Indie Gaming Gets A Mag

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the power-to-the-people dept.

bear pimp writes "Indie gaming mecca Game Tunnel has announced 'Game Tunnel Magazine', a quarterly journey into the world of indie games. Game Tunnel Magazine has everything you'd expect from a print gaming publication but with an indie-centric focus. In particular, the well-researched previews section of upcoming indie games is something that to my knowledge no other site has ever done. Issue 1 of GTMag is available for free as a downloadable ezine in PDF format"

    While I agree with your general sentiment, your argument is flawed. Alien Hominid, for example, was a financial failure, regardless of the Flash game's popularity. Additionally, being heavily involved in the independent game community, I've seen case after case of truly excellent indie games overlooked by the mainstream media, despite their quality and financial successes. It's a shame, but the mainstream media don't recognize the truly wide scope of indie gaming and only occasionally adopt a rare few as though they were the darlings of the indie community. Fortunate for the lucky few, yes, but only representative of the truly stellar titles coming out every month and below the radar.
