Cradle Song is a collaborative visual novel project by Dischan. At its core, this is an independently produced interactive story, which allows players to make choices for the character and change the storyline.
Cradle Song takes place in a desolate world. A world that has slowly deteriorated over hundreds of years.
But Nathan has no idea about that. His life revolves around trudging to school, listening to lectures, and walking home after having failed to ask Ciri out once again.
Many people live this way: hidden within Virtual Realities and completely unaware of the world outside… though they aren’t there by choice.

Max K. Lambert, an indie game developer, has released a trailer for Americana Dawn, an upcoming RPG set in 18th-century America during the French and Indian War and the American Revolution.
This is clearly inspired by Konami’s Suikoden series. The graphics are pretty basic, but the theme is fun. Americana Dawn offers turn-based battles and overhead-view exploration sequences, with a focus on historical accuracy. Players will also engage in large-scale encounters that require strategy, along with one-on-one duels inspired by Monkey Island’s famed insult swordfighting system.

Vessel is created by the indie developers at Strange Loop Games. Here’s a video I recorded showing how you use liquid automatons to solve puzzles in Vessel. Vessel launches March 1st on PC, available on Steam.
Strange Loop’s goal is to create games that use the massive power of today’s video-game hardware for gameplay, not just graphics. They aim to use deep, interactive simulations to create gameplay that wouldn’t be possible on hardware five or ten years ago, exploring the boundaries of what can be done within a game.

Heaven Variant is a horizontal, non-bullet-hell shoot ‘em up! This is preview of what the team has been up to. It’s still a work-in-progress, so you’ll have to forgive any glitches or hiccups you might notice.
Zanrai is a loveable gaggle of game developers. Right now it’s just a three man team.
Here’s what Zanrai has to say…
HEAVEN VARIANT is an indie side-scrolling action game under development for PC by Zanrai Interactive, a very small band (or rather gang) of developers headquartered in Dallas, Texas, USA. The game is a modernized throwback to the golden age of 2D action games, and the game’s presentation and musical style is heavily influenced by classic shooters and animation of the 1980′s and 90′s. The title will be released digitally. Technical jargon ahead: HEAVEN VARIANT is not a hori bullet hell shooter and with regard to genre sides closer to the arcade/action-shooter from yesteryear.Read more…The Splatters by SpikySnail
