The lights are on
The stampede of compelling indie games continues unabated, with a number of games being shown for the first time at GDC, and other previously announced titles showing off new builds and assets. Just today, we showcased games like Fru, Wulverblade, Hyper Light Drifter, Habitat, and It Draws A Red Box. With each passing day, we’re seeing the growing power and breadth of independent game makers.
Which upcoming independent games are you following the most? Any titles that are already on your must-play list?

Does FTL: Advanced Edition count?
Because other than that, I seldom trust an indie game before release. I am excited for Shovel Knight and Mew Genics, though.
Hyper light drifter
Too many to count but Routine, Light Drifter, Nether, Dawn of Ronin, Path of Shadows, and the Repopulation are all on my list of titles I definitely want to grab.
Full Bore! I love this game! It was greenlit on Steam a few months ago and will release next month.
Super Time Force, Gone Home on consoles, Minecraft on Xbox One... Probably be in that order too without much thought.
No Man's Sky, Galak-Z, Shovel Knight, Super Time Force, Mercenary Kings, and now Hyper Light Drifter.
I'm sad that I have to play Super Time Force on my noisy-ass Xbox 360. I've been playing on my Wii U a lot lately, and finally decided to start tackling Arkham City last night. I had forgotten how dang loud that fan is.
Rime....
No Man's Sky!
Hyper Light Drifter.
Project Phoenix
Hyper Light Drifter has my love and admiration. It looks good, it sounds good. I think it's the only game I'll ever buy on day one.
Terraria II.
Absolutely love the first one and can't wait for the second.
Mercernary kings would be one of them to name a few. But for me personally all the indie game are spectacular. So I look forward to these with great anticipation.
SOMA and The Forest, whenever they decide to give a friggin release date.
Only one I can think of is Transistor. Based off what we saw from Bastion, it should be great!
Cloudbuilt, Blackwell Epiphany, and of course Hyper Light Drifter and Hotline Miami 2 (who *isn't* looking forward to those two!?)
Not sure if this applies completely, but No Man's Sky looks to be coolest thing.
Galak Z, Hyperlight Drifter, Mercenary Kings, and Firewatch.
