Microsoft has just confirmed that the Xbox One will not allow developers to self publish their games, much like the 360 allowed before it. Xbox Live Indie Games will still exist in some form, but this section of the marketplace does not contain the financial incentives that the regular XBLA offers. In order to get a game listed in the XBLA, [...]

The developers of Monster Meltdown and Death Inc. have announced that due to financial reasons they will be closing the studios. According to their post on the official website, “ultimately we didn’t manage to make enough money to keep the wolves from the door. And so we had to make the difficult decision that it is no longer feasible for Ambient [...]

According to Edmund McMillen, Co-Creator of Team Meat, the rogue dungeon crawler The Binding of Isaac has sold over two million copies. The information was divulged during a recently conducted interview with YouTuber Northernlion.

Terraria, the hit Indie RPG action adventure crafting construction side-scroller (phew!) has become the first Xbox Live Arcade downloadable title to outsell the incredible weekly sales numbers of the behemoth Minecraft (which, at this point, would be almost unfair to call “indie”).

Sure you can find tons of stuff on the latest and greatest AAA titles while you are at PAX East, but the gems that really shine are the indie games that many people might quickly walk by without giving a second thought to.

Cargo Commander is that rare game that is completely and utterly summed up by its rather excellent title theme, Down the Drain. It’s a tune that permeates every part of the game—it plays in your home container, you can hear it in the distance as you race through disintegrating offices, and the game over screen uses it as an utterly [...]

Inquisitor tells you a lot about the game from its name alone. The game asks one major question through its setting, a hellish medieval world where demons and devils are quite real. That question is simple: if the 12th century inquisition was right about how thousands of witches and devil worshippers were summoning agents of Satan into the world, would [...]

Might and Delight’s Pid tells the tale of a young school boy named Kurt, who is swept off to a faraway land full of mystery, danger, and delight. After a modest introduction told via a brief slide-show of colorful art frames, Pid drops players onto an unknown planet, starting a journey of exploration and discovery.

The amazingly tense side-scrolling survival-horror game Lone Survivor is coming to the Playstation 3 and the Vita, according to creator Jasper Byrne. There’s no release date yet, but Curve Studios is hard at work on the port, coding it from the bottom up; they also plan on adding French and German translations.

The product of indie developer Benjamin Rivers, Home is a horror game that will keep you thinking about it long after it’s over.

While some may argue that this approach [...]
