Let us have an Indie games thread
What are you playing Sup Forums?
What are you hyped for in 2017?
INDIE
Ryder Hughes
Julian Smith
The one where everything's pixellated.
Asher James
the one that's like that one SNES game if it were also like that other SNES game
Adrian Flores

I've been playing a lot of Devil Daggers. I can't get much further than 300 seconds, so I'll probably never hit 500, but it's still fun.
I recently bought Shovel Knight for $10 before the price went up to $25, but I haven't played it yet.
I want to buy Hollow Knight and Downwell, too. They both look great.
Xavier Rogers
I'm just waiting for Yooka Laylee
Blake King
Downwell is pretty good once you get a couple styles and color palettes that you like.
Owen Hernandez
Why would someone make their game look like that on purpose?
Jaxon Ortiz
Best platformers?
Matthew Cruz
idk why the more pretentious indie designers do this, either. is the camera really going to spaz out like that for the whole game?
Nicholas Wilson
You don't understand
Jayden Scott
>camera
Cameras weren't used before Super Mario 64.
Angel Butler
downwell is a great "feel like poppin in 15 mins and then doing some other shit" game. very fun to come back and revisit, same thing with devil daggers. i also bought shovel knight after pirating it years ago, decided it was time to give them my money (i do my best to give back to developers who make shit i genuinely like.) i'm playing through the plague knight campaign right now, pretty fun.
Levi Stewart
Why every indie game is pixelized shit ? I understand that its faster to develop but still, I'd say 40% of indie games are retro pixel.
Asher Perry
It's obviously popular.
Bentley Peterson
They grew up on 3-4th gen consoles
Ethan Hernandez
so you are saying most of the people buying retro pixel games are men in their 30s?
Jose Hall
So is it every indie game or is it 40% of them?
I'm not even sure what kind of graphics you're talking about, anyway. There are games which are deliberately made to look "retro" because people think it's cool, there are games which don't really look "retro" but have pixel graphics anyway because people think it's cool, and then there are other 2-D games which get lumped in with pixel shit just because Sup Forums is retarded.
Logan Gomez
No the devs are
The buyers are 14 years old kid who want to feel like playing on a SNES
Except it wasn't anything like op pic
Jose Sullivan
The average videogame consumer is 30 years old, user.
Jack Cook
I wouldn't be surprised if half of the people who buy video games in general are men in their 30s.
Christopher Barnes
Very interesting read on how the OP game look was achieved.

Gabriel Brown
Is Jotun good? The video of the gameplay doesn't really tell how it is
Ayden Jackson
Lyle in Cube Sector is pretty damn good for a free game.
Mason Gomez
Huge chunk of core gamers not including I play candy crush on my mobile group is 22 to 34 and this was a couple of years ago. It could be 25+ today.
Jaxson Gray
Old as balls, but really decent for its time, yeah.
Christopher Cooper
it doesn't hold up but it's ok. this was one of the original indie darlings in the cave story era of Sup Forums but even then lyle was still pretty under the radar. man, that was a different time. what else was big back then as far as freeware indies went? i can only recall cave story and lyle, gish was fairly big but it was commercial.
Jack Ortiz

Liam Wilson
The Signal From Tolva looks pretty cool. I'm glad that it actually hand crafted and not procedurally generated like SYABH. And it's not Kickstarter this time so Kickstarter actually served its purpose in this instance.
Carson Mitchell
Anyone?
Jose Jones
>easy to draw and align
>some people like the aesthetics, sometimes due to nostalgia
>allow the game to run on anything faster than pocket calculator
>personal choice and/or specialization, due to some people already having a prior experience in pixel art
>pleasing to the eye if done right
>allows a creator to focus more on music and gameplay
Did I miss anything?
James Harris
fuck off
Jace Johnson
Did I hurt your feelings? I do apologize. I had no idea you weren't expecting an answer when you asked a question.
Oliver Hernandez
This looks interesting.
Blake Butler
Yesterday I finished Night in the Woods. I like it.
I hope FP2 comes out this year cause the demo gave me the hypes.
Robert Wright
Try out Hollow Knight.
Carter Morales
Is this a Shovel Knight ripoff?
Nathaniel Robinson
Forgot to mention I'm getting through Dust: An Elysian Tail.
Jesus am I a furry yet?
