What if there was a curated calendar of indiegames that updated in real time when a release date is updated on Steam? And this calendar was organised into months with up to date screenshots and trailers? A lot of long nights went into this. I hope it helps you docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

NEW INDIEGAME RELEASE DATE CALENDAR 👀 Sooo... I learnt some code and did a thing, now my calendar is back (and better?) Embed dearindiegames.com/indiegame-re... Original Google Sheet docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

As GDC talk applications have opened, I want to politely remind you that GDC remains one of the most inaccessible, unfairly expensive, and dangerous for-profit game industry events out there - and that offering your labour for free to it just adds value that pressures people into going needlessly.

IndieGames Coming Your Way In August 2025! It's never too early to get excited about what's on the horizon, so I went on a lil DIG through Steam to unearth some gems and made a handy article (my favourites are highlighted in green) to peruse So why not let me do the digging for you? Have a taste

And here's that second batch of 10 #indiegames highlighted for @botherer.bsky.social's annual Fourth of July indie game spotlight on Kotaku Congrats to the #indiedevs mentioned in either article! (I did not have a game in either article, but always happy for the success of my fellow indie devs)

I didn't like the last banner I created, so I made a new one using the backgrounds from each inspired IndieGame. In case it wasn't obvious already, the IndieGames are; 📟 Rue Valley 🐾 Herdling 👀 Gloomy Eyes 🍜 KuloNiku: Bowls Up! 📞 Dispatch Okay, now I'm writing the article... For real now.

Calling all artists! We need your help! We're looking for artists and illustrators who would like to help us bring this year's characters to life. If you're interested in a commission to create art for #AdvX25, please fill in our artist application form! forms.gle/zR1qJM2unjoC... adventurexpo.org

Introducing Poko! The Dear IndieGames Mascot, full of expression, colour, and sprouting ideas from their head. Dressed up as some of my favourite IndieGame demos I played during SteamNextFest. An article with all my thoughts is coming soon, so keep an eye out. And don't forget to say Hi to Poko!

I did it! I played all the demos I downloaded for Steam Next Fest! I'm not sure how many it was (I lost count around 120 IndieGames), so maybe 150 demos? Anyway, it's still June, so I'm counting this as a success. Here are my TOP 10 favourites!

I went in 2023 and loved meeting all the devs and I still treasure the art and stickers from the talented team behind AdventureX. Can't wait to go again!

Steam Next Fest might well be over for now, but there are still plenty of games with demos to play and to add to your wishlist. Here's a small selection of the many games that caught my attention during Next Fest! #SteamNextFest #NextFest

I think I still have about 20 demos left to play, so this is me asking devs to pleeeeeease leave your demo up for a little longer after SteamNextFest is finished Pretty please

Don't know who needs to be told this, I certainly do from time to time... Slow down. Take a break. Don't blow yourself up.

Update on my #SteamNextFest journey I've downloaded somewhere around 150 demos, played a tone and have 31 more to go, and so far 15 have stood out as adventures I want to jump back into on release date. Here are my 15 favourite IndieGames (so far) for SteamNextFest.

AD | Camper Van Make It Home is the perfect cosy and wholesome gaming experience I've been searching for lately! Thank you, @malapatastudio.bsky.social & @futurefriendsgames.com for the opportunity to check out at such a wonderful game! #CamperVanMakeItHome #CosyGames

SteamNextfest starts in less than an hour. To all the content creators, journalists, devs, PR and marketers. HOLD FAST! YOU CAN DO THIS! And most importantly, have fun, take breaks, and hydrate 😊

Pssstt... I've been preparing for the upcoming #SteamNextFest, and so far, I've downloaded 78 demos, played 49, and have 19 IndieGames that have gotten me really excited (or at least curious) to find out more. Article incoming once I'm done.

I've been away for a few months, my day job was keeping me busy. In that time, I've had space to step away and look at my content. What do I enjoy doing? What I miss? What is maybe too time consuming to do alone? I want to return to IndieGame news content, and changes will need to be made.

Pick up Antonblast if you like Pizza Tower or any of the Warioland games.
