Salut ! Je gère Indie Signal, une chaîne YouTube qui propose gratuitement des bandes-annonces de jeux indépendants — sans frais ni conditions.

Si votre jeu est en développement ou déjà sorti, et que vous avez une bande-annonce de moins de 2 minutes, je serais ravi de la découvrir. Envoyez-moi le lien de votre bande-annonce et l'endroit où les joueurs peuvent trouver votre jeu ou l'ajouter à leur liste de souhaits ; je m'en occuperai ensuite. J'examine les candidatures chaque semaine.

Chaîne : https://www.youtube.com/@Indie_Signal

J'ai hâte de voir sur quoi vous travaillez tous !

Hi,

We just recently completed the announcement trailer for our game ANYWHERE!

Please, consider featuring it on your channel.

Trailer: Google Drive folder
Press kit: ANYWHERE Press Kit
Steam page: ANYWHERE on Steam
Unlisted YouTube trailer: ANYWHERE Announcement Trailer

Game description: ANYWHERE is a surreally strange co-op horror game about going deeper into a procedural complex while finding enigmatic entities, paranormal items able to modify the map itself, portals to hidden dimensions and other even weirder oddities.

Hi! Thanks a lot for sending ANYWHERE, the concept looks really cool. I’d be happy to feature it on Indie Signal with a short commentary of my own. Just to be safe, can you confirm I have your permission to re-upload the announcement trailer on my channel? Also, is the Drive version the best quality available, and how would you like to be credited? I’ll make sure to link your Steam page in the description.

Hi! Quick update: the ANYWHERE trailer is already live on TikTok, and it will be published on YouTube today at 10:00 AM (UTC).

📱 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@indiesignal.dev
▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Indie_Signal

Could you take a look and check that everything is good (credits, links, description)? If you want anything changed, just tell me and I’ll fix it right away. Thanks again for sending the game, it looks amazing!

Hi! I develop Endless Tower · Les Gardiens du Cristal, a browser tower-defense demo: build floors, merge guardians and protect the crystal. It is still in development, with provisional visuals.

Trailer (30 seconds, French narration):

The gameplay in this trailer comes from the older test build 1.35.10; the playable demo has evolved since then.

Playable demo in English: https://yskillstudio.com/games/endless-tower/test/?lang=en

Current gameplay screenshot, captured in 1.42.0: https://x.com/EndlessTowerYS/status/2109428908487479786

Would this browser-demo format fit Indie Signal? The studio name is YSkill Studio. Thanks for offering a spotlight to small projects!

Indie Signal19 days ago

Hi! Thanks a lot for sending Endless Tower, a browser tower-defense demo is a great fit for Indie Signal since people can try it in one click. 🙂

A few quick questions before I feature it:

Do you give me permission to re-upload the trailer on my YouTube and TikTok channels?
My channel is in English. Do you have a version with English subtitles or narration? If not, would you be okay with me adding English subtitles myself?
How would you like to be credited (studio name, links)?

I’ll mention that the trailer comes from an older build and that the visuals are provisional, and I’ll link the playable demo in the description. I’ll let you know as soon as the video is live!

Hi! Thanks for sending Too Angry to Clean, a “cleaning simulator in reverse” with co-op destruction is a really fun hook. 😄 A few quick questions before I feature it:

Do you give me permission to re-upload the trailer on my YouTube and TikTok channels?
Could you share a direct link to the best-quality version (YouTube or Drive)?
How would you like to be credited (studio name, links)? I’ll link the Steam page so people can wishlist it ahead of the Q1 2027 release.
I’ll let you know as soon as it’s live!

Hi! I develop John Big, a top-down pixel-noir shooter where one bullet means one body. Story campaign of a cop's revenge, endless tower mode and co-op up to 4. Already released, free and playable in the browser in one click.

Trailer (1:30):

Play on CrazyGames: https://www.crazygames.com/game/john-big

Play on itch.io: https://lordmoon1337.itch.io/john-big

You have my permission to repost the trailer on YouTube and TikTok. Credit: John Big by LordMoon1337. The music ("La Nuit de John Big") is an original song made for the game, so it's safe to use. Happy to send a vertical cut or anything else you need. Thanks for doing this!

Indie Signal10 days ago

Hi! Thanks a lot for the details and the permission, that makes things easy. John Big looks great, and being free and playable in one click in the browser is perfect for my audience. I’d love the vertical cut for TikTok, please. Could you also send a link to the best-quality version of the 1:30 trailer? I’ll credit “John Big by LordMoon1337” and link both the itch.io and CrazyGames pages. I’ll message you when it’s live!

Hi Indie Signal!

I'd like to submit the official 33-second trailer for Anomaly Grid, an upcoming sci-fi turn-based strategy puzzle game.

Trailer:

You're welcome to publish the trailer on your YouTube channel.

Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for sending Anomaly Grid, a sci-fi turn-based strategy puzzle looks like a great fit. You gave permission for YouTube, so just to confirm: are you also okay with me posting it on TikTok? And how would you like to be credited (studio name, links)? I’ll link the Steam page in the description so people can wishlist it. I’ll let you know as soon as the video is live!

Indie Signal10 days ago

Hi again! One more thing: could you also send a thumbnail for the video? A 1920x1080 image works best. If you don’t have one, no problem, I can make one from a frame of the trailer. Thanks!

Neurostructure9 days ago

Hi! Yes, you're welcome to publish the Anomaly Grid trailer on both YouTube and TikTok!

Please credit it as Anomaly Grid by Neurostructure Studio, with a link to the Steam page.

