Hello Indie Game Fan Reader!

Summer Game Mess + Steam Next Fest meant a whole bunch of games were newly announced (click), shown off and had demos, so understandably so, my videos were focused on those, but that did also mean a massive week of new releases with more than 50 titles of interest.

​

The Steam Summer Sale will start on the coming Thursday, traditionally the biggest sale event of the year, so save your wallets till then!

​

It's been a rough week for me, work related messes which has seen me sleeping an average of 5 hours a night (not great), but I just have to push though and work towards things getting better.
