Hello Indie Game Fan!

It was a fun week of releases and news, with the usual ebb and flow of content on the channel, where I did pull back a little this week with just 3 videos but I hope you watched them since there are some great games there.

I'm experimenting with a different type of video, hopefully to be out next week so keep your eyes peeled, with a good weeks of releases coming up before we buckle down for the Steam Next Festival.
