Let's talk indie games! Hello indie gaming friends!Hope you've all had a great start to the year and managed to tackle some of that ever-growing game backlog! I've been a bit out of the loop after going on holiday in January - As well as playing quite a bit of Infinity Nikki - So, I’m excited to dive back in and see what’s been happening in the indie gaming world. Recently I've been playing... Dungeons of Hinterberg The first thing I noticed about Dungeons of Hinterberg was the art style. I...

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie gaming friends!I've been chatting to you for one year now! I hope I've been able to help you find a new favourite in 2024. If so, I'd love to know what it was! Reply and let me know. I'd also love to know what you think of the newsletter. One thing I've been wondering is when in the month is best to send it out. Would you prefer to see upcoming new releases so you can add them to your wishlist or learn about the games that released in that month, so you can...

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie gaming friends!October was a pretty relaxed gaming month for me. I am part of two monthly gaming clubs, Geeks and Grounds and The Cozy Gaming Club (Discord link), but for October I wasn't playing either of their games. One I wasn't interested in (Signalis - let me know if you think I should play it) and the other I've already played (Night in the Woods), so this meant I was free to play whatever I liked. As I'm sure you know, sometimes making a decision...

Let's talk indie games! G'day indie game fans!Did you know I'm Australian? No? I'm Australian! We have a small, but mighty game industry and this week is Melbourne International Games Week, which celebrates all things Australian gaming. It also happens to include PAX AUS. The ultimate celebration of games! Like many of you (I'm assuming), I'm not enjoying the fun in Melbourne this week, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun too! Instead of sharing new releases this month, I thought I'd...

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie game fans!Have you seen the Steam Summer Sale?! I'm sure we all have. Over the weekend I made the mistake of checking out my Steam wishlist to see what was on sale. It felt like everything was on sale and I got a bit of decision paralysis. So, I thought for this month I'd focus on games I love that are currently discounted on Steam, and hopefully you'll find something new to love! Which brings me to my favourite game of last month! Recently I've been...

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie game fans!I'm dragging myself away from Stardew Valley to bring you this months email. I hadn't played it in five years, and now it's all I've played in the last week (or more). There is just so much more to do and find since I last played! Another Crab's Treasure has been calling but Stardew continues to win the battle. I plan on marrying Harvey, just in case you wanted to know. I've never married him before because, well, he just seems a bit dull....

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie game fans!March has only just begun, but it's looking like a huge month for indie game releases! It was incredibly difficult to choose only three, but these are the ones I'm looking forward to the most. As for last month, I've been struggling with a shoulder injury which unfortunately starts to ache when playing games with keyboard and mouse. Luckily, I have a controller, but of course I was drawn to games that prefer keyboard and mouse like A Little to the...

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie game fans!This newsletter is a bit late! That's because I decided to include some Steam Next Fest demos for you to check out in case you're completely overwhelmed. There are so many of them! More than 1000 I hear. Usually, I recommend story rich demos, but this time it's been different. I've been drawn to sims and platformers. What have been your favourites from the festival? Not everything has been Next Fest, though. So what else have I been playing?...

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie game fans!Wow! 2023 was a landmark year for indie games, bursting with extraordinary game releases almost daily! That's why I'm going to discuss my top 3 games of 2023 instead of the January new releases. There aren't many coming up anyway, so that makes it an easy choice. I am looking forward to Turnip Boy Robs a Bank on the 18th, though. When deciding my top 3 I had to go back and work out what games were released in 2023, because I was struggling to...
