A weekly magazine of upcoming indie games on Steam, put together by one person who also makes games. Every game that prints has been looked at by a person first. Nothing here is a ranking by money.
How a game gets in
A cheap set of rules clears out what is plainly filler, a system reads each remaining game (does the art look generated, is it a copy of another game, what makes it different), and the editor decides. A game is featured once.
Labels you will see
- Sponsored. A developer paid for the placement. It must already be a certified game, and it is always marked. There are at most two in an issue.
- From the editor's studio. A game made by the person who runs this magazine. It is only ever an ordinary pick, at most one an issue, never on the cover, and it is not pushed by anyone's taste: it is shown the same way to every reader.
Anything without a label is there because it earned the place.
