So I went to a small gaming event which had a showcase, and thought it'd be nice to occasionally share cool-looking indie games which are either out/about to come out/need funding. First stand out: Gunkatana Lightening fast cyber-punk action http://gunkatana.com/ "Gunkatana is a game of two speeds: turbo fast and dead. Fast 'n' dangerous grind rails take you to your next kill, across neon-lit streets and rain-soaked cityscapes." This was probably my favourite. The demo was slick with 3/4 playable areas, super simple controls, and great artwork and animations. The pacing is absolutely insane which made it all the more fun. Felt like a multiplayer Hotline Miami. They are looking to launch a Kickstarter to fund further development. Having spoken to the developer, I'd be happy to put my cash in. More goodness from them: http://geraldonascimento.ghost.io/dev-b ... reenlight/ http://tornpagegames.tumblr.com/ https://twitter.com/GunkatanaGame Will post the second stand-out later |

Double posting! Seraph Seraph is a skill based, acrobatic shooter that was released this week. The twist is that you aren't aiming, the character is, so your aim as the player is to position the Seraph in a way that optimises them to shoot enemies plus keeps them from getting hurt. It's currently £8~ on Steam, and coming out on PS4 soon. There's a bunch of live streamers playing now, and the gameplay looks super slick and beautiful. The story is intriguing as well, if that appeals to you. https://youtu.be/Td65QYVnmho http://store.steampowered.com/app/425670/ http://www.seraph-game.com/ |

Seems a bit 2008 to differentiate games between being indie and not indie. |

Oh man, Factorio looks like it could be an incredible timesink. There's a demo on Steam, and it's pretty fantastic. Basically you crash on a planet, and have to build production lines until you have enough stuff to go home. It's more fun than I made it sound. https://www.factorio.com/ |

But Craser would do something dickish, like run a train line past the front door of an alien base so the trains run them over and they chase the train to your Skynet robotics station and rip the fucking thing down. For example. |

We've moved on from stupid addictive Factorio to stupid addictive RimWorld. Basically you crash on a planet (like before) but rather than smashing together factories to build a way off the planet, you instead just try and fucking survive the winter. Plant crops, hunt animals, build up your shelter, get raided, get the plague, get too cold, get too hot, get twatty survivors having an argument and punching each other to death, get a FUCKING BEAR TRAPPED IN YOUR STORE ROOM so you can't go in there any more, get mauled by an angry rabbit, and get told off when you shout "MOTHER FUCKER" at 3am because a fucking wolf killed your Yorkshire Terrier And that's before you take prisoners, and start thinking up ways to convince them that they were wrong. Like maybe giving them an uncomfortable bed, or not feeding them the nice food. Or amputating all their limbs except for a single arm and then dumping the corpse of their wife in their cell and cutting off their food supply so eventually they have to drag their way over and eat her rotting flesh. For example. RimWorld is fucking great. https://rimworldgame.com/ [edit] Goodness I said "their" a lot in that fourth paragraph. |

It's worth pointing out that RimWorld is in (spit) early access, but - according to the developers - "It's a complete game. We're just leaving it in early access so people know we're going to be adding more things." Which is a bit odd, but there you go. |

Post subject: | Re: Indie games |
So its a complete game apart from the bits that they haven't added yet? Makes sense... |

I have a sow who lost all four hoofs to frostbite, and as such can't move. Her loving owner brings her food. This doesn't in any way stop any of the male pigs from wandering over and impregnating her from time to time. Jesus Christ, Rimworld. |

I am still completely obsessed with RimWorld. One of the best things about it is the massive and far-reaching mod support. So, even though I can't imagine anyone cares, here's a curated list of mods that I like and use. All are free through the Steam Workshop. Spoilered for length ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |

I would like to start playing rimworld. What's the best course of action, any mods that make life a bit easier for a newbie. |

I would play vanilla first. Then get a feel for what annoys you and what you like. Then take a look at the descriptions in my list above for things to improve your experience |

There is a tutorial in game, that will teach you some vital concepts - how stockpiles work, how to set bills at crafting stations etc. Your priorities, in order: A stockpile for materials Beds for colonists A kitchen and larder Power Hunting food Cooling for summer and freezer Crops Heating and warm clothes for winter |

I should also note it officially went 1.0 in December, so no longer early access. |

It's a fucking brilliant game. Once you've played, I dunno, once - make sure to choose Randy as the storyteller. And actually complete the game unlike Craster the pussy. |

You can make him do it by right clicking on the build site. Shift and right click will queue it rather than making it interrupt whatever he's doing. You can queue up lots of things. |

I've completed it like five times. Aside from the mad attacks at the end that bit's boring. Although there is a mod that then just crashes your ship again and you start again in the wreckage of your crashed ship |

Also there's Real Ruins. Takes a snapshot of all its users' bases and uploads them centrally, then you can get in game events where you stumble on an old abandoned ruined colony from someone else's game. |
