September is looking ridiculously busy for gaming this year.

We’ve already had a new PlayStation State of Play, Nintendo is preparing a special Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, and the next few weeks are packed with major releases, updates, and gaming events.

With so many big games competing for attention, I’m curious how everyone here feels about it — especially indie players and developers.

What game are you most excited to play this month?

And for developers:

Would you avoid releasing an indie game during a month packed with major AAA releases, or do you think a busy gaming season actually brings more players to smaller games too?

Personally, I think this is also a great time to discover smaller games that might otherwise get overlooked.

Feel free to share any upcoming indie games you’re excited about — not just your own game. I’d love to discover something new.

With so many big releases getting attention lately, I think it’s also a great time to discover smaller indie games that we might otherwise miss. I really enjoy seeing what solo developers and small teams are experimenting with, especially arcade-style games that focus on simple controls, progression, and increasingly challenging stages.

I’ve also been working on a small arcade combat game myself, so this topic is especially interesting to me. If anyone happens to be curious and doesn’t mind taking a quick look, I’d really appreciate any thoughts or feedback. No pressure at all — even a short comment about what works or what could be improved would be helpful.
