TL;DR

Indieformer in a Nutshell

A highly curated indie game newsletter and discovery platform. We help players find their next obsession — and give developers the tools to get seen.

  • Curated monthly issues: Showcase, Indievelopment, and Frontline

  • Steam & Kickstarter discovery

  • Game dev resources (like Launch Kit)

  • Waypoint release tracker


WHO’S RUNNING THIS?

Josh Chiodo — Founder, Curator, & Creative Lead

Former film & TV guy turned multi-project creative. I’ve worked in international TV distribution, run a local fitness studio, and built Indieformer as a passion project to support the games and creators I’ve always admired.

I write, edit, design, research, and publish every Indieformer issue — and now work alongside Clem, who’s helping expand Indieformer into something bigger.

Clem Schmutz — Curation & Partnerships

A lifelong gamer with a sharp eye for hidden gems and a library that puts mine to shame. Clem’s focused on growing our Waypoint archive, building partnerships, and helping shape the publishing arm of Indieformer.

Together, we’re making sure Indieformer keeps doing what it does best — finding the games worth knowing, and the people behind them.
