Hello Indie Game Fan Reader!

My Summer Showcase went live with over 200 indie games of interest, to watch the replay and check out the Steam event page to wishlist those of interest.

A ton of summer showcases went live as well, so coverage on all the games that piqued my interest are to come, with, notable, a troll during Summer Game Fest, which does seem kind of mean, but we do still have the Xbox showcase going live at the time this newsletter goes out, so we can hope.

It's the Steam Next Fest next week, so new releases are a bit thinner than usual, but expect THOUSANDS of demos of upcoming games, with of course, my recommendations to come as well.
