Ben there Dan that & Time, Gentlemen

A point & click adventure game + sequel with black humor. First game is free, 2nd is cheap.

 

Thanks for the link, it turned Steam into Hungarian. Have at it!

I know it's already known about on this forum but, Dead State deserves mentioning. Screenshots

 

Urgh horrible choice of font on the website though...

I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. 

Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.

Down and out on the Solomani Rim
Now the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!


 

Dead State looks cheap and horrible, but I'll make an exception there since the Mitsoda couple are working on it.

 

Quite a waste of talent, actually. Brian should have sticked with Obsidian and make real games.

Dead State looks cheap and horrible

 

For an indie game?

 

 

DS looks p.cool to me. Love the look, just hope that the controls will not be clunky.

I've seen better indie games, but I understand the point about graphics is mood about this niche.

I'd like to pitch in Jamestown. It's 50% off on Steam right now and pretty damn good as well.

of it if you remain unconvinced.
As for lazy Steam links, they're on mad discount and you can easily see trailer/screenshots there. Everyone is welcome to acquire the game directly from the official website should they so desire and the opportunity exist. I am in no way affiliated with Steam or any subsidiaries.

Heh, I probably came across a little more aggressive than the intention was.

 

The reason for wanting direct links to the developers is twofold; first, if you buy that way near 100% of the price goes to them. In this case I'd have complained if the links were to Impulse/ Gamersgate/ D2D/ Amazon download or whatever. Developer links also make them less reliant on vendor specific, time limited, special offers for those specifically bargain hunting. For a Grand Indie Megathread type thing links to specific offers are better made in subsequent posts, as and when the offers occur, in my most humble opinion.

Zoraptor is right - never buy from Steam if you actually want to support indie developers. Also, because of the whole verification / etc process stuff, indie games tend to have much slower patching/udpating on Steam - you're getting an inferior product.

 

I'm intrigued by Dead State and have no doubt Brian Mitsoda can write something interesting, but certainly the graphics currently look way too sanitised. Won't be so important if the actual game holds up, though.

Supporting developers is always nice, but I presume that most people want all their games together in a nice service, not scattered across a bunch of developers' sites that may or may not be available in the future.

Buy 'humble bundle's ;)

 

Steam is an absolutely last resort and the only reason I have it installed on PC at all is FO:NV.

 

(I mostly buy on-line from GG and recently from GoG)

I'm quite happy using Steam.

Where do you see 50s style on the screens?

"only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Isn't Age of Decadence supposed to be released in November?

The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Hmm, I seemed to remember from the FAQ/an interview that it would be '50's style.

 

From the pics, I don't see that, the cars are modern.

No. If at all, it will be the demo of the first town, but not more.

Glad to see the episodic model isn't completely dead :p

 

Soo, any more indie games or impressions of games mentioned here...?

I'd really like a party-based game or a squad-level game.

 

Can anybody suggest anything? Genre immaterial but am in the mood for dungeon crawl but can handle Sci-Fi etc.

Real of the Mad God

Haven't tried it yet tho. Also, Frozen Synapse in the first post.

 

It's a top down parody of Mario Brothers. Thanks :)
