I got to go on a Big Walk with @finruin.bsky.social and @itsmike.town and it was truly whimsical.

Planet of Lana lures me in with promises of secrets and the adorable Mui.

I went for a titular Big Walk™️ House House is crafting such impressive experience that guarantees huge smiles and “ah-ha!” moments. Much love to my fellow Big Walkers™️ @finruin.bsky.social and @ohmymithrandir.bsky.social 🚶

Cheers to my Big Walk Buddies @ohmymithrandir.bsky.social and @itsmike.town!

House House's new title may not have a goose, but I endeavored to create just as much mischief. My Big Walk preview was smooth, silly, engaging, and just what I was hoping for.

FISHBOWL 💜 APRIL 2! 💜 Steam and PS5 It feels surreal to know that five years ago, in April 2021, the two of us started making Fishbowl. Even more surreal that five years later, it is going to be in your hands. Mark your calendars for April 2nd and wishlist Fishbowl 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Ratcheteer DX really made me sit with an idea I’ve long pondered about video games: Where’s the line between inspiration and imitation?

Do you think I can put another 100 hours into Blue Prince on the Switch before Mixtape drops in May...while also getting lost in Rotwood and Minishoot' Adventures?

Today's Indie World gave Nintendo's indie fans a lot to be excited about. Check out all the trailers and news:

Today's Nintendo Indie World Showcase featured plenty of announcements, from release dates, game reveals, new demos, shadow drops, and more! Here's everything announced during the presentation: gameinformer.com/indie-world/...

This week (and month) is ridiculously packed. I’ve spent 6+ hours playing the Esoteric Ebb demo and the first Slay The Spire is an all-time fav. And @glowfroggames.bsky.social ‘s Pieced Together drops on the 6th. Trying to find more hours in the day for games.

The week's indie releases are marching out: Mar 3 - Esoteric Ebb (@chrisbodegard.bsky.social) Mar 3 - Legend of Khiimori EA(@aesirinteractive.bsky.social) Mar 5 - Planet of Lana II (@wishfully.bsky.social) Mar 5 - Slay the Spire 2 EA(@megacrit.com) And: theindieinformer.com/2026/01/05/2...

Why do I love Tunic as much as I do? Can I convince The Tier Lists' Adam Gumbert that it deserves to be in a rank all its own? Find out below:

And I'm gonna need you to go vote for Tunic at S-tier as well...

This week @finruin.bsky.social from @theindieinformer.bsky.social joins The Tier List to talk Tunic, & why this Zelda-like adventure is a top tier puzzle experience. Check episode descriptions on how to vote as season 1 starts to wrap! Video: youtu.be/DtquYs4mlsU?... Audio: linktr.ee/TheTierList

From and for my heart, thank you.

One of the nicest things anyone has ever said about me honestly

Jill is too kind to me 😢

And not least, I want to thank so many people who make all of these wonderful articles and the site itself possible. Y'all are the best: theindieinformer.com/thankyou/

Hayes Madsen (@solfleet.bsky.social) is a masterly seasoned veteran in this industry. Their thoughts on Cairn flowed like refreshing and deep water: theindieinformer.com/2026/01/29/c...

Peter Hunt Szpytek's (@peterspittech.bsky.social) blend of pensive and bold writing allows him to put an outrageously humorous title right on top of a pointedly shrewd take. Just like he did for his last piece: theindieinformer.com/2026/02/05/d...

Joseph Hooper (@th3hoopman.bsky.social) is a wickedly talented writer with such a strong voice. His latest preview on Denshattack was a wonderful combination of funny and insightful: theindieinformer.com/2026/02/19/d...

Amidst the appalling currents we're swimming in, I'm so glad to have a tremendous team and community. Today especially, I want to share my appreciation for those who make The Indie Informer a place that gives me the hope and enthusiasm I sometimes need just to take another step in this world:

If you need a Friday treat, I have two for the price of one. Under the Island bursts with joy and Neva: Prologue gives us a smooth and serene finish.

What am I doing playing indie games when there are indie games to play? The creator behind Super Space Club is bring the vibes in a whole new way. Welcome your your very own island in the sun. Ourlands demo is live!

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something. www.ign.com/articles/tun...

Super interesting discussion in this week's Indie Council about whether being able to define games as 'indie' even matters – worth a listen!

This episode caps a very busy day at The Indie Informer. I hope you've been able to catch all the indie happenings!

This week's episode sees The Indie Council debating not what is indie, but does it matter? And, if it does, for who?

You owe it to yourself to play this demo.

Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth just revealed a release date, and, after playing the new demo, I'm eagerly looking forward to playing the full, snowy sequel.

Neva: Prologue feels heavier than the base game. The experience can be less vibrant, but offers worthwhile reason to revisit the world.

thank you for trying the demo @theindieinformer.bsky.social !! 🤩🐴💚 the vampire lore took me by surprise ngl 😂 happy Year of The Horse everypony! theindieinformer.com/2026/02/17/h...

Developer Capybara Games had to make "major directional change" for Battle Vision Network to continue.

Had about 15 seconds of feeling sad that this is going roguelike instead of competitive, then realized this is one of those games where i’ll probs just be happy pressing buttons

I’ve played through the Denshattack! demo six times, and I’m already itching for more.

I wrote another piece! Shout out @finruin.bsky.social and the @theindieinformer.bsky.social crew as always for giving me the opportunity.
