What Indieformer is
Indieformer is a curated indie game newsletter. Every month we publish Showcase — fully released titles worth your time — and Indievelopment — games still being made that are worth following. When we find something that deserves a deeper look, we publish Frontline: one game, developer, or trend explored properly.
We only cover games we believe in. If it's in Indieformer, it earned the spot. We also publish games. And run a game jam. Because reading about indie games was never going to be enough.
Two monthly editions.
One when something demands it.
One when something demands it.
Every issue covers games we'd personally recommend. The format depends on where the game is.
Showcase
Monthly
Fully released titles
Games that are out and worth your time right now. Not everything — just the ones we'd
actually tell a friend about.
Indievelopment
Monthly
Games in the making
Early access games & Kickstarters worth following. Find the ones worth backing
before they blow up.
Frontline
When it's earned
Deep dives
One game, developer, or trend — when we find something worth going deep on. Less
frequent. Worth the wait.

✦ Indieformer Publishing
We don't just cover games. We back them.
Our publishing arm supports indie developers we believe in — with an audience already looking for their next obsession. Currently: Feed the Scorchpot — a cozy-chaotic tabletop roguelike about dice, dragons, and 20 years of increasingly desperate cooking. On Kickstarter now.

Patch Notes — our game jam
For broken ideas and beautiful messes. Open to everyone — players, developers, and people
who've never made a game before. 500 entries and counting.
