Where do you all get your (indie) gaming news from?

English

I really like thinkygames.com for puzzle games. I am looking for something similar keeping the indie game coverage but less specific to a genre.

Where do you guys get your news from?

Bonus points for interviews with developer/director and a RSS feed.

      I’ll shill up for skill up’s website that spun up from his ‘This Week in Gaming’. He has some great coverage on indie games and always dedicates a segment to ‘put this on your radar’.

      Paul Tassi from Forbes also has some really good takes and sources in the industry for those AAA games.

        aftermath.site is a great news source.

            SUPERJUMP is nonprofit, and they cover a lot of indie games.

                [email protected] on Peertube covers indie games. They made a video of indie gems over the summer sale and the ones I tried were great.

                    On that note, there was a site called ninja something as I recall about 10 years ago or so that I liked that would review and recommend indie games. I couldn’t find it recently. Anyone maybe knows or remembers what I am talking about?

                      Comment section of AA or AAA gaming news in r/games or r/pcgaming

                      I have a good track record with

                      “if you are interested in past AAA game like X, look at small y” comments from “decently acting” users

                        I follow GOG RSS feed, a good chunk of it is indie games (not just “old games”)

                          I like seeing the developers talk about the games they work on. They are on BlueSky social

                          I mainly like Toby fox’s account on there

                            Kitfox games has a YouTube channel where they show off a bunch of their current and upcoming games. Often videos by the developer themselves.

                            I don’t have a more general type site.

                              Best Indie Games youtube channel. Probably don’t need anything else but I also follow a few rss sites for game update news like Blue’s News, gamingonlinux.

                                Recently this channel came up in my feed. There’s a few like this, that will highlight interesting games on Steam that haven’t had much attention.

                                Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

                                Rules

                                1. Submissions have to be related to games

                                Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

                                This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

                                2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

                                No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

                                We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

                                3. No excessive self-promotion

                                Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

                                This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

                                4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

                                This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.

                                We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

                                5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

                                Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

                                No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

                                6. No linking to piracy

                                Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

                                We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
