I'm not sure if this is a appropriate, but I'm doing this thread anyway. Discuss anything as you want as long it's all about the indie games and development.
Speaking of which, some of my friends are going to start an indie group... seems like most students that graduating from my course are ditching the opportunity to go into the AAA industry and start up their own instead these days. I suppose the Kickstarter campaign and some of the knowledge they acquire about government funding cannot be helped.
I was thinking about my own point-and-click adventure game, my design doc is almost complete, and I think I know where I could get the project going. I might need to add some of the asset a head start first, before I'll find some people to help me with the scripting and animation side of it.

May have already been talked about here, but Chris Roberts (Wing Commander) is making this neat sci-fi game with his indie team called Star Citizen, which, if I understood what he was saying, is pretty much a Bethesda game in space w/ multiplayer. It also lets you go seamlessly from your space cruiser hangar to your fighter cockpit to space with no loading screens.
Looks neat! There's a kickstarter page for it right now for another week or so. =D

I've heard of it too back in Gamasutra! I'll need to add a bit of cash in my debt card account before I can back his project though.

Tillian I LOVE point-and-click adventures. You should so do this.

I just donated to the Kickstarter to fund Barkley 2. I'm actually a bit worried about the direction it's going (it's an action RPG, rather than a JRPG parody, and there's more shooting than slamming and jamming), but I felt I had to support it after enjoying the first one so much. How many B-ball RPGs are there, anyway?

One of it's kind Glow. I think I should check out the first one when I had the chance. You know I'm a sucker for weird and kooky games like this.

Also, some of the dialogue is surprisingly well written. I was actually pretty sad when Barkley came across the tombs of the other b-ballers he was trapped in a basketball with during Space Jam.

Found this game. It's simple enough, where you play as an abstract artist and you have to do art for the upcoming exhibition. No win or lose scenario, just make nice pictures. It might not be on a grad epic scale but for it's context and design, I think it's already on my top 2013 list of games. Yes it's early but who fucking cares? It's my top something list, not anybody's. www.pippinbarr.com/games/artgame/ArtGame.html

I just saw an ad for this little chestnut on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/233740?snr=1_41_4__42Named and styled after the old Apple game Oregon Trail we have Organ Trail, a zombie themed roll westward adventure. It looks like there might be enough bells and whistles added to it to make it halfway worthwhile if only for a chuckle. No demo so I haven't tried it.
