Get Indie Gaming

I (naturally) wouldn't let him in the house with the rat he had brought home. Oh the malice in those eyes.

📣Calling all women and femme writers📣 I am looking to commission around 10 heartfelt essays surrounding video game criticism. If this sounds like something you are down to do them read on and I urge you to apply. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If anyone's able to help Andy, please get in touch.

Things have been pretty bleak since the new Queen came to power, but it seems like there's still some things to celebrate. What are the locals up to? Well Dweller launches September 22 for PC, Nintendo Switch (with Nintendo Switch 2 Edition), PS5, and XBOX Game Pass (supporting Play Anywhere)!

Now this looks delightful. store.steampowered.com/app/5067360/...

Day 3 at PAX West out in Seattle was full of kids discovering games and LOADS of chats with parents demonstrating family settings and controls. Lovely to have @kaitlynjones.bsky.social, Kirk Skye, Paul Bunda helping and demonstrating accessible gaming controllers. Come see us today, last chance.

Gamescom 2026

So many photos to go through. Absolutely incredible meeting Travellers I've only ever seen online. A night I won't soon forget. Y'all are the best. Truly. #NoMansSky #NoMansSkyMeetUp2026 #NMS10

Genuinely happy to be back covering indie games. Different landscape - a renewed love for it.

Today at gamescom we arrived to our station in the business area hall to discover that our two laptops had been stolen over night, despite the presence of Koelnmesse security. We ask that anyone who may have information about what happened to please reach out to us.

I've played fewer games of late than perhaps normal but a Big Walk is a 10/10 delight. No question my GOTY so far and I think plays at its best slowly and with contemplation. What a truly uplifting experience: store.steampowered.com/app/1478500/...

So tell me, Cairn, Mina and Big Walk, can anyone suggest anything I might have missed so far this year. It's been a while.

Not saying that game was stolen from Egypt but it is now on display at museum in London.

Extremely sad to think I'll never release another physical game for PlayStation. Releasing the physical versions of Animal Well was a huge motivator all throughout development. It really kills my desire to develop for the platform. I'm hoping they reverse this decision : (

20. Iconoclasts Yes, I keep recommending this game just about every Steam sale, no I probably won't stop. It's an action platformer with loads of puzzles, a fantastic soundtrack, some of the best pixelart ever, and a magnificent story with so many awesome characters, it's an all-timer indie gem.

We are super duper, extra hyped and excited to ANNOUNCE: We have signed another game! 🎉 Almost a year after signing our very first, we're keen to show you what's now cooking up for Q1 2027. Bsky, I introduce: Abelina

Three years late but dear goodness what a video. One of those, why didn't I think of that kind of thing. Via Mall Grab. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVmU...

Have you, like me, spent the last 26 years worrying if the Canadian Potato Museum STILL has the display of various potato diseases with potatoes in little coffins? Stop worrying. I checked today. Still there.

Bank holiday in the UK = The Sound of Music. The best bits....

Found this again. The time I created the aircraft noise use in the Airplane movie. Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home…

IT'S TIME! We're setting up for our PAX East Family Gaming room. If you have an indie game, or know someone making one, on Switch or PlayStation, we'd love to get it in front of the 1000s of families who visit our room. Just needs to be PEGI 12 or ESRB Teen or younger. Share's welcome, DMs open.

My boy Milo wishes you the best of health. Cheers! Just look at those boots!

My old alter ego featured in BBC Introducing a few weeks ago was the highlight of the year. More of that to follow in '26.

10 years ago today I started Get Indie Gaming while sitting in the departure lounge at Heathrow. For the most part, the project has run its course. I’ve shifted creatively back towards making EDM and performing live. Tonight sees a track of mine played out on the BBC....

Damn that was one heck of a gig.

For the European + British crowd, we started a "we've been working in video games for too long" podcast!

Raji: An Ancient Epic is such a wonderful action platform from 2020. Beyond stoked to see a sequel in the works. If that teaser at the end of the show piqued your interest, I cannot recommend the original enough; especially for only $6.24 right now.
