I know there are a million of these posts out there, but I would absolutely love to do editing/writing on indie games and can give samples/recommendations, so please hit me up!
ALT Hey folks,
As we get further into November I just want to be transparent about our plans for the coming months. Once this month ends, we will no longer be accepting pitches for the foreseeable future. This includes our annual letter series, which unfortunately wonβt be happening this year.
As much as I care about this work and want to continue it, the fact of the matter is Iβm pretty much completely burnt out, disillusioned, and way understaffed and underfunded. I need to walk away for the time being for my own sake.
The site is going to stay up, nothing will be deleted or lost. But no new commissioned work after November will be happening for a while. I may post occasionally as I feel inclined, but that will be the extent. Indie Mixtape will continue, and hopefully find a home somewhere else. The Patreon will be shutting down.
Thank you to everyone who supported me/us over the years. It has meant a ton to us and helped us to make at least a small impact during our time in op
The Patreon will be shutting down. Thank you to everyone who supported me/us over the years. It has meant a ton to us and helped us to make at least a small impact during our time in operation.
Please support the small sites that are still around, like Into the Spine, Start Menu, DEEPHELL, no escape, and try to find others like them.
Bye for now,

Two years ago @tamoorh asked the video games industry to break its silence on Palestine.
Today, as Gaza is being reduced to dust and rubble, and as thousands of innocent Palestinians lay dead, he's making that plea once again.

The video's not even been up for an hour and we're almost at the halfway point for the fundraiser's target! I have a feeling we're going to smash right past it...
It's Halloween season baybee! We're celebrating all month, starting with our first Indie Mixtape episode of the month featuring some very scary indie games:
How Fish is Made
Amanda the Adventurer
HEXCRAFT: Harlequin Fair
Let's MEAT Adam
FAITH: The Unholy Trinity

New Indie Mixtape is out! (Apologies for the audio goof this weekend, if you got a weirdly short Mixtape ep in your podcatcher, redownload for the full ep!!!) uppercutcrit.com/41-an-oceanβ¦
"Instead of Stray Gods treating Medusa as the victim she is, and trying to provide a path to redemption/healing that the other, frankly worse, Idols get, it instead flirts with compassion for the gorgon, while ultimately abandoning her as a lost cause."
