Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Day 1 of posting an indie game I found that I think it is cool - LOVE ETERNAL (store.steampowered.com)

I am an indie dev and former game journo, and I run a newsletter where I share recommendations of cool indies coming out every week. I’m not going to link to it here but I thought I could drop an interesting find on here.

LOVE ETERNAL is a brutal platformer with a psychological horror story behind it. A soft sequel to an insane platformer called LOVE that took 7 years for someone to actually beat it or something like that. This has some of the edges sanded down, and does some really unexpected things. Worth checking out if you love hard platformers.

Thank you a lot for your work! I agree it's difficult to discover indie titles. Most channels only cover either AAA games, or the "famous" indie games (Hollow Knight, Hades, etc...). It's a lot more difficult to discover truly obscure stuff, which is a shame because a lot of great games get ignored and forgotten quickly. My favourite game from the last decade was an indie game that I discovered randomly, and it's a shame I could have missed it just as easily. Makes me wonder how many "favourite" games I missed over the years.

Well you can’t leave me hanging, what was the game?

Ha ha, you're right, sorry :P

It was CrossCode! It single-handedly reignited my interest in gaming after a few slow years. Then left me disappointed when no other game managed to capture my heart as it did :(
