Howdy! I’m thepaperpilot; I’ve been in the incremental games community for a long time at this point, and have spent the last couple months working on a solution to a recent problem I and others have noticed: it’s really hard to learn about all the new games without also subjecting yourself to seeing calls to wishlist the same games over and over again, often with only teaser videos and nothing you can actually play.
There’s some sites you can use to keep up with new releases, like incremental DB or galaxy, but to be honest neither them nor r/incremental_games have a fully comprehensive list.
I believe the solution to this is a touch of human curation. So I’ve made some tools for scraping all the new incremental games and major updates from galaxy, incremental DB, steam, and itch (typically over 100 a week between all those sources!), and go through the ones I believe are worth highlighting to the community. You can now go to plusone to see it in action, and follow it on RSS, Bluesky, ActivityPub (like mastodon), email, or discord. I’m also planning on posting it here, if that’s something the community is okay with. The goal is to have a release every Friday. Each newsletter will also contain links to the full list of releases and updates for that week, in case you want to see if my curation missed something.
I’m excited to see y’all’s feedback on this project and to see it grow and improve over time.
