Indie games can tend to be underrepresented, but not here at Shacknews. We love our indie games. We love them so much that we have a show dedicated entirely to playing them. To that end, the host of the show, Shacknews News Editor TJ Denzer, put together a special panel to discuss indie games and how the space is performing and how it’s changed in 2021. Please, take a look at the video below!

The Shacknews Indie-licious panel featured several talented artists and personalities. Topics ranged from AAA developers looking to find that sense of working with a small team to what it’s been like over the past year for indie devs, and the processes and effects online events. It’s a great look at the landscape that indie developers have to operate within.

Our coverage of indie titles doesn’t conclude with this special panel. Our weekly Indie-licious livestream is only going to grow as TJ dives into a myriad of upcoming titles – you won’t want to miss a second. To ensure you don’t miss a moment, make sure you stop by the Shacknews Twitch channel and drop us a follow, and even subscribe!
