The Council has convened to discussed the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct and it's indie features! What did we think? We also dive into BAFTA winners, Blue Prince hype, and what we've been playing.

The post-event energy is real in today’s episode of The Indie Council. We rally to share our experiences and the games that caught our eye across GDC’s various showcases, events, and talks. Of course, indies never stop so we have plenty of games we’ve been playing to shout from the rooftops as well.

A new member of The Council steps forward in this week's episode: Haley MacLean! She's ready to object to our bad indie takes and walk us through what a publishing agreement looks like in 2025. Then we make Jenny blush with our thoughts on Wanderstop.Find The Podcast On:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/70IeWKJ... Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, The Council gathers to suggest some love-themed indies for all occasions. We've got games for falling in love, for getting spicy, for heartbreak, for crying your heart out, and some extra special titles for the sickos out there.Follow everyone at:@[email protected]@[email protected]@theindiecouncil.com

Today, The Council convenes to talk about the problem of indie game imitators before brightening up the conversation with a slew of fantastic titles we've been playing.

For our 50th council session (already?!) it's a doozy! We've got news of the Earthblade game cancelation and we also take time to answer some questions about best practices for media and press outreach.

Welcome back to a bright new year of indies! In this first episode of 2025, we get the train going off the rails. The Council weighs in on Award nominees and game news to kick things off. Then we plummet into an unhinged list of 2025 predictions for a nigh-unwinnable game of bingo.

The final verdit for 2024 is here: what games made the official Indie Council top 10, and who will win our custom accolades (like The Kool-Aid Man award and May 9th Game of the Year)?
