Indie Game Origin

Hey friends! We’ve been taking an extended break from games, reviews, and news. I got really burnt out this last year and am trying to find my rhythm again while having family and rest time Not sure what that means for IGO yet but I’m still lurking on new games 👀

This week in indies comes the next in my pile of games to be bad at and inspired by: Selini. A wordless metroidvania #metroidvania #indiegames #whattoplay #gaming

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

I have had good luck with these launch platforms. They offer decent backlinks: producthunt .com startupfa .me fazier .com uneed .best peerpush .net tinylaun .com ramen .tools firsto .co microlaunch .net No idea why, but icons on peerpush looks the best. #buildinpublic

The first hotfix for the game is now live, and it addresses some of the most troubling issues you’ve reported to us, including the legibility of the subtitles. steamcommunity.com/games/163127...

Do we need a title for in between indie and AAA? I don’t think AA is doing it. Many teams with a huge budget are lapping up indie game award titles. How can solo devs or tiny teams compete?? #indiegames #aa
