Indieventure#29. Was 2024 a great year for indie games?Christmas is almost upon us, and before we ring in the New Year with our GOTY picks, it's time for us here at the Indieventure podcast to pour ourselves a generous glug of mulled wine and reflect on the year as a whole as it pertains to indie games.
Has it been a good year for indies? How did it stack up against previous years – especially the wall-to-wall hit machine that was 2023? And, putting personal preferences aside (because we'll be digging into that in-depth in our next episode, don't worry) what have been the biggest indie games of...2024-12-122h 12

The Boeing 747 took another step towards retirement last week. British Airways, the operator of the largest fleet of passenger 747s, announced that the distinctive aeroplane would not be returning to service after the pandemic. For all the rightful concern about the environmental cost of long-haul travel, the plane will be missed by passengers and pilots alike.
Mark Vanhoenacker, pilot and writer, describes the plane as “370 tonnes of aviation legend”. The first time I rode on the top deck of a 747, my own excitement was more childl...2021-04-0105 min

Mark Vanhoenacker: Opi laskeutumaan lentokoneella (Gummerus 2018)
Kadonneen kaupungin varjo on Karelia Noir -trilogian kolmas osa, lievästi puiseva sekoitus dekkaria ja poliisihistoriaa. Viipurin, poliisihistorian ja aikakauden 1920–1950 ystäville Karelia Noir -trilogia on suositeltavaa luettavaa, muille varauksella.
Manhattan Beach on hieno kirjallinen lukuromaani, joka kuvaa kiinnostavasti 1940-luvun sotavuosien Brooklynia vahvan naispäähenkilön, gangsteritarinan ja kauppamerenkulun kautta.
Kaksi ihmistä minuutissa kertoo eriarvoisuudesta parisuhteissa ja lapsen huoltajuuskysymyksissä sekä toisaalta sairauksissa. Miksi toisilla on malarian estolääkitys ja toisia kuolee kaksi ihmistä minuutissa?
