Hello Indie Game Fan Reader!

Another trip around the sun, so as is tradition, here's a look at the best upcoming games in my favorite art style!

​

I had a bit of a quieter birthday, a day out with the kiddo, a nice meal or two and some cake of course, with birthdays always being a good time to rest and reflect.

​

It's been a crazy busy year (too many games to cover but I'm trying!) and things show no signs of slowing down, where I'm still trying to find ways to dial things in to provide the best kind of indie game coverage for you, so please, if you want to see anything, do let me know by directly replying to this email.

​

Things are going well for me but I'm tired, too many things pulling me in so many directions, and though all the podcasts and books that I've found myself drawn to this year, the key thing is focus, Essentialism if you will. Still a work in progress of course, so let's see how I get on.

​Berserk B.I.T.S - From the creator of Berserk Boy comes this AutoBattler Idle RPG which lives on your desktop, as your Battle Intelligent Teammate (B.I.T) fights viruses, levels up, and collects powerful chips in real time while you go about your day, browsing the internet, doing work or checking emails.

​

Inspired by Mega Man Battle Network, Digimon Digivices, and Tamagotchi, this has a retro charm to it mixed in with modern mechanics.

​

• Collect and equip over 100 battle chips, used to create decks of skills, attacks, and buffs that your B.I.T uses in combat.
• Customize your companion with your own pixel art
• Upgrade your base with decorative items
• Unravel a full story campaign filled with side quests, boss fights, and a growing cyber threat.

​

The game is out now and has been doing impressive numbers, so take advantage of the 10% launch discount and buy it today!
