Indie Gaming This Week: 20 - 26 May 2024

[@_brvnwwrld_]

Crazy that Besiege still gets updates man. This game is nearly a decade old now.

[@ClemmyGames]

Right? Since early access. Made them a boatload of money though so they should be fine

[@Ilia_Salnicov]

0:42 Somehow duck-tective show from Gravity Falls got into our universe.

Rakugaki is how I kind of imagine a third-person 3d Megaman game would be with intricate level design, medium to fast paced combat, and almost bullet hell mechanics.

[@hua..]

so if megaman was literally nothing like megaman

[@KnockKnack]

@@hua.. I apologize for not specifying enough. The elements I've mentioned above were mostly referenced with Megaman X/Zero games in mind. Though I still disagree with your statement as Megaman games are what they are mostly due to the things I've mentioned above. If all those elements were excluded in a Megaman X/Zero game, you get X7.

[@pushkar000]

Isles of Sea and Sky used to be called Akurra. Had a kickstarter back in 2020 or so. I think you had covered it years ago.

[@ClemmyGames]

yep

Mech Engineer - Simulation looks Top 5 Indie Games of the year material imo. Looks amazing!! Great concept to focus on engineering the mechs and the info systems necessary for high performance tactical battle success! Pampas & Selene: The Maze of Demons - Another Top 5 candidate from the dev of none other than Unepic - one of the original great indie games of all time! Wow. Love the 2 characters switch to solve platform problems mechanic with retro graphic art. Local multiplayer - ah this really needs Steam Deck or Switch to expand to the relevant audiences! Ok so onine gameplay too! Even better. Rooftops and Alleys - 3d platformer with parkour looks like a good effort: Needs that physics rag-doll when your character tanks a jump and wipes-out which is all part of the fun... Isles of Sea & Sky - 2d pixel block busting puzzle-solving: Looks like a winner. This kind of puzzle is more satisfying with the block breaking sfx reward even if you get it wrong. Looks like a lot of fun.

[@nicomadox]

Nice aditions to my enless wishlist.

[@ArmourBlanche]

I thought i recognized the voice of that character from zet zillion. It's Foam Gun! Glad it has a link to Wolfstride. That game is seriously overlooked!

[@RoyBrewerGaming]

Paper Trail kind of reminds me of A Fold Apart with its fold mechanic.

[@sooooooooDark]

15:30 catchy melody 🤔

For me the standouts are Rakugaki, Zet Zillions, Duck Detective: The Secret Salami, Galacticare, Paper Trail and Little-Known Galaxy. Though The Court of Wanderers and The Tower on the Borderland, Venture to the Vile and Isles of Sea and Sky seem interesting too. Didn't know Besiege was still in development! Hope it's doing well. Rakugaki just seems like a nice and colorful 3D platformer type of thing, Zet Zillions has my attention for the style and character designs (though i'm not as fond of that main character seemingly being a rather nasty person), Galacticare has a fun concept, Paper Trail just seems incredibly lovely with its art style and cool puzzle idea -- similar thing with Duck Detective, and Little-Known Galaxy just seems chill. Hope these videos will help put attention to them all as well as others. Cookie Cutter from late 2023 is a game that the lead dev still wants to develop further and he regularly shares ideas on his twitter. Loads of creativity and crazy ideas that some may not jive with as much, admittedly.

HOLLY COW! This seem like a week filled with potential hidden gems. Isle of sea and sky, Whitch and Lilies, Pampas & Selene, Hauntii, Starstruck Vagabond, and Harvest Hunt are the ones that caught my attention the most.

[@godril90]

harvest hunt looks sooo interesting. It's like that part of inscryption but the whole game

[@black_stark2]

Wow, what a week! Duck Detective, Zet Zillions and Harvest Hunt I got them wishlisted after the amazing demos from the Steam Next Fest. I wish them the best of luck during release!

[@tomaznascimentomorais2001]

Synergy looks amazing. Never been this interested in a game based on looks alone. I hope the gameplay is just as good.

[@spencechan]

Paula's & Selene looks great. If I had a friend, I'd definitely play it

[@VeeZzz123]

OMG!! I've been waiting for the Witch and Lilies translation for ages. I was losing hope because the devs kept saying they wouldn't translate, but here it is lol Just took them... A long time, but I'll take it

[@ClemmyGames]

great!

[@corbineaualexandre7340]

Good vidéo. The sound is cut at the galacticare segment though.

[@ClemmyGames]

[@Midian974]

Witch and Lilies and Songs Of Conquest (Heroes Of might and Magic-like ^^)

[@vagabundorkchaosmagick-use2898]

Tiny breakers camp looks so good!

[@sladikk]

The sound quality on this video is all over the place

[@ClemmyGames]

Had to mute copyrighted music

[@suspiciouschair4887]

I have been so ready for C.A.R.D.S, then I find out it is a $40 roguelike deckbuilder? Nah, I'm good. I'll just spend that money on Songs of Silence in a few weeks.

[@galvanicmass]

Starstruck vagabond......did i just see zoidberg!!!

[@Arvensa]

The audio for most of the Galacticare segment is broken; cuts to abrupt silence in the middle of a voice acted word Sound returns at the start of the next segment

[@masterofdoom5000]

Devil Blade Reboot is coming from Shigatake, an artist at Vanillaware. I hope it does well so he can continue to make full commercial releases of his older side projects, it's been fun seeing the old shitposting man slowly work on it through his Twitter.

[@ClemmyGames]

ah, thanks for the info

[@boolet80d15]

Quite a few here that catch my eye

[@ClemmyGames]

nice

[@authormichellefranklin]

So many goodies-- I'm so behind!

[@ClemmyGames]

indeed

[@XionSteel]

Love me some first person dungeon crawlers and i apparently already had Witch and lilies wishlisted. I guess i tagged that one when i was browsing on steamdb to see if i can prod for anything, looks interesting if nothing else and wouldn'd be the first time i played something yuri based.

[@raniel0511]

7:52 I was looking elsewhere and thought I had left a Mr Sujano video opened on the background lol.

[@ClemmyGames]

huh

[@Grrreeeeeeew]

Lugia. Lugia's a good pokemon card.

[@forestpark73]

Good to see some games coming to consoles!

[@ClemmyGames]

Yeah

[@meugameb7567]

Witch and Lilies me lembra Etrian Odyssey da Atlus. Muitos jogos legais nessa lista!❤

[@ClemmyGames]

exactly!

[@abetterjulie]

so many good games in this one, thank you!

[@Agus-fw7dl]

Duck detective? Ducktective

[@Blizniak666]

Looks like audio breaks at 7:35 for the rest of that game's segment, comes back with the next game. Your voice gets weird at 10:43 up until 11:16

[@l0rdfr3nchy7]

Interesting stuff, Songs of Conquest is great!

[@ClemmyGames]

It really is!

[@nabilmasud4086]

Same music from of blades and tails being used by tiny breakers? It's literally the exact same music from the overworld battles. Open license free music or something?

[@Ideeem]

Wow, packed:)

[@ClemmyGames]

[@Mineral4r7s]

LLM generated images in Esports Godfather makes it pretty clear thats its going to be a shit game

[@ClemmyGames]

Oh? Thanks for pointing that out

[@VeeZzz123]

They are indie, some save up whenever they can, and AI art is a new option for that.
