On the topic of the vital INDIEPOCALYPSE, Andrew is holding a subscription drive on Patreon. For less than a cup of coffee (or more if you can spare!) you can take part in this direct action to keep INDIEPOCALYPSE going strong for years to come and maybe even get some goodies in return.

Andrew | BUY INDIEPOCALYPSE ➡️ PRGE @pizzapranks.bsky.social · 6d

There's currently a subscription drive for Indiepocalypse if a monthly curated 10 game collection of indie games (plus a ~5 year back library) from a *wide* range of devs sounds like something you'd be into.

Every subscription directly supports contributors.

I love it when artists take a shot at making interactive projects!!!! Fighting the beginner coding learning curve in a tug of war leads to tiny but mighty victories like this!

!NEWLY COMMISSIONED FOR INDIEPOCALYPSE!

Syf is a short and simple game, one where an unsettling, wacky clay world lends itself to your exploration. No real goal or grand mission - just have fun clicking around and discovering.

I recorded the More Noise Please guest spot almost a year ago when I was sick and I completely forgot I made this preview collage full of hints for some of the music I’ll be playing!

Cursed photo, but in a nice way. From my collection, no documented date/info.

Black and white photo of a white cat, lying on a dark couch in a dark room. The high contrast makes the cat almost appear to glow while the couch and room almost disappear into darkness. The whole thing has a grainy look like a weird art film.
