hi, my previous ramblings on the triple-i initiative have materialized into an actual, if short, article
blogging (ashamedly)

Hello! I'm an artist, writer, and game developer. I work for @7thBeatGames on "A Dance of Fire and Ice" and "Rhythm Doctor."

I run @IndieGamesofCohost where I share screenshots and spotlights of indie games. I also interview devs here on Cohost.

in reply to @lotus's post:
I've been super cynical about this thing since I first heard about it (I was literally in the middle of a conversation with someone about predatory indie publishers when they first announced it.) The vibes around it seem way off.
Also, I'm pretty sure the notion of "Triple I" has been close to a joke for a long time. I don't know why anybody would willingly associate with it.
(just letting you know the first citation of Hellblade is typo'd to Hellbalde. is that erratum from the quotation?)
it's from the webpage/quotation 😅 I must've forgotten to fix it or add a [sic] while I was changing all the "iii"s to "triple-i," ty!
np! and thank you for putting words to a bad back-of-mind worries i've had about the indiePlus sorta scene that's developed
This really feels like the indie boom of the 2000s where a bunch of successful indie devs promoted the idea that only highly polished games were the only ones worth paying attention to and anything outside of that was bad. Hopefully this is just terrible marketing and the actual showcase is good.
Do you have a link to that press release? I don't see anything on their site that links to the tinyhydra article, but I could easily be missing something obvious
it was an email since I'm signed up for Thunder Lotus' newsletter. I'm not sure if there's a way to access back issues tbqh
Ah yeah, I just saw your clarification post, sorry to bother you about that! (And thanks for writing the article, it was pretty entertaining)
yeah no worries! I probably should've made it clearer in the OG. and thanks for reading and enjoying!!
