Hello Indie Game Fan!

Woof. It felt like an excruciatingly long week for me, where stuff happened and things don't always go to plan eh? I'll be looking to pick myself up and dust myself off next week to keep going.

Next week will mark 9 years of me being on YouTube, and honestly, I do have a lot to be thankful for, so if you're reading this, no matter when you came across my stuff, thank you for the bottom of my heart and I hope to continue to be a helpful resource for your to discover the best indie games.

On a lighter note, I've deiced to try out Audiobooks this week, despite being a rather stubborn paper book reader, and does flow nicely with my podcast habit. I'm using the Libby app in conjunction with borrowing audiobooks from my Library, so if you have something similar, do give it a shot.

On the listening list this week

Discipline Is Destiny: The Power of Self-Control - Some good ol' Stoicism to get you through the week

MOX - I'm not really a biography guy (yet) so I thought I'll go the more entertainment route with one of pro wrestling's finest.

Best Indie Games Summer Showcase will be returning this year, Tuesday, June 3rd 2025, 8AM Pacific! Indie developers apply here

Best Indie Games Newsletter By Clement • 27 April 2025 Hello Indie Game Fan Reader! This week saw the shadow drop of the long rumored Oblivion Remaster, which has absolutely taken over the conversation this week (to the detriment of some indie games) and seems like it is doing justice to the game, but unfortunately might explain exactly why we are getting so many remakes and remasters instead of new titles. Meanwhile, a turn based JRPG from a 30ish person French team is now the best rated...

Best Indie Games Newsletter By Clement • 20 April 2025 Hello Indie Game Fan! Indie games continue to chug along with an interesting week of releases, such as Erenshor, Chains of Freedom, White Knuckle and the early releases of Tempest Rising, representing quite the range which is why I love indie games! Managed to get 3 videos up on the channel, despite having a busy week in terms of personal life commitments, so I'll take the small wins where I can get them! Best Indie Games Summer Showcase...

Best Indie Games Newsletter By Clement • 13 April 2025 Hello Indie Game Fan! Relative to last week's Switch 2 Direct, it was a relatively muted week with nothing too crazy happening, with Blue Prince and Crashlands 2 really standing out for new releases, along with the Triple-i showcase and the regular news. My output has not been there as of late, I too have my struggles with sitting down to get work done, so if you are as well, you're not alone! Maybe next week will be better Best Indie...
