16/20 - Undertale (2015)

Toby Fox shows us that the weird and unexpected can be very compelling. He takes familiar systems and twists and perverts them into something unique and delightful.

#gamechallenge #promosky #indiedev #gamedev #undertale

it is a business sim, yeah, with some roguelite and adventure game DNA. you run a deep space warehouse, fence stolen goods, pick locks, make space coffee and try to get out from under the thumb of the sinister space cartel.

15/20 - The Stanley Parable (2013)

The unreliable narrator is such a brilliant storytelling device. It gives you this deeply satisfying sense of agency when you can refuse to do what the game asks you to do.

#gamechallenge #promosky #indiedev #gamedev

That play animation is so good I don't even care what the game is, I wanna play it.

love this use of parallaxing

hahaha

Sephiroth, Deckard Cain, Yennefer, Trevor, Sora, Lady Dimitrescu and Gustave?

very unsure about some of those.

12/20 - Pizza Tycoon (1994)

Business sim during the golden age of the sim, but which stands out because of its delightful pizza designer feature. So tactile! Fantastic UX.

11/20 - Ridiculous Fishing (2013)

From visionary game designers Vlambeer, maybe the best mobile game ever made. Simple, addictive, flawless game feel. So, so good.

#gamechallenge #promosky #indiedev #gamedev #vlambeer

preach, 100% agree

japanese game designers often get stuff like that right. I mean, shadow of the colossus is another great example of scale - by the same developers - but even like shigeru miyamoto claimed to be inspired by childhood treks around the countryside when he designed Zeldas relative vastness and openness.

yessss, it's one of my go-tos if the game soundtrack sucks for whatever game I'm playing, oh well, time for katamari on the rocks again.

So this is a very legit take, but be aware that storing very large assets on git (e.g. videos) will present some challenges. the repo may grow unreasonably large as your git history gets longer.

There are ways around this, though, such as LFS or just storing the really large stuff in Dropbox or w/e
