I can suggest to follow feeds, as you'll probably find several interesting devs, games,...

Might be biased, but I recommend the "Indie Devs & Games" feed ;)

I love alien invasion! In my first X-COM session the aliens built their 1st base in Russia.

I can answer this!

EARTH MUST DIE is about a dumbass authoritarian dictator, and the whole game is deeply, unashamedly anti-fascist in nature.

The GOOD news is, if you're a fascist, most of the jokes will go over your head and you can just look at the pretty colours? 👍

Steam forum post for EARTH MUST DIE. The question is raised "Is this game political? or will I be able to enjoy it and escape from this dire reality for a moment?"
