Topic: The Indie World presentation changed my view on Indie Games!

I'm a big fan of Indies. I like to think fo the AAA games the full meal, but indie games are like snacks. Most are just little bundles of joy. a couple I recommend

• In Other Waters - if you like reading and visual storytelling then this game is for you. It has such a cool plot and an original idea.
• The Touryst - one of the most gorgeous games I've played, The Touryst has plenty to do and loads of levels to explore. A
• Bug Fables - this is one of the longest indie games I've ever played. It's an RPG that takes heavily on the original paper Mario games.
• Untitled Goose Game - you are a goose. Enough said.

Yeah development companies who qualify as indie is a bit blurry. But the most basic definition are games that didn't receive financial backing from a publisher or platform holder. For example, Minecraft is the most successful indie game of all time. Yet some folks dismiss the game as not being indie since MS bought Mojang back in 2014.

There needs to be more mentions of Steamworld Dig (1&2), The Touryst and My Friend Pedro in this thread.

@jump I’ll see your SteamWorld Digs (which I love), and raise you a SteamWorld Heist. Still their best work, for me.

@Krull Heist is definitely my favourite SteamWorld game so far too. Quest is a little ahead of Dig 2 for me as well. All great games.

@Krull and I’ll see your digs and heist and raise a quest. Which is also great and I got for free so I love it even more.

Indie games are the future,
Nintendo is the only company that keeps on my opinion high standards but many other developers keep doing the same thing, playing it safe going for the money indie developers don’t they make it with so much love, and gameplay is key, above art everything.
