Just market your game!? Silly goose, just market your game! What's that? You enjoy making game?? You enjoy the process of development??!? You want to spend more time making games?!? Don't! Spend your time doing marketing!!! This is game development!! You are in advertising now! Why are you crying?!?

CORPOREAL is playable at the SXSW Sydney games showcase this Thurs & Fri. Check out the demo if you're around and the many other indie games on show. (I won't be there in person but i'll be there in spirit) 📸

Don't Ask:
"Why won't site x cover this indie game?"

Ask:
"How can I better support indie games media?"

For indie games to succeed, those covering them need to succeed as well.

Here are some you can start following. Tell me your favs or who I miss.

Blaktasia was on the show floor last year iirc! I’m sure the games will mostly all make it onto the show floor at their respective appropriate promotion cycle moments, haha

I heard through the grapevine that Key Fairy has a new Next Fest Demo???? store.steampowered.com/app/2878580/...

Key Fairy on Steam

A hand-drawn, pacifist, folkloric, bullet-hell. Grapple and dance around monsters to collect their shattered stars, weave your way through twisting paths, encounter strange folk, uncover ancient magic...
