New and Upcoming Indie Game Releases
-
Fantastic news everybody, the developers of the great "Hyper Light Drifter" have announced their next game!
I can't wait to see more.
-
I don't know how strict we may want to be with definitions of what is an indie game, but I think A Plague Tale fits the bill and I'm very interested in seeing how it turns out.
-
Path of Exile, a free2play Diablo-like, is finally releasing on PS4 tomorrow. Not exactly new, but new to dat PEE ESS QUADRUPLE.
-
@el-shmiablo Didn't realize that was free to play, looks like I'm gonna give it a shot then!

@sabotagethetruth It is actually fantastic for a free game. Only things that cost money are cosmetics and stash tabs, and if you want to get into the meta you kinda NEED to buy a few stash tabs (currency and maps in particular) but that's only a few bucks. Everything else is FREEEEEEEEEE.

@holographics Actually, Yacht Club is only publishing Cyber Shadow. It is being developed by Mechanical Head Studios.

@mbun Woops, sorry about that. Fixed.

Just an update on Slay the Spire - it will be getting a PS4 release on May 21st, with a Switch version to come at a later date. It is still the second highest reviewed game of the year - although with more reviews, it does stand the possibility of sliding down a bit.

@sabotagethetruth Very nice!
Talking about console ports, "Darkwood" is also getting a PS4 release, coming out May 14th.
Also coming out for Xbox One on May 17th and Nintendo Switch sometime in May (Wiki says May 16th but I haven't found an official release date video)

This may not be the most appopriate as it is not a single game, but I enjoyed the video a lot, I think it does a great job of showing some games I would like to play if I weren't so scared, and it seems like something that will be done more on the channel in the future.
The content on the channel itself is top notch, and if there's more similar showings of indie games I feel it would make for an interesting thing to keep an eye on.

Has anybody played "Shakedown: Hawaii" yet? I am curious to hear some thoughts on it.
My initial thoughts so far on "Darkwood" (for PS4): avoid until this gets a patch. I've been playing this for a few hours today and the frame rate gets worse as the game goes on, bordering on unplayable. The game also freezes for about a second or so during certain intervals (such as entering new areas). I also tried to exit my game and the game froze on me. I'm playing on base PS4.
UPDATE (5/23): Darkwood's issues have been patched. It runs pretty good now.

I liked everything about this trailer, and just the name Necrobarista has some weird appeal to it for me.

I'm making a free full length epic JRPG with the 3DS verison of RPG Maker. It's called \\GIFT OF HEAVEN///, and I started "pre-production" planning on it back in 2017, before RPG Maker Fes came out in the USA. Yall already know about \\GIFT OF HEAVEN/// if you watch Frame Trap cause I'm a sponsor, but hopefully with this post I can reach some of the folks who don't watch Frame Trap. I made a 43 minute promotional video... a short film... thing called Symphonia Anathema, featuring my own original artwork with 26 amazing oldschool videogame songs ranging from Megaman X 2 to Final Fantasy IX to Soul Reaver 2. You won't see gameplay, but you'll get a decent amount of storytelling and world-building in there, with a couple of jolly EZA references. Gameplay-wise, you're not going to be impressed until you play the \\GIFT OF HEAVEN/// Prologue, which will be available via the RPG Maker Fes 3DS App on August 7th. But since this is a story-based game, Symphonia Anathema is really an advertisement for my writing skills and my ability to imagine an interesting premise and vibe. So yeah, please watch my free short film and play my humongous free RPG. If you have a 3DS, thats all you need to play it.
