Indie Game Roundup - March 2025 feat. Jacob McCourt

1 hour 33 minutes

Welcome back to the NSG Indie Game Roundup, our monthly series featuring indie games news, plus game demos and new release discussions.

Welcome special guest Jacob McCourt to No Small Games! We were delighted to have Jacob join us for our March Indie Game Roundup episode. First, we dug into indie game news from the past month, and discussed winter showcase season. These showcases came in with a bang and none of us were prepared for the deluge of exciting game announcements. Then, we moved on to our main event: Steam Next Fest demos! We each shared our 5 favorite demos from February's Steam Next Fest. Get your wishlists out, people, you're gonna want to keep your eye on these 15 upcoming indies!

Also, huge thanks to our newest Patreon supporters! In addition to other fun perks, members on Patreon get early access to all of the Indie Game Roundup episodes.
