Indie Games Plus

Welcome to the Patreon for <a href="https://indiegamesplus.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Indie Games Plus</a>, a site to celebrate unique, creative, fun, personal, and passionate indie games!Our passion is in covering indie games and the creative processes that go into creating them. Our goal is to promote the variety, inclusivity, and heart that is poured into these works. If your work is pushing the boundaries of what games can be, tells a personal story in a way only you can, is striving to make the world better through play, or is just your own way of spreading fun in the world, we want to know about it!No matter how small your work is, no matter how new you are to game development, and no matter how niche the work seems, we want you to tell us all about it! We are constantly on the lookout for compelling digital experiences and want to know more about the creative processes, meanings, passion, and emotions that go into the work of artists worldwide. So don't be shy to reach out at igpluseditors@gmail.com!And don't concern yourself about whether your work is new or not. Whether it is coming out today or ten years ago, we feel interesting works deserve to shine and get people playing them. So, don't worry about that release date! Just share your work with us! Even if you didn't create the game and just saw something neat you want to share, feel free to reach out.As for who we are, we are Joel, Jupiter, and Dann! Between us, we have several decades of experience covering games, and all of us have a deep love for small artists trying to create something special.<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/joelcouture.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">I'm Joel</a>!
