This is a update from my last blog post, announcing my IndieGoGo project IGI.
Our Kickstarter project ended the other day, but that doesn't mean we've given up! We've re-launched our campaign over on IndieGoGo! https://www.indiegogo.com/p...
For those of you aren't aware, IGI is intended to be a one-stop destination website for indie gaming news, reviews and information. The goal with this project is to create a website that provides gamers with the best source to discover indie titles, and to help indie developers by providing them with an unparalleled platform from which to get their games noticed.
How Our Site Will Function: The Indie Game Informer website will offer a simple and intuitive layout. Users will of course be able to access articles, reviews, features, editorials and developer interviews all from the front page, and have discussions with other users in a on-site comment section.
Our on site Indie Game Database will allow for gamers to discover old and new indie titles, that many users may otherwise not have known about, and if all goes according to plan we want to allow you to access and play those indie games directly from our site.
With our planned purchase of improved video and audio equipment, we intend to start uploading a weekly indie gaming segment where we will discuss current/popular events that have transpired during the past week.
We also plan to head over to various indie gaming focussed expo's and events, where we will conduct interviews with developers and bring viewers the latest on the indie gaming scene.
However, making all intended content and features available at the sites launch, will simply be too much of a task for our limited team. We do however plan to have all basic features available within the first 3 months of our site going live. Features such as news, reviews, interviews with indie devs and our steadily growing Indie Game Database.
Planned Features For Our Website: Thanks to numerous indie developers and the kind people we've spoken with on various social media sites, we would like to announce a few new features we have planned for the Indie Game Informer website.
At first, Indie Game Informer was intended to be a Indie gaming news, reviews and information website. A place where people could visit to read reviews on indie titles, discover new and old games and have discussions with like minded people.
But as we got to talking with various indie devs over twitter and Facebook, we learned that there are many other features we could offer that other sites simply don't have. Such as, a dedicated forum for indie devs to share and discuss their projects, and receive development support from experienced developers and professionals.
Further more. As well as our planned Database for all current and up-and coming indie titles, if we were fortunate to receive enough funding we would like very much to host indie games directly from our site (DRM Free of course) similar to how Desura functions.
The aim of Indie Game Informer has always been to build a one-stop destination website, which means you can expect our website be constantly growing. Any and all features or services, that we are unable to make available at the time of our sites launch will be integrated at a later date.
If we can reach our funding goal, we will immediately set about developing the Indie Game Informer website, and once complete we plan to offer the NO.1 source for all things indie gaming. The funding will allow us to create a fully functional, professionally designed gaming website, which will include Interviews with indie developers, indie gaming news, reviews and information, as well as a weekly round up of current events in the indie gaming scene.
Further web content will include:
Features on upcoming games
Indie news, reviews and contests
User generated blogs and reviews
Database of current and upcoming Indie games
On-site interactive discussions
News & updates regarding all things indie gaming
This is a collaborative effort between myself a video game journalist, and my brother a game programmer/English teacher. Both of us have worked together as indie game developers ourselves in the past and have come together once again to realise this dream project.

Thank you so much to those of you who believed in our project! I hope you will continue to support us over on IndieGoGo
And thank you for checking out my blog, if you have any questions about the project please feel free to leave a comment bellow.
Today, Square Enix revealed several details of "Evercold", the next expansion coming for its popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV.
Interesting. I will try the base game free trial when it comes out. I heard you can try the it as long as you want with Lvl 70 cap.
The Weight of Knowledge quest chain in Crimson Desert is a part of the Hernand Commissions faction quests at the Scholastone Institute in Hernand.
The Indie Live Expo Spring 2026 Showcase happened, and the Indie Spotlight segment of the event included plenty of reveals and world premieres.
Indie gaming development and news definitely needs a bigger voice. I hope this will succeed so that indie development will indeed have that voice.
I'd visit an indie games site with zerocrossing involved.
btw, update your "about" section :)
The intro and the ending of the youtube video discourages me immediately from funding the campaign. It's unprofessional. Good luck with the campaign though.
