I understand this is just a teaser, but I hope you do make a habit of going into more detail about the indie games you're looking at in future installments. This is a promising premise.
Absolutely! The teasers included here are just a sample of what I've been spending pretty much every single hour of my personal time playing recently. I'm planning to have the first full entry up this week, but I'm still deciding which of the games to feature.
Sometimes, we'll be talking about just one game, which will likely be 400-600 words, to offer a bit more detail on the experience. I'll also likely be doing some roundups, like, for example, "4 Couch Co-Op Indies That Will Make You Hate Your Friends" and stuff along those lines. Details for each would be shorter, 300ish words, but would allow us to show off several games at once, if they fit nicely together.
Full disclosure: This series is not about critique. We might mention things we don't like about a game, but the series is exclusively for games we're enjoying, rather than indie titles we want to offer harsh criticism of. I'm firmly of the opinion that garbage indie games don't deserve coverage, good or bad, since they're responsible for the ever-increasing difficulty in finding the good ones. There are way too many good ones to waste time bashing the bad ones anyways.
As I mentioned in the article, if you've got suggestions, shoot us a note at
[email protected] with some specifics, and I'll check it out!
