The featured games are both local and global, and both indie and, on occasion, a bit-bigger-budget — what binds them together is simply that they’re all amazing. In keeping with the tongue-in-tobacco-packed-cheek tone, we call these run-downs A Fistful of Indies , which are presented here on Venus Patrol for your reference, in addition to their home on the JUEGOS RANCHEROS site .

If you’re in the NYC area, you’re in luck: Venus Patrol is partnering with local DIY videogame space Babycastles to bring you an all-day, all-ages event on May 9th, featuring Qrion — the Sapporo-based producer who became an actual honest viral sensation on Vine based on her Venus Patrol/Wild Rumpus party appearance in March. To celebrate that success, we’re bringing her back for another show — which has since expanded into her first ever full U.S. tour — where she’ll be supported by Anamanaguchi’s Peter Berkman (who also gave an incredible performance at our party ), and, super excitingly, NYC’s Doss , another local favorite who you can preview below.

While they’re still remaining tight-lipped on the actual gameplay, Funomena says Wattam — a combination of the Tamil and Japanese words for making a loop” — provides a hint to what the game will be about, making connections between different types of things.” Above is the first trailer for the game just revealed at the PlayStation Experience event , which introduces Wattam ‘s main-character mayor, with more details expected to trickle out throughout 2015, all of which you’ll obviously probably be seeing here.
