    i like your positivity. it’s true, except that the landscape for indies is also v grim rn. The kind of investors that fueled indie games of the past have dried up. Kickstarters for games still happen, but it isn’t the like the glory days. And discoverability is a nightmare, releasing an indie game these days is a bit like playing the lottery. But I’ll tell you, when a $20 or under indie game catches my attention, i’m pretty inclined to impulse buy. They are more enticing than the $80 games, for sure.

      Fr. This year seemed like it was going to be pretty shit in regards to new releases, with the only things to catch my interest being the DLCs for rimworld, bannerlord, and Rogue Trader, and Arma Reforger.

      But games like Beta Decay seem to be holding the torch for innovation. Can’t wait for that to be released.
