❤️ NEW EPISODE ❤️ Remember Blind Date? The TV show with Cilla Black? Well, imagine that but with indie game characters as the contestants. YOU'RE WELCOME. indieventurepodcast.co.uk/podcast/epis...

In the interest of fairness, I'll add that the Chris campaign is marginally better. The enemies are more fun to fight, and the set pieces lean further into the silliness. But the cover shooting is absolutely rotten. This was a solved problem in 2012, yet it feels like a first attempt!

Playing Resident Evil 6 for the first time (I gave up after two hours back when it first released) and... *woof*. As an artefact from the 360 generation, it's a fascinating mess of conflicting ideas. As a game to play today, though? Absolutely rank. A miserable slog. 6/10

The game you are about to play is a product of its time. It may depict the PS3, which was commonplace in society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.

I go through this cycle every few years. Can't wait to do it again in 4K baybeeeeee.

NEW EPISODE! The Indieventure trio chat about indies they've been playing this winter. Including: 📀 TR-49 🗻 Cairn 🔮 Strange Antiquities and more! Listen wherever you get your podcasts! indieventurepodcast.co.uk/podcast/epis...

Orbitals really has a 10/10 pitch: A Hazelight game not written by Hazelight.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

First episode of the year let's gooo

This is a really big moment for me, actually.

"What's your favourite Beatles album, then?" "Tough one! I think I'd have to say... The Best of The Beatles"

My team are hiring for a UI designer! Fancy working for Greggs, or know someone who does? Let them know! uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=2...

Dug out the old Quest 2 to play some VR yesterday. I've been poking around Into the Radius VR, a super tactile solo extraction shooter based heavily on STALKER. Really good stuff! store.steampowered.com/app/1012790/...

Wrote about the 10 games I liked in 2025.

A heap of great recommendations to check out this year! Both this episode and the preceding indie trends of 2025 are required holiday void listening.

What a year. At the time it was a toss up between Left 4 Dead and MGS4 (I know, I know). Now, it's probably Mirror's Edge or Dead Space. Two bold swings, the likes of which feel so rare these days.

A pre-Christmas bump for our GOTY episode ✨ If you're looking for something fun to play over the next few days, you can do a lot worse than the 12 absolutely stellar indies we discuss here! indieventurepodcast.co.uk/podcast/epis...

@backpagepod.bsky.social I wish this was an intentional thing I actively try and do every Christmas, but it's genuinely not. I found another one. Potentially the last one? It was in a train station. My wife sighed loudly when I asked her to take the photo. Have a good one, boys.

As always, super proud of our GOTY episode. We played so much this year, and I think that's reflected in our picks. 12 absolute bangers that range from enormous critical darlings to incredible curios that slipped under the radar!

Check out @indieventurepodcast.co.uk latest podcast. Absolutely knock it out of the park from the very beginning. Too many great games are not getting the spotlight that they need and not enough discovery. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4K_...

If you want to communicate your idea to an artist all you need is 30 seconds and the basic ability to grip a pen

The first in our two-part Christmas extravaganza! A good one, imo.

⛄ Wishing you all a happy holiday season! 🎄 I'm chuffed that VIDEOVERSE is now available in Japanese AND on consoles. It's been a huge year and I thank you all for the support! ❄️ Please enjoy 30% off in the Steam Winter Sale later today! 🎁

It's the last day to pre-order the super slick deluxe edition of Cocoon: Design Works!! The marble white looks GORGEOUS, and you get lots of extras too ✨ www.lostincult.co.uk/cocoon ✨

Watched the Resi 9 trailer on the big TV before work this morning in full Dad Mode. Nodding my head throughout. Very excited to play that game.

Had such an amazing chat with @kinmoku.bsky.social for Indieventure! We talked about emotional media, the challenges (and rewards) of putting your personal life into your work and being ace! Thank you for coming on the pod💜💜

Two years! As far as personal projects go, nothing has ever felt as fulfilling as this. I'm very grateful that people listen ❤️ A special thanks to @simonwl.bsky.social who was commissioned to draw this episode's header image as a wedding present for me!

Promise Mascot Agency is 30% OFF in a Steam Daily Deal! To celebrate we're releasing Promise Mascot Agency: The Art of Kaso-Machi! Presenting a 400+ page PDF featuring art from Ikumi Nakamura, Mai Mattori, Inko Ai Takita and lots of the amazing devs who worked on the game! 🥳

An absolutely tepid take, but I think Ghost Of Yōtei is the best game Sony have published in years.

A rare life update from me: Got married ✨

VIDEOVERSE is now available to wishlist on the PlayStation Store! 🥳 store.playstation.com/en-us/concep...

Slowly gathering 2 hour audio files of my games journo friends telling me about their lives like some kind of Temu Thanos.

My excellent, talented friend @rachelwatts.bsky.social has only gone and wrote a BOOK all about Cocoon! You can pre-order it now! Look how nice it is!!!

Wrote a lil' thing about Ball x Pit, which has consumed me over the last few weeks. What a thing!

Wrote about my first few hours with Absolum. Its roguelite structure has finally made me feel competent at beat 'em ups. No small task! It's good!

I love this episode. Not only do we dig deep into the idea of the indie game sequel, we had a proper laugh doing so.

Rebecca is such a funny writer. If you have any interest in Danganronpa, Ace Attorney or Otome games, you *have* to check this out.

Waypoint is live 🚀 Nearly a year in the making — a custom-curated calendar for indie games, updated every few days with new gems. Every game since June 2024 (and more) is already in there. We’re building in public, and your feedback will shape it. 👉 waypoint.indieformer.com

Only an hour in, but Henry Halfhead is an absolute delight so far. Very much enjoyed finding this cheeky radio, which says everything you need to know about what inspired its playful sensibilities.

Not be a shill for my own employer here but the Greggs pulled pork sandwich with apple sauce is a genuine banger.

We're kicking off a fun little project we've been planning for a while today. Click through to read some of my words about enormous TV-themed sandwiches and the most annoying game I've played in years.

It's been a good long while since I was on mic with my former Brother In PlayStation, which made recording this episode a particular treat.

We're recording a mailbag tomorrow, so we want your questions! If they're about indie games that would be preferable, but deranged questions are also acceptable (and more on brand). Thanks!

This looks rad as hell.

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is very good (and the 15 hours I've spent with it so far have flown by) but it's easily the most irritating sounding game i've played in years. Just listen to the absolute state of this.

Wrote a thing about a (very good) Picross game.

WE'RE BACK! NEW EPISODE!

Loving THPS 3 + 4. My immediate feeling was that we need more Tony Hawk games, but Acti tried that and it ended in tears. I think I just want more games that prioritise skill based mechanics in a "soft", low-pressure way? Games that are embedded in a specific culture or moment?
