The Indie Houses Direct just finished airing, bringing together seven different indie publishers (Akupara Games, Fellow Traveller, Neon Doctrine, Raw Fury, Those Awesome Guys, Toge Productions, and Whitethorn Games) to share their bounty of game news over the course of an hour.
"When indie games succeed, video games succeed," said Sarah Johanna of Toge Productions, and the message was echoed by the other studios, as the Direct intended to bring greater discoverability to their stable of indies by combining their might as publishers.

Yay, kingdom dlc, there goes another 100 hours.
That reminds me that I really need to finish Coffee Talk someday. Really enjoyed what I played.
Oh, and more Kingdom Two Crowns is always a good thing!
The wallet is safe.
Like somnambulance said, gotta finish the first Coffee Talk. Darkside Detective too.
Lamentum is on the wishlist and I've been keeping an eye on Suzerain. Lot of variety in here lol
So many amazing-looking passion projects. If only I had the time to play them all!
new Coffee Talk?? YES PLEASE! Coffee Talk is like VA-11-HALL-A, but better!
also happy to see Calico still getting love 😻
I think of Linda Richman when I hear "coffee talk." Yes, I'm old.
Lost Castle update seems to exclusive to pc hasn’t received any update or the dlc since it’s release LOL even though it’s been advertised as including all content right on the store page. Oh well
Lamentum does look amazing. I have a huge soft spot for 2D pixel art horror games.
Onsen Master speaks to me. I must have it.
Really wish they would do a physical of Darkside Detective 2, loved the first one.
"Move or Die" is a song by YOUR SONG IS GOOD off of the THE ReACTION EP, released way back in 2008. I'm pretty sure that means nothing to anyone here, but I read the name of that game and the song was immediately stuck in my head for the rest of my life. It's a good song (and EP). And then the album THE ACTION came out later that month and it's still one of my favorite albums of all time. Anyway... yeah. I kind of want to buy Move or Die for the name alone so I hope it's good.
