we're starting up the stream next for our weekly look at upcoming indie games youtu.be/pqRbJMH9SRw

New indie showcase video continuing my coverage of steam next fest demos, and we have more games and demos to play later tonight from #Indiegamedev youtu.be/BitGv79Jhig 🧵

My next design video going up tomorrow is about gunplay, and I may have went overboard on the image

another game I checked out for my indie streams was Scarlet Deer Inn by @evanavratilova.bsky.social and it looks like an interesting hand drawn platformer youtu.be/kGSIFnViSFs #indiegamedev

I think I've found the name for the best game bundle on steam store.steampowered.com/bundle/78270...

My thoughts on the physical news. While I do prefer digital to physical these days, it's high past the time for everyone to figure out a long-term solution for game preservation.

stream is starting up next looking at Mandragora followed by more Midnight Suns youtu.be/vMvfQpEkcMg

Our second showcase for today is up with Timebound, a puzzle game about using time loops to get through sections www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk-L...

I'm giving each game we cover in our Debut Devs showcase series its own video now, and the first part is up from the last event looking at Gravity's Edge youtu.be/ADwsXT22xdY #indiegamedev

we're starting up the stream next with more of Midnight Suns youtu.be/49zpHci8cdw

we have the first of a two part #indiegamedev interview up today youtu.be/c5UIAIaMcvk as I spoke with @neonaurelius.bsky.social discussing making Sparrow Warfare, and if you are interested in talking about your game on a podcast, please get in touch.

starting up my evening stream next with some they are billions youtu.be/SbgZR0NEWEE

I have to put a hold on playing Orb of Creation tonight, as I have to finish my homework of going through next fest demos and video editing.

I'll be posting the archives from this month's Debut Devs showcase this week, and for any first time #indiegamedev interested in getting their game and store page reviewed, sign-ups are here forms.gle/YcsxbDoX49qv...

starting up a stream next looking at Demon Dust for some dungeon crawling survival horror store.steampowered.com/app/3080050/...

I'm going to start working on my next book on puzzle and adventure games, and the offer is still open for any designers interested in contributing a quote/s about the genres, feel free to msg me and I can direct you to the questionaire #indiegamedev

I just posted my first look at Dieseldome, trying out the roguelike mode they have planned for the shooter youtu.be/tSQSyA1Xjwc

I think I'm almost done the first chapter of Marvel Midnight Suns and I'm curious for people who played it this far or longer, what did you think of it? The game is starting to punch back, and it's starting to feel like certain team combinations are going to matter at the higher difficulties.

starting up next, we're going back to more of Midnight Suns youtu.be/wC_fG6x8z8I

Here's the kind of game I'm looking for at the moment -- Has a simple name like "Happy Walks in a Park" and has a progression and gameplay system so advanced it requires a 6 hour tutorial and puts Disgaea's sub-systems to shame.

My latest review is up for Vultures Scavengers of Death that attempts to combine turn-based combat with survival horror youtu.be/ct_dIi0Hxbs @firesquid.games

still working my way through all the next fest demos I downloaded, I'm hoping the remaining demos don't get turned off by the time I get to them.

any great games from #indiegamedev on sale that have flown under the radar?

for the stream tonight, I'm checking out White Knuckle's newest update and more of Midnight Suns youtu.be/IiuplJV0DWI

new #indiegamedev showcase with more of my favorite demos from Next Fest youtu.be/mtz5tGMSbP0 🧵

Tomorrow at 5 pm ET, we have our next Debut Devs showcase, where I'll be providing feedback on games from first time #indiegamedev, and sign-ups can be found here for future streams: forms.gle/s7a6qWnE1iYY...

it's time for the post next fest reminder to #indiegamedev, don't immediately deactivate your demos now that the event is over, as there are people who are still going through them.

finished hard mode in White Knuckle and got the masochist achievement to add to all my many other masochist achievements I've done in games.

up next, it's my final bonus night of streaming #steamnextfest with one more look at upcoming indie games and more youtu.be/pdcrR5mLdC4

Orb of Creation is finally out, and now to spend who knows how long incrementaling with it store.steampowered.com/app/1910680/...

found a late pick as another favorite from next fest, Enigma Heart is an indie spin off of Zelda 2 and looks like a really fantastic take on it store.steampowered.com/app/2986980/...

Next Fest is not over for me, it's time for the first of several bonus nights of next fest demos youtu.be/zj4_SNEE9fY

#steamnextfest is over, but I still have more showcase videos of demos from #indiegamedev to cover youtu.be/SAWH3gdHf8s 🧵

here's a design question I've been thinking about. How do you feel about glass cannon action games -- Trepang2, Hotline Miami, Severed Steel; where everything dies fast, and the player is always a millisecond away from dying. And having to rely on some kind of power to tilt the scales for you.

Only a few more nights covering Next Fest, and thinking about if I could cover more games has me feeling like this.

Last call from #indiegamedev, if you have a demo in next fest, I'm going to be doing a few bonus nights of streaming it and wrap up my coverage this week.

we're back with more of #steamnextfest, and let me know about your demos, as I'm sure we'll be doing a few bonus streams of games given the list I have so far youtu.be/5CxDhdkP39Q

I tried out Dicevaders and the concept is good, but engine builder + probability is not good for my bad luck and rolls store.steampowered.com/app/3917700/...

we're starting up an afternoon stream of #steamnextfest demos now youtu.be/Y4OjW7pUjfk

Next fest is coming to an end soon, but I'll be trying to play as many #indiegamedev demos I can find with bonus nights of streams, let me know if I missed your demo so I can download it before the event is over.

starting up next, we have another night looking at demos from #steamnextfest planned youtu.be/dHHK3uRR1DE

My latest piece covering next fest is up today with even more great #indiegamedev demos youtu.be/cz1yIfPlvGA and I'll be doing more streams of the event in about an hour.

Part 4 of my #steamnextfest coverage is now up with four games I really enjoyed checking out youtu.be/cz1yIfPlvGA 🧵

we're getting started with my fifth night looking at demos from #steamnextfest youtu.be/5_kBx9wXO00

we're still not close to finishing my look at next feat, and if you are an #indiegamedev with a new demo in the event, let me know about it to add to my coverage list.
