Now that I am fully organized to unload the last six months worth of extra keys, I'm getting antsy.

So, I thought I'd put up my retired keys list here with the following caveats.

- Max two requests per person.
- No brand new accounts.
- Please only request things you would redeem yourself or pass on to a friend or family member.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13Vkg4oknfIh6Nxqoea_tdXlBBsE-58ZvvbEW-k5_Lio/edit?usp=sharing

DISCLAIMER: These keys should all work. I can't promise that though.

It shouldn't be a hot take, or even need be a take at all, that a narrow DCC / OSR bubble is a mismatch to expectations when something is labeled broadly as an indie RPG creator event.

It’s the first of December and this year is coming to an end. Hope it’s been going well for you all. There was some really exciting stuff this week.

Not indie game related, unless you count indie game soundtracks, but today is Bandcamp Friday so consider buying some music. Spotify really doesn’t pay anything and buying music (or at least use a streaming service that pays better royalties) is the only way they can really keep doing this for a living.

Going to the Store for Baby Formula at 6AM on Black Friday
Going to the Store for Baby Formula at 6AM on Black Friday is a good and very relatable Bitsy game for any parent.

The Lawnmower Man
In the early 90s it felt like the film adaptation of The Lawnmower Man had a video game on every single platform so it makes me happy that there is now one for PICO-8.

Annie May – Pixcrew
Rose has made a ton of great character creators and the newest one is worth your time too.

Markus Ritter – Ghosts of the Past
Markus Ritter – Ghosts of the Past is a FMV point-and-click adventure game described by the developers on the Steam page as “queer cheesy trash” and that is a 100% accurate description. Fortunately I am a goblin for FMV trash, especially ones inspired by Gabriel Knight 2, so this is absolutely for me. That said, it is EXTREMELY cheesy and might be too much for some people, so I would maybe recommend playing the free prequel game first to see if it’s your thing.

Madvent Calendar 4 – End of the Line
Since it’s December, we also have a new Madvent calendar from the HauntedPS1 community. Every year they release a free anthology of small horror games with a Playstation 1 aesthetic, with a new one unlocked each day. They’re really nice collections and it’s impressive that they manage to put together one of these every year and for free.

I attended the #Canberra Museum and Games tonight and had a look at a ton of local, indie games - both video, board and card.

I managed to play Get Down II, Salvage, Mark's Magnificent Marble Maze, CheesePunk!

We spoke to some of the developers behind the games, (one of whom was a former #CubScout with me), and had a great time.

Though space was tight, it was a well run event and I hope they got a lot of exposure.

It’s Itch.io’s Creators Day, where they aren’t taking a cut from sales today. I’ve put all my paid games in a little bundle you can pick up if you want some solo TTRPGs.

Shannon McMaster has a cool and free system-neutral guide to hex crawling in time dimensions for your tabletop rpg.

Misty has a great post on Cohost about all the games she enjoyed playing while judging for the Independent Games Festival.

Hand Eye Society’s Super FESTival is still going on. Check out all the great talks and indie games going on.

Goose has made a very good demake for the Game Boy of a game they previously made a decade before for a game jam.

James Chip has a new solo journaling game set in space. It’s based off their previous game The Adventurer and seems very cool.

The results of this year’s IFComp were just announced and as usual, it’s another great batch of interactive fiction games that are worth your time.

In Stars and Time looks like a very nice time loop rpg that’s now available on Steam.

There’s a new Indie Tsushin, highlighting indie games from Japan.

Tristam Island is now open source and released under a Creative Commons license. It seems like a great reference if you’re looking to build a text adventure game in PunyInform for retro platforms.

GIGA FALL and DEPTH: ORIGIN by 四季 Game Studio: The former is a game where you protect the earth from meteors using an ENORMOUS laser (playable in browser on itch and on mobile) that oscillates back and forth between shots. The latter is releasing in 2024 and is a kind of rhythm shooting game (think Necrodancer where everything moves to the beat, including your attacks)

The Revenge of Tungsten by 魔女の脳: Interesting and atmospheric bullet hell where enemy bullets turn invisible when you are shooting. The key is to observe and remember enemy patterns, then weave around them to take down enemies. Environments and story is also pretty interesting
