Though the battle might be endless, I will never give up
Hi,

I think it's really easy for people to just ignore games if they aren't on steam and I think that's a big bummer!

here's some games I think are highlights!

Kero Blaster http://www.playism-games.com/games/keroblaster/
why wasnt new game from cave story guy bigger news wtf?!?!

DROD: The Second Sky http://www.caravelgames.com/Articles/Games_2/TSS.html
drod is badass as many people here can attest but maybe this new one will have too hard puzzles for noobs, this is the final game in a story that started in 1997 holy crap! you can get them on this site or for a good price on gog

do you have some non-steam pc indie games from 2014 you want to highlight?

VA-11 HALL-A looks pretty interesting but not actually coming out in 2014.

Return of the Obra Dinn was a pretty cool walking simulator.

A multiplayer Euro Truck Sim where you can play an evil trucker and gently caress with other truckers sounds pretty fun IMO.

Red Entity is a game about a bunny girl, her giant mech, the connection between them and a couple thousand fearsome enemies against them.
There's a special class of game designer out there that really want to make overly busy 2d action games featuring little girls as protagonists. Why are there so many of them?

Was another one I had good fun with.

Pretty much this was a year of "sort by free and Windows" on itch.io for me

Just played this and it's pretty fun. It's like a randomly generated Cave Story. I really wish it'd support joysticks without joy2key though.

yeah I can confirm that with the use of joy2key this game is super slick on a fightstick


and it's just a tech demo still but http://fervir.itch.io/elysis is pretty cool too, kinda reminds me of a topdown 2dzelda with more rpg elements

Cave Story was really really good. Is Kero Blaster really really good? It's weird to feel like $8 is a lot for a game but somehow here I am, unsure if I want to spend $8 to ply another game made by the Cave Story guy

Maybe because along with being really really good, Cave Story was also freeware

It's good and charming but it's very short and feels like a little stand-alone thing that I probably won't ever revisit.
