Just had the opportunity to play void inc by @samtechcoded I can’t believe the demo ended there! What a cliffhanger! Honestly the amount of detail was insane. Man what a game that will be when it’s out!

DEMO DAZE 2 IS TOMORROW! We're going LIVE at 5:30 AM ET for another all-day indie demo adventure! We've got a solid lineup ready, a pile of games waiting behind them, and absolutely no idea how many we'll get through. If a game grabs us, WE STAY. Follow this thread tomorrow as we jump into each game! Indie devs, there's still room for more. Got a demo? DROP IT BELOW!

Everyone good? We know things are tough out there right now. Indie games have never been an easy place to make a living, but lately it feels as though there is even more pressure. Developers trying to finish games, studios worrying about what comes next, artists and composers looking for work, publishers making difficult decisions, marketing teams trying to get games seen, and plenty of people quietly wondering whether all the effort is going to pay off. So, with the weekend nearly here, this is simply a message from us at IGD to say: look after yourselves. Switch off for a bit if you can. Step away from the build. Stop refreshing the numbers. Leave the emails until Monday. Play a game because you want to play it. Spend some time with the people who matter to you, get outside, have a lie-in, watch something rubbish, or do absolutely nothing productive. Whatever you didn't manage to finish this week will still be there. IGD has been around indie games for a long time, and one thing that has never changed is that behind every game, studio, project, trailer, press release and social post is a person. Sometimes things go brilliantly. Sometimes a game doesn't find the audience it deserves. Sometimes opportunities disappear, projects stall, money gets tight or you simply have a bad week. You don't have to pretend every week has been a good one. We're all part of the same corner of the games industry, so let's keep looking out for one another. Have a good weekend when it gets here. We're going to play some of the Indie Games we've bought and added to our library and get back to it fresh on Monday.

SANDBOX SPOTLIGHT #008 Ever wanted to run an office where EVERYTHING is your problem? We got our hands on a demo key for Void Inc. from The Occult Arcade, and this was a cool take on office life! Assign work, hire staff, manage everyone's workload, and tackle minigames to keep the business running. What I really enjoyed was how the difficulty ramped up as the days went on. Just when I thought I had things figured out, the game demanded more! It kept the minigames fresh and made getting through each day feel rewarding. Oh, and you know there's more going on at this company than just office work. . . @samtechcoded tell The Sandbox something about Void Inc. we wouldn't learn from the Steam page! Sandbox, how long do you think YOU could keep this office running? (video from my playing/audio added by me)
