[5taquitos]

I didn't know that they had picked up these, those are some big names

 

[epmode]

These guys and Devolver have been impressing me lately. Good call.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

you forgot Jazzpunk

and I'm not buying anything from Devolver until I see some of Serious Sam 4

 

[petghost]

yeah its awesome to see them picking up bigger and cooler projects.

 

[Jawmuncher]

With older titles has Adult Swim marketed them at all during their air time? I know they do with some of the mobile fare. Would be cool to see them doing that for their indie titles.

Regardless they are doing some great work thus far and it seems like they're not a bad pub to work with.

 

[Corpekata]

You've got their upcoming stuff but they already stood out with Volgarr the Viking, Super House of Dead Ninjas, and Jazzpunk.

If I recall correctly I saw some for Volgarr.

 

[NIN90]

Super House of Dead Ninjas is the GOAT

 

[More_Badass]

I didn't realize they published Volgarr and Jazzpunk. Wow, so yeah, their line-up is even more impressive

 

[spyroflame0487]

Not gonna lie, Giant Boulder of Death for mobile phones is a really fun game. These ones look quite fun as well.

weird thinking of adult swim as a game publisher. Especially since CN has such a track record of shit games, except for a few actual gems.

 

[Jintor]

Adult Swim Games has always secretly been kickass

 

[Visualante2]

Loved Jazzpunk last year, a couple more good games from them and they'll be on my radar like every Devolver release is. I listen to SuperPac on P1P and I often got the vibe that they're into web and mobile stuff but if they start doing more download games that's cool with me.

 

[Coffee Dog]

You forgot Volgarr, you fool!

Volgarr is probably the best game to come out of adult swim. Soooo good.

Edit: you remembered volgarr, but the images were broken fixed now.

 

[Easy_D]

I didn't realize they published Volgarr and Jazzpunk. Wow, so yeah, their line-up is even more impressive

Yep, quite a diverse publishing lineup, with a soft spot for amazing 16-bit era games it seems.

You forgot Volgarr, you fool!

Volgarr is probably the best game to come out of adult swim. Soooo good.

Yeah Volgarr is fantastic and I say that as someone who hasn't even beaten Stage 2 yet :lol. It's old school hard. Except more fair and you only die when you fuck up.

Oblitus has been advertised during Toonami from what I remember. I see them doing more ads for their games.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Super House of Dead Ninjas is really good. I like some of their phone stuff too. That f2p castle defense game is a guilty pleasure.

 

[Meia]

Adult Swim Games has always secretly been kickass

Yep. Spent so many hours with the amateur surgeon games.

 

[Drilbit777]

So when is Death Vegas going to become a full game? That game would be pretty sick if I didn't have to use a keyboard.

 

[billy beane]

Adult Swim Games has always secretly been kickass

They do some pretty cool stuff with music too.

Their iOS games are some of the few I think are legitimately good.

 

[Sendou]

Loving both what they and Devolver are doing. Impressive lineup indeed. I think in future we're going to see even more companies like these when it becomes harder and harder for indies to standout. It has a lot to do with Steam opening up the floodgates and consoles while far behind also have a significant amount of quality releases each month. So many games coming out some good games are bound to get pushed out of the spotlight.

 

[vypek]

The recent advertisements of Oblitus have made me really interested in them. Looks like they have some good stuff.

 

[Ikon]

Death's gambit looks amazing! Is it out, or do we have a date?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Adult Swim were known for putting out some of the best high quality flash games on their website. I played a lot of that Inuyasha Demon Tournament game which was a turn base tactical RPG fighter and Amateur Surgeon is great if you like Trauma Center games. Not surprised they want to branch out to indie games.

 

[Nabs]

It looks like they are also publishing Traverser:

Not out yet, but the devs will be releasing a new trailer soon

It looks like they are also publishing Traverse:

Nice. I vaguely remember this, didn't realize they picked it up as well

 

[ghibli99]

Volgarr FTW! Love that game so much.

 

[OnionPowder]

They advertise them pretty heavily as well. I was watching cable on vacation and at night I'd watch Adult Swim and they would show like 1 commercial for Oblitus every hour.

So far I'm pretty impressed with their output.

 

[Xeroblade]

Super House of Dead Ninjas is the GOAT

I wish more people knew this. I loved how fast it was.

 

[A Link to the Past]

I was really, really surprised when I learned that Jazz Punk was Adult Swim.

 

[Mesoian]

Don't call it comeback, AS has been here for years.

Spoiler

Neogaf really needs to embrace webm, this gif shit is killing me

 

[bishoptl]

Is...is that a new Westerado?

 

[Noclue]

Wasn't Paranautical Activity supposed to be published by Adult Swim as well? I think there was a scandal with Steam not allowing them to get on steam and having to go through greenlight which made the PA devs drop the publishing deal, but I might be wrong.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I was really, really surprised when I learned that Jazz Punk was Adult Swim.

Were you really? The humor in the game fits their style.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I wish more people knew this. I loved how fast it was.

Yea, this game flew under a lot of people's radars. It plays like a dream and is fast as hell.

 

[louiedog]

I wish more people knew this. I loved how fast it was.

Yep. One of my favorites in the last few years. It feels like the arcade racer of 2D action games.

 

[Nabs]

Is...is that a new Westerado?

Here you go:

 

[More_Badass]

Is...is that a new Westerado?

Yup, an improved and expanded version of the flash game. New weapons, new areas, improced visuals, etc.

[Xeroblade]

Death's Gambit - A 2D pixel art mix of Dark Souls-esque combat and Shadow of the Colossus

I really need that inside me right now. When does this lovely thing come out?

 

[Jobbs]

adult swim games has really been a good thing for the indie dev world -- IMO -- and one of the games I'm most looking forward to is Death's Gambit. Just watched it on the twitch hosted event (that is still going on as of 7pm et) and it looks really awesome. Very castlesoulsia.

 

[Nabs]

Rise and Shine

 

[More_Badass]

Don't call it comeback, AS has been here for years.

Spoiler

Neogaf really needs to embrace webm, this gif shit is killing me

Yeah, they've always had great games, but they only recently started getting into the publishing side of things ala Devolver.

 

[skynidas]

are there any of these coming to PS4?

 

[LiK]

CJ's doing good work.

 

[Conkerkid11]

I hadn't heard of Death's Gambit before.

Why can't I kickstart all of these.

Edit: Oh wow, and Oblitus came out today. Why haven't I heard of it? Is it any good? The reviews aren't helpful because the only negative is someone who doesn't know how to use a PS4 controller.

 

[More_Badass]

Rise and Shine

Rise & Shine too?! How did I miss all this stuff? And I had even been following Rise & Shine on TIGSource too

 

[Gunstarheroes]

No love for Mega Coin Squad in here?

 

[DTU]

Hell yeah, Ghost Song. That's a nice get.

 

[Zukuu]

Isn't an "Indie-Publisher" kinda contradictory?


Jazzpunk is dope.

 

[JeffGrubb]

I wrote about their efforts way back in 2013. Amazingly cool company.
