    It’s rare, but there’s a few indie games where I did not wait for a sale, even knowing I wouldn’t play it for a while, because I wanted to be supportive to devs that made something I wanted.

      Transport Fever 2 🙏, only time I ever spent 50€ on a game.

      They’re releasing 3, so there might be a second time soon…

        Moonring is another free game who had to add a $5 megadungeon DLC after being harassed by fans for months to give them a way to support the game monetarily

          This thread has some bangers. Thanks for sharing!!!

          I really like this “supporter DLC” model. And it legitimately warms my heart to see a lot of people saying they go out of their way to support indies this way.

          That is how gaming should be. <3

          I read the book’s wiki page, but it doesn’t seem to, besides the title. The game does have a narrative frame of strangers meeting at a masquerade ball on an odd train going through a winter landscape, but most of the game is the self-contained stories of 3 of these travellers, it doesn’t directly talk to the player.

      That was me with Dispatch. Got the Deluxe too

      Support your Indies. They are the future of gaming once the AAA industry collapses in on itself.
