Monday nights, 6PM, at Awesome Inc., we meet up to expose ourselves to indie games. C’mon out and look at how small game designers are pushing the medium, or bring something we can play!

This Indie Game Night, we discussed Icarus Proudbottom Teaches Typing

Icarus Proudbottom Teaches Typing

Created for a 30 day Something Awful game jam, Icarus Proudbottom Teaches Typing is a typing game with a great deal of polish and what was termed in the meeting as “Adult Swim” humor. The game features three main characters, Icarus Proudbottom, an owlet, and Mr. Filcure. It plays on a lot of different game conventions, while maintaining it’s sense of humor and polish.

The game is available here and can be completed in a single sitting. It also features a speed run mode, but we didn’t play around much with that.

Grow Games

While we predominately discussed a single “grow game,” there are several different varieties. A lot of games focus on the force of destruction (shooters, for example). Grow Games primary purpose is creation and a sort of contained exploration.

Grow games are available here

As always, feel free to come out and join us for the next indie game night next Monday at 6pm at Awesome Inc!
