DroidDeck, Well Dweller & NES Homebrew | The Indie-Credible Podcast 102

Can you really turn your Android phone into a portable Steam gaming machine? And would you actually WANT to? Episode 102 of The Indie-Credible Podcast brings Jeff and Xander back for another week of indie gaming , early indie releases , new indie releases , community recommendations, and new games for classic hardware! DroidDeck: Steam Gaming on Your Phone?! Jesse Glenn sends us an interesting discovery: DroidDeck , a solution for getting Steam games running on Android phones. But is it actually worth using? Jeff and Xander discuss touchscreen gaming, the appeal of playing PC games on a phone, and whether pairing a Bluetooth controller from companies like 8BitDo makes the whole idea more practical. Would you rather play on a dedicated handheld, or is your phone already good enough? Jeff's Kickstarter Is LIVE! We've also got a new Kickstarter campaign underway! The Black Box Challenge Wooden Edition is bringing a handmade collectible wooden sleeve to the NES-inspired retro gaming novel, along with additional ways to support Hagens Alley Books.
