting to make a distinction to last years threads.
Other than that, the current month has 51 games in the released section and 86 in the future section, so have fun guys with another month of Indies!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| 3.5 Quick Note about Formatting |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want to suggest a game that has recently released or that looks interesting, but hasnt released yet, please follow the following formatting structure:
Released games:
Not yet released games:
If the game is free, then put "Free" as the price, otherwise please use $ or € for the price. You can also include more than one game per post (like the Screenshot saturday posts), but please stick to the above format for every entry.
If someone posts a non-proper formatted post, I'd appreciate if you could repost the game with the same info in the proper format.

Hey! I assume you are new in this thread series and want to see what we were up to? Or you didnt have enough time to play through all of the games from the last month but still want to catch up with the best ones? Then this list is for YOU! These were the games we enjoyed the most in the previous thread, voted on by the community (More thorough descriptions and impressions in the previous thread, especially the last few pages with the voting):

I noticed there are a few noteworthy, and relatively unknown, projects that deserve a shoutout here because I feel that they share a common interest with the people in this thread. I talked to the guy from Pixabyte and MetaVendetta and both are very enthusiastic about the things they love and figured you might appreciate the shoutout as well. If you enjoy anything here or want to give feedback, let these guys know via their websites or also here in this thread. If you appreciate something, let people know. A heads up can sometimes very valuable.
This is a monthly podcast series that presents notable Indie Game soundtracks. A likeable host and guests, a fantastic track selection, interesting discussions and a focus for Indies will make this one a mainstay in my monthly threads.
My very own, highly amateur game impressions YT channel. Its a bit of self-pimping, but since I only make videos for games of this thread, I think it might as well be included here.

If you want to suggest a game that has recently released or that looks interesting, but hasnt released yet, please follow the following formatting structure:
Released games:
Not yet released games:
Copy the appropriate content and add the proper information for the black writing. Please only include 1 link and 1 image. I tried making it a bit failsafe, so it should be able to deal with 2 links or images as well, but 1 is safer.
If the game is free, then put "Free" as the price, otherwise please use $ or € for the price. You can also include more than one game per post (like the Screenshot saturday posts), but please stick to the above format for every entry.

Or you didnt have enough time to play through all of the games from the last month but still want to catch up with the best ones? Then this list is for YOU! These were the games we enjoyed the most in the previous thread, voted on by the community (More thorough descriptions and impressions in the previous thread, especially the last few pages with the voting):
1. Cosmochoria - Free browser demo, late 2014 (PC, Mac, Linux)
http://www.cosmochoria.com
Cosmochoria is a love letter to old-school action / arcade games like Asteroids, Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong. Cosmochoria is a mesmerizing way to kill hours: hopping between planets, unravelling forgotten mysteries, killing aliens and planting seeds to sprout new life across a long-barren galaxy. Its also currently on Kickstarter, more information over here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=792398
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Nothing to Hide - Free Alpha Demo (PC, Browser)
http://nothing-to-hide-demo.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html
Calling itself an "anti-stealth game", Nothing To Hide is both a biting satire on the lives we are seemingly forced to lead in a post-private world, and an innovative, subversive stealth experience at that. The goal is to remain visible at all times - a frightening proposition, but one that is all to real.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. Black Ice - Free (PC, Mac, Linux, Browser)
http://superdupergc.com/
Black Ice is a Hack and Shoot – a Cyberpunk First-Person Shooter / Hack & Slash RPG about hacking. Think Borderlands meets Tron. The cyber-world is procedurally generated, the colors are neon, the loot is randomized, and the lasers are loud. Black Ice is currently in Open Alpha, with updates every Friday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. Card City Nights - $3,99 (PC)
http://store.steampowered.com/app/271820/?cc=us
Its not the most complex of card games but it is nice and snappy to play and the overall package is full of lovely art in both the cards and the surrounding scenes as you wander across this nighttime island city, which basically seems like a halfbreed of that game on FF8 and a match 3 puzzler At less then £2, the entire game is pretty nuts with the sheer variety of different scenes and characters you come across. It feels like a product that costs 4x to 5x it's value at least.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. Glitchspace - $5.99 (PC, Mac, Linux)
http://spacebudgie.com/games/glitchspace
Glitchspace is a first person programming game that's centred around a visual programming mechanic. Set in a cyberspace world, you are trying to find a place known as Glitchspace - a by-product of cyberspace and its various glitches. A world that would allow for infinite possibilities, and access across all systems in cyberspace through exploitation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. Lenna's Inception - Free alpha (PC, Mac, Linux)
http://bytten.net/devlog/lennas-inception/
Lenna’s Inception is an action-adventure game with procedurally generated locations. It has a Gameboy-like aesthetic and a top-down view. The gameplay consists of action-driven combat segments, seeking out new items and upgrades, and solving simple puzzles, which has been compared to the gameplay of The Legend of Zelda and The Binding of Isaac.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. Xaxi - Free (PC, Mac)
http://www.noctuelles.net/Xaxi
A virtual memory palace of sorts, designed to teach Aliceffekt's Conlang Traumae, and examine the possibilities of learning and memory in interactive virtual environments.
