Welcome back to the NSG Indie Game Roundup, our monthly series featuring indie games news, plus game demo and new release discussions.
We made it through June and gaming press and podcasters everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief! Don’t get us wrong, it was a great month for gaming news, announcements and showcases, but boy, was it a whirlwind! From Summer Game Fest, to some heartbreaking announcements out of Xbox, to the chaos of digging into Steam Next Fest, a lot has happened in the last 30 days. The month was just too big to discuss on our own, so we brought in CGDannyB to help us discuss some of the biggest news stories to touch the indie game space. But first and foremost, the three of us each counted down 5 of our favorite demos from Steam Next Fest!
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 June 2026, plus new releases and demos that they played recently.
