Thread of overlooked PC indie games recommendation. Thread title speaks for itself!
I dont think GAF pays enough attention to the independent scene. Since making the Super Meat Boy thread i was surprised at how many gaffers didnt knew where the secret characters came from. And i can see how its hard to stay up to date with the whole scene, so the idea for this is to make a coherent list of the best of the unknown out there (unknown meaning = Braid, N+ etc dont count). Keep in mind that a lot of the links listed beneath the games direct you to the developer's site. SmbcPreloader.swf (application/x-shockwave-flash-Objekt) Cool Open Source Games you should contribute to. [Update1 20-07-2011] As per numerous requests, the games list has been updated with some more cool games that I’ve missed.
They have been prepended to the top of the list and as before, they are in no particular order. While the popular conception when it comes to games for Linux is that they are almost non-existent, this is only true when it comes to big and popular commercial franchises that are backed up by giant video game studios and publishers like EA Games, Blizzard and Konami. On the other hand, Linux(and other platforms like *BSD) benefits from a myriad of open source and free games, some smaller for casual gaming and others more impressive like MMORPG’s and FPS’s that could compete with some of the commercial games out there in their branch either in the current state or given some fresh amount of contribution.
