Old photo from the PSM days. Debug PS2s were so temperamental that we had to give them names to reflect their personalities. They all had their own quirks and flaws and weird sounds they made. Some would run certain games, others wouldn't. Not pictured: Tom Cruise, the one that always worked.

First test print of the upcoming issue 5 cover just arrived! It’s hard to communicate just how great it looks and feels in person, but for now here’s a quick video! 🦄

A record-breaking 19,003 games were released on Steam in 2024 - up from 14,309 in 2023.

Game release competition continues ballooning year-on-year, with fewer than 500 released back in 2013.

Did a post over on LinkedIn regarding gaming events and how much effort it is to run them, and that you really should support them the best you can, before they are all gone.

2 hours left!

Honestly, we don’t expect to cross the finishing line at this point, but we’d love to know how much interest there is for attempt #2

Can we be cheeky and ask for a share? Maybe, just maybe… We can do this!

Apparently developers are being put off submitting their games for the Debug Indie Game Awards because they assume we charge for nominations and/or trophies…

Apparently many other awards ceremonies charge quite a lot of money 🤔

To be clear, entering a game for our awards costs absolutely nothing!
FAQ: How much do your physical trophies cost? Zero!

If you win an award, you own the trophy. It won’t cost you a penny.

Wow a quarter of the way there - thanks so much to everyone who's backed the Debug Annual so far x
Thank you so so so much to everyone who has helped us make this a reality so far…

This is a biggie! Literally! A 220-page Debug annual, hardback, over half of it is brand new content (it's essentially more than a whole new issue) plus expanded features from previous issues, reviews for games we missed and so much more! But we need your help to make it happen.
