Issue #4 is live! Happy Halloween freaks! indiecorner.glizzy.au/issue4
Four gaming nuffies thought itโ€™d be a good idea to bring back the glory days of gaming magazines. And if reading isnโ€™t your thing, donโ€™t worry. Itโ€™s digital. Weโ€™ve got trailers. Pictures. So you donโ€™t even have to read a paragraph, but, Iโ€™d highly recommend it. Youโ€™ve probably never read an article like it. So if ya sitting there reading this post, stop wasting your time here and go read our magazine instead. Weโ€™ve covered the best games to check out for Halloween. Please. Our mums can only generate so many views. indiecorner.glizzy.au/issue4

Void Inc is additively unnerving, especially for someone like me that spent their career in corporate work. Very Severance-Coded Iโ€™m excited to talk to @samtechcoded about this one soon! This could be really something special

If you want to support a solo dev from New Zealand, working his evenings away on this, keep reading.. Void Inc is in Next Fest & it's a workplace management sim with creeping horror. It's pretty good, too (and I'm not biased at all!) Thank you all ๐Ÿซถ Link in the replies!

I don't know about you, but I love having a puzzle to solve, whether it's a murder mystery or a simple jigsaw. Cozy or perplexing, Steam Next Fest has tons of puzzle games to keep your mind occupied! Devs in the comments, go download some demos! ๐Ÿ‘‡ thenerdytype.com/post/10-perโ€ฆ

Nicholas Cage speaks about Backrooms saying that nothing has affected him like Backrooms has. What a compliment to receive! Video from Fan Expo @fanexpodallas on TikTok.

We're playing this now! Let's see how this goes.
The culmination of late nights, systems rewrites, painting textures on my tablet, drawing crappy pictures on paper, going over every detail twice, testing every part 5000 times.. Void Inc Demo is live on Steam, see replies! Please send as much support as you can, I need it!

The original source code for Ultima VII: The Black Gate has been decompiled! This is a huge milestone because the source for the original game was lost many decades ago. The author, Kitrinx, has stated that decompiling Serpent Isle is next! github.com/Kitrinx/Ultima7_Dโ€ฆ

I've seen a few indie devs questioning whether a demo is worth it lately, and the only answer I can give is yes; and not just because that's how I cover most of your games at TNT, either. ๐Ÿ˜… Demos are the only way for players to truly get a feel for a game themselves before buying it. Without demos, we only have other people's content to go off, and everyone is different. Demos are also a great way to get feedback from the people who are interested in what you're making, which can help you enormously in the long run. So yes, if you can and you want to, release the demo. ๐Ÿ’œ And trust that I will find it if you do, because I am apparently a demo fiend. ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ‘€

I hate asking for help, and I'm spectacularly bad at promoting myself, but here's the awkward reminder that I have a Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/paulavaynshteyn TNT doesn't make me any money and I don't have a day job, so if you enjoy what I do and ever want to throw a couple of quid towards keeping me caffeinated while I yell about indie games, you can. There is absolutely zero expectation to do so. Reading, sharing, or even just occasionally going โ€œhey Paula, you'd like this weird gameโ€ already means a lot to me. ๐Ÿ’œ And now I'm going to go and hide from the internet and deal with the shame of plugging myself. ๐Ÿซฃ
