Streaming on September 26th
There seem to be an infinite number of video game showcase streams these days, each one promising to be full of exciting indie games. Whatever my feelings about the entertainment value of these streams, I can’t deny I watch all of them, or that they introduce me to games I might have otherwise missed.
Next on the calendar is the Convegence games showcase on September 26th, which is a new event that - hey, what a twist - promises to feature exciting indie games. It does have some recognisable publishers onboard, including Secret Mode, Thunderful, and Kepler, among others.
Thunderful are best known for the SteamWorld games, while Secret Mode publishedStill Wakes The DeepandA Little To The Leftand Kepler are the folks behind the recentFlintlock: The Siege Of DawnandCat Quest3 and the upcomingClair Obscur: Expedition 33. Other publishers with games in the showcase include Fireshine Games, Yogscast Games, Miju Games and The Arcade Crew, at least some of which I’ve heard of.
The show will be hosted by the YouTubers and Twitch streamers ESO Danny, Dexbonus and Wanderbots, if those names mean anything to you. Dexbonus is the only streamer I have ever watched regularly, which means I get to feel marginally less out of touch than normal.
The Convergence games showcase will be streamed on September 26th at 12pm PST/8pm BST viaYouTube,Twitch, and the other usual places. There’s more detailson the official site.
