Indiescovery Episode 6: What the heck is an indie game anyway?One of the biggest questions in gaming, resolved in 30 minutes or less
One of the biggest questions in gaming, resolved in 30 minutes or less
In our sixth episode, the Indiescovery gang belatedly turn our attention to the question of just what the heck we’re doing here anyway. The issue of “what makes an indie game an indie game?” is full of twists and turns, and nobody has ever really come up with an answer that covers all the bases. Lucky for us, that’s not really what we’re talking about here, although we do use that as a jumping-off point for our chat.

Episode Notes
Rachel and I have both been playingAnemoiapolis: Chapter 1and spend some time comparing notes. Rachel has also been playingParanormasight— a horror visual novel from Square Enix and therefore not technically indie but with some vibes an indie-loving audience will no doubt appreciate — andThe Pale Beyond, aFrostpunk-esque narrative survival game set on a boat. We love boat horror here at Indiescovery!
As always, we close things out with our latest batch of hyperfixations. Liam still wants to talk aboutResident Evil 4, and truly, who can blame him when his favourite game of all time just got a remake that lives up to the original? He’s also been binge-listening toLet’s Make A Rom-Com, a new podcast from the team behind last year’s Let’s Make A Sci-Fi, in which a trio of comedians bring in expert advice to help them write a Hollywood-grade movie script.
I, meanwhile, have been non-stop crying with joy ever since Everything Everywhere All At Once cleaned up at the Oscars, so elect to shout out some of my favourite video game fan art Twitter accounts to browse for a quick emotional pick-me-up, includingPaula Peroff,Kiana Mai,Johnson Blazkowicz,Nastia Croft, andAngie M.
