Haven’t touched #RuneFactory in a hot minute. Spending the day chilling with #GuardiansOfAzuma, some seem to hate it, but I’m enjoying it, even if it feels more like a spin-off. Still more of a #HarvestMoon fan myself haha.

Not sure what it is, but #NauticalSurvival as an #ActionRoguelike is a very relaxing and satisfying #IndieGame. Great for stress relief when you need to let off some steam. Not overwhelming, just chill. While it is still in early access, it already offers a lot of basic replay value.

Unit Down Charge will be in the #SteamNextFest event, featuring an updated demo with requested changes and a complete controller overhaul!

I put the game down with genuine frustration an said: "I can now see why the game was never greenlit." #CaptainBlood starts like it could scratch that old-school #Fable or #GodOfWar itch, but the clunky gameplay and painfully drawn-out fights ruin it. I couldn't even bother to finish it.

Another chill day on #Twitch, more #TurnbasedThursdayFest today: #Krzyżacy, #HardWest2, and #DogAndGoblin! We’ll return to exploring upcoming #SteamNextFest titles on Monday, but for now, I just want to sit back and enjoy some downtime, hope that's alright.

Grammy went without a fuss, same way she lived. No funeral, no long speeches. Just a passing. I made peace with myself when I was a young boy of the ripe ol' age of 31. Grammy never asked for much, but would always give whatever she could. In other news, yay, new games.

#TurnBasedThursdayFest is back, celebrating turn-based games. It's time to relax and take a short break from #SteamNextFest. Today we'll be diving into #CavesofQud, #AlinaOfTheArena, #CrownTrick, and #IntoTheBreach. Swing by our Stream for #Giveaways or don’t. Not forcing ya :3

Psst! #IndieDevs send me your upcoming #SteamNextFest games! I’ve been digging through hundreds of upcoming demos and love what I’ve found so far, as a #ContentCreator and from those who reached out. This showcase will feature more than ever before, and I hope to make it as good as I possibly can!

*Taps Foot* What a month. I’ve been working on wrapping up a month-long video discussion about key distribution websites for #IndieDevs, preparing for the upcoming #SteamNextFest showcase (likely around 200 games), and juggling a few other things. Now, my grandmother is on her final deathbed.

There has been a steady increase in #IndieGames of the #Tetris sub-genre. I'm loving it, from strategy, combat, music and more, the list keeps going on and on. Also trying out some changes to thumbnail images, I don't know, might make things pop out in the future.

Holy moley, you can’t be serious. A #NoMoreHeroes styled rhythm game with beatdown action synced to licensed and imported tracks? #DeadAsDisco is easily one of the best games I’ve played during my early approach to #SteamNextFest, god damn it's good!

#Indiegames featuring cats often lean too hard on that gimmick featuring no other noteworthy appeals. #Stray opened the floodgate, to a wave of #CopyCat titles. As the Stray-like trend began to feel stale, the game caught me off guard, with it's emotional short story that left me in tears.

#RiverTowns combines the charm of #citybuilder games with the style of #Tetris puzzles. I appreciate what the game set out to do, but I had some concerns. The randomized nature of its puzzles and leaderboards makes achieving the perfect score feel luck-based, removing the elements of strategy.

Currently live while you're all cozy and eepy in your bed! Wrapping up the Steam #Demo games from yesterday with some quick looksies. Ending with #OFF one of the most hyped upcoming #IndieGames then more backlog! Catch me here:

#ExZodiac is a well-executed #StarFox inspired #IndieGame. It successfully captured key elements like on-rails shooting, all-range mode, bosses, and charm. I love what it's trying to achieve. A few minor adjustments could elevate it even further. Be that voice acting, or self inspired elements.

While it’s great to see #IndieGames draw inspiration from titles like #Hades, it’s disappointing when that influence doesn’t hold a strong execution. #ReignBreaker features a solid soundtrack and neon-medieval punk design but fell short in delivering interesting gameplay or replay value.

Imitating the #SilentHill formula is no easy feat, most games fall short or become as cryptic as the originals. #PostTrauma was somewhere between engaging at the expense of a lack of narrative depth and visual quality. It had it's issues. The game was okay because the puzzles were fun to focus on.

No way! The #InStarsandTime developer is out here promoting even more peak #Indie heat with #TruthScrapper! I can't wait to review it and re-promote the game that got me interested in insertdisc5! Hoo boy, here we go.

