Our newest team member spent some time with @chromaticink.bsky.social's Dice Gambit this week, and walked away absolutely chuffed, despite not being a tactics person.

The three top scores on the NBA Jam machine at my favourite pub are attributed to “POO”, “BUM” and “WEE”. Life is full of beauty if you know where to look

The Switch 2 was announced, and @hellerphant.pxls.jp pondered how it fits into his life now that devices like the Steam Deck are here. That spawned a new Convo piece from him and @blu.pxls.jp that talks about the new Nintendo handheld, and it's place in the landscape.

Yeah, it's cool that the Switch 2 is a thing, but we've got indies to play!

www.pxls.jp/dna-detectiv...

Some pretty good looking games on the lineup this week. Plus we are doing a Citizen Sleeper Game Club on our Discord, and @blu.pxls.jp shares one of his favourite AGDQ videos.
DNA detectives, sea battles, and Heroes of Hammerwatch II
Plus a very good speedrun, Citizen Sleeper game club, and more

A new written series of conversations between @blu.pxls.jp and @hellerphant.pxls.jp begin today!

www.pxls.jp/the-joy-of-h...

We talk about finding hidden gems, chasing the dopamine rush of new game purchases, and try to examine why we hoard games, or when we choose to go deep.
The joy of hidden gems in your backlog
Steve and Blue share a little back-and-forth about the backlog problem, chasing the high of new games, and how to find hidden gems.

Happy 2025 everyone! Here's our first #IndieReleaseDispatch for the year!

www.pxls.jp/finnish-road...

S4U is 100% our jam. My Summer Car looks unhinged for people who are chasing those vibes. The Last Flame looks so much like a @blu.pxls.jp game. Some good ones this week.
Finnish road trip and cyber-chats
Plus horror shooters, fishing RPGs, and a very strategic auto-battler

Good morning! It's Friday so it's time for another Indie Release Dispatch!

Caves of Qud 1.0 is here, Battle Shapers looks like a neat Roguelite FPS, and Get To Work is about a poor bald guy who needs to rollerblade their way up the corporate ladder. Deep stuff!

Saturday is here! What indie game are you getting stuck into this weekend?

I’m still trying to solve the cases in this excellent sequel. But I’m thinking of booting up Loco Motive later today.
November 23, 2024 at 12:44 AM
It's Indie Release Dispatch day! This week we've got Dark Souls meets Baldur's Gate 3, a 1930s murder mystery, and a bizarre survival horror game that looks like a Suda51 joint.

Oh, and we launched a new domain which is pretty neat too!

Chances are that you might already follow @hellerphant.pxls.jp, but you should also follow @blu.pxls.jp! They are starting to do some streams on their own channel and will be contributing in a more public fashion rather than behind the scenes soon!
November 22, 2024 at 6:32 AM
It's Friday, which means that there is a new Indie Release Dispatch out!

Astroneer has a huge expansion out, Void Sols looks to mesh Geometry Wars and a Soulslike, but The Rise of the Golden Idol is our featured passion this week.

What are you playing this weekend?
Glitchwalkers, 70s detectives, and Shrek
