Sometimes you stumble upon something on Reddit that immediately catches your eye. With the digital paint barely dry, they launched just one week ago, I had the chance to sit down with Jimmy Mourad: the founder of IndieVault.io . In a crowded market where indie developers often get lost in the noise of giants like Steam, IndieVault.io promises to be a curated vault where hidden gems actually get the spotlight they deserve. No polished PR talk here, just a raw and honest conversation about the launch, the vision, and the future of indie gaming. I spoke with Jimmy about the launch of IndieVault.io to discuss their strategic vision for the independent gaming industry.

I sat down with Oleg from AMAMiZU Games to talk about their journey from the ZX Spectrum to Steam, the challenges of "pure skill" gameplay, and how they’re crafting a modern homage to the classics we grew up with. Oleg, could you tell us a bit more about the team at AMAMiZU Games? Who are the people behind the studio, and what drives your passion for game development? AMAMiZU Games is a very small and personal project - it’s just the two of us, two brothers, Oleg and Alex. We’ve been playing games since childhood, so gamedev feels like a natural extension of that shared passion. Initially, this wasn’t meant to be anything big or commercial. We simply wanted to try ourselves in gamedev as a hobby, to understand how games are made from the inside. Over time, that...

I wrote the album over the course of four years while staying home with my kids. It started as something I made just for myself. About half the album was written during those years, with the other half coming together this year. For me, it was a grea...
