Hello Indies!

We hope everybody had a great Holidays 🎄 and festive new years! Ready to jump back into the fray of video game development 😉 ? 

December Recap

Our annual Seattle Indies Holiday Party wrapped up on December 8. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making this another amazing event! And with the new location at the Living Computer Museum + Labs, we had a lot more space to mingle and create awesome attractions from board games to a very Seattle Indies Karaoke room. We hope to keep the tradition going next year! Click here to find more awesome photos, thanks to EMILIO CERRILLO PHOTOGRAPHY.

JAMESTOWN+, the classic co-op shoot ’em up and historically-accurate story of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, is out now via Switch, Steam, and Humble.  It’s a re-release of the 2011 build of the game on PC, and new to Switch!
