Welcome back to the NSG Indie Game Roundup, our monthly series featuring indie games news, plus game demo and new release discussions.
The sun is out, the vacation vibes are bumpin’, and that means another Summer Game Fest has dropped! Summer Game Fest 2025 was bigger and better than ever, with even more showcases and dozens of exciting indie game announcements. We are so lucky to be joined by Nick and Will from the Friday Night Gamecast podcast to discuss our highlights from eight of the SGF showcases this year. We had some great laughs and everyone’s wishlists grew three sizes during this recording, and hopefully yours will too!
Also, huge thanks to our first Patreon supporters! In addition to other fun perks, members on Patreon get early access to all of the Indie Game Roundup episodes.

No Small Games is an indie game recap and review podcast brought to you by hosts Kate and Emily! They became friends while streaming on Twitch and bonded over their love of indie video games. In each episode of No Small Games, the two will discuss an indie game they both played independently. They’ll compare their experiences: the good, the bad, their most memorable moments of their playthroughs.
In this installment, you’ll hear their roundup of indie game news from March 2025, plus their recap of their favorite demos from February’s Steam Next Fest, alongside special guest Jacob McCourt.
