IndieQuest - An Indie Game Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome back to IndieQuest, a celebration of all things indie games! 

On this episode we start off chit chatting about some upcoming indie titles that we're looking for (which just so happen to be mostly RPGs). Then we kick off our indie picks! There have been many times where we reference games and go "wait a minute... how is THAT not on the Quest Log?!" That's what this episode is all about!

It's a fun discussion, and we still happened to bring a great variety of titles even with these parameters. Let us know of some we should bring if we decide to do another episode like this!

Welcome back to INDIEQUEST, your friendly, internet indie game podcast! 

On this episode we take a listener email about a game studio, and then dive deep into the world of indie games that don't cost a dime! 

Seriously, these games are free, and they're good enough to be placed on the Quest Log! You'd be surprised at the amount of awesome free indie games out there that are worth your time, and all you have to do is press download...

Welcome back to IndieQuest your friendly, neighborhood indie game podcast!

On this episode we chat about the eclipse (and eclipse inspired drinks), games that are logical, games that are thoughtful, and games that are diabolical...

We also sit comfortably on the fence and have surprisingly deep conversations about indie games and how they are viewed many years after they hit the public consciousness.

Check out "In The Quest" an April Fools parody of the podcast done by our friends from the Polymedia discord: https://youtu.be/qDpmXwUOL3c?si=iLl56s6_xikBdh66

Thank you for checking out the episode, Enjoy!

Welcome back to IndieQuest, your friendly, neighborhood gaming podcast!

On this episode we each bring something unique to the Quest Log! Steve brings an essential indie classic, Josh bring a unique if somewhat flawed co-op game, and Drachma brings a cartoony take on a formula created by another indie classic. We laugh, chat enthusiastically about games, and also talk about the weather a bit because we're almost-middle age dudes... :)

Enjoy the good vibes!

Welcome back to IndieQuest your friendly, neighborhood gaming podcast!

On this episode we bring back our Indie game music listening party - IndieQuest OST!

Kick back, relax, and listen to some of the hidden gems in the indie game music landscape! It runs the "gambit" (as Josh says more than once in the episode)  of a bunch of different genres, from orchestral tracks to... Synth-wave to... eh we'll leave it open for you to hear for yourselves!

(Check the chapters to skip tracks if you like, but we recommend listening to the entire thing!)

Enjoy!

Welcome back to IndieQuest, your friendly neighborhood indie video game podcast!

On this episode we start off talking about some games we've been playing. We then chit-chat about some steam next fest fest that (mostly) Josh played. Then, of course, we wrap up with each of us bringing games to the quest log. This time it just so happens that we each bring a game with one cool/creative idea that executes it perfectly!

Enjoy!

Welcome back to IndieQuest, a celebration of indie games!

On this episode we start off the show with some listener submitted comments and emails (spotify has a comment section, who knew?!) then we jump into our 4th ever second opinion discussion!

A second opinion episode is an excuse for all the hosts to dive headfirst into the quest log and play a game one of the other hosts placed there! Will there be controversy? Who's getting roasted?! Listen to the DRAMA unfold!! (or what most likely will happen is we'll just hang out and chat about some cool games...)

If you have a game you have played from the quest log let us know via email or twitter!

On this episode of IndieQuest, we talk about some of our most anticipated 2024 indie games.

Then we each bring a game to the quest log, one full of cute animals, one all about the vibes and one that charts the course. We hope you enjoy the episode!

If you play a game from the quest log, tag us or use the hashtag #SecondOpinions and we'll read them on the show!

It's the year of Gated Exploration (Metroidvania for the ill-informed)!
Thanks for listening!
