Roguelikes

Cataclysm DDA - you're a survivor of an "everything apocalypse" in this free game of survival. Will you survive? Well, with the way I play it's more of a game about how to die.

Delve - Delve is a hobby RPG Dana works on for fun. Direct inspirations include nethack, various flavours of Angband, brogue, and more.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup - DCSS is an open source roguelike adventure through dungeons filled with dangerous monsters. You're on a quest to find the "Orb of Zot" - or if you're like me, you're on a quest to live beyond level 6.

Brogue CE (Community Edition) - BrogueCE is a community lead fork of the beloved minimalist roguelike game Brogue. Brogue CE includes many enhancements and bugfixes that improve the game beyond what the original Brogue offered.

Retro Indie cRPGs

Schmidt Workshops - The Great Abyss Cyclopean, and Cyclopean are 2 monochromatic old school RPGs with cosmic horror elements.

Chronicles IV: Ebonheim - a classic dungeon-crawling cRPG with characterbuilding & turn-based combat.

Briley Witch Chronicles 2 - a jRPG inspired game for the C64 inspired by the Briley Witch series of novels.

Retro Game News

Indie Retro News - a news site that specializes in both indie and retro games.

Game Development Tools

Godot - an open source game engine many indies use to create 2D and 3D games. As a solo dev, I find it a bit easier to use than Unity & Unreal.
