Did any of you get to check out the Overload early build? Glad I was able to before the Kickstarter ended, it's super solid already. After Sublevel Zero, I was itching for more 6DOF action
Indie Games 2016 [March] Nope, still not done

It's a shame that the fake Descent was able to make $600k (and still just barely crawled over the finish line) while the true Descent successor in everything but name alone only made half that. But still so happy it succeeded.
I was already excited when I learned the awesome one-man team behind Radiangames was the lead designer; dude makes fantastic dual stick shooters. The prototype build sealed the deal
Never gets old seeing the power of the final push for Kickstarters
Poor Consortium...

Hey, Deadbolt comes out tomorrow
I'll browse through the 7DRL entries next week. Short, concise games that won't take up much of your timeI seem to be having even less gaming time than ever before. I've managed a couple of hours in the division but that's it

Doing the Enter The Gungeon OT. That's already done, still thinking of a title.
Currently I'm going with Enter The Gungeon |OT| Guns. Lots of guns., which I like, short and simple, but also thinking maybe a fantasy quote tweaked with gun references could be cool too

Does anybody here know of any upcoming beat 'm ups (in the classic sense of Streets of Rage / Final Fight) besides Mother Russia Bleeds, Project Y and Viking Squad?
I find it baffling that this once vibrant & very popular genre is so neglected nowadays. I mean, with all these thirty-somethings into gaming right now, this should have a revival just like many other popular genres from the past.

Deadbolt - $9.99 (PC)
http://store.steampowered.com/app/394970/
DEADBOLT, made by the same developers of Risk of Rain, is an extremely challenging stealth-action hybrid that allows you to take control of the reaper to quell the recent undead uprising. Play and complete missions given to you by the mysterious fireplace as you become the avatar of death. While the reaper has an impressive arsenal and skillset to kill the undead, he has one flaw - he dies in one shot... leaving you with no room for error.
Very interested in impressions! Anyone who already grabbed it?

Haven't been in these threads for a while, lemme just browse the first page and-
I love the way this looks. Wow. It reminds me of UT aesthetic somehow but better.
And on another note, Stardew valley is cool but I feel like I'm playing it wrong. Mostly i just farm and I don't do much else.

Damn, it seems like a thousand games are slipping me by but for now at least it seems that every spare gaming moment I have is dedicated to my Stardew Valley home. I have not played a game so relentlessly addictive for a while, I have to really force myself away at the end of each play session.

Arachne - Free (PC, Mac, Linux)
https://pnjeffries.itch.io/arachne
Arachne is a roguelike created in seven days for the 7DRL Challenge 2016, the obligatory twist on the standard formula being that rather than a standard grid, the game takes place on a dynamically deforming spiderweb that you can build and destroy while you play.
the game is excellent, a no-brainer at that price
as i said in the thread, it ultimately boils down to a mix of side-scrolling hotline miami and gunpoint and it pulls that combo off with a lot of polish and style

Stellaris hype got me to install CK2 again. And once again, I stare at the screen as I go through the tutorial
Idk, something about Stellaris is much more appealing and seems more user-friendly. But I really want to get into CK2

It's great. While not as hectic as Hotline Miami or as stealthy/freeform as Gunpoint, it has strong elements of both, with its own unique style. Shooting is satisfying due to the ragdoll physics and blood splatters, almost every level so far has introduced something new to the mix, and the game is just polished and fun. A steal at $10

Cool! Hope development goes wellI just started working on my first game. I hope I can become active here in the coming months. Excited to get this thing going.
I also joined the steam group. Let's see how this'll all work out!
Have you seen the Indie Dev thread? You might find it helpful too
Thanks! I'm still in the planning stages but I'd say it's progressing quite well.
Yeah, I just subscribed to that topic, too.
I'm not expecting to be able to show results immediately. Learning to code (I'm using Game Maker), creating art and so on takes a long time after all.More_Badass

Toma's blurb for Software Inc got me super interested in the game again. Checked out the Trello and the dev has some awesome mechanics in the pipeline like:
- crowdfunding your project
- employees becoming famous (marketing boost!), mentors, sending employees to conferences
- antivirus and tools to deal with piracy, clones, leaks, DRM, viruses
- developing expansions and content updates for your games
I should really just get the game already

The game was already super interesting back when I first played it. Just checked what they added in the past few iterations, which includes stuff like a more realistic sales model, more program features, more building options, outdoor areas, patents and tons more.
But yeah, definitely a game to buy.

Urrg, this is a little frustrating. I saw an alpha build for a game at work today which I was intending to download later but now I can't remember the name of the game and much about it. Oh well, I am sure it will come up later and that humble bundle with all the alpha builds will eat up that time instead.
In other news, finally beat that Stardew Valley addiction. Still want to play it but not quite as much so I can finally get back to trying out demos and alphas and other stuff.

Ummm, it was on steam (had a page and everything), it was releasing sometime in the q4 this year. I believe it was a multiplayer focused game with an art style something like Volume or Gang Beasts although I am very hazy about those two facts. I was flicking around steam so I could easily be remembering another games page.

Hmm, not much to go on. For some reason, the first time that comes to mind is Necropolis, due to the isometric angular style and because it has co-op
