1 game to prove I know
what I'm talking about.
I'm Josh. I've been running Indieformer for twelve years — a newsletter, a YouTube channel, a game jam, a lot of opinions about what indie games deserve more attention. Now I'm publishing one.
Feed the Scorchpot is the first game I've bet my reputation on. No budget. No big publisher machine. Just me, Clem, a developer we trust, and twelve years of taste on the line.
Indieformer started as a side project in 2013. Twelve years later it's a newsletter, a YouTube channel, a release tracker, a game jam — and now a tiny publishing arm. Every month we ship Showcase (released titles worth your time) and Indievelopment (games still being made that are worth following). When something deserves a longer look, we publish Frontline: one game, one developer, one idea — explored properly.
Editorial rule, day one: only games we'd recommend to a friend. If it's in Indieformer, it earned the spot. That rule applies to the games we publish too — which is a strange and slightly terrifying line to walk. More on that below.
One when something demands it.
