Amazing games especially Stealer, but unfortunatelly looks like the dev gave up developing the game.
Platformer, with focusing on atmosphere and exploration. We want to make something cinematic and very detailed to describe world of robots completely.
DwarfCorp is a real time procedurally generated strategy game heavily inspired by dwarf fortress, dungeon keeper, and minecraft.
In DwarfCorp you manage a group of dwarf employees sent by Greybeard and Sons LLC to explore and exploit unknown regions, and send back your collections to corporate HQ via air balloons. The world will be trying to stop you, though, as it will be infested with all kinds of horrible creatures and inhospitable climates!
I'm working on a simple scripting language that combines concepts from turtle grahpics and L-System. The idea is that by writing a script you control the generation of a line-based drawing. Changes you make to the script take effect immediately upon saving.
The game's focus is on environmental puzzle solving, atmosphere, and exploration. The goal is to make the game's world interesting enough to entice players to want to explore, so we plan on having quite a few paths, secret areas and unlockable abilities. It will play similar to a 2d metroidvania game.
This is my first game attempt so have been trying to keep it simple (although that's proved false in many instances). The game I've been working on is a Canabalt type running game (Not very original I know but really just been for me to learn how to make a game and the process involved).
The game consists of working in your office, falling asleep, exploring the dream world and interacting with its inhabitants (meaning dialogue trees galore), getting killed by something and waking up, and then falling asleep again. The primary focus of the game is on its story and character interaction, with a sprinkling of exploration and puzzle solving.
Century is a tale of sleeping machines. It takes place in an ancient tangled city of constructed organics.
The premise for my first mechanics prototype was simulating energy and how it flows between the machines. I want to create systems of machines that are fun and interesting to manipulate. Interaction will be very simple, just clicking on parts of a machine to turn it on and off and understanding how the different parts function together will be the key to solving the puzzles.
The game will have an exploration component. The game is separated into levels and each level will have at least one director machine which exits the level and leads to another. Many levels will have multiple exits, hidden exits etc. which will lead to branching paths.
Thanks
It's easy to sell you a game, you just have to mention Dwarf Fortress
So one more, this time combined with the game from the top of this page:

Who better than you to post some links, screenshots and impressions then
Following Toma's advice I'll leave that here
We really should post every Indie game thread in here as well.
After I finished the first act of Kentucky Route Zero my expectations were skyrocketing, that's why I was slightly worried, that the next part might not hold up to this hype. Hopefully those doubts can now be long forgotten - Act 2 alone is worth the price paid for the whole season. The price shouldn't actually even be mentioned, when it comes to such a brilliant work. I played a lot of videogames, from big budget productions to alternative independent titles, but I've never experienced anything so remarkable, haunting and multilayered, so conscious of the possibilities that this medium - still in most cases rooted in the past - has to offer. I won't write about those countless magical moments that this game consists of, because I don't want to take away the joy from those who haven't played it yet. Let me just say that those pieces indiviually, even without the whole context that has been slowly unveiled in front of our eyes, could be easily compared to the most significant examples of artistic workmanship among other more mature forms of expression. It's clearly a work of passion, love and craft, uncompromised as far as current technology allows it to be, that everyone should play. Still need to digest everything, but I can already imagine how painful the waiting for the next three months will be.
Even this single shot randomly found on the Internet is amazing.

Why? What would gameplay and challenge add to it? And who cares if it's terrible at being a game?
