Super Meat Boy 3D, coin-pushing chaos and other new indie games worth checking out

Welcome to our latest roundup of what's going on in the indie game space. As ever, we've got a whole bunch of new games for you to dive into this weekend, along with announcements and updates on several others that are coming down the pike. I love how spoiled we are for game showcases these days, and I'm really looking forward to the latest installment of the indie-focused Triple-i Initiative at noon ET on April 9 as the first two editions were really strong. The trailer for this one features the likes of Cairn , Warhammer Survivors (the Warhammer-themed Vampire Survivors spinoff), the excellent CloverPit , Final Sentence and Far Far West . The organizers are promising to share release dates and gameplay reveals. Expect to see eight game announcements here too. Summer Game Fest is fast approaching. That means the mid-year edition of Day of the Devs, one of the biggest indie game showcases around, isn't too far away. Developers still have a chance to be featured in the show. Submissions for Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Digital Showcase are open , but you'll need to hurry if you're ready to shoot your shot at being included. The deadline for submissions is this Monday, April 6. Meanwhile, IтАЩd normally write about notable ports in the new releases section of this roundup, but there was no trailer for this, so I'll mention it here. Before its success with Peak last year, Landfall also scored a hit with Content

Super Meat Boy 3D, coin-pushing chaos and other new indie games worth checking out

Welcome to our latest roundup of what's going on in the indie game space. As ever, we've got a whole bunch of new games for you to dive into this weekend, along with announcements and updates on several others that are coming down the pike. The indie game scene has never been more vibrant, with countless developers creating innovative and unique experiences. This week, we're excited to highlight some of the most anticipated titles and events in the indie gaming world.

One of the most eagerly awaited events in the indie gaming community is the upcoming Triple-i Initiative showcase, set to take place on April 9 at noon ET. The first two editions of this indie-focused event were highly successful, and many developers and fans are looking forward to the latest installment. The trailer for this year's showcase features a lineup of promising games, including Cairn, Warhammer Survivors (the Warhammer-themed spinoff of the popular Vampire Survivors), CloverPit, Final Sentence, and Far Far West. The organizers have promised to share release dates and gameplay reveals, and fans can expect to see eight new game announcements during the event.

As the mid-year edition of Summer Game Fest approaches, the indie community is buzzing with excitement. One of the highlights of this event is the Day of the Devs showcase, one of the biggest indie game showcases around. Developers still have a chance to be featured in this prestigious event, but they need to hurry if they want to make the cut. Submissions for Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Digital Showcase are open, with the deadline set for this Monday, April 6. This is a golden opportunity for indie developers to showcase their work to a global audience and potentially secure new fans and collaborators.

In addition to these major events, there have been several noteworthy releases and updates in the indie gaming world. One such release is Super Meat Boy 3D, a sequel to the beloved indie classic. This latest installment takes the squishy protagonist to another dimension, offering players a challenging precision platforming experience. Like its predecessors, Super Meat Boy 3D is packed with obstacles such as saws, shredders, burning forests, and laser-guided rockets. Players will need to guide the meat cube through these treacherous levels with precision and skill.

Another exciting development is the release of Landfall on various platforms. Before its success with Peak last year, Landfall scored a hit with Content Warning on PC, and the game was made free for the first 24 hours, which helped drive its popularity. Now, this friends-loopy game is available on PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox on PC, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2 for just $10. Landfall has also added cross-play to the Steam version, allowing players to enjoy the game with friends across different platforms.

As the indie gaming scene continues to grow and evolve, it's exciting to see the diverse range of games and experiences being created. From the intense action of Super Meat Boy 3D to the charming world of Landfall, there's something for every type of gamer. With events like the Triple-i Initiative and Summer Game Fest providing a platform for indie developers to showcase their work, the future of indie gaming looks brighter than ever. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements in this ever-changing landscape.

A simple way to get more value from metrics
A simple way to get more value from metrics
We spent one day 1 building a system that immediately found a mid 7 figure optimization (which ended up shipping). In the first year, we shipped mid 8 figures per year worth of cost savings as a result. The key feature this system introduces is the ability to query metrics data across all hosts and all services and over any period of time (since inception), so we've called it LongTermMetrics (LTM) internally since I like boring, descriptive, names. This got started when I was looking for a starter project that would both help me understand the Twitter infra stack and also have some easily quantifiable value. Andy Wilcox suggested looking at JVM survivor space utilization for some large services. If you're not familiar with what survivor space is, you can think of it as a configurable, fixed-size buffer, in the JVM (at least if you use the GC algorithm that's default at Twitter). At the time, if you looked at a random large services, you'd usually find that either: The buffer was too small, resulting in poor performance, sometimes catastrophically poor when under high load. The buffer was too large, resulting in wasted memory, i.e., wasted money. But instead of looking at random services, there's no fundamental reason that we shouldn't be able to query all services and get a list of which services have room for improvement in their configuration, sorted by performance degradation or cost savings. And if we write that query for JVM survivor space, this also
