Sounds like they will have even more to show after this showcase.

So far this showing has been extremely solid and it goes back to what has been pointed out lately in other threads: Dev tools are becoming easier to use and indie devs are getting better as well.
With both simultaneously happening, it's becoming less of a rarity that indie games are good, and more of a rarity that indie games are incredible.
Compare this to 10 years ago, or even 5. The bar went up.

Which name did they use instead? I've been writing some down.
I didn't catch it, but they had an url name or something. I'll write it down once the show is over.
I'm wishlisting half of the stuff shown. This thing needs more attention.

Wait, who actually owns the Clock Tower I.P.? Nvm, noticed the small Capcom logo at the end of the trailer.

The horror genre is the only genre that I worry about when it comes to indie.
I just hope that these devs are taking these older styles of games and are finding ways to improve upon their formula and gameplay, rather than just copying the awkwardly slow gameplay from the PS1/N64/SAT generation.

Hollow Body looks like something I would be interested in with a bit of polish. (About 42 minutes in.)

That was the exact game that made me start to worry about the horror genre lol. It looks good but the way she was moving around made me nervous about it's controls.

I had an amazing time with Them and Us (2021). I am looking forward to Echoes of the Living. Tormented Souls 2 has some impressive looking early stuff. They are deriviative but I can't help but enjoy them all the same.

So many Metroidvanias...

I saw this complaint coming lol. They should have spaced this out better. They revealed way more 3D games and many other genres earlier in the show.
I'm not sure if saving a ton of metroidvanias at the end was the best call.

Big Boy Boxing looks pretty good.
Edit: The show is still going btw (this is the second half).

Jesusfudgepackingchrist that was a lot of great looking games!
I didn't expect there to be so damn many in this showcase, but here we are. So many standouts my brain is just flooded with information, and I know there were a few that I'd kinda known about, some I'd seen on Game Trailers and such, but holy shit nonetheless.
Beyond The Ice Palace II looks incredible, and the fact that it's a sequel to an obscure Castlevania clone from 1988 and it's aesthetics being from some other nebulous time period have really piqued my interest in this title.

Yeah, I watched the whole thing and there was a lot of variety. I think people just love Metroidvanias so a lot of devs are making them.

2 hours and 40 minutes of video games with mostly fun gameplay shown. What else can I give it but an A rating?
Apologies in advance for the double posts OP, but I'm going to list out a summary of what I saw and liked. As per the last thread, some of these are new reveals, some are gameplay reveals, some are new platform announcements, and some are just updates or showing a game again before release:

Frogun Encore (Puzzle platformer with unique aiming and zipline mechanics)
Double Shake (2.5D Platformer, possibly Sonic inspired with how fast it is)
The Land of the Magnates (Metroidvania with interesting shading style)
Primal Planet (Metroidvania set in prehistoric world)
Yooka Replaylee (Yooka Laylee Remaster and it does look much better, will it have a way to upgrade your original version for cheap?)
youtu.be
Volgarr The Viking 2
The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest (Castlevania 2/3 style sidescroller)
Elsie (Megaman Zero-esque Metroidvania)
Iron Meat (Contra Hard Corps-esque game with different classes and upgrade system)

Project Haven is a turn-based tactical rpg, but when it is your turn, it lets you manually aim your shots in first person mode. Loved the demo.
