OTK had a 4 hour showcase full of new indie trailers in case anyone missed it:



Starts 8 minutes in.

Keep in mind some of these are world premieres/reveals, some of these are re-reveals because the game is launching relatively soon, and some of these are simply putting a spotlight on games that are coming out very soon or are out.

My personal game of show:

Wizordum. It looks like Hexen. I've long awaited more Hexen. Someone else decided to do it

Adventure and RPG:

Lucky Tower Ultimate (Reminiscent of 90s Snes platformers)



Athenian Rhapsody (Undertale-like RPG, bonus OTK-edition additional content)



Dark and Darker (re-reveal and official release, game is free to play, new druid class)



Fighting and Beat ‘em ups:

Ra Ra Boom (4 player RPG Beat em up, looks like Dungeon Fighter Online)

Big boy boxing (Punch out clone? Need to see gameplay)

Really, really appreciate these summaries man.

Screenbound looks incredible. Holy shit.

PaperKlay looks like it definitely has potential.

Saborus, wow. I have to have that.

Pull Stay ... lol.

Punished Miku Yea OTK secretly has a really quality show every summer to kick things off. I hope they keep it up. This time around they had indie dev interviews or short playthrough demos for nearly every other game, which is why the show was 4 hours.

Never heard of it. Glad to learn it exists. I'll have to watch next time.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Screenbound has been on my wishlist for a bit now. Looks really inventive and polished already.

Fowl Damage seems like a fun puzzle/platformer, hopefully it has some Super Meat Boy roots.

They started 2-3ish years ago, because they felt that they could not only showcase good indie games that might be looked over, but also help give some of their own money back into funding these indie devs so that their games can end up better.

They also decided to structure their showcase by genre so that it’s easier to skip to whichever genres you’re interested in and focus on what you like, instead of splashing a variety of genres back to back like other conferences, because they noticed that your average viewer usually complains about this during all of the summer conferences(like seeing FF7R right before an indie platformer reveal).

Sadly nothing clicked with me. Enotria might be cool but souls-like market is kinda full atm and most of them are trash. I'll keep an eye on it tho.
