Hello! I am currently editing Indiepocalypse, a monthly indie game zine that pays developers.

I'm basically trying to create a home for collective publishing of short-form games (physical or digital) like other artistic mediums have had for so long. I hope that with time this can help to normalize the idea that shorter games have value, which in turn would make games (slightly more) viable for a wider range of people.

There is no theme or other requirements for a game to be eligible. A cleaned-up game from 5 years ago is as valid as a game made specifically for the jam. I'm just looking for cool games!

Each issue also comes with a short PDF magazine (I'll be making a limited run of physical copies to show/give to interested contributors or print-on-demand purchases) with a page for (and made by) each developer. In an attempt cross-pollinate games folks with other artists (and because I just like to support fellow artists) each issue will have a (also paid!) cover made by someone outside of, or tangentially related to, the world of games.

If you're curious about prior entries, they can all be found at indiepocalypse.com.
