A lot of neat stuff has come out in the last two weeks and it’s the funny number day, so here’s another one of these indie game roundup things of things that I enjoyed. If you released a thing and I missed it, feel free to reply in the comments.
Craig Maloney
Craig Maloney passed away on April 2nd after battling cancer for three years. I never met him in person but enjoyed talking with him online and reading his posts on his blog. If you would like to see his writing or the games he made, there’s links to everything on his page.
New Domino Club games!
A new batch of Domino Club games has been released. Domino Club is a collective that releases games anonymously. Each batch of Domino Club games features incredibly interesting experimental stuff. They’re the best!
Palestinian Relief Bundle
A charity bundle just came out today with all proceeds going to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. For $8 or more you can get hundreds of games. I’m happy to have my game MindExplorer in there.
New Husky Game Development Games
Husky Game Development is a game dev group at Michigan Tech University since 2004. They’ve uploaded some new games to Itch so go check them out!
Tiny Circumstance
Tiny Circumstance is a really cute and technically impressive Bitsy game.
Broken Roads
If you’re in the mood for some more Fallout after watching the new tv show (I enjoyed it!), consider checking out Broken Roads, a post apocalyptic rpg in the Australian Outback. Reviews for it are currently mixed but maybe you’ll be into it?
Crowdfunding
Here are some crowdfunding campaigns that I found interesting:
- Devil’s Hideout is a new point-and-click adventure from the developer of games like Twilight Oracle and Blood Nova.
- Free Stars is a new Star Control game by the original designers in everything but name. The game even includes all the aliens from those original games.
Other People Talking About Indie Games
Indie Tsushin continues doing fantastic work with their developer spotlights.
I liked this post from Lotus that’s critical of the Triple-I Initiative.
Self Promo Zone
Not much from me this time. I continue to play lesser known games on my YouTube and Twitch channels and a previous post discusses a game I’m working on. I also have a list on Itch that I update every day with games I really like