Time to start planning coverage for the upcoming #SteamNextFest showcase in June! You an #IndieDev, or know someone working on a #IndieGame? Feel free to drop a link below or send me an email. I'd love to get a head start this time. I ended up rushing through so many games last time!

If you're exploring #Pokémon-style creature-collection games, I can say that #PortalFantasy is one to avoid, due to its past ties to #NFTs and blockchain associations. Hard pass on that, the quality of the game alone really showcases how bad it's designed.

This is a very good review. Not like, good as in praise, but good because it addresses issues my first game had. Hoping Unit Down Charge hits all the nails this time!

So the highly anticipated #BlueProtocol #MMORPG which was canceled by Bandai before it was ever released to Western Audiences is being released! The downside is that #Tencent are the ones that bought up the IP. That immediately felt like a punch to the gut. But hey! It's back?

No surprises here, #Starfox is my favorite game, so anything inspired by it grabs my attention quickly. If you haven’t seen #UnitDown or #UnitDownCharge, check them out. They may not be the perfect games, but @properdev.bsky.social works hard on these #IndieGames as a passionate solo developer :3

Despite questionable marketing practices, #Microsoft continues to release engaging co-op live service games #Immortals33 & #TowerBorne are such examples. It seems they are attempting to revive a part of their long lost history, and I support this effort. Quick bursts of action is all it takes.

I'm super excited to announce Without a Dawn, a Visual Novel with philosophical and psychological horror elements: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhT3... Wishlist now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... #visualnovel #Steam #SteamNextFest #indiegame #HorrorCommunity

I would love to hear your opinions #Indiedevs. I would like to feature you in an upcoming video about key distribution websites, so please reach out for more information :3 I am looking for both the positive and negative perspectives, as my goal is to provide information from multiple points.

⚠️MY GAME COMES OUT SOON!⚠️ And yes, it is on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2509660/...

I just received a #IndieGame #Giveaway raffle from the lovely devs over at Mooncube Games for #SpiritCity, the overwhelmingly positive lofi cozy game. Big thanks! You can apply to join the raffle here (it's hosted directly by them): giveaways.page/spiritcitylo... Hope you like enjoy it.

I don't know what it is, but man. I should try to go back to my more tender voice narrative, I give myself goose bumps when I re-watch the following #IndieGame #Reviews #MindsBeneathUs and #UntilThen. Like holy shit. I could really work with it. youtu.be/eG6zFI85HvM youtu.be.com/Or6xk0ES2g8

*Wipes forehead* So many giveaways, so many writings, voicings, editing, writing, exercise and email sifting. What a fun day c:

The winners of the #BlueSky #Giveaway for #DeadZoneRogue are in: @nonkurow.bsky.social @flamymind.bsky.social @hyperhop.bsky.social and finally @followyourdreams.bsky.social Congratulations! Message me to get your key to redeem on Steam.

#Vtuber live on Twitch, same time as every day, because I just like sticking to schedules. Today’s plan: Knock out some backlog games. If we wrap those up, I’ll be diving into my #Oblivion playthrough. I might get absorbed into #Towerborne though :p

While others dove headfirst into #Oblivion, #Expedition33, and #TheLastOfUs2 during Aprils crowded release schedule, I found my way towards #SouthofMidnight. While light on gameplay, it was rich with Southern folklore and atmosphere. I really enjoyed this title. A great story and music!

I don’t really aspire to be anything, specifically. I sort of coast through life. If I can help someone or contribute to something that matters, even in a small way, that’s enough for me. I might be quiet and keep to myself, but that doesn’t mean I’m not screaming inside, trying to be more social.

A platformer that tackles existentialism in a way that's upfront, gentle, and humorous? Now that's something interesting. #Peppered is an amazing #IndieGame with multiple endings and meaningful choices, I really think you’ll love it. A lot of charm to explore in this world set on the path of ruin!

Mix #SpaceInvaders with an insane amount of #Deckbuilding freedom and you get one of the most innovative #IndieGame out there. Classic meets modern #Turnbased depth. You've got to check out #SpaceVaders

Back when I was struggling hard and living next to a Papa John’s, I survived off their Monday 50% off deal + promotion. Cheapest pizza was $5 times that by 7 days. The promotion? Buy a pizza, get a free ANY size (In my case XL) two topping. Saved thousands of monies. Wasn’t healthy. But I lived.

Ooohoohooohooo #CreatureKeepers is goated. It's Pokémon, but you just beat the shit out of everyone alongside your pals!

I cleaned my room. Now it's time to make it a complete mess again.
