Nahdia's Indie Game Thread

[Isis]

How well could I play Death and Taxes if I'm uncomfortable with my own mortality? I've been refusing to try Mortician's Tale for that reason.

I like Nahdia posts.

I think about how, a lot of simple games like what that one appears to be, it probably feels less and less overpriced the less exposed you are to games that are very similar. Whoever happens to be the creative who presents you some inherently fun thing, like <movement puzzles>, <parabolic trajectory game>, <match3>, gets the gratitude for that core fun element, and that gratitude might not be scaled very well for how much additional decoration and enhancement there was or wasn't. Kind of like a ticket to see MacBeth seems fair at 10$ for amateur actors because it has a good story in it. Am I making sense?

With steam's generous refund policy you can play a game for a few hours, after the psychological experience of paying, proportional to the cost, and make a decision about much it feels right to pay for it (well, if it feels like less but not so much less you want a full refund you're out of luck, but if you feel it's going to be a fair purchase you can keep the game and if you feel like the developer must surely deserve blessings it's probably not hard to search engine for a patreon somewhere nowadays?). So I'm optimistic people will be paying what they ought to be paying for games, on the average.

My PC crashed while I had OneShot running and I assumed it was because it has 4th wall break stuff going on in its code, so I did not complete the game I don't have money for a new PC right now and I've heard of PCs getting degraded after crashing too many times

What is Game Pass?

[Isis]

My mind is a little bit blown right now

[Isis]

I wish I was a sort of person like Nahdia

[Isis]

i like that you start by questioning "what is indie" but then the game in question is one of those ones so heavily narrative focused it raises "what is game". It's like an onion with layers.

A special rank of knight of unspeakable power

[Isis]

that would be perfect, I would actually finish Underhero today

[Isis]

pls don't talk about Ready Player One

[Isis]

Did you think the characters weren't well calibrated or were underdeveloped? The first time you talked about Crosscode it seemed like you were saying something was off rather than missing, your second take sounds like "something was missing".

someone gave me a code for a 3 month free trial for game pass, if I don't actually like it and forget and cancel late it's like 4 months for the price of one and probably ok and etc.
Touhou Luna Nights looks fun and cute?
There's a lot of the kind of type of stuff that doesn't interest me anymore like shooters and RTS on here.
I told myself I'd finish optional content in Your Turn To Die next when I abandoned Underhero.

[Isis]

Yeah I usually like things marked Metroidvania

[Isis]

I beat Luna Nights

[Isis]

I didn't think this thread was going to conspire against my wallet's interests so much

[Isis]

There's a spelunky 2?
Its weird to hear there is a sequel since I just barely managed to beat it and am aware of tons of stretch goal stuff you can do that I def don't feel up to accomplishing
