6 Indie RPG Developers You Should Be Following!
Over the years, my interest in video games has slowly shifted from the AAA industry to indie games. I attribute this interest to indie developers having the will to try new things or create something retro. Lately, we've been experiencing an indie RPG renaissance with high-profile titles like Knuckle Sandwich , Sea of Stars , and In Stars in Time, all released within the last year. With that in mind, I want to highlight four indie developers creating RPGs slated for future release.

The Open-Carry Fighter
Garris strode into town with the rattle of steel, and the jingle of spurs. Eyes turned his way, and hands nervously reached for hilts that weren't present. The sellsword paid them no mind, hitched up the baldric on his shoulder, and grinned. The great two-handed blade that was nearly as long as he was tall shifted slightly, the crossguard clinking against the throat of the scabbard as if the sword was also chuckling.

The Head-Hunting Samurai
The two warriors stood in the center of the battlefield, a maelstrom of death all around them. One garbed in blue and gold, his armor chipped but whole. The other in red and black, his face covered by a terrible mask. Neither spoke. There was no need for words to express what was to happen.

You Don't Survive Twenty Years by Accident
I am going to level with you. I can count on one finger how many hours I've spent in the expansive, pixelated fantasy realm of Azeroth. I spent a lot of that hour fucking about with the controls and trying to pick fights. Fights I could never win.

I Played 26 Games of LoL Classic Mode. Here’s Why I Uninstalled It.
The login screen loaded, and the background music played. That same melody. My finger hovered over the mouse. I didn't click. Not because I was moved, but because I suddenly wasn't sure why I was here.

What Happened to the 'Mega Man' Series?
With its long history and many games, the Mega Man series may at first appear to be a wildly successful franchise up there with Mario and Sonic . However, despite its recognition, the Mega Man series only has a few games that sold more than one million copies worldwide. Even the best-selling Mega Man game Mega Man 2 sold only 1.5 million copies worldwide. This fact made me wonder how the Mega Man series could be so well known but rarely be the success one would expect from a long-running franchise.

The Legacy of 'Mega Man Battle Network'
With the release of the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection in 2023, there appears to be a renewed interest in the RPG series. However, this resurgence has yet to result in Capcom reviving the series with a new entry. Indie games inspired by Mega Man Battle Network , such as One Step From Eden , EndCycle VS , and Berserk B.I.T.S. , attempt to fill this void with their similar battle systems and card-collecting mechanics. Unfortunately, none of these games has perfectly recreated the appeal of the Battle Network series. Enter Shanghai EXE: Genso Network and Mega Man Battle Network Chrono X , two existing fangames that continue where the series left off.

The Manufactured Sorcerer
They'd told her there would be fire. They'd told her it would test her as surely as any battlefield. That she would have to endure, or it would consume her. And she had saluted, and repeated the oath she had given to her nation. Her life was the Emperor's to use as he saw fit.

GTA 6 Predictions: What I Think Rockstar Is Really Building . AI-Generated.
I was sitting in a parking garage at two in the morning — don't ask why — when my phone buzzed with a notification that the GTA 6 trailer had dropped. I watched it four times in a row, right there under the flickering fluorescent lights, and by the third viewing I wasn't really watching it anymore. I was reading it. Every frame felt like a letter from Rockstar that I had to decode. That obsession didn't stop. Months later, I'm still turning over the same questions, the same glimpses of Vice City neon, the same half-second shots of swampland and highway. These are my GTA 6 predictions — some grounded in evidence, some purely hopeful, all of them honest.

How the 'Boktai' Series Lost Its Identity
One of my favorite video game series of all time is Boktai. Boktai is an action RPG series renowned for its solar sensor gimmick. However, out of the Boktai series, I only consider the original game Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hand to be a classic. While I still enjoy the sequels, I believe they stray too far from the original to deliver a satisfying follow-up. More specifically, the sequels to Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hand lack the stealth and personalization of the original.

Tarkov Has Graced Us with Another Roadmap (July/Quarter 3 Roadmap)
(Intro) It wouldn’t be an ordinary day for Tarkov without going over another newly released roadmap for the game that showcases upcoming changes and additions for the foreseeable future. And while the focus is specifically on July, at least that month seems rather jam packed with tons of new content and a major addition to the game that will allow players to fundamentally experience a different kind of Tarkov. If you’ve watched any of the previous videos going over the roadmap, you know how we’re going to do this; let’s talk about the roadmap as a whole, go over most of the items listed across the panels and see what’s in store for the game. And then after just have a conversation about the potential impact these changes will have on the game as a whole and whether or not we will even see most of these changes make it into the game. It’s the same song and dance every single time, but at least we get to see different things that battle state wants to add into the game. Whether they manage to actually do that, well that’s a different story entirely.
