Indie Games; post some of your favorites!

@Wonkyth I'm totally down for some Wesnoth action. Just get FBB to ring me up, any time.

@Sani: I cry everytime I fail to save damsel ;_; I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way.

 

Word. Im not THAT much of a glutton for punishment. Its why I got limited enjoyment out of nethack.

 

Heh, you guys have obviously played Mr. Cautious around the mods! :P

 

I'll post a few good ones I know, might include a few mods I thought were worth mentioning.
2/3 of them are free and mods.

Pirates Vikings and Knights 2. (free mod with the source engine, you just need a game using the source engine like TF2 or HL2, does this kinda make it a separate game?)
This total conversion features 3 teams, which obviously are the pirates(2 classes) vikings(3 clases) and knights (2 classes).
Just saying its a good game won't convince so check out the video:


NMRIH.(once again, source engine)
A zombie game which features, well zombies.
Unlike Left4Dead or most other zombie games out there, guns are rare and ammo is rarer.
Most of the time you will end up trying to beat them to death with flashlights and bats or be running away from hordes of them.


Fortune Summoners.(JRPG?)
This is an indie action RPG which features a huge 2D world (which sadly doesn't give you sidequests), the bosses in this game are nice.
The story isn't exactly my favorite part, but then again the combat system makes up for it.

The English version doesn't feature voice acting, but that is just something minor I guess.

 

Thank God. Does it cost money? I assume the two source mods are free.

 

PVK2 is, at least. :P

 

Yeah, 14,99$ it seems.
The 2 source mods are free.

 

To answer your question, Sourcemod games are separate games. They just use resources from HL2, which pretty much all source games use.

I mean they could save us the trouble of downloading one of those games by making the resource files available, I don't see why they don't do that.

 

When downloading no more room in hell it automatically installes Source SD 2007 library or something, which I think saves you from the effort of having to install TF2.(can someone confirm?)
But at PVK2 you still need a source game.

 

Let's be honest here, if you're gonna be playing The Ship or E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy or yes, PVK2, then WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T YOU PLAYED HALF-LIFE YA LOW_LIFE?! \:D/

 

Had it on the Xbox, too bad steam doesn't accept my Xbox version :C .

 

Have we learned our lesson then? :P
That's right: Bad Xbox! >:(

 

Oh, Indeed! :P
I was, in fact, referring to Half-Life 2, which is indeed something special to this day! :D
I was suggesting that if you intend to play a source-mod game when you don't even have HL2 you have your priorities wrong. ^_^

 

Indie games are my life, I'd die before I listed my favourites

 

My favorite, without doubt is

Mount & Blade: Warband

Followed by

KAG
Terraria
Dungeons of Dredmor
Towns
Minecraft
Cardinal Quest
Wanderlust

 

Okay, here's some gooduns.

Streambolt Desero

Wicked fun run and gun game in the vein of Gunstar Heroes. Fucking love it. Tons of action with kindasorta cutesy graphics.

Valdis Story

Pretty rad little sidescrolling platformer, with much of the focus on combat. A lot like the newer Castlevania games.

Star Guard

Really, does anything else about Star Guard need to be said? It's fucking STAR GUARD. If you haven't played it yet, DO IT YOU FOOL.

 

Okay i have to bring in Smokin Guns here.
It's a western type kind of game based on the quake3 engine, it was nominated for some ModDB prize or stuff as well, anyways, the lack of players is a real problem nowadays, and i'm trying to attract new peeps to the game, would be nice to see some of you there ;-)
Oh BTW, the Bacons played it too waaaaay before the played KAG or now Tribes ;-)

 

Starbound is looking good, but it's not out yet. My favorites?

KAG - (Durr Hurr)
Terraria - (Yep, Terraria)
Minecraft - (I don't think there's an internet geek pro alive who hasn't heard of this)
Grecca - (Very small playerbase, it's like Haven and Hearth)
Haven and Hearth - (Don't play it anymore, for reasons I shall not speak of, but it was a long-time favorite)
