I've just discovered Sang Froid - Tales of Werewolves. It's on flash sale right now at $5 and I'd definitely recommend it!
Other than that, I got Antichamber, which I'd also definitely recommend (you should probably wait to see if it goes on flash sale or daily deal before buying it full price).
Two of the best games available. Even when including games that aren't indies.I've purchased Bastion and Mark of the Ninja so far.
I already had most of the indie games I want before the sale. But I did pick up Primordia and Deadlight so far during the sale.
I already have most of the good older indies, but I did manage to pick up a few new ones during the steam summer sale. I got me:
SangFroid
Van Helsing
Dust: An Elysian Tail
The Swapper
Surgeon Simulator
Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army (Not sure indie title)
Today I am considering getting Monaco.
I picked up Bastion, Super Meat Boy, Legend of Grimrock, and Trine 1 & 2. I've played a little bit of each and all feel like they will be a lot of fun. I'm spending most of my game time on the Civ 5 expansion now though.
And a little something extra:
I'm very pleased with this haul of indie games. I've only purchased indie games this steam sale and they are all very good to great games.
- Don't Starve
- Dust: An Elysian Tail
- Magicka
- Dungeon Defenders
- Sanctum 2
- Terraria
- Cube World (not steam)
- Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
- Natural Selection 2
- Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army (relatively indie, :P)
And a little something extra:
- System Shock 2 (I wanted to replay it with texture mods)

I did Waking Mars this sale. Pretty cool game!
BTW Mark/Ninja, and Bastion are my 2 favorite Indie games so far.
The devs of Mark/Ninja are working on a turn-based tactical espionage game. (kinda like the new XCOM, or Shadowrun Returns) Looking forward to that. Its called Incognita.
The devs of Bastion are working on a new game cyberpunk looking game. For some reason I am not able to activate the synapses to the memory neurons that stores the name of the game in my brain at the moment, so apologies for that, but I bet someone will mention it, gently remind me.
mind if i ask how van helsing is? i greatly want itI already have most of the good older indies, but I did manage to pick up a few new ones during the steam summer sale. I got me:

This steam sale I got Cave Story, Hotline Miami, and Mark of the Ninja. Also, today I got the daily deal, Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams, which I believe is a indie title
I also bought the Giana Sisters game, as I think it looks well worth the $2.99. As far as Indie games during the actual "Summer Sale", well, if it counts as Indie, I got Infestation: Survivor Stories (War Z) for less than $4.00, but I haven't played it yet. After I bought it, I realized the Metacritic score is really bad, but I'll decide for myself whether it's worth playing.This steam sale I got Cave Story, Hotline Miami, and Mark of the Ninja.

Today I got Trine 1 and 2 for only $3.75 pretty good deal. I was excited to see those Ys games on sale but it did not seem like to great of one so I got Trine. Steam knows how to keep the sales rolling even after a big sale.
Dust: An Elysian Tail, but I got it right before the sale started, not that I mind.
Really nice soundtrack and the art is so pretty.
Listen to that soundtrack, so nice

I don't understand the term Indie Game, honestly. Does it make even a lick of difference if a game is independently published or published by a major corporation? Aside from the fact that the graphics and gameplay are generally consdiered bad or well below the average for indie games, that's not exactly a selling point. I don't really care how a game is published, all I want to know is if it's fun or not, does it look and feel amateur, is it overpriced? And to be honest, a lot of indie games are not fun, they look like shit and they are overpriced as Hell.SKaREOofc most indie games aren't good the ones that are good tend to be really good though

It isn't until the game becomes very popular that the developers start their own corporation to develop games. Indie developers are typically less competent than the geniuses that built this industry from the beginning.

Indie developers are typically less competent than the geniuses that built this industry from the beginning. Well they got to start somewhere as the "Geniuses" in the industry at one point will retire, it probably looks better if the next batch of people who enter the industry not only have the theory to show but can also present some of their work as a Indie Developer so to get a position within the larger and well known developer companies that are backed by a publisher. Sort of a " This is what I know and this is what I've made so far" to present aswell as who they are and how they can contribute and benefit in the workplace. That they earn some money off their games isn't too bad either.

Most indie games out there just seem extremely lazy. And lots use retro look to use nostalgia as a selling point. Most are crap.

Indie developers are typically less competent than the geniuses that built this industry from the beginning. Then the industry got bought out... ie: Trip Hawkings selling Electronic Arts, same with Lucasfilm and many other "studios." Man, you're just never going to see gaming like it was back in the 80s. I think one problem is that games are too complex now for some small group of genius' to develop. They just require too much leg work. Back in the 80s it was basically a programmer and marketer and maybe an artist or two. You just can't make a game like that of quality that is relative to what the big houses push out.
