My 8 favorite demos from Steam Next Fest, including Promise Mascot Agency, Wanderstop, Demon Tides, and more! The quality of these demos are getting better with each Next Fest and I found some truly great demos this time around. There's something here for everyone: 3D platformers, tactical RPGs, puzzle games, and even a cosplay game.

I've played some pretty great indie games lately, and instead of peppering your subscription feed with a million videos, I thought it'd be better to put them all in once place. From Utopia Must Fall to Blade Chimera, I've played a bunch of great indie games, demos, and prototypes.

IGF - the Independent Games Festival, part of GDC - is a yearly event dedicated to showing the best new and upcoming indie games. The finalists for this year's awards were recently announced, and I had to play some of them for myself. As usual, they knocked it out of the park with some truly great indie games.

Ruffy and the Riverside is an upcoming 3D platformer with a unique gameplay mechanic. I got the chance to play new demo early and got to try this unique feature firsthand, and experience the game's gorgeous art and animations as well.

Death of the Reprobate is an absurdist comedy from Joe Richardson, creator of The Procession to Calvary. Using actual medieval paintings, this is a point and click adventure game that is absolutely hilarious and worth a try.

2015 might be the biggest and most important year for indie games. It was the first time that multiple major indies released in a single year. Developers and publishers established themselves. Several big Kickstarter games released. And studios would have critical success but financial flops that would force them to be sold later down the line. We are still feeling the effects of 2015 ten years later.
