(Lovingly screams) WHERE ARE THE INDIE ANIMATION STUDIOS????? I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO KNOW!!!!!

I would love to feature indie animations (upcoming or live) as part of Big Top Indies but I am less familiar with it as I am with indie games.

Indie animators, studios, etc:

1) where are you
2) how can I best tell people about how cool your work is

This is in fact the flex you think it is.

Learning about the history behind Five Guys Burgers & Fries has pushed me to unhinged idgaf-level territory. I am bringing out the confetti cannons for Big Top Indies.

Just complete FYBS (F*ck You Business Strategy) mode over here at the circus.

I love when game devs send me/Big Top little emails about their games 🥺

I'm tired of war-centric Vietnam media. Give me two Vietnamese women who just want to have coffee and banh mi and laugh and maybe hug

A little reminder that enjoying yourself is never a waste of time. Hours into a videogame isn't a waste of time. Learning something for fun isn't a waste of time. I love learning new things, I have so many I learned once and never did again. Never a waste of time.

More toxic yuri games pls I need more pathetic and useless women who people love anyway

Just got hit with a huge amount of feelings so I cannot reiterate this enough:

indie games, and indie media in general, are keeping me afloat mentally. I would be a huge puddle of sad without them atp.
indie games are kinda saving my life right now, so if you're an indie game dev, thanks for not giving up on making your stories heard.

Still thinking about the time @epistellar.bsky.social and I had an esports conversation (when I still worked in that industry AND after I left it) and I mentioned the concept of a "third narrative" and it blew their mind.

Maybe it's time I finally write an article about it...........

Question for game devs:

Do you enjoy watching full playthroughs of your game on YouTube? Or do you prefer watching shorter videos that show highlights of your game?

this is for all indie creatives but since a majority of people in my network here are game devs I'm going to tailor it to you all:

please keep your games alive. If you need to take a break for health reasons, please do. But please do not give up on your games. You never know who you'll reach.

Any game directed by Mei (@meiri.itch.io) is a GOTY banger. Possibly even GOTM (game of the month).

Most certainly GOTD (game of the day)

(the day is whenever the game gets released)

I have a voice! and I made a VA reel with it!

You need a quirky voice for your silly little character? A touch of ✨ dramatique ✨ for your thriller? Perhaps you just want to hear me yap about my favourite pizza toppings?

Das me. I'm the clown for the job. (:
