📢 NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT 📢 We're making a cozy, chaotic puzzle game where you transform, combine, and BREAK items to arrange them to fit the grid. No matter what, everything MUST fit! Wishlist Everything MUST Fit! on Steam!

There are 70 games on this list, all worth trying this Next Fest. No slop. Devs are tagged where possible, every Steam page is linked, I've made this easy for you. If you want to be on the second list that may or may not be coming, hit me up.

Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros. and Kirby, is warning that AI could lead to a flood of unoriginal games. Sakurai points out that Steam has gone from around 275 game releases a year in 2010 to more than 19,000 today “AI can create games, but it can’t create something truly original.” Sakurai also argues that originality means creating something players don’t even know they want yet. He uses Fumito Ueda as an example, saying AI could imitate the style of games like ICO or Shadow of the Colossus, but it wouldn’t know what Ueda himself would create next.

Really enjoyed playing this and solving the puzzles with chat! 🧩 You can truly see and feel the care the devs put into every detail—the art, the music, the vibes are all top tier ✨

Play it!! One of my favourites so far

I don't have much to add to the Steam Next Fest discourse besides what's already been said, but with 8000 games and LOTS of AI games, it's rough if you're looking for a human-made game by a small team of passionate individuals, it would mean a lot if you checked out our demo ⬇️

We desperately need Steam to let us filter out AI games. Force devs to tag their games with an AI tag so we can opt out of seeing AI games on our feed, just like we can opt out of seeing Adult Only games. Probably go from 8k demos to a couple hundred.

I love watching people play our demo because it's so fun to see how differently people solve puzzles there have been a few times where I've seen solutions that I didn't know were possible 🤣

I helped my mom download Steam so she could play our demo, but it was late last night so after a couple of levels, I started to tell her how to quit so she could play the next day, and then she said "nonononono, I want to keep playing" and played 7 more levels 😅🤣

✨puzzle lovers! you'll love this one - store.steampowered.com/app/4…

btw I got married 🥰 announcing a new game, releasing a demo, AND getting married within a month wasn't the best choice for my stress 🤣😭 but I did all of them and it all worked out, yay!

I’ve pushed an update for the demo with various bug and UI fixes, and now the story intro doesn’t auto-play and it requires you to click through (so you don’t miss any text!) Thanks everyone for the feedback so far! It’s been super positive and reminds me of why I make games 😁

I played the Everything MUST Fit! demo and I absolutely LOVED it @janbehchanbeh thank you for the opportunity to play the game early! 🩷

Recently played the demo for Everything MUST Fit! from @janbehchanbeh I loved seeing some new mechanics that I hadn't seen before in these cozy puzzle games 🔗Below #IndieGame #IndieDev #Review #SteamNextFest

I got a chance to check out the Everything Must Fit demo by @janbehchanbeh and it is so adorable and too short! I want more and I want it now. Can’t wait until we get a release date! youtu.be/w7XjUUVoCuU
