Après noël, le staff d'E-maginations et l'équipe du Guelnika vous souhaite une bonne année 2014.

C'est ainsi qu'on va revenir une dernière fois sur l'année précédente par la biais du site "Indie DB". Ce site a classé les 10 meilleurs jeux indépendants de l'année 2013.

Cependant, plutôt que de re-lister le top 10 (point Daragonis), nous donnerons aussi l'avis de certains membres de E-magination, qui sont des testeurs dans l'âme (Cependant, chaque jeu n'aura pas un avis).


Numéro 1: Starbound
*******************


"Starbound is a 2D space exploration sandbox game developed by Chucklefish Games. Star systems, planets, weapons, and enemies are randomly generated, but unlike other games in the genre there is also plot the player can follow if he chooses."

Avis de membres:

Spoiler:

Garywiss : Terraria ne sert plus à rien. Un jeu d'exploration/aventure/mining/platform/dungeon crawler qui est aussi fun en multi qu'en solo avec un bestiaire bien rempli et beaucoup d'objets sachant que le jeu n'est qu'en bêta. Pandaragon : Un jeu indépendant, ressemblant et pouvant être une suite spirituelle de Terraria, le principal but étant de survivre en allant sur différentes planètes et différentes galaxies. C'est un jeu encore en bêta qui mérites encore plusieurs améliorations, surtout celle de ne pas enlever les inventaires des personnages et des vaisseaux à chaque mises à jour. Un jeu prometteur, pas cher pour un jeu aussi bon. Choco-sama : Après avoir connu Minecraft, puis Terraria, comment se dire qu'un tel concept puisse encore être exploitable? Simple, créer un univers composé de nombreuses planètes à visiter, plusieurs races de personnages et un bon système de craft et d'exploration. Bien qu'encore en bêta, il est clair que Starbound a une immense potentiel, que ce soit en solo ou en multi.

Numéro 2: Contagion
*******************


"Contagion is a cooperative survival horror FPS built on the latest Source Engine where players are forced to watch their ammo and aim carefully otherwise be overrun by the zombie hordes. Players will face traditional zombies as well as former teammates who have been turned themselves and now see not friend but fuel to keep the carnage going.

- Play alone, with a friend, friends, or with a group either offline or online.
- You begin your story as a survivor but how long until your taste buds hunger for flesh?
- Randomly generated weapon, ammo, and item placement.
- Unpredictable and intelligent zombie spawning system that adjusts to the players actions.
- A pathing and objective system that has you returning to the same map repeatedly with a fresh feel to it.
- Full Steamworks support.
- More information coming soon."


Numéro 3: Kerpal: space program
*****************************


"Kerbal Space Program is a multi-genre game where the player can create his own space program. In KSP, you must build a space-worthy craft, capable of flying it's crew out into space, without killing them.At your disposal is a collection of parts, which must be assembled to create a functional ship. Each part has it's own function and will affect the way a ship flies (or doesn't).So strap yourself in, and get ready to try some Rocket Science!"


Numéro 4: Space Engineers
*****************************


"Space Engineers is a sandbox game about engineering, construction and maintenance of space works. Players build space ships and space stations of various sizes and utilization (civil and military), pilot ships and perform asteroid mining. Space Engineers utilizes a realistic volumetric-based physics engine: all objects can be assembled, disassembled, damaged and destroyed. Space Engineers is in alpha stage of development and is available on Steam Early Access. Everything in the game is subject to change."


Numéro 5: Stanley Parable
**************************


"The Stanley Parable is a simple game about storytelling. You will be told a story and then you will be asked to make a choice, except that the choice will not matter. No, sorry, my mistake, the choice matters a great deal. Or maybe...is it that the story doesn't matter? Wait, let me check my notes...

Yes, it says right here. “The Stanley Parable: A simple game about story that makes perfect sense.” Surely that's what it is. I hope. Oh good god I hope that's what The Stanley Parable is. It's just that sometimes I'm so confused, I'm so lost...what is this game? I just want to understand. I don't want to feel alone. Please...can you help me understand what's going on?

The Stanley Parable will be released on Steam for Mac and PC in October 2013"

Spoiler:

Garywiss : Ce jeu est bien, ce jeu n'est pas bien. Le gameplay est interressant, le gameplay est nul. L'histoire est genial, l'histoire est nul. Pandaragon : Un jeu indépendant, où l'on incarne Stanley. Stanley qui travaille dans des bureaux et dans lesquels un jour, il n'y a plus personne. Il décide donc d'en sortir. Et c'est là que l'histoire commence. Vous pouvez choisir, choisir de suivre l'histoire que le narrateur conte ou choisir de ne pas l'écouter. Mais celui-ci essayera toujours de vous faire aller dans une direction. Et vous aurez le choix. Et ces choix permettent d'arriver à plusieurs fin différentes. C'est un jeu interessant par son histoire et son humour, qui est conseillé pour qui aime les deux.

