I just stopped by and the barriers are no longer completely around that area, but it still takes up a huge amount of space that was filled with people hanging out last year.

The Indie Informer Goes On A Big WalkΒ Preview It's all about the friends we might have left to die along the way...

House House's new title may not have a goose, but I endeavored to create just as much mischief.

My Big Walk preview was smooth, silly, engaging, and just what I was hoping for.

FISHBOWL πŸ’œ APRIL 2!Β πŸ’œ Steam and PS5

It feels surreal to know that five years ago, in April 2021, the two of us started making Fishbowl. Even more surreal that five years later, it is going to be in your hands.

Mark your calendars for April 2nd and wishlist Fishbowl 🫢🏽🫢🏽

This week (and month) is ridiculously packed.

I’ve spent 6+ hours playing the Esoteric Ebb demo and the first Slay The Spire is an all-time fav.

And @glowfroggames.bsky.social β€˜s Pieced Together drops on the 6th.

Trying to find more hours in the day for games.
