Hello everyone!

I wanted to thank all of you wonderful people for giving my game a shot and celebrating the unbelievable 5 Game Award nominations for Balatro with me. It’s been a really surreal day.

One of the things I’ve learned this past year is how kind and supportive the indie dev community is. We all know how hard this industry can be and help each other when we can, and I’ve met so many amazing people that love what they do and the people they work with.

I feel uncomfortable treating the nominations and awards for Balatro as ‘my’ awards or nominations because I feel like my game just happens to be the current face of this beautiful and passionate corner of the industry. I just happen to be the lucky one to be propped up.

As such I have a few games that didn’t get consideration that I think you should keep your eye on! Please give these games a try, a wishlist, gift them to a friend. They are great games that I have played a lot in 2024 made by great people! These games all either launched or had demos in 2024
