- The first highlights email of full 2026 releases! We have been treated well to the beginning of this year, it's going to be a good one. Read the highlights here → www.indieformer.com/p/showcase0126
- Extremely proud to say I put this trailer together myself for our upcoming game. A lot of creativity to try and bring a single-view board to life! Feed the Scorchpot is now live with a free demo, would love for you to give it a crack! store.steampowered.com/app/4338170/...
- Just finished adding a bunch of new indie game releases for Jan/Feb. Go have a peek at some gems coming out in the next 30 days! → waypoint.indieformer.com
- It feels too quick to move on from 2025, but alas we're here. 2026. Last year I collected as many interesting titles as I could find coming out, so here's a list of stuff you should keep an eye on, or maybe even wishlist. www.indieformer.com/p/upcoming-i...
- We all know what the "biggest" games of 2025 were. I don't need to mention Hades II or Silksong (oops lol). So here's a list of games that are just as great, but maybe missed your radar. Full piece: www.indieformer.com/p/best-indie... Keep going for the 🧵
- Öoo (@namataka.bsky.social) This textless masterclass reinvents platforming, challenging you to traverse a mysterious world solely through the explosive physics of a bomb-wielding caterpillar. store.steampowered.com/app/2721890/...
- Algorithms are great for engagement (sometimes). They’re terrible for taste. This year, we added 160+ Showcase titles to Waypoint. Curated all of them, and picked them based on pure personal taste. 🤌 Here's a handpick of the handpick from 2025 → www.indieformer.com/p/best-indie...
- I spent WEEKS curating games last year, and it would be a shame to not share some indies worth looking at. I present: A thread that took me more time than I'd like to admit to prepare (2025 indies you missed):
- While everyone recounts their GOTY, we wanted to shine a light on the underground first. We just released a whopper of a list covering 2025's hidden gems. I guarantee there is at least one game here you haven't heard of. Support the micro homies → www.indieformer.com/p/hidden-gem...
- Our final Showcase for the year is here. Quieter, but that just means more spotlights on some killer games. There are a few special emails this month: 2025 hidden gems you definitely missed, and our top picks. Have a read, and sign up for the special emails! www.indieformer.com/p/showcase1225
- 2026 is going to be massive—Indieformer is releasing its FIRST published game! But before we get there, I want to channel that energy into our next game jam: Patch Notes v1.1. And this time we’re putting up cash prizes, directly from our own pockets. 💸
- Are you releasing a game this December? I'm on the look out for more we can add to Waypoint (our live indie calendar), so let me know ↓
- People are really eating up the newsletters lately, just over a day later with a great open rate! Have a browse of the latest in Early Access → www.indieformer.com/p/indievelop...

- I’ve been playing for like 30 mins and Pokémon hits me with this existential bullet right up front. bro… 🥲
- It's time for a sale! 🤠 But not our sale — I have nothing to sell you — except for a completely free, hand-picked calendar of great indie gems. There's always a sale on somewhere (yes we mark which games are on sale), so go support a game dev! waypoint.indieformer.com
- Not something I’d normally post, but I’m a human too. My wife gave birth only 48 hours ago, and we’re settling right back at home adjusting to keeping another human safe and sound. It can be hard to pause for a moment to take in the whirlwind around us. Everything still running as normal 🥰
- I had a great chat with @sotodev.bsky.social about his upcoming handcrafted shooting, Cardboard Cowboy. He was fortunate enough to secure $100,000 USD from @blueoceangames.bsky.social to get this out into the world. Give it a read (and a playtest) → www.indieformer.com/p/cardboard-...

- First position in the bookmark bar is a very serious accolade
- Culling is part of the game, and it sucks. But I will try my best to not have an unengaged email list. We already had a ~40% open rate before this cull, so I'm keen to see if that number goes up. Back to the 2000 readers who love the wraps up we're making.
