Attention Indie Devs!

I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.

The anti-spam key is "kook".

the original idea for emblems was "Fire Emblem, but condensed”... here's a video of that process courtesy of ikiru's 3am brain 😂 anyone remember this commercial? (sound on 🎶)

an androgynous green mage in a battle pose, holding their staff above their head as glowing particles swirl around them. they have a blood-red left hand with claws. a dialogue box features the name "Magic" and the words "I don't remember- !" with a pained profile expression.

Hey all, I'm going to hopefully have a Impressions post out for this at the end of this week or early next week, but I highly recommend Emblems: Sunless Vow demo. It's a roguelike that's got marbles inspired turn-based combat that is AWESOME and a whole lot of story.