Numéro 6: Into the Dark
**************************


""You`re Peter "Pete" O`Brannon, a Private Eye. Sounds faszinating? It isn`t, trust me - unless you find it exciting to hunt down cheating husbands and lost dogs while living of cheap Chinese food in shabby motels. THAT would be what Petes job is all about - but luckily for him, he has a good customer paying his bills. It`s GlobalSecure Inc., one of the biggest insurance companies on the East Coast. More exactely, it`s Samantha "Sam" Miller who runs their investigation departement on insurance fraud. She`s tough, she`s intelligent, she`s better than Pete. By far better. But due to the companies Code of Conduct and some very nasty ethic rules, she`s prevented from taking, erm, "semi-legal" steps to gain essential information and proofs. That`s where Pete steps in - for 500 bucks per day + expenses + a nice 20% share of the money the company saves with whatever Pete finds out."


Numéro 7: Path of Exile
************************


"Exiled. Abandoned to fate in some God-forsaken land. The path you walk is a razors edge, where death awaits your first misstep. Enemies claw at you, gnashing their teeth or calling forth dark, demonic magics; at least one thing is certain: you will not go quietly, you will not die alone. Path of Exile is a gritty, new Action Role Playing Game from New Zealand based studio, Grinding Gear Games. Path of Exile combines bone-shattering, monster-slaying action with in-depth character customization.

Players can pick from six playable character classes, which each focus on either one or two core attributes: Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence.
Active skills are gained in the form of levelable gems and passive skills are chosen from a huge, shared skill tree with over 1300 nodes.
Randomly generated items and world areas guarantee that no journey is the same; and fast-paced PvP action lets you cooperate with, or conquer, players from all over the world. Path of Exile is completely free and never "Pay-to-Win"."

	Garywiss : Vous aimez les hack'n'slash, les diablo like, si vous ne voulez pas jouer à cette bouse qu'est diablo 3 et que vous n'avez pas assez d'argent pour vous prendre Torchlight 2, alors Path Of Exile est ce qu'il vous faut ! Un excellent Hack'n'slash Mmo qui est totalement gratuit.

Numéro 9: Outlast
*****************


"In the remote mountains of Colorado, horrors wait inside Mount Massive Asylum. A long-abandoned home for the mentally ill, recently re-opened by the “research and charity” branch of the transnational Murkoff Corporation, has been operating in strict secrecy… until now.

Acting on a tip from an inside source, independent journalist Miles Upshur breaks into the facility, and what he discovers walks a terrifying line between science and religion, nature and something else entirely. Once inside, his only hope of escape lies with the terrible truth at the heart of Mount Massive.

Released on Steam.
Store.steampowered.com

This was created by a series of professional developers from various triple A studio's, who where sick of playing triple A horror games that "play it safe", that hold the players hand and allow players to kill monsters by the bucketload like some kind action game. Outlast will feature evasion based, horror gameplay. You can't fight off the horrors that lie within the Aslyum. You must run, hide... or die."

Spoiler:
	Papounetman : Tu es un journaliste indépendant qui enquête sur un bâtiment désafecté où il présume qu'il s'y passe / s'y est passé des choses pas très nettes. Et c'est complètement CREEPY. C'est un "semi" jeu d'horreur C'est glauque, c'est sanglant, c'est effrayant. Durée de vie assez faible mais très bonne histoire, mise en ambiance, gameplay.

Numéro 10: Rogue Legacy
***********************


"Rogue Legacy is a 2D platforming genealogical roguelite where anyone can be a hero. You must traverse a procedurally-generated castle to uncover the secrets of your cursed heritage. You have only one chance though, as there is no redemption from death. Fortunately your lineage spawns like bunny rabbits, and there are plenty of successors willing to pick up the sword. Unfortunately genetics aren't a perfect science, resulting in children who suffer from a variety of different traits, such as blindness, dyslexia, and even irritable bowels syndrome. Do you have what it takes to uncover your family's history and redeem its honor?"


Avis de membres:

Spoiler:

Garywiss : Vous aimez souffir? Ce jeu est fait pour vous ! Vous n'aimez pas ça ? Ce jeu est aussi fait pour vous ! Un excellent Rogue Like/Platformer/Randomvania où la mort est tout sauf punitif, qui va vous rendre addict. Pandaragon : Un jeu indépendant, qui lie les plateformes et le combat. Le but étant de faire le tour d'un chateau pour pouvoir y retrouver le traitre qui a tué le roi. Pour cela il faudra passer par des salles piégées, des salles remplies de monstres, les deux en même temps ou encore des salles vides. Vous êtes seul... enfin presque. A chaque fois que vous aller mourrir c'est un de vos trois enfants qui prendra le relais, enfants qui sont tous différents de par leurs classes et leurs traits de caractères. Vous pourrez dépenser une fois morts l'or accumulé pour acheté des améliorations de statistique ou un forgeron, une enchanteresse et un architecte. L'aventure est difficile, mais aussi renouvelable. Le new game + offre plus de challenge, ainsi que le new game +2 etc. Un bon jeu si vous aimez souffrir et rager si cela fait partie de votre caractère.
