Then maybe you'll find this interesting - it's a stream of images closely related to the new project.

Truly beautiful imagery there, I caught myself staring at a few of those for a bit. I think this is much more my speed coming from them, but it's hard to say for sure. I did enjoy The Path at least.

Good news! Darkwood has been Funded with 6 days left to go in the campaign! Won't be hitting many stretch goals but $44,000 ain't bad.

Hoff, where's Toma? We might have to run a rescue mission in case he got buried under the new thread.

I love it , it's filled with subtle sexuality, well sometimes not so subtle, so NSFW.

Cool, I didn't know they're from Poland. I must support local indie scene!

Knowing him, he's probably already done with the work

I know Corto already made a thread, but I just wanted to mention the Double Fine's MASSIVE CHALICE Kickstarter in case someone missed it. This sounds like exactly my kind of game. Turn-based strategy, permadeath, randomised elements for replayability. Good stuff.

The Yawhg is really short, but the story, graphics and music are good.

It reminds me a bit of 7 Grand Steps.

Then how about a voting ballot, hmmm? ;p

DreadOut: As an indie Fatal Frame, this gave me quite the scares and I liked that the fail state is a Prey-style limbo state that is thematically appropriate too. Older detailed impressions here.

Souvenir: Ok, this is pretty damn cool. You know the Milkman level in Psychonauts? Topsy turvy Inception style levels. Imagine that in first person with Dead Space-like magnetic boot jumping around except with free camera. Like Psychonauts, this is also about memories where you collect souvenirs of your past and understand your backstory.

Pulse: Cute and scary, I'm in love with this first person echolocation puzzler. Gave more detailed impressions before.

Music of the Spheres: Quite the devious shooter puzzler with cool Islamic tile art.

Remembering: More like 2013: A Music Space Odyssey. At first, I was disappointed because it was too abstract and just dots everywhere with some nice musical ambience. Then I started left-clicking and then the Proteus comparison seemed apt. Left-click directs you to a sound beacon thing, and when you enter it, the landscape changes much like the vortexes in Proteus. And that ending is straight up 2001: A Space Odyssey! Music is amazing, gets quite industrial and creepy.

Gretel and Hansel: Played a little bit of it, perfectly nails the grimm darkly comic fairy tale vibe with the parents arguing to dump you kids into the forest. The visual style is really beautiful with the comic book dialogue bubbles. Love the fact that Hansel is so dumb, and Gretel is the actual protagonist.

Katabasis: NOPE NOPE NOPE. Didn't even know this would be a horror game, thought it'd be a nice exploratory dad/son camping trip. Not in the mood right now, will have to get back to this and play more. But definitely voting for this, definitely gave me the spine chills literally.

I think it's about time I play Katabasis. I could have sworn it cost $2.99 but now it's saying free on the Desura page. Can't say no to that!

It's working for me.

Yeah, it's up again, but I realized I downloaded it few days ago. There're so many games coming out lately that you can get lost.

 

[Hofmann]

Homesick: More first person adventure, yes please! I like that it's going for more natural beauty than an outright grim setting.

Hey Mess, I think it's not the same game as in OP...

I'm sure this is the game: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/312084766/homesick. Question is, how did he manage to play it

Wait, what? Two Homesick games?! I guess I should change my vote lol.

BTW, The Swapper is pretty sick.

 

[Hofmann]

Fans of Adventure/Suspense/Horror games should definitely check out Hyde, heavily inspired by Dear Esther and American Psycho. It appeared here before, but you might missed it and the genre is quite popular, so why not post it again. It has its own share of problems, similar to Fibrillation, but on the other hand it does some interesting things, especially when it comes to visuals and voice acting.

Katabasis' entire second stage was impressively suffocating.

Yeah that part, and especially

the tunnel, my brain was flipping out trying to understand what it was doing

. The forest was ok, but the inside part really made it special. Someone get that man a budget.

Looks nice, plus the Milkman level was my favourite.

"My god, it even has a watermark."

Is it like a couple of hours? Don't mind playing this since it's free, and I love those inspirations.

Anyone try Folk Tale yet?

Even better than that. I'll put up the release thread for it after I am done with the june Indie thread and my PSN classics for june.

DreadOut
Souvenir
Pulse
Katabasis

My vote. The month started off great, but I haven't had time lately and the games I did try out more recently didn't do anything for me.

 

[Hofmann]

Is it like a couple of hours? Don't mind playing this since it's free, and I love those inspirations.

No, it's much shorter. From what I remember it consists of five or six locations, each one takes few minutes, no more.

 

[Toma]

We got one first place and 5 2nd places this month. Funny.

It was about as much as in the april or march thread, so it was enough I'd say for what we are currently have as a community in these threads. But yeah, more voters would be great of course.

Sentinel - Just been released. Haven't played it, so I don't know if it's worth ten bucks.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=120125404

Sentinel is an interactive audio tower defense game. The game takes place on a sequencer-like grid. As you add defenses, collect resources and destroy enemies, musical elements are triggered in time to the music. The game is a mixture of standard wave based levels and puzzle levels where the player must defend the core using limited defenses and resources. I've been developing it in Unity for about 10 months so far and hope to have the game completed in the first half of the year.

That sounds incredibly cool, will check out some videos/impressions elsewhere and might grab it.

Funding is almost through the roof already. Cool to see.

Snagged a free 99 spirits code off the other thread, ha! Another game less to drain my wallet in june, lol.

But its brutal. Just bought a barely used and cheap WiiU Premium off ebay for 170€, Last of Us, 2 Animal Crossings and the Indies for june. Most expensive month this year, except maybe the month the PS4 releases.

To save us all... I should delete the june thread file and we should never talk about Indie Games ever again.

We would spend that money on AAA anyway. You are just teaching us how to game healthier.

Greetings NeoGAF community. My name is David O'Toole, I'm the developer of 2x0ng. Now that my account is approved, I wanted to say Thank You for your kind comments and feedback about my game. You inspired me to do some more frame-rate optimizations so that the game runs smoothly for most users; there is still room for improvement, that's the nice thing about open-source style development---version numbers

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I'm looking forward to lurking around on #personagaf and hopefully discussing some games. (I hear there's a new Armored Core coming?)

Heya! I really enjoyed 2x0ng as well, it was a lovely genre blend and was perfect for the highscore contest this month. The only issue was that you didnt get a real "ending" screen that would make for an easy screenshot to show how far you got, but thats nothing that most people playing it will be bothered by I guess
One other thing though, we now switched over to this thread since its a monthly thread series:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=572913

Could you please repost your post in the new thread? And just as an aside, you should take a look at the voting list in the first post of the new thread

OP video impressions, Airships (the video is currently still processing on YT, but I am off to bed now):
http://youtu.be/1UV4liopR_Y

Cute game in which you build ships from single rooms. A lot of promise, but currently not really enough content to warrant a purchase on its own, unless you maybe have a buddy to play the multiplayer battles with. I dont regret buying it, but I really hope the dev expands on a it a lot still, since even the current version proves that the dev knows how to make this concept engaging.

Edit: Also, I am way too tired and did a LOT of word mixing up/grammar mistakes in that video. After doing it 3 times, I kinda lost my concentration.
