Hey guys, we are back. Or at least I (Cal) am.

It's been a rough few months, but come hell or high water, I'm determined to keep giving you guys some Indie content, and while I am just one small boi, I'm doing what I can.

The format is changing a little as I need to produce these podcasts in a vacuum without my lovely colleagues, who are sorely missed. So now I will be doing a weekly, what I been playing, focusing on one game, and going through what I liked, what I disliked, and more.

If this is something you like, be sure to let me know, and thank you all for continuing to listen to the IGC podcasts back-catalog while we were away, it means a lot!

Want to know a secret about award panels? They get it wrong sometimes, especially when they are dealing with indie games.

Over the years, The Game Awards have showcased some incredible indies, with even a few sneaking into the main Game of the Year category. However, there have been some shocking decisions and painful omissions we need to vent about. So, in this episode's big discussion, JT, Melika, and Cal look back at the last decade of awards and decide what was right and what was wrong.

Plus, as is custom, the trio also talks about the games they have been playing, and a few games on their radar, too.
