Kymothy ⋅ Zigarot

~Introduction~ Hi! I'm Kym - I go by Zigarot professionally. I'm an Australian gaming enthusiast, streamer, and wannabe indie-games journalist. I'm into self-hosting, Indie gaming (ANZ especially), I love to learn, and I prefer to promote positivity - generally via live-streams and videos.

Today I went out to find a pair of dress pants at the shops and then events unfolded in what I can only describe as a whirlwind adventure where I was Cinderella and the retail assistant was the fairy godmother, whisking me around and within 30 minutes I had an entire outfit.

Well, I best buy and stream this game elsewhere then, not that I would ever buy a game on epic ever again (satisfactory early access was my last). They did my boy unreal and unreal tournament dirty, and my sanctum first person tower defense spiritual successor w/zombies "fortnite" never left beta.

New links functionality is snazzy. Me like.

Bumper Bout is out in THREE DAYS so I did the uncomfortable thing of filming myself. 😭 #indiegame #indiedev #SteamGame #SteamNextFest

Quality horror, please check this one out! It ain't their first rodeo and it won't be their last, mark my words.

Looks like I know what I'll be doing while everyone else is Glazing That AAA

On the day the world celebrates one of the biggest games ever made, we're celebrating the little ones. The Pyramid launches for FREE November 19, 2026 on Steam. Our love letter to indie games and roguelikes. 3000+ handmade challenges, 150+ games. Wishlist on Steam ⬇️

I like making jambalaya. You want some?

Acceptance of neurological differences and issues.

My indie picks from pax are up on Qualbert now. Let me know which ones caught your eye. www.qualbert.com/top-10-indie...

Bumper Bout has a hugely extended demo that's OUT NOW as part of #SteamNextFest! It's PvP pinball that let's you attack each other like a fighting game! There's unique stages and every character has an ult! If you try it I'd love to hear what you think! Thank you! ❤️ #indiegame #indiedev #gamedemo

Our one and only @birdmagician.com has created a new version of the Steam capsule art. The last version combines the original color palette and fogy atmosphere with the last capsule's detailed background. We're gradually getting to the atmosphere we wanted to capture. #Steam #Capsuleart #Gamedev

live now @ twitch.tv/zigarot talking to screenqueensland developers about their epic games!

not but seriously this is a pretty unique thing in streaming - A big thanks to Screen Queensland for answering my pestering! I like supporting locals, and they were happy for me to come in and play some of their cohort's games in the office. Please and thank you tune into twitch.tv/zigarot tomorrow!

Yep. Monday, at Midday AEST (GMT+10) We'll be live on twitch.tv/zigarot - I'm heading down to the Games Residency office to stream a few games for a few hours! You like Pax? you like games showcases? Come join us and see some of Queenslands finest artistic minds and games!

Wake up, babes. New Space Whale just dropped. Massive congratulations to CODE-supported Balancing Monkey Games on this production.

Proud to be an OG cont. member. I was subbed to Atomic Mag until it's dying day, and now a new chapter in (Australian) physical gaming reading is upon me. Found out today this is also a proper journalistic APWOT inspired system. Articles are meaty and relevant! It's so good!

Now Listen up... #wardogs I will be insufferable.

Once again I'm back to yell into the void: CREATORS PUT YOUR EMAIL IN YOUR BIO

Indie games are just the coolest. I'll be streaming this one.

I have something real cool coming up on Monday, I need all my indie gaming people to spread the word. Lets just say that before steams nextfest, we are doing a little test fest of own - Feat. some of QLDs up and coming Legends. I'll have a proper post soon.

I'm incredibly stoked, about to talk to a bunch of game devs at an incubator.

Thank you @pcgamer.com!!✨ www.pcgamer.com/games/pvp-pi... #indiegame #indiedev #solodev

Hey, if you are looking to find a list of All the indies for PAX Aus 2026 (it's hard to keep track!), Renee O'flynn has done an epic list here

Honey, wake up, new song by the The Triple-i Initiative just dropped and it's a banger. music.youtube.com/wa...

I played this game on the couch with my fiance, the love of my life. This game was written for me. I made sure this was a spoiler-free review BTW, if you've seen the trailer.

How did I sleep on this? Effin Montaigne? The legend? The streamer? The fish?

Deserved. What a fantastic game.

my beloved decided she wanted to stream, she's doing cozy stuff, sorting through some buttons she found at the op shop, stop by and say hi if you like crafty strums - www.twitch.tv/thatmisssea

I've already nominated Crabmeat.

Just quietly, what level of interest would you have, if I went over to a games incubator, and sat down with a bunch of cool local devs, and played their demos, which may or may not be publicly available, and we streamed this whole thing as one big demo showreel?

This is a meaty demo. I love slay the spire 2 co-op with buddies, but hellcard 2 is next level - best co-op deckbuilder I've played - it's top tier with 2-4 players. And then you learn about the secrets hidden in the levels. I'm keen for the full release. Grab a mate or 3 and try it!

Single or Co-op roguelike deckbuilding, anyone? If you enjoy StS & Across the Obelisk, give Hellcard II a try! #indiegames #demo

If you are an Indie that is attending Pax AUS Rising this year, can you shout out your game here so I can add it to my list? I'm not doing videos this year, but I'm still doing a list

I played a bunch of aliens fireteam elite 2, and it had fun gameplay! Unfortunately, it had a lot of issues - not including the story+cast, which were very interesting choices

I always liked chilling here between bouts of energy.
