Some good news for you all! I've taken all of your advice on board ( of which I'm hugely grateful beyond words ). But I also said if the site changing domain * out of my hands * was the end of IndieRetroNews then so be it, it was time to call it quits . But today checking my emails. IndieRetroNews was successfully transferred over to the new domain host and thus far it's still going! So that means I'm meant to keep featuring retro games 🙂
- Albeit taking it easier from now on. So expect quality over quantity ☺️ - Fingers crossed throughout the week as google catches up.
glad to hear this site is still going strong! no other site covers the underground retro scene like this one
ReplyDeleteagreed
DeleteExcellent new, very much appreciated
ReplyDeleteGood work!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, and take care.
Quality over quantity is always best. How do you decide what to cover?
ReplyDeleteI look at the game and go that looks cool, think I'll feature that one! Although my idea of cool might not be in 100% agreement with my readers hah ;)
DeleteGreat news, thank you for everything you have done so far and looking forward to what the future holds.
ReplyDeleteHiya - I run this site here ( https://www.youtube.com/GentlemensPixelClub ) would there be possible to get coverage of some of the content I produce if you consider it fitting.
ReplyDeleteAlso, take this as a note to include any videos I do, I would be honoured to feature on the odd article here.
Thank you.
Thank you for keeping my ZX years alive 50 years on !
ReplyDeletegood to hear, i always appreciate this site and your work. It is a great source of news about new games/projects.
ReplyDeleteVery good, i'm glad to hear this and your Retro site is in good health, i think this site is a GOOD thing simply because is direct and comfortable to obtain retro news, i like all your articles and videos, a -complete- information on this Wonderful world called RETRO games (!!).
ReplyDeleteAlso i want to say you : don't worry about others complaints, simply YOU DO WHAT YOU LIKE AND HOW YOU LIKE IT and your health always comes first. [ ^.^ ]
Very glad to hear. I check this site regularly to see what new games have come out for retro systems. Thanks for your hard work.
ReplyDeleteYay! :-) Question, since we're here anyway... Where do you get all those remakes of 8-bit music that are featured at the start of every video?
ReplyDeleteBest to ask Saberman on one of his videos :) - I did mention to him in the past about doing a compilation :D
DeleteThis is a great birthday present, thank you Neil!! <3
ReplyDeleteooh happpppy biiirthdayyy!
DeleteThat's so great to hear. I absolutely love your site, and it's always a daily check for me. I had no idea you're flying solo maintaining it, so huge kudos. You've steered me towards some excellent titles over the years mate! Thankyou for your time and effort, as I, and many others, really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear.
ReplyDeleteI suggest that aside going for quality games reviews, you could also publish a list of 'non covered releases' weekly, so, all users could keep an eye on those titles that could pass somehow unaware. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work , we all appreciate what you do here. Your site is the first that I check each day.
ReplyDeleteI don't comment very often, but have frequented this site for years! I've always considered it the best source for gaming news. Glad to hear the domain transfer was a success and that you plan on sticking with it. We really appreciate the work you do. Thanks and cheers
ReplyDeleteGreat news !!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear this, love the site and check it most days.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the good news man! Your site is life line for many retro-maniacs like myself :) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it worked out, would have missed this great great site. No alternative.
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to cut down on the number of posts on the site, I think it's best to talk about the games when they're already complete. There are often around 3 posts per game. It's better not to waste time talking about games that we don't know if they'll ever be complete or not, or talk about demos. Sorry for my English, I use Google Translate
ReplyDeleteGood idea! I'll probably feature like one beta to get the ball rolling, then feature it again when it's feature complete unless there's been major update in between... This is mainly for the good games. There are some pretty terrible ones out there lol
DeleteGreat work, I visit your site every day. Do you think there's a chance you can also publish updates on Blue Sky? A lot of what Twitter used to be for retro computing community is now moving there and it would be great to see you around.
ReplyDeleteYeh I might be able to do both, not going to just ditch Twitter though! :) - Cheeers :D
DeletePfft... trust me... X isn't going anywhere. Hundreds of millions still on there.
DeleteSo happy to hear you're able to continue the great work here. It's very much appreciated by a lot of people. I have a Twitch stream (CharlieFar) every week called "What's New Wednesday" which features new games available from indie and retro devs and this place is invaluable for the latest news. I don't review the games as such, just give my reactions to a first play of each game. I do feature demos but will always favour showing feature complete games that viewers can get hold of the same day. I now tend to shy away from early previews and prototypes as it's sadly never guaranteed they will make it to full release. I read that you will be also featuring less of this content too which I think is a good move, both for quality and making the updating of the site more manageable. Once again, thank you for providing such a quality resource!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteSo, if we want to contact you directly (to inform of new games), what is the best way to do it?
Either https://bsky.app/profile/indieretronews.bsky.social or https://x.com/Indie_RetroNEWS . I've had to ditch emails because of the vile messaging and spam I was getting. :))))
DeleteOk, thanks.
DeleteI sent you a direct message on X a couples weeks ago, so I wonder if you actually received it or if it somewhat was filtered out :)
If you did not get it, should I post it again on X, or possibly on bsky?
Either is fine :) Make sure to tag me! - cheers
DeleteOh, so a normal message with @Indie_RetroNEWS not a direct message.
DeleteGotcha
That's great news! indieretronews.bsky is perfect!
