rewards for high scores(items that boost stats)

I am of the opinion that high scores should be rewarded only with vanity items which change your character's look. Especially in player vs player, where a newbie already has quite a disadvantage. I do not see any sense in giving those who already excell the most an advantage against future opponents.

One word, "Titles"!!! Prolly won't sound any bells for you but gosh I was so proud when obtained Scarab Lord title

sry, my wording was poor, i fixed it

i think people should be able to get bonus items through playing, meaybe reaching new levels. but not always. maybe if their were a ranking system for mp , the first ten ranks you can choose rewards, but theres a amx of 50 ranks, so you arent always screwed

point is - reward players with some sorts of items, dont hurt new ones though

amazing idea

slipped my mind. i have played wow and titles are a fun way to get recognition

ps, part of me doesnt believe you got it haha. pics?

Riiight, if proof is what you want, the proof is what you get.

music.  I find the XNA games I tend to come back and play again are the ones with good music.  (like put two generic shooters next to each other.    I play the one with better music 90% of the time.  I'd give examples, but the unexciting counter parts are the ones I don't remember the names.   Stardust HD is a good example of music.... I can't think of any of the counterpart names (except geometry wars, but that too has good music))

I look for Savage

I liked about world of goo (my fave indie game) and Braid (which I didnt like as much but still thought was kinda cool):

Epic Music ( I actually think this is very important for indie games, anything with a cello is a good way to go)

*A simple but well implimented concept (world of goo wtfpwned in this respect) You arent a dev team: give us something small but well polished.....*

A sense of humour.

Literary/movie references or something to make rthe player smile if he/she works them out

If you have a story don't do a Braid and make it poorly punctuated, Nebulous and removed from the gameplay..... That really pissed me off!

*THIS IS THE ONE THAT MATTERS

If you haven't already done so please play world of goo to see the best indie game I think I've played..... It's literally just a physics engine with a nice skin, but it's still great.

Incidently im serious about the music: I cant think of one indie game I've enjoyed without good music (audiosurf wins here as you play your own music!) Make sure it fits the mood of the game and isn't just something you think is good, because people have widely varying taste.

i havent thought about music yet, good idea

would most people prefer mutliplayer? i feel like a good single player indie game is cheap enough to have only single player, and vice versa

i personally as fine with either, but i think mp is how to keep people playing.even if there is single player, there needs to be some sort of way to compete with others

I'm waiting for Age of Decadence, by Iron Tower Studios.

A very promising hardcore RPG.

EDIT: my bad, at a better read looks like I completely misunderstand the thread.

Well some good lore, would be cool.
