With both feet in their mouth, they’ll say that independently developed games are nonpareil to others, and pretty much say “If you’re not indie, f*ck you.” Mega64 took note [...]

Ah, the RTS. Once a staple of strategy games, the genre’s been flooded with spinoffs, remakes, and more Age of Empires, Command and Conquer, and Warhammer releases than you can count. How are developers supposed to add vitality to a dwingling genre? With 20th-century mustachio dictator Josef Stalin and an extraterrestrial army, of course! Independent [...]

There’s always more than one side to an image, Super Paper Mario showed us that. That was just step one, however. Polytron’s Fez is taking that innovation to a whole new level. It’s showing us that there’s WAY more than one side to any image. It also shows us rotation is a hella lot of [...]

The open beta of the game is finally here, much to my delight. Indie fans and anyone who has a decent enough PC are [...]

What the ding-dally is Plain Sight, you ask? Well, dear reader, just take a seat and I’ll run you through it. Before the Eurogamer Expo, I had no idea about this game either, but after discovering and playing this gem I’m sure more people need to know about it. The game is developed by six [...]

Petri Purho, of Crayon Physics Deluxe fame, brings us this happy tidbit as part of his Kloonigames blog, where he makes a game a month.

Oh, puppies! I’ll save you from the evil lip balm and the nasty scientists! I’ll climb mountains and parachute off cliffs for you! But Rescue: The Beagles, by nenad, comes highly recommended (as 1st place in TIGSource’s Procedural Generation Competition and from me) not only because it’s adorable, not only because of the audio-visual nostalgia [...]

This happy asteroid is on my team now This game is seriously tripped out when you zoom way in and watch the plants grow. “Is it growing? I think so. I can’t tell. Is it getting bigger? It might be,” and then the little fireworks go off. The game Dyson, by Alex May, Rudolf Kremers, [...]

This week TIGSource announced the results of their latest TIGER Assault, the Procedural Generation Competition, so I’m taking a look at the top three! The theme was obviously “Procedural Generation,” which devs were instructed to define as they liked, but with the implication of “’random’ content (like graphics or levels).” Third place goes to…
