Just curious.

The main focus of this community are Foss games, Homebrew games, demakes and indie or one-person hobby games

Okay, so I get that. I'm mostly posting small indies here, and excluding big popular ones like Celeste or Hades. I did see a lot of posts about indies in general on the pinned magazine post and I'm just wondering if this is intended to be mostly small stuff or if it is going to be another indie games in general community. If the difference is just that it allows demakes.

Also, feel free to correct me if I've totally vibe checked the magazine wrong and you have been mostly prioritizing FOSS, homebrew, demake, and one-person or small indie instead of just "any indie game ever".

Ok somehow I missed that one, maybe because I searched for indie games only. For now I am not closing this community but I will see if I change my mind in the future.
