Free Games

[Koobazaur]

Haha interesting interpretation The filename (free from OpenGameArt.org) for the main char is "Grue" so I guess that's what it actually is. And those are supposed to be fruits and not pumpkins but now I can't unsee pumpkins, damn you ;p What made you think it is a "wasteland" tho?


(But I like the dichotomy of "idyllic wasteland" hmm!)

[Jubal]

Pumpkins are more or less fruit anyway! As to why it's a wasteland, partly the fact that it seems to be uncultivated/uninhabited and have mini zombie things roaming around it, I guess? Also possibly the fact that I've been sleep deprived all week and am not selecting words accurately any more.

[Koobazaur]

Oh, I wasn't criticizing your word choice at all, just genuinely curious. The whole reason I am making these experimental titles is to learn how players perceive my ideas and how to communicate my goals better So it's good to hear your impressions and rationale behind it!

I've been playing Anno online recently.

It's very addictive and the economy runs while you're offline.
And there are tons of different features.

I can recommend it.

And here's a review:

Hey folks, wanted to share my upcoming Free HTML5 experimental game project: GATHER you can now Follow On GameJolt!





Discover the world, lead your minions, learn their language, and harvest sacrifice for the Gods. Free isometric adventure and exploration game set in an esoteric land.


You control a Wraith sent to the idyllic land and must learn the rules of the world on your own. Powerless to affect the material realm, you must find arcane words to command and grow your minions, gather various items and discovering their use. The Krewski god demands sacrifice - but of what kind? And how will you appease them?






Release Date: End of July

Fantastic, this sounds great

[Koobazaur]

I'm beginning Beta testing this little thingy, so if anyone is interested shoot me a PM It's a small thing that takes like 15-20mins, so not a big investment. Lemme know!

[Jubal]

I've DLed a couple more games onto my tablet recently - I tend to play free android games in a way that I wouldn't often go for free stuff on PC (though most games I play on PC are also free, just I'm playing things in beta stages).

(Also this should prob be unpinned as the OP list thing is like seven years out of date?).

(Also this should prob be unpinned as the OP list thing is like seven years out of date?).

I agree.
This thread had more meaning back when free games weren't so common.

[Jubal]

Yes, indeed! It's such a different world now to where we were in '08.

I'm still modding RTW though

[Clockwork]

The absolutely phenomenal sci-fi epic Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty is free to play.


As RTS go, this one is legendary in it's vast ESports presence and it's engaging, slightly campy, low budget high production sci-fi story about a Texan beefcake looking to cure his love of an alien parasite. Without a doubt this tragic love story is one of the all time most iconic stories in gaming history and with good reason, fantastic performances from all actors and facial modelling and animation make even minority of gamers who loathe the gameplay slog through it to watch the epic unfold.


I can't recommend this enough, it's completely free so there's nothing to lose. If for some reason you hate love, stories, acting and camp tragedy then at the very least you now own the best RTS of the last 10 years.

Just started playing SC2 now its free. Gotta say, really good solid game and cant complain to completely free multiplayer acesss! Played first online game few days ago, and must say though it has a learning curb its hella fun.

[Clockwork]

I rarely play it online, only after I watch the pros, really


If you fancy a SC2 online game but with a lot of the macro taken out Totalbiscuit hired a dev team to make a multiplayer mod called Axiom which is all the blasting but with automated resource gathering and C&C style queued production.
