When people think of GDC, they usually think of cutting-edge technology put on display by the industry’s leading companies. Or inspirational and thought-provoking panels from the greatest minds in game development. And while GDC 2015 definitely had all of those things, it’s worth mentioning that the indie development scene is just as active here as it is at any PAX or Indiecade, albeit with an added layer of true dedication and professionalism that you won’t find elsewhere.
Since there were so many great games to see and play this week that were all in various different stages of development, I couldn’t rank them in any particular order. Instead, I’ve just collected 10 of the most awesome games that I played for your eye holes to feast upon. Consider this my “Greatest Hits of Indies at GDC,” or perhaps my “Hey, I Actually Remembered These Games After Playing Them for a Few Minutes” list.
GD365: "The official Steam key retailer Fanatical is back with another bundle. The Fanatical Mega Bundle 2 launched today with 20 indie games for $2.99. No, that’s not a typo!"

This was a really great piece. Thanks for sharing that story! As someone who has a massive backlog, this kind of inspired me to finally get cracking on it. The way the writer laid out the ground rules is something I'll prob use to make a dent in my backlog.
Also, the personal bits of the story were very heartfelt. Much appreciate to the author!
Wow, I’m going through the exact same struggle. Maybe I should set a resolution to get through my backlog...or at least a good chunk of it (my backlog is probably too massive to get through in my lifetime).
Fanatical has unveiled its exclusive Vengeance Bundle and it’s a great opportunity to pick up a bunch of great Steam games you may have missed. From today you can save 97% off the normal retail price and get your hands on seven new-to-bundle Steam games featuring popular genres such as strategy, action and RPG.
Looks like a ton of great PC indie games are definitely in the works. Hopefully most of these also come to both the PS4 and Xbox One too.
Good list. I'm just surprised Cuphead didn't make it. From what I've been reading it generated a lot of interest at GDC.
