After using RPG Maker for 2 years, I feel ready to say... I like OHRRPGCE better.

It's way more flexible and easy to add custom stuff to.

Every week I post about new indie games that I think are really cool, often experimental and not on Steam. Maybe you'll discover a new game that you'll love.

I think an underrated book in this set is Épopée - Tales from French Game Developers. You get to read a bunch of interviews with developers of weird French DOS games (and some non-weird ones too I guess)

The new Secret Boss podcast episode is about Metal Slader Glory! secretboss.neocities.org

This incredibly sophisticated Famicom #VisualNovel took four years to make! When it came out, the Famicom had been replaced by the Super Famicom and almost no one played it... but it sure looks amazing!

Hi friends and JRPG people and seal fans and dinosaur people, one of my games is on sale on Steam for 40% off, come celebrate with me!! It's a game with lots of slime and ghosts. The world is distressed. Time is weird. No one's very comfortable.

With this drive I am opening up pitches for writing about the games and developers that have contributed to Indiepocalypse.

It's $200 for ~2 pages(~1k words ) with the only requirement be that it be about past contributors. (luckily there's ~700 of them)
