Nice idea, though most of these videos are pretty short.

I've never actually heard of any of these games (which is to be expected), but Nightveil and You Can't Possibly Expect Me To Do That look the most interesting to me.

I plan to replace Fire Fight! with a better video of that. That was the 1st one I did and I knew nothing about recording footage at the time, hence no sound. Slowly getting better. Have lots of other games in mind. May even make a compilation video of the best 50 when I'm done (if I reach 50).

The videos are only meant to give people an idea of how each game plays - I really don't have the fastest connection and some of the ones I've uploaded have taken a couple of hours each as it is, so I really don't have the time to upload endless huge videos.

Here's Part 10 for anyone interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTdRz6_PxdA&feature=channel_page

Damn, I'm really curious to see how long you can keep this series going.  I know I'm gonna watch it.  I loves me some obscure and I loves me some indie.  Combining the two?  I certainly can't pass that up!

I'd write a devlog about my current game, but I'm too busy making it.

Ooh, nice. I actually like how short they are; it's a bit closer to flipping through screenshots than watching ten minute gameplay videos.

these videos are short enough that you could combine them into one long video -- did you consider that? it'd be interesting to see '100 obscure indie games in 10 minutes' or something Smiley

Only if there was always a floating link on the video that changed for each game. It's annoying to try to pick out the neat game based on a sequence in the video description.

I'd like to do one, although really I need to learn how to string a bunch of videos together and overlay it with music, etc.. I've only really just started learning this stuff.
