Truck chaos, climbing with dual-mouse controls and other new indie games worth checking out
↗
Turnip Mountain's dual-mouse control scheme—where a solo player uses two mice to independently operate each of a character's arms—demonstrates an unconventional input model for physics-based PC games. Strange Scaffold's explicit 'anti-AI studio' positioning contrasts with Sega's use of generative AI, marking an emerging fault line in game development tooling philosophy. The Itch bundle organized by Necrosoft Games directs proceeds to a hardship fund for under-employed developers, underscoring ongoing industry instability.
