Games that I can vouch are good
Pillars of Eternity
Shadowrun Dragonfall (and then Hong Kong and Returns if you like that)
Games that might be good, but I dunno
Telepath Tactics
Rime Berta
Chroma Squad
Blackguards (1+2)
Oh yeah I forgot about Hong Kong. Cool, I'll go with that. That'll probably last me until WM part 2 is out and I'll start PoE through again. Thanks.
Did I mention that I like it? >_>
Also its only 49! ...at the time of writing this and likely not 49 anymore when you check again

What is your character of choice when you go into games like that? I used to go melee tank in hack-n-slash games but lately I just go full on magic and potential pet summoning if that is an option.
But of all the things that I can play on a laptop that is definitely not one of them!
I was always more of a ranger guy (bows, guns), but I went with the poison mage thing and pets.. yeah.

Yeah, I really enjoyed it as well. Probably didnt have enough listeners to make it viable though.
...
Anyway, I wanted to write "NOW its 50!", but I kinda missed that point already.

You should add The Short Game as a replacement recommended podcast. It's the only podcast that I've found that almost exclusively cover indie games. The last few games they discussed were Mushroom 11, Ori, Dr. Langeskov, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, and Undertale
That sounds pretty good. Will take a look.

Guys, if you like roguelikes - like real old-school turn-based roguelikes - and sci-fi, you should check out Cogmind. It's currently in alpha. but it's great and it has the only ASCII art style that I really like

Looks cute, might check it out down the line. (Probably not for 15$ though, considering the amount of games we try each month in these threads, no offense
None taken!
The game is currently 10% off through noon tomorrow (1/6) and I imagine we'll do periodic sales again in the future so definitely no rush if you already have a lot on your plate (or spent too much in the Steam Sale, haha!).
We're just trying to spread the word at this point so I'd appreciate it if you could please add Anomaly 1729 to your 'Recent Releases' post!

Talos is truly an amazing game. It feels so rewarding when you finally realise what you need to for a red block. I loved the interactions with the computer(which are even better in Road to Gehnna from what I've heard) I loved the time capsules. There's also a bunch of really nice easter eggs, something that's been missing from many games recently.
It's on a custom engine too, remarkable.

Pony Island thread reached page 2. Any time an indie game OT reaches more than a page, you know it's something interesting, enough to capture GAF's attention at least

Pony Island is a suspense puzzle game in disguise. You are in limbo, trapped in a malevolent and malfunctioning arcade machine devised by the devil himself. It is not a game about ponies.

Best indie news of 2016: Door Kickers 2 announced
Oh, and the first game is getting a retail release

Hopefully this will hit steam or gog sooner rather than later as it looks really good.
I would like to see it on a download service so i know its likely to be accessible for a good while. I just can't be arsed spending money with other services that either offer drm free or a single site download.
It IS good, but tough as nails. I can vouch for that as well.

Follow the story of two siamese twins who work at freak show. During the day they complete challenges to amuse the public, but nothing is never that simple. You'll discover how different these sisters are over their late-night conversations.
107.000 people who bought Factorio. So going to start replaying that game and preparing a thread for the Steam release (unless Baddy already started preparing one?)
I liked Baddies: "The best game you havent played" tag line, maybe with "now with even more STEAM" added or something.

We need to find a pic of the most sprawling, impressive factory
There was an insane one in the main Factorio thread, but that link is broken now
I found this one

I was thinking of creating a zooming out gif after I build a somewhat decently sized factorio, or maybe I can grab a savegame somewhere. (or maybe my old ones still work)
A really slow zoom from something basic to something insane and sprawling. It just keeps going.

Wow, props to the guy who made it. When I played the first stages of campaign I always ended up with a giant dysfunctional mess.
Also, 2016 started really well, with so many great games released and coming up. Thanks for the threads, by far my favorite on GAF.
the only trace of audio that I can find is soundcloud
https://soundcloud.com/metavendetta/tracks
but they only have 2 episodes
The Short Game is great. If you're into podcasts about indie stuff, Check It Out, Comrade is totally indie focused and has two really great hosts.

Did you list games in the IndieGAF thread yet? Only person included Nuclear Throne
The 20 game minimum is intimidating! I've played enough over the year but I don't really think about ranking games with that kind of detail.
I'll probably put something together before the 18th.
ANYWAY. Nuclear Throne is brilliant. I've been a fan of Vlambeer's style for ages but I always lose interest in their earlier games after a few hours. Nuclear Throne just gets everything right*. Perfect design, pacing, sound, music and oh god the guns are great. I keep going back.
*..everything but the 30 FPS limit. I don't like the 30 FPS limit.

I grabbed it, currently working on 100%. It's a hard game to discuss because I feel it's something that is definitely best enjoyed blind.

I have it too. Currently playing through it. It's definitely a really great and interesting game. Enjoying my time with it where everything you do feels like it's breaking the game in some way. I really like that level of exploration where it's a constant sense of discovery. Looking forward to playing the final parts of it but so far so good and the puzzles themselves seem to be varying as I progress.
