Indie Tsushin: 2023 April Issue

This is the 2023 April zine issue compiling articles from the インディー通信 Indie Tsushin blog, a handmade site celebrating and introducing indie and doujin games from Japan!

This issue contains:

• 👑 Pickup! Tokyo Sandbox
• 🎮 ファミレスを享受せよ (Famiresu wo Kyojuseyo) (written by Squimmy!)
• 🎮 ふりかけ☆スペイシー (Furikake Spacy)
• 🎮 VacationReels
• 🎤 Interview with ICHI
• 🎤 Interview with Oississui
• 🎤 Interview with 4ton Tomatine
• 🎤 Interview with Arai Hitoe
  

The zine is viewable in browser (above) thanks to the HTML5 Reader for Electric Zine Maker by Jeremy Obuder, and available for download (below) in PDF, ePub, and MOBI formats. The ePub and MOBI files have a simplified layout, so those versions are recommended for screen readers and eReaders. We also have digital postcards (PDF and PNG) and the インタビュー特集 (Japanese interview edition, PDF) for download. Our zine is on a pay-what-you-want system so anyone can read it! We really hope that you will check it out!

Support Indie Tsushin!

インディー通信 Indie Tsushin is ad-free, does not (and will never!) run sponsored content, and is mostly made by two people in their spare time. We write the articles, buy the games out of pocket, conduct and translate the interviews, lay out and edit the website and zines, pay for hosting and recording equipment, and so on. We do all this because we are gigantic nerds and hope that more people can play and appreciate Japanese indie games and their developers. We would gladly do it even if we never made a single yen from this.

BUT! If you enjoyed the zine, please consider paying for it! Any amount would be more than enough, and would go a long way towards boosting our morale and keeping us going. Not only that, it lets us pay guest writers to appear in the zine! If you can't afford to donate, don't even worry about it! Indie Tsushin will always be available to read for free and will never go behind a paywall. You can also help us a ton by sharing this zine or our website, and by rating and reviewing our zines on itch. We also have a Ko-Fi if you would prefer to leave us a tip that way. Thank you so much for all of your kind support!
