HPP: I hadn’t heard of Bit Bash until I moved to Chicago. While it is a smaller event, it still manages to showcase independent game developers from around the world. Bit Bash brings the gaming community together to show the creative side of video games. This year’s event was held in Chicago’s West Loop on Saturday, August 13. The space itself was an open-but-finished warehouse setting with white walls where the games were projected. More than 50 games were on display, and I had the opportunity to give a bunch of them a try.
FuRuy has opened a Twitter account called “Project Alice” teasing a new game announcement on April 25 at 20:30 JST.

That’s why we’re happy to announce the newest Limited Edition Xbox Wireless Controller and Wireless Headset collection, featuring inspired designs from Forza Horizon 6. The bright cyan and lime colorways celebrate the Horizon Festival’s recognition of iconic cars and hit music, with special features that are sure to impress any collector."
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
I love events like these. Indie devs pour their heart and soul into their releases, so it's great to see them resonate so well with audiences like this.
