    We have a handful of local meetups so everyone tends to know each other.

    I am part of Skypyre Studios, as is Matt who is one of the 2 people running the website. We’re 10 friends who release games together.

    The largest Studio is SnowedIn. They only have 1 game listed but they do a lot of contract work for studios like Ubisoft. Last I checked they had 50+ employees.

    The most recognizable is Steelcrate games who made Don’t Talk and Nobody Explodes for VR headsets… originally at a local college game jam.

    Another cool indie Studio is Breakfall. Who have 3-4 game’s listed. They’re currently making their own engine.

    And there are numerous local indie’s who have made a game solo.
