ISSUE #25

Cover - Wolfgang Zorn

　　Hello and welcome to Indiepocalypse!

　　Indiepocalypse is a curated monthly collection looking to highlight the very best of the DIY indie game scene.

　　Each month will feature games by 10 different developers, including a newly commissioned game exclusive to the bundle-zine. The games cover a wide variety of styles, genres, and themes as they fight against any definition of "indie game" as a genre.

　　Also, and this part is very important to me and should truly be taken as given, each contributor is paid and developers are paid royalties on all future sales.
