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.

Convergence Games Showcase: Host and Publisher Reveal
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.
I find most showcase streams blur together into a grey goo of badly scripted trailer intros, and that I can’t remember most of the games featured minutes after the stream ends. I will remember one or two games, however, and anytime I’ve spoken to a developer about the efficacy of such streams, they’ve all pointed to spikes in Steam Wishlist numbers after being included. That means I should probably put my rain away and just watch the parade.
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.
