One day i'd really like to add myself to the list of successful independent game developers, but for now i'll continue following the journey of others that are well and truly on the path to success.
In this post i'd like to highlight a few that really inspire me. I make no secret, some people admire pop stars and actors, for me i have an equal amount of admiration for these people.
Stasis
What the developer says;
"Stasis is an adventure game, that puts you in control of John J. Maracheck. A deep space ‘salvager’, war veteran, and captain of the DSV Hawking. Going back to classic adventure game mechanics, you have to solve puzzles, and use objects around you to progress, and to uncover the mysteries surrounding The Groomlake.
Graphically, Stasis is fairly unique in the adventure game genre, opting for highly detailed isometric graphics, as opposed to the more classic ‘side on’ views of other adventure games. Richly detailed rooms and fluid animations create an immersive environment for the captain to explore, with danger lurking in every shadow."
Rhem
What the developer says;
"RHEM 4 is a graphic adventure (point-and-click, pre-calculated first person). The virtual world is shown through the eyes of the players. The environment consists of individual pictures covering a 360-degree view. Navigation takes place through going forward, turning left/right, etc. In principle, each standpoint has four views. In the virtual world, one must have in advance different puzzles to unlock, representing both collection and use."
Gemini Rue
What the developer says;
"Azriel Odin, ex-assassin, arrives on the rain-drenched planet of Barracus. When things go horribly wrong, he can only seek help from the very criminals he used to work for.
Meanwhile, across the galaxy, a man called Delta-Six wakes up in a hospital with no memory. Without knowing where to turn or who to trust, he vows to escape before he loses his identity completely.
As fate brings these two closer together, we discover a world where life is cheap, identities are bought and sold, and a quest for redemption can change the fate of a whole galaxy"
The Blackwell Triology
What the developer says;
"Play the role of Rosangela, a medium, in The Blackwell Legacy. She must assist tormented spirits by investigating supernatural mysteries with the aid of her spiritual guide Joey Mallone. The duo's first case will involve a series of suicides at a local university. Something unnatural has forced these students to kill themselves, and only you can solve the mystery!"
Amertis
What the developer says;
"Indeed, those of you who enjoyed the quaint charm of the photographic settings in Atlantzone may be taken aback by the Amertis graphics which include a large amount of 3D. To soften the shock, and make them feel more comfortable, we have made sure the story begins in the “real” world, that is to say with photographs. But after that, fasten your seatbelt, you're in for a great new adventure!
And as you will see, very soon, the game stops being linear. Of course, some actions will still be required before you can progress or get to do something else, but you will have much more freedom of movement than in our previous game."
The Lost Crown
What the developer says;
"There is an ancient treasure, hidden out there in our haunted landscape...but, are you the one to find it? Others have tried, and failed...not though lack of effort and skill, but because someone, or something, has stopped them...dead.
Join Nigel Danvers & Lucy Reubans, treasure seekers and ghost hunters, on their adventure through the murky world of Saxton, England, as they seek answers from a mysterious world inhabited by the living, but haunted by the dead.
Be warned; not all lost treasures should be found. Beware the ancient guardians, who have guarded the last great Anglo-Saxon Crown for over a thousand years...they will be waiting for you."
Limbo
What the developer says;
At this time I can't find anything to quote from the developer. See the wiki article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbo_(video_game)
Alpha Polaris
What the developer says;
"In the midst of the snowfields of Greenland lies Alpha Polaris™, an American oil research station. High above, the ion storm of the century is gathering, bringing about a strange intermixing of reality and night terrors. It is up to Rune Knudsen, a Norwegian biologist, to take on a desperate struggle against fear and death, and to face the primordial force lurking beyond the veiled sky.
“The heart of the game is its restrained horror setting. It allows us to explore a wide range of human themes in a realistic way: paranoia, isolation, friendship, love and so on. To us, that is the core of a good horror adventure.” -project leader Teemu Vilén."
