Indie games have just been so peak lately. Not only all of the new ones but even hidden gems being remembered like Crosscode for example. Deep rock exists and single player indies are thriving. All we need is Silksong to wrap a nice little bow on top of this year and we have fully established indie game supremacy.

There's so many other cool games, be it already released or yet upcoming, that are worth talking about. Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, Soulstice, Blud, Cookie Cutter, Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip, Zet Zillions, Genokids, Kings of Hell (warning, that one's a bit spicy), Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, The Mermaid's Tongue/The Mermaid Mask, Loco Motive, Enenra, Harold Halibut, Resistor, My Familiair, Fight'n Rage, GRIME, No Straight Roads... So much good stuff beyond what I could think of mentioning. Let's spread word on them all and support, by both praise and criticism alike, to help out such projects as much as possible.

Ok? I mean I love both games but “using stock sound effects” isn’t an argument. I think all indie games should be loved by different people distinguishing on quality (unless if it’s a scam or garten of banban) if it’s fun and compelling and gives someone joy, that’s all that matters. The indie scene is NOT a competition and it never was nor should it be, it’s about showing your ideas to the world and shouldn’t be a popularity contest, otherwise you might as well just be tossed with the AAA slop we had since the late 2010s…

It’s not like Xbox has any current gen exclusives, so they’re only moving their playerbase up to current gen which’ll happen eventually anyway. Also Sony got animal well as a current gen only title on PS+ day one.

​@@Hambo325 Valve is definitely among the most pro-consumer companies out there, but they still are a complex entity rather than a saint (working in a (in my opinion) not ideal capitalistic conception which I ultimately view as unsustainable as of yet - see 'Critique is unsustainable: A polemic, Michele Bigoni, Sideeq Mohammed, Kent Business School, University of Kent Canterbury, Kent CT2 7FS, United Kingdom, Critical Perspectives on Accounting Volume 97, December 2023, 102555') Notably, as Shounic said in his video on why the TF2 bot crisis isn't so simple - Valve should not be overly glamorized and viewed through a rosy lens; Valve's early pioneering of the lootbox/crate mechanic in the form of CS;GO cases andTF2 crates almost certainly ruined many people with debt and lingering gambling addictions. But the comments regarding Nintendo are right

I love the indie community man. It's just so great

10:05 LMAO, funniest part of this video. Just goes to show how much Triple A studios are struggling nowadays even Valve which arguable is the most well respected one is fucking up. You cannot right this shit lol.

An indie game called 1000xResist also came out on May 9th this year!!! I was kinda hoping to see it here lol

Cryptmaster looks really intriguing im not gonna lie, you don’t really see that kind of creativity nowadays

The best way to describe animal well is that it’s a game that takes away my anxiety and then gives it back.

that last bit hit different, cheers lad!

I like a little gator game more than most of the other fun do stuff games because it has a really great story that makes me cry every time. Crypt master would be a problem for me since I’m also dyslexic and I’m not a fast hyper or speller.

I burst out laughing when Happy Wheels sound effects came on ! 5:29 8:56 9:49

Fun fact about little kitty big city and its buggy platforming: my sister got softlocked under the ground trying to make a jump and had to restart her save file. Fun!

Indie games are thriving so much lately because indie developers care to ship a game without game breaking bugs. (There might still be some bugs, but more often than not they require you to explicitly force them to happen.)

An epic win for Indie games

dont forget cave story, which practically sparked the love of indie games initially, was all one guy who uploaded it for free online just cause he wanted people to play it, and it ended up spearheading the growth of the indie scene

Lots of 2d games with their own engine are made by one person. Honestly the best way to make a 2d game. Stardew, Axiom Verge, Celeste (Solo Programmer Only), Fez were all made by one guy on MonoGame which is a port of XNA which is the same Framework that Braid is made on.

Cryptmaster is basically if Typing of the Dead was a dungeon crawler.

don't forget 1000xResist! May 9th was insane!

Rain world is one of my favourite games of all time so I will definitely check animal well out

As a Dutch guy I will say "Matje" is a 10/10 name for a cat!!

ah the greatest day in indie game history is my birth day.

i think that a lot of the time games made by one person means that the creator is really passionate about what they do

5:48 There are cuter creatures than cats, Foekoe!

Animal Well and Paper Mario TTYD Remake will go down as the best video games as 2024!!!!!!!!!

ive been saying it, any game with a grappling hook is a really good game

Billy Basso even voice acted the kangaroo. That's dedication

Foekoe should try in stars and time its a really intresting story game that is severely underrated for how good it is

The hours this guy has spent in steam is more than the hours i spent in my life

Animal well was rly fkn good, playing crow country next :D

I would love to hear about Pacific Drive from you. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to.

Ngl, I did expect this to be about nine sols

I would say it's second coming of golden age of indie tbh, cuz if some art directions have "golden" ages, personally from what I witnessed, indie games always have cycles of a coming back even stronger with waves of new bangers.

All of them released on my bday, holy sheet.

With Crab Souls coming out and the attention it brings to Aggro Crab Maybe more ppl will discover Going Under as well

I love original outros

dunkey: fine I'll do it myself.

wow thats good

Shoutouts to Aliensrock his series on animal well is really cool

I wasn't able to get around to these on May 9th, but a game that is just as good that I don't see a lot of people talking about is SANABI. That game blew me away.
