Another TIGSource.com competition is complete, and now the rest of us have at least ten new indie games to waste a few hours with.
We’ve reported on theAssemblee Competitionbefore (short version: artists created sprites without direction in the first phase, and programmers took those sprites and built games around them in the second), but now the votes are in and the winners have been announced.
As was the case with theAdult/Educational Compo, I much prefer the second place entry to the grand prize winner:Bitworldis a relatively fun roguelike, butDungeon’s of Fayte‘s overall structure just blew me away.
InDungeons, you’ve got a limited amount of ingame time to prepare for the arrival of a Big Scary Boss.If you aren’t strong enough to defeat him at the end of the game, sorry — that’s it. Game over. Everybody dies. Oddly fitting that I’d only just play it now, as it has some (very, very) vague structural similarities with the better parts ofMass Effect 2.
But I digress. The finalists can be foundhere, and the rest of the entries can downloadedhere. The competition was surprisingly close, so don’t hesitate to check out the lower-placing entries.
