There are a few days left to enter our winter creative competition, on the theme "Aurora". Give any creative response to the theme and there are prizes including two great indie computer games!
Mostly though we'd just really like to see what you've got to enter - be it a sketch, poem, painting, recipe, tune, you name it!

New #indiegame Epicinium has been released for FREE on steam and pay-what-you-want on Itch!
Epicinium is a twist on classic grand strategy games: a fast simultaneous-turns battle system and construction of units and factories is complicated by global warming and the environmental damage of warfare lowering the overall score possible over time - as fields turn to mud, forests to tank tracks, is it worth winning the war if all you win is ash?

@troubleMoney Alternatively:
"I'm immortal and ancient!"
"OH MY GOD! TELL ME ABOUT CLEOPATRA!"
"Dude, I lived in Sweden until airplanes were invented."

You always think of immortals as being old ancient people who have been around for centuries, with or without eternal youth
It would totally suck to be a new immortal
"I'm immortal"
"OH MY GOD! TELL ME ALL ABOUT CLEOPATRA!"
"dude, I'm 40, immortal, still just 40"
New #modding from the forum: a skinpack for Bigosaur's Son of a Witch that turns the Fire Mage into the more mysterious elderly bearded figure of Merlin!

Reminder to game devs following: "PC" is not a clear platform. Neither is "Steam".
Clearer: Linux, Windows.

We had some brief downtime this morning because our security certificate auto-updater failed. Should now be fixed, thanks for your patience :)
