This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Indies are bigger and better than ever.

Are they? Most I play are from the 2010s, even if they are still being updated in some cases. What are some good recently released ones.

Some I have put a lot of hours into: KSP, Factorio, Rimworld, Kenshi, Vintage Story. They might be better games than they were back then but it's still those games. X4 is fun, not sure if that counts as indie, should play it again, apparently it has diplomacy now rather than just shooting people you don't like.

Windrose is a giant indie success that shat all over Ubisofts attempts at satisfying people wanting a pirate game.

More. Not all meet the technical definition of indie (the studio being 100% self-pulished)

But all of these games are quality projects that have good traction without massive budgets.

  • Haste
  • Sektori
  • Kletka
  • Peak
  • Species: Unknown
  • Routine
  • Buckshot Roulette
  • Crow Country
  • Deep Snow Delivery
  • NEBULOUS: Fleet Command
  • Jump Space
  • Motorslice
  • Hades 2
  • Sifu

I could literally keep going if I went into games that are older or that I haven't gotten to yet.

My wishlist is getting longer, not shorter. I am finding games I want so much faster than I can play them.
