Hello Indie Game Fan Reader!

It's been a rough week for game developers with hundreds of people losing their jobs, and there are anecdotal reports stating that it's not easy to get a new one, or even to break into the industry, so it's a miracle that we are even getting new games which I'm thankful for.

I took a look at upcoming pixel art games which I think look especially good, with more previews upcoming up next week.

Oh yeah, and there was also this little anniversary, so thank you for the support!
