It\u2019s no secret that the games industry is imploding. Major studios are constantly conducting mass layoffs, no matter how successful their games are<\/a>. In an uncertain market, risk aversion has seeped down from AAA to indie publishers, making it difficult or even counterintuitive<\/a> for small game studios to get funding.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, wonderful games that break the mold are always going to get made, even if the odds are stacked against them. And a new showcase has emerged to spotlight unique titles you may not have heard about otherwise.<\/p>\n

Computer Worlds is a new showcase celebrating the \u201cbest in games: the beautiful, the strange, and the distinctive.\u201d The showcase is organized by independent game developers in collaboration with Noclip 2, Noclip<\/a>\u2019s secondary YouTube channel dedicated to indie game coverage.<\/p>\n

The premier Computer Worlds showcase<\/a> was hosted on Thursday. The showcase featured trailers for 15 new and upcoming games, and a montage of 16 additional released games, many of which are currently on sale as part of their Steam event<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese games are in an odd position right now. On the one hand, they might be the healthiest little corner of the medium, a space where passionate developers are making interesting work sustainably for enthusiastic, supportive audiences. On the other hand, these games are ill-suited to the machinery of the modern internet\u2026Computer Worlds is our attempt to do something about this,\u201d says Gil Lawson, game developer and creator of Computer Worlds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
