The Drunken Lizard Pub

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 (Flash games - Machinarium, Samorost - Linux)
  Aldorlea (RPG Maker games)
  Amaranth Games (RPG Maker games, known for the Aveyond series)
  Bit Blot (Aquaria - Linux)
  BlossomSoft (RPG Maker)
  Charlie's Games (mostly shoot'em up)
  Chronic Logic (known for Gish - Linux games)
  Frictional Games (Horror Adventure games with good physics)
  Grundislav Games (small free AGS games)
  Heroic Fantasy Games (Knights of the Chalice)
  John Wizard Games (RPG Maker with lots of puzzle and humor)
  Mode7 Games (Frozen Synapse)
  Niels Bauer Games
  Positech Games (Gratuitous Space Battle)
  RosePortal Games (RPG Maker)
  Wadjet Eye Games (AGS games known for the Shivah and Blackwell trilogy)

And the vaporwares:

• Irontower Studio (Age of Decadence)
  Planewalker Games (The Broken Hourglass)

Am I missing some good stuff?

I missed a few:

• Data Realms
  Transhuman Design

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.

You're right. I knew them but they were'nt in my bookmarks.
Thanks!

Anything else?

I didn't make the list?
*sniff, sniff*

CaravelGames, for their DROD games.
Anybody ever tried those?

Wow, those are a nice addition to my list!

And I wholeheartedly agree with your signature...

Hi there..
I am also grateful that pointing to the ones you missed. I thought that sharing my knowledge could be a good thing.

How has Bay12 escaped the notice of this thread. Dwarf fortress forever!

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).

Just found out about StarWraith 3D Games.
Definitely fun! J
