I remember playing The Frozen World a year or so back when I was more active in the RPGmaker community but never getting too far into it. If you haven't already, I think you should check out a little gem of a game called The Sword Of Jade. Great list..ABL, DD, and Cave Story are the best.

Don't think we'll be getting ABL 3.0 anytime soon, if ever. A damn shame, it's a beautiful (not graphics wise obviously) game.

I sold my computer - but he still sits on my shelf, along with a papercraft Phoenix Wright :) Apparently Pixel's working on an RPG. I'm ever so excited about it! :)

I'm posting because I think it's interesting that you specifically say you prefer indie games to the rest. I'm writing an article for the Phoenix (thephoenix.com) about indie games, featuring a few favorites of mine and arguing for artistry in games. You seem pretty hardcore. I'd like to hear what you have to say about the indie scene. mmyers@phx.com, if you want to give me a quote.

Once you get used to it, it's a million times easier to navigate with the semi-on-rails controls than it is to navigate any free-movement FPS or similar shooter with a controller. It'll all make sense soon... Well not really any kind of 'sense' we're used to (it's very surreal), but soon you won't be able to put it down. ;) I actually think the first level is the weakest one, it gets much more interesting past that. In fact, I'd say it's one of the few games that gets increasingly better as it progresses... Just stick with it, that's all I can say. If you don't hate it right away you'll probably grow to love it. ~Josiah You’ll think that at first, but later on you’ll see that free movement wouldn’t really be the same.

It's certainly... "unique". Heh. I don't know where to start. Well, at random, what's with the control scheme? X to walk forward, triangle to change direction? Wouldn't it have been so much easier (and probably more fun) to just allow full movement? I'll guess I'll just have to see how that develops. I don't quite get what's going on so far with the different characters and the whole blood thing, but then I haven't got very far yet (just as far as the car with Travis in it, and the bullet in the boot).
