I tend to disagree, these doesn´t look cheap, compared to some pixelart games from here.

Moreover, it´s indie games + small/middle sized studios who dare to come with interesting ideas and challenge status quo in their respective genres, something your favorite games from 80´s and 90´s did, why do you call that crap?

Looks pretty neat.

Is there any Populos (spelling?) like terrain shaping? I like the added aspect of levelling up and designing your followers.

Also thought it looked good when I peeked at the screenshots but the fact that it was made by the people that did Renowned Explorers brings it up even higher (thanks people in the thread that mentioned that). I adored that game. Ton of fun, great combat and really captured that FTL vibe but still managed to make each individual playthrough feel like a "real game" and not a one off run.

Ooooh, sorry, skipped that. Hmmm, I only heard of Godus in that list. Still it looked interestin'.

Ive been waiting for Black and White and its sequel to come to GoG. They are some truly awesome old games that I spent a lot of time on.

It makes me wonder why this game seems to have worse graphics and less features than those games. Ill keep it wishlisted while its developed and wait for a sale.

I was talking about using the same formula, not trying to innovate (i.e. Call of Duty) (and also mentioned the pixelart graphics, which are prevalent for indie scene and I think market became quite saturated with these games - the only exception would be Undungeon, which I am looking forward to play. Also ports from mobile games have this sickly cutish cartoon style - those I agree that currently we don´t need more of them) - that´s why I said that games of yesteryear did the exact opposite and today this stance holds the indie segment.

And those indie games have various graphic styles, not only pixel art or drawn.

Why are you separating games like Divinity: Original Sin and Kingdom Come from the "other" Indies? - those are Indie games, both existing only because of Kickstarter (which is platform, among other things, for financing Indie games, which big publishers didn´t want to or wouldn´t want to fund/publish for one reason or another), and you can put here, into Indie category, games like Braid, Wasteland 2, Ghost of a Tale and others. Studios who done them were middle sized, which I mentioned, but they doesn´t fall into AAA category.

looks like some mobile games ive gotten in the past, easy time wasters. good for a bit of fun,

To anyone who has bought and played it already: how much is present in the game already? I don't pre-order but if there is enough content already present I could be persuaded because it looks like it has good potential.

I think there are different quality tiers of indie games. Without getting into value judgments of what's "good" or "bad", I think it's important to recognize there is a fundamental difference between a Wasteland 2 and [insert random gamejam game posted on itch.io here].

In getting into value judgments, the indie games I judge as a good value are the big Divinity, Kingdom Come, Wasteland 2 type games. Those are the type of indies I view as better than AAA since they have big production values, scale, and don't remove their soul in the process.

Not quite sure where Godhood falls in the "tiers" of indies for me, somewhere in the middle I suppose. The asking price strikes me as a bit high. A game like this would benefit from a demo, imo.
