House of the Dying Sun was confirmed for June 7th

And Ghost, the sci-fi successor to Unepic, is also coming out on the 7th

Since i only play on PS4 (my laptop is getting quite old), the summer selection is somewhat limited. The game i'm looking forward the most is Headlander at this point. I hope it's coming soon'ish. Rise & Shine is still looking fantastic aswell so i'm hoping my laptop will be able to handle that game. I just discovered Pan Pan (published by Might&Delight) and thought it looked interesting.

Also, thanks for doing these threads. Most of my playtime goes to smaller scale (indie) games these days (currently playing Oxenfree, Kick & Fennick and Art of Balance) so it's nice to see them listed in one thread.

 

[Shiny Braixen]

Man thank you for the thread! I had no idea such pretty games were coming out this summer.

Necropolis has definitely got my eye; the style is just fabulous!

 

[More_Badass]

Dat zombie night terror.

And cosmic star...and ghost song where are you!?

Ghost Song is coming along nicely. Some 1080p screenshots from over in the GAF dev thread

Good lord, that's a gorgeous looking game.

Videoball
Minimalist 2D sports game whose spartan design belies a surprising amount of subtlety and depth.
PS4 PC XB1


Videoball is gonna be something special ( if it ever comes out ). It's currently slated for June.

7/12 release date announced today

 

[exmachina64]

The Solus Project was released today, any impressions?

 

[bede-x]

Anyone tried Ghost 1.0? I'm looking to get one more game this month and it's between Ghost 1.0 and Steamworld Heist. I would prefer a platformer/Metroidvania, assuming it's of sufficient quality, but am unsure if Ghost 1.0 fits the bill.

Ghost 1.0 is a great metroidvania, full of humor, hard challenges, and plenty of upgrades and stuff.

SteamWorld Heist is a great port. I was expecting a game like Angry Birds and Peggle, but it turns out to be more RPG and tactical fights. I mean, the skill shots are not so relevant so far.

I have some trouble with the camera movements in SWH which are very fast when switching between characters, or ending a turn. I am more on the Ghost bandwagon because of this. Otherwise, quality-wise, very impressive HD graphics.

Yes, I'm playing and enjoying it quite a bit right now. It's really good from what I've seen so far, but beware that it starts out very harsh and frustrating and you may flip your desk a few times before you get some upgrades going and the game eases up. Good controls (with 360 pad), fun upgrade selection from what I've seen so far, good secrets and I like the bodysnatching mechanic even if it isn't exactly a new idea.

Also beware of crappy internet humor. Memes and references ahoy!

Sounds like Ghost 1.0 is what I'm looking for. To the wishlist with Steamworld.

Thanks

 

[Permanently A]

Playing Steamworld Heist on PC right now and its a blast. Very fun gameplay and customization, with crisp visuals and catchy tunes.

Looking forwards to Furi and Katana Zer0

 

[Hobbun]

Lost Sea by Eastasiasoft will be available July 4th, physical copies through Limited Run Games.

I am guessing digital will be available same day.

 

[More_Badass]

Necropolis got a date of July 12th

And at long last, Playdead's Inside is coming this summer! June 28th for Xbox, July 7th for PC

As is Abzu, no date yet

 

[Dan]

Abzu is dated for August 2nd now. Headlander has been given a window of late July.

Also just want to say that SteamWorld Heist is brilliant. Played through that over the last week. Looking forward to more DLC for it, and whatever Image & Form has coming next.

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

Our preorder page on Humble Store for Cosmic Star Heroine went up.

Note, the Dec 31 date on the page is just a placeholder - it'll go up the same time as the PSN version (which should be this summer).

 

[Moobabe]

Too. Many. Games.

 

[Celine]

Great thread. Subscribed!

I know that Severed was released a couple of months ago.
But I think it's notable that's coming out for 3DS and WiiU this summer.
Game deserves more recognition.

Doesn't leave a good first impression, especially in the living room. Game can't be launched with a controller the first time and the controller support itself seems like it's made by someone not used to using a joypad (default jump is on the left bumper ), but can be changed. The text is tiny and though I'm using controller the inventory screen is still telling me "left mouse button to shoot". Hope the actual game is better than those first impressions.

 

[lucebuce12]

Posted it in that other Furi thread but why not post it here too.

Bumping this thread cause I don't really think it deserves a new thread but still.

According to this interview, the game is coming out in Early July for PS4 and PC.

Really excited for this game.

 

[OniBarubary]

And Ghost, the sci-fi successor to Unepic, is also coming out on the 7th

Holy poop, how did I miss this?!?!

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

The dev of Ghost Song is on GAF and has said something about news in Sept.

Trust me, the dude understands what the people need.

Gonna be super dope imo when it drops.

 

[itchyass86]

Abzu is lookin great. Definitely reminds me of Journey and a game on PS1 called Treasures of the Deep, although Abzu looks way more dense in wildlife.

 

[CecilRousso]

If it's not been posted before in this thread, here's the first 30 minutes of Headlander, from E3.

[Grim Patron]

is kentucky route zero act 4 this summer?

 

[Modsushi]

Asemblance looks promising. Comes out this Tuesday on PS4 and Steam. The developers reference The Twilight Zone and The X-Files as creative inspiration. May just pay full price for this one.

 

[More_Badass]

Rimworld got an Early Access release date of July 15th

[Speevy]

You have Inside twice.

 

[More_Badass]

You have Inside twice.

Xbox in June, PC in July

 

[Speevy]

Xbox in June, PC in July

Oh, my bad.

I wish it was out on PC already.

 

[RiggyRob]

Quick question - how on earth do you keep track of everything coming out?

Pretty easily, actually. Someone will mention something in the Indie Games thread or Steam thread, or I'll see a new thread on the Gaming Side, or come across some news while browsing Rock Paper Shotgun, or take a few minutes to see what's upcoming on Steam

And then I just update here when I get some time

Then again, I write about indie games on four different websites, so it's kind of like my job/hobby/passion to know

 

[Humdinger]

Thank you for the effort put into this thread. I love indies, but they're hard to stay on top of. Threads like this help a lot.

Ah right, so you're curating the list almost - I was curious because I can't imagine you trawling through the likes of itch.io and wading through the crap to find the gems, but then this thread seems to mention games that don't show up in Google searches, Reddit wikis, blog posts etc. until almost the day of the game's release.
