Chancler Harrison recalls his time working on Echoes of Eternea vividly. “My work involved 100’s of hours with the promise of getting paid once the project was released,” he wrote in a March 2016 Imgur post. “Stupid, I know,” Harrison later told me over email….
In Hypernova, you play as the Scynthians, an alien race that is fleeing its crumbling home planet in search of a new spot in the galaxy to call home. But as you already know, there are no roads or bridges connecting various planets beyond the…
Last week, we covered the backer backlash of the latest Obduction controversy. This time it was in regards to the physical “special edition box” that Cyan promised back during the Kickstarter. Finally, several days after publishing that piece they responded with a backer-only update. Needless…
A few weeks ago, Indie Megaboth, a conglomeration of indie game developers who come together to present their games at large expos, announced they were holding a public event at E3 2017. This year’s E3 is notable in that it’s the first ever open to…

Fallout: New Vegas is the greatest game of all time. Anyone who disagrees is wrong. Those who say it’s a bad game should be put in jail. Anyone who thinks it’s not as good as Fallout 3 or 4, well… let’s just say those people…

After crushing its Kickstarter funding goal back in 2014, Alonso Martin’s Metroidvania RPG, Heart Forth, Alicia fell off our radar for a few years. Despite being several years overdue, the campaign is still updating semi-regularly with the game’s progress. Elite Tier backers get to test the…
