Well, I posted my source. :)

That's the thing about indie games, I have discovered. Lacking gigantic marketing budgets to really blitz the media, they sometimes languish in obscurity - but sometimes they will get 'discovered.' Repeatedly. And sometimes it gets viral and suddenly gets a buzz about it months or years after its release.

The whole idea of "if you build it, they will come" is hogwash. So I'm trying to do what I can for the indie RPG community to get the word out.

Incidentally, RPGWatch happened to pick this one up this morning, which should provide an even bigger boost. They briefly spotlighted The Adventures of Cendah, which was a pleasant surprise for me, and for KingDiz no doubt. I guess it was a slow news morning, but they are an awesome, very indie-friendly site.

I caught that and fixed it in the post yesterday --- but I still have this habit of spelling it psi everywhere else. I'll edit...

Haven't posted in this forum is a while. Inactivity not withstanding here's a link to an indie TD/RPG hybrid I stumbled upon recently. The game is actually quite good. Here's the link to the game's site:

Defender's Quest

I've found Youtube is a great place to gain exposure to indie games.
