Indie studios

CycyX · **Posted:** Sat Jun 12, 2010 5:11 am

For the last few months, I've been searching for good games coming from indie studios (good games for me means not browser based, downloadable game, possibly with a Linux client, avoiding Flash if I can).
As I found a few, I though that sharing my knowledge could be a good thing.
And I hope you will kindly point me toward the ones I've missed.

I'm not going to talk about blockbuster indie games like Braid or Wolrd of Goo (2D Boy), but more little games and studios I like.

I hope everyone here knows about Basilisk Games (...) and Spiderweb Software, but I'm not going to stick to RPG games here.

The fisrt studio I ever heard of was Introversion (action games, 75% with a Linux Client).
Then I stumbled upon Moonpod.

After that, I fell in love with indie developers.

So, here is my list (most of these are commercial games, feel free to give me links about good free games):

Amanita Design

Aldorlea

And the vaporwares:

Am I missing some good stuff?

You're missing Soldak Entertainment (maker of Depths of Peril, Kivi's Underworld, and Din's Curse), and Ambrosia Software (makers of some good games about a decade ago, though I haven't taken to their more recent offerings...), at least.

Anything else?

I remember Escape Velocity was fun. Even custom designed my own plugins for that game once upon a time (in a land far far away).
