Lifeless Planet


*Click for official website and trailer*

The trailer for this game has a really great lonely feel to it. I love the art direction and I think this could have some wonderful atmosphere. Right now they have a Kickstarter project where if you are willing to donate $10 for the game, they will give you a copy if-and-when the game is released. I always find those kind of deals a little questionable becomes it's like you are paying for a product that does not yet exist, but I guess it's better than donating $10 and knowing you won't get anything back from it. Still, lovely looking game.

Mage Gauntlet



Here's a game for action RPG fans that enjoy games like Zelda or The Secret of Mana. Mage Gauntlet has an overhead view and hack n slash style gameplay combined with spellcasting. It looks pretty cool. The release date will be announced soon and if you buy it when released, you'll be able to get it for $2.00, which is the only sale the developers intend to have because they hate buying games new only to see them for sale much cheaper a few weeks later.

*Click for sentimental trailer*

This is an RPG game set in modern times (what? no orcs?). I like the romantic spritework and the sentimentality of the story outlined in the trailer. I agree with what John Walker over at Rock Paper Shotgun had to say about it:

"Yes, it looks super-cute and schmaltzy. But you know what? GOOD! I don’t care! Everyone’s setting everything on fire and the economy’s about to implode. I want something cute and schmaltzy right now!

The game is due out in the Autumn, and I don’t care what you think of me, I think it looks lovely."

To the moon got this strange new trailer that is narrated by the developer:

It's so awkward, amateurish, strange, and comical that it has managed to strangely increase my interest in the game.

Wow! There are a lot of beautiful looking indie games coming soon. This one really takes the cake though because it looks so much like Ico, but with more green and red colors. Watch the trailer and see what I mean. I guess this is a game where the princess has been kidnapped and locked in a tower, but you are the princess and you need to find a way to escape.

This one looks amazing, I'll be following it closely.

To The Moon just got a highly positive write-up at Rock Paper Shotgun.

Warco: The News Game


*click for official website*

This game is like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, meets Pokemon Snap, meets Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Yes, I just drew all those connections. You are in the middle of a heated battlefield, but your only weapon is your video recorder. You are a journalist and it is your job to keep the public informed about what is happening to the boys at war. You have to run scared to stay alive, but still put yourself in harms way to get the best footage. I think the absence of a weapon will make this game pretty intense, especially since you will be forced to approach dangerous situations unarmed. I'm kind of looking forward to this one.

Megaman X: Corruption


*click for story with gameplay videos*

This is a fan made Mega Man X game that is looking pretty sweet. It's not completed yet, but it is based in Flash, so it should be playable online soon. Keep an eye out for its release.

This game looks fucking fantastic.

Mother 4

Here's another fanmade sequel that is on the way. Mother (aka Earthbound) is one of those great RPG series that never quite reached it's stride in the US. So as the series has been left to collect dust by Nintendo, fans have swooped in to create a sequel. I'm sure some of you will be very happy.

pid



This is a lovely looking platformer that should be coming out soon. Your main character has an anti-gravity gun that allows for some interesting gameplay, at least from what I can see in the trailer.
