Something odd I've noticed is when I was the social media/community manager for Tetris everyone knew me as the "Tetris person" but that hasn't been the case with Nightdive even though I'm doing the same exact role plus communications and influencer marketing 😅

I got my start in the industry writing about indies for IndieObscura back in 2016. Plenty of people read articles about indies on that site, just not as much as the bigger sites. To the indie devs out there, please don't let this discourage you.
yeah the harsh reality is that we do take a chance on small games no one's heard of a lot more often than anyone thinks we do. but literally no one reads the articles, which then reinforces to the powers that be that they're not worth doing. I don't know how to solve that problem!
I've been doing this all year but indie journalists have the same issues as indie games. Unless it's a big name, nobody cares.

What's the worst level in PowerWash Sim 2 and why is it the log cabin with the plane pieces 😅 setting that eyesore on fire in the game would've been a better help to its owners than powerwashing it

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.
They're AI-generating the music here.
Fuck that.

The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

Really glad Grasshopper/Suda51 have nothing to do with this sequel.
Let it die, indeed.
