>>4431 i think its accurate to say that yume nikki is a stream-of-consciousness experience. thats a label ive heard to describe these feverdream-like exploration games. yume nikki is practically a genre in its own, though, in regards to the games it inspired. theres nothing out there quite like the obscure, bootleg, slow-paced stream-of-consciousness adventure with a hint of collectathon that you get from yume nikki and its fangames

Momodora 1 is very similar to Cave Story in gameplay, and momo 2 takes on a more metroid-like experience. Very short games.
I would also highly recommend III and IV (especially IV).

At this point itch.io is the best resource of tiny freeware games, but it's still nice to have some sort of "I have played this and I know it's good" filter.
So I hope it's still useful for the small amount of people who still check on this thread!

Spring:1944 3.00 "Operation Frühlingserwachen" released!
Spring: 1944 is a free, open source WWII themed 3D multiplayer game based on the libre SpringRTS Engine. Our goal is to create a game that is as realistic as possible while still being fun and accessible to play. Games on average take 40 minutes and feature up to 8 factions battling to the last man standing. All factions are complete with several types of infantry, towed and self-propelled guns, normal and rocket artillery, tanks, aircraft and boats. The game supports big matches with thousands of units and double digit player counts.
A new version of Spring:1944 was released. This one is numbered 3.00 with codename Operation Frühlingserwachen and is based on the SpringRTS 103 engine. Operation Frühlingserwachen or "Spring Awakening" was a combined German and Hungarian counterattack in march of 1945 against the advancing Soviet troops near Lake Balaton.
Major changes since Spring:1944 2.0 "Operation Overlord" include:
>An "in-game" faction picker widget. It is now possible to pick your faction when choosing the starting position >A preview version of a new AI called spammer was added to assist the C.R.A.I.G. AI in training you for multiplayer games. This one will throw units at your at breakneck pace from a big and scary Flakturm. Can you hold your ground against it? Install the game and find out! >Some units have received a graphics makeover in the form of new models and new skins. Build menu pictures have also been updated. >For those who have new graphics cards a new graphics makeover has been added in the form of SSAO, color correction and Cook-Torrance specular shader. US: M36 Jackson tank destroyer
JPN: Type 5 heavy tank destroyer (Na-To)
JPN: Busou Daihatsu Artillery Craft
JPN: JPNT14 torpedo boat
All: Scout cars have been added
All: long range guns (longer range howitzers)
>Flags now display their value. As always, flags give you income with which you can build units and increase in value over time. >And ofcourse many many bugfixes. GET IT HERE:

There's a game I got off itch.io a while ago, but I can't remember it's title. It's a 1st person walking simulator type game where you go on the train to different locations (you wait for specific trains for each location) and meet various non-human characters. If anyone knows what I'm talking about I'd be very gratefull if they could post it.

The last week videos of a japanese dude playing this game started appearing in my Youtube recommendations, initially I ignored them but I've decided to watch one of them, apparently is a japanese horror game made on RPG Maker 2000. According to Google Translate seems like the name is Red Village (Akai Mura). I don't know what it is about but here's the game if someone knows moon-rune and is interested.
https://www.freem.ne.jp/win/game/16577 And here's one of the videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bEbThLTumk& I don't know if this is a prequel or sequel but seems to be related. According to Google Translate the name's Red Swamp (Akai Numa) which makes sense since the game seems to happen at a swamp now.

A bit late, but I've heard good things about this game on rpgmaker.net.
It claims to be made in the style of older RPG Maker games, and I kinda like that since Horrorvale was really shitty in my opinion, and you couldn't really get it if you weren't a huge RPG Maker fanatic.

>>6072 IMO it's a fun grindy game. IF you are dedicated enough, just about everything is free in the game. IF you need platinum (the premium currency), you can grind your way to get some by trading stuff the in-game market wants for platinum. there's really nothing that is locked behind real life money. all weapons and warframes are unlocked via crafting them. You can make just about anything end-game viable with enough time.
The only downside is that, around the end game/late game, the game will really make you grind resources. By the time you reach that late game, you'll have a comfortable build to do just about anything tho. Completionist beware.
