Hello Indie Game Fan Reader!

A few more days for the The Steam Summer Sale 2025! Get the deals while you can! (If you're up for it, feel free to let me know what you got by replying directly to this email).

​

Rough week for the industry so my heart goes out to all affected, video games does seem like a shitty business to be in, especially at bigger companies where you are but a number on a spreadsheet, but who know, that might just spark a new wave of indie developers...

​

On a personal note, I'm deep in it right now, not a great week overall but we can only move forward, no matter how slow it feels. Thank you for those who reached out with your kind messages.👊

​

🍂The Best Indie Games Fall Showcase is planned for September!🍂
More details soon
