Welcome back to the NSG Indie Game Roundup, our monthly series featuring indie games news, plus game demos and new release discussions.
The sun is out, the vacation vibes are bumpin', and that means another Summer Game Fest has dropped! Summer Game Fest 2025 was bigger and better than ever, with even more showcases and dozens of exciting indie game announcements. We are so lucky to be joined by Nick and Will from the Friday Night Gamecast podcast to discuss our highlights from eight of the SGF showcases this year. We had some great laughs and everyone's wishlists grew three sizes during this recording, and hopefully yours will too! Also, huge thanks to our newest Patreon supporters!
