Yeah, it and Wizard of Legend are tied for my favorite magic system in upcoming games

Looking really great. Gibhard looks surprisingly similar to STRAFE, nice to see different companies try similar ideas.

Please point everyone that complains about AAA and sequelitis to this thread.

Just found out, but I didn't realize THOTH was already set to release in October.

With it, Aragami, and Thumper, October is gonna be one hell of a month!

Damn, forgot all about Thumper. I had played the demo in a Best Buy months ago, and it was so good. One of the most visually spectacular game I've played in a long time. Every moment was a wild gorgeous spectacle of color and movement and sound.

Also
- Butcher, the 2D "Doomlike" from the devs of Soldat
- Shenzen I/O, the next game from Zachtronics
- Dad Quest

Would Scorn be considered indie because the trailer is atmospheric as hell.

Totally, forgot about that one too

It's easily my most anticipated game as it hits on all my cravings. It's definitely a spectacle, but I also enjoy how it's tense, anxious, and ominous it is. Playing it give you a really weird sense of dread. I believe it is back on demo units again, and it's also getting the VR treatment.

I got to try the VR a couple months back and was impressed with SuperHyperCube, but was disappointed the second I asked if they had Thumper and was told no.

(I'll be putting together the |OT| for Thumper too.)

Thank you, Mr. Badass. I really appreciate you shining the spotlight on interesting indies. So many indies come it, it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Makes me want to game on PC.
 
Drone Swarm - PC, Mac
Nd3k2yS.gif

http://www.droneswarmgame.com/

Drones, controlled by an unknown force, almost wiped out the entire planet. By chance, humans found a way to gain control of the attacking alien technology. Earth was almost destroyed so they incorporated it into their own ships and set out to look for a new home. Control thousands of drones and explore the galaxy. Make allies, fight powerful enemies and invest in research to get more powerful abilities!

El Hijo - Summer 2017
H6hOHWL.png

http://www.honigstudios.com/work/el-hijo/

You guide 6-year old boy El Hijo on his quest to find his father, by escaping a monastery, fighting his way through the desert and avoiding monstrous creatures, and outsmarting horrible gangsters in the saloon of a villain town.
The game is set in a mythical place of the 19th century that very much resembles the American west, as we know it from Sergio Leone‘s westerns, taking some of its most popular characteristics of outlaw gangs, saloons, cunning, sarcasm, irony, etc. There is no indication of a specific time, or place. It could be everywhere and anywhere.

Altered State - 2017 (PC)

Altered State is a first person puzzle game with the main mechanic being the ability to swap positive and negative space within the bounds of a 3D space.
 
More_Baddass fighting the good fight as always. I for one really hope that the Switch will become a new portable home for tons of indies, sort of like a Vita 2.0.

1) Bump because more people need to see this
2) Your doing gods work More_Badass - are you on twitter or do you post awesome indies there frequently?

I'm following bots which can lead to some really cool stuff but I'm thinking of streamlining my twitter and would love to follow someone that posts regular but lesser known indies that I would have never heard otherwise.

Oh man, The Path to Die looks like it was made for me. Hopefully it will also end up being good. Some other intriguing looking titles.
