ATTENTION: thanks to derek, you can now change your vote (at least until the next time i edit the poll). take advantage of this period to change your vote if you want to change it. just put remove vote and vote again for your choices
because i believe it will revert to not allowing you to change your vote if i edit the poll, i will not add any more new nominations to the list for a short period -- say, 2 days. this will give people time to change their vote if they want to
okay, important: i've discovered that there is a limit of 126 items in this poll. and that when i add more than that number, some of them are randomly removed.
no new games may be added without removing old ones. any suggestions about what to do?
should i remove all games with 0 votes? should i just stop adding new games?
the plan for now: i'm going to remove all games with 0 votes (except for the most recent batch of games that was recently added or re-added). this will clear up some room for new games, temporarily (until the 126 limit is reached again). if you want me to add a game make sure you vote for it so that it won't be removed if nobody else votes for it; any game with 0 votes for more than a few days will be removed if nobody votes for it in that time period
it's unfortunate that i have to do it that way but i didn't know about the limit of 126 poll items

Please read:
1. If a game on this list is already released, tell me and I'll remove it. I didn't personally check them all, but relied on nominations.
2. If you want to vote for a game that isn't listed, reply in this thread (preferably with a link to the game) and I'll add it to the poll.
Do this before you vote, because you can't seem to change your votes even though I told it to allow people to change their votes.
3. You may vote for any number of these, you aren't limited to one or a few. Vote for those games which are you very interested in playing after they are released.
4. Some games on this list are arguably not indie, such as Journey (since Sony owns the rights to the games thatgamecompany makes). If you don't think a game is indie and don't think it should be on this list, just don't vote for it.
5. It's okay to reply just to say which games you're voted for, but also try to add something interesting to the post other than just the names of the games you voted for so as to cut down on clutter.
6. The order isn't in any particular order, mainly just the order that games were nominated in. I was too lazy to put them in alphabetical order; I'll probably do that next year though. EDIT: RenLNS did so for me, alphabetical list:
