Yeah of course, I just know how important it is to indie discoverability, who often don't have the budgets to pay for visibility elsewhere is all

I get that every game gets a chance in Next Fest, but does Marathon really need the additional publicity and discoverability? When you've indies with teams of 1-10-100 people and marketing budgets to match, it does feel a bit like seeing McDonalds rock up with a food stand at your local food market.

Reddit post from a developer AMA for Stars of Icarus which reads: "We're working with an indie PR and marketing team called Secret Sauce. It's been pretty great so far. It's definitely better than trying to do everything ourselves."

Getting a shout out from a client in a Reddit AMA wasn't on my bingo card for this week

So excited to be publishing another title this year, we fell in love with Remote Control as soon as we played the demo on Itch, and we're sure you'll love peeling back it's layers as much as us

I heard 2026 is the new 2016 Throw on some beach house music, snapchat filters and your skinny jeans (okay... maybe not that trend...)

the new Weekend Games newsletter highlights some of the best short games from 2016 (and a poll for best indie of that year - it's definitely Stardew Valley) weekendgames.beehiiv.com/p/2026-is-th...

That's the kind of the point for us for now - 'forever' games provide great ongoing entertainment of course, but there is appetite for tighter experiences to really capture our imagination in a different way
