A very cool video for indie lovers:

Just in case you guys haven't seen this little sizzle reel.

Day of the Devs 2016 Featured Games


A lot of great looking games there.
Including some games I've been looking forward to for a long time that I thought maybe I would need to wait 10 years or something. Like say Spy Party, Twelve Minutes, Gorogoa and Secret Legend all look to be fairly far long, so maybe not 10 years after all.

Has anyone heard from that Radio the Universe dev lately??

There was an update two weeks ago:

i've been creating sub-bosses to insert at various points to break up the flow of the game. still bringing the existing areas up to design standard and getting through stacks of miscellaneous polishing/tuning-up. you may notice an increase in visual detail

in the process of wrapping some up parts of the game but others remain more unwrapped than i'd like. it's coming together but i may need some time. my estimates have been bad, so i'm sorry. especially to backers

the current (final) version of the interface which includes the upgrade grid and other ability-related menus is the fourth version. it has been around for a while--every UI iteration over rtu's dev have been re-writes to accommodate changes to the aesthetic or to the char progression mechanic. regarding the hp/ep display specifically: i may include an option to switch to/from the bar-style hud, since some prefer it and it conveys the same information

672 games at IGF 2017.

http://www.igf.com/entries/2017

I have skimmed through the list. There is a ton of amazing indie games, about which we already know about thanks to these threads and you people.

Among games that I have just learnt about, there is A Normal Lost Phone, which is playable.

A Normal Lost Phone - Free Prototype (PC browser)

https://accidentalqueens.com/ANLP/#EN

A Normal Lost Phone is a game about exploring the intimacy of an unknown person whose phone was found by the player. The game takes the shape of a narrative investigation: you have to search the phone's text messages, pictures and applications, in order to learn about its former owner. Through this phone, you uncover Sam's life, friends, family and relationships, until the evening when they turn 18 and mysteriously disappear.

There is also a screenshot of The Sexy Brutale.

 
Man I really wanna pick up Owlboy - but BF1 and TF2 have taken my gaming money for the next 2 months :(
TF2 was my surprise out of the blue purchase last month. The single player is so good, and the multiplayer is pretty fun as well even though I suck at it

Liked the first a bunch but this wasn't really on my radar - but seeing the stellar reviews and the less than stellar sales made me put my money where my mouth is!
