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...
