Inside Baseball: As a small organizational crew with big ambitions, we have to get pretty creative when it comes to production. The hosted segments you saw last night were filmed way back in early August; the same day (and different NYC borough) as the most recent Six One Indie Showcase.

That’s a wrap on 2025 🎬 Thank you all so much for the love, support, and for making this year our best yet. Things are only getting bigger from here. We’ll see you on January 5th to share what’s next.

One hour until showtime. We'll see you soon! 🏆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=lixL...

SLEEP AWAKE from EYES OUT and Blumhouse Games excels in worldbuilding during the first quarter of the art-house horror experience. Unfortunately, it loses sight of what makes it so special the deeper you dive, slipping into an increasingly disjointed clash of narrative and killer art direction.

It’s December, which usually means we’re busy as all heck. We may be a bit quieter, but here’s what’s happening: • The IGAs production grind continues! • Website refresh for the new year • Also *secrets* 👀 • A whole lot of 2026 meetings • Daily news and hands-on pieces still rolling 💙✌️

As we enter the holiday week, we want to thank everyone who helped transform the IGAs into a global celebration and means of discovery. Nominations and recipients for our global categories are solely curated by their respective organizations, offering a fresh lens on indie excellence. A thread 🧵

The rare irl crew photo 🎄

RIP to a games industry pioneer and legend, Rebecca Heineman (@burgerbecky.bsky.social) If your unfamiliar, look her up. Her career is like the story of videogames itself.

Super fun and unique end-of-year opp for indies from Lone Wulf Studio ⤵️

BrookLAN was the home to our first professional production and help kickstart this whole ride. It took a while to process, but man. We’re so heartbroken. Incredible community. Unbelievable crew.

Spending a portion of the weekend revisiting Öoo. What a wonderful, well-designed puzzle platformer. Such an intelligent and unique spin on Bomber Man-like mechanics. ➡️ store.steampowered.com/app/2721890/...

So uh. Seen any good YouTube videos lately? (We’re totally fine. Appreciate y’all.)

Summitsphere reached out to confirm ANTONBLAST was not a solo developed game. We apologize for the misunderstanding and can't wait to include such a great indie in the Steam event. We do have updated category. Join us in congratulating @bradysoglin.bsky.social on his nomination for Tall Trails!

The Indie Game Awards are officially upon us. We’ll see you on Dec.18th 🏆

A huge congrats to @panikarcade.bsky.social for selling over 1 million copies of CloverPit. We're huge fans! We can't wait to jump back in and try out the new hard mode. You can read up on the details here: www.sixoneindie.com/read/slot-ma...

The Six One Indie team loves stickers, Lego, cozy games - so basically @littlecornersgame.bsky.social which is out today on Steam. Read up on the details here: www.sixoneindie.com/read/put-tog...

The nominees and presenters for the 2025 Indie Game Awards will be revealed tomorrow at 10 AM ET 🏆 🔗 www.indiegameawards.gg

We love not only the pixelated art style of @monochromesoft.bsky.social's game Heatwave, but the idea of a fighting game mixed with a visual novel has us fully hooked. You can check out the details here: www.sixoneindie.com/read/lgbtq-v...

How do I get @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social involved with Made in New York City™️ @sixoneindie.com and @indiegameawards.gg? A Mayor Elect-hosted segment featuring independent NYC-developed games sounds pretty sick to me. My DMs are open, sir.

Update: Harry escaped the judicial system and published his full review just in time for launch day.

Our full review’s been delayed thanks to jury duty, but Goodnight Universe, y’all. The team behind Before Your Eyes delivers another mechanically and narratively brilliant experience; profound, unexpected, and deeply human. @nicedreamgames.com has cemented themselves among the industry’s best.

Rumor has it, the only way to fend off a Dewayo is by backing Blue Ridge Hunting on Kickstarter… 👀 Remember: Kickstarter is all or nothing! No funds are collected until the campaign ends. Claim your exclusive goodies early by showing your support. 🐺 www.kickstarter.com/projects/jad...

Much love to our dear friend and OG collaborator @mariorivera.bsky.social on the launch of Only Special Features! Super humbled to be given a ‘Special Thanks’ shout out. Give the first essay a watch, check out Mario’s interview with @madexposure.bsky.social, and sub to the new channel!

New for our second ceremony, the five developers selected for the Indie Vanguard Class of 2025 represent the future of our industry. Through bold debut projects, game jams, and demos, these developers are among the many who are paving the way forward for the indie scene. 🔗 indiegameawards.gg

Thank you, Rockstar, for making internal showcase planning much easier.

Ready to kick things off? The nominees and presenters for the 2025 Indie Game Awards will be revealed next week. Stay tuned for details: www.indiegameawards.gg

Jesse was kind enough to sneak me into the schedule today (and Saturday!) to help out Brenden and Jen. We’re finding true love in @paulraschid.bsky.social’s 10 Dates at 2 PM PT/5PM ET over on youtube.com/sixoneindie and twitch.tv/sixoneindie 💋 Donate: gofund.me/3982c0318

Can’t believe we get UNBEATABLE dropping and Mamdani as mayor in the same week.

Blue Ridge Hunting got us SCARED! Wishlist now, it helps the devs! store.steampowered.com/app/2434930/... #ad

Have you ever seen something you couldn’t explain, like there was something lurking in the shadows? Six One Publishing presents Blue Ridge Hunting, an online co-op horror cryptid hunting adventure by Jade Meadows 🐺 Play the demo and support on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/jad...

Woops #indiegames

The Kinda Funny crew is setting off on the hunt in Blue Ridge Hunting 🗻 Drop your favorite wolf in the chat 🐺

Who wants to play this with me??? So stoked for @sixoneindie.com ! This looks like a BANGER.

*extreme western maryland accent* did somebody say appalachia

The folks at Six One Publishing have announced their first game, a co-op horror title from Jade Meadows called Blue Ridge Hunting insider-gaming.com/blue-ridge-h...

Appalachia is an often-overlooked part of the US. Spanning from lower Pennsylvania to upper Georgia, it boasts a rich folkloric history that complements the beauty of its natural landscape. I spoke with @jademeadows.bsky.social about her upcoming game Blue Ridge Hunting, and WOW. Read it here 👇🏽