I'd be happy to send you a 1920x1080 thumbnail, but I'd prefer to share it privately rather than post the link publicly.

Could you please provide an email address where I can send it?

If that's not possible, no problem at all! Feel free to create your own thumbnail using a frame from the trailer.

Thanks again! I really appreciate your support!

Indie Signal7 days ago

Hi! Thanks a lot for the permission, and I’ll credit it exactly as “Anomaly Grid by Neurostructure Studio” with the Steam link in the description. Sure, you can send the thumbnail to me at [storify.fr@gmail.com]. I’ll let you know here as soon as the video is live!

Hi Indie Signal! I’m Jaehoon from SONGISTORE. I’d love to submit Abyss Expedition, our Android/iPhone dungeon game.

The hook: chase a rare prize on the current loot board or move to a fresh one, fit your equipment into a limited bag, then discover hidden recipes and take that build into battle.

Suggested English trailer: hidden recipe → Mythic weapon → battle (15.6 seconds, vertical 1080×1920):

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.songistore.abyssexpedition

US App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6811085449

You’re welcome to feature/re-upload these supplied trailers on Indie Signal’s YouTube and TikTok, with credit “Abyss Expedition by SONGISTORE” and an official store link. This is for your free showcase.

The game is free to download with ads and optional in-app purchases, including randomized items. The clips are edited actual gameplay with staged demonstration inventories, not a continuous first run or guaranteed loot. AI-assisted artwork and synthetic English narration are used.

Thanks for helping small games get discovered!

Running Late developers7 days ago

Hey!

I'll keep this short, and if you are interested, we could talk more. :)

Im part of a team that is developing Running Late!, a 3d comedy platformer game. It's fully play-able, but we dont have a lot of maps made yet, so for now there are only 2 levels made + community maps. It's free for everyone during early access, and those helping with feedback will recieve a free copy on steam once it releases!

Have a look at it. If it looks interesting, let me know! Hope to hear from you

https://kriseike.itch.io/running-late

Its more of a gameplay trailer, but it shows the game at least. ;)

Indie Signal7 days ago

Hey! Thanks for reaching out, a comedic 3D platformer with community maps sounds like a fun fit for Indie Signal, and free during early access is great for my audience. A few quick questions before I feature it:

Do you give me permission to re-upload the gameplay trailer on my YouTube and TikTok channels?
Could you send a direct link to the best-quality version (YouTube or Drive)?
How would you like to be credited (team or studio name, links)? I’ll link your itch.io page in the description.
I’ll also mention that it’s in early access with 2 levels plus community maps, so expectations are clear. I’ll let you know here as soon as it’s live!

Running Late developers7 days ago

Thanks for the reply and interest! :)

You of course have permission to upload anything you wish from the game, be it the world maker, character creator, gameplay, etc etc.

We only have 2 videos so far, so feel free to pick any you wish if you want to feature them. The main trailer is almost 6 minutes long, but the last 2 minutes can be skipped, as it's simply a joke-segment.
https://www.youtube.com/@Alex-Running-late

We can be credited as simply the developers behind Running Late!. We don't really have a studio name or anything. Just 3 people working on it for fun, which spiralled out of control and went from a 2d straight runner into a full on 3d platforming game with world building and character customization and probably even more on the way. The other devs hate me and all my ideas, heh.

Let me know if you need anything else! :)

Indie Signal5 days ago

Hi! Thanks a lot for the permission and the details, that’s really generous. Could you send me the direct link to the video you’d like me to feature? Your channel has two videos, so I just want to pick the right one.

About the main trailer: since it’s almost 6 minutes, I’m thinking of using only the first part and skipping the joke segment at the end, as you suggested. Is that okay with you? I’ll credit it as “Running Late! by the Running Late! developers” and link your itch.io page in the description, plus a note that it’s in early access with 2 levels and community maps.

I’ll let you know here as soon as it’s live!

Running Late developers5 days ago

You can use whichever you'd like, both if you want that. All up to you :)
And yes i would skip the joke, it's not needed, just a funny little gag for those that stay until the end. ;)

You have pretty free reigns from us. Post whatever you wish from the game! :)

Pourriez-vous m'envoyer un lien direct vers le fichier vidéo pour que je puisse le télécharger ? Un lien Google Drive ou Dropbox serait idéal (la vidéo complète, en meilleure qualité).

TROK ENGINE7 days ago

Hi! Do you also consider game-making tools, or is Indie Signal strictly for games? I'm the developer of TROK ENGINE, a Windows visual editor for visual novels and story-driven 2D adventures. The useful angle would be a short demonstration of a clue unlocking a new dialogue choice, showing both the scene and how an author sets it up.

I wanted to check the fit before sending a tool demo into a game-trailer thread. Would that be relevant to your audience?

Indie Signal5 days ago(+1)

Hi! Thanks for checking the fit first, I really appreciate it. Indie Signal focuses mainly on game trailers, but a game-making tool is a nice change of pace for my audience, especially for anyone who dreams of building their own visual novel. So yes, feel free to send it!

You have two options:
• A short demo (ideally under 2 minutes), like your idea of a clue unlocking a new dialogue choice, showing both the scene and how it’s set up in the editor.
• A longer video presenting the full tool, if you’d like to show everything TROK ENGINE can do. That’s welcome too!

When you send it, please include:

A direct link to the best-quality version (YouTube or Drive).
Your permission to re-upload it on my YouTube and TikTok channels.
How you’d like to be credited (your name or studio, plus links), where people can get TROK ENGINE (itch.io, Steam, your website), and whether it’s free or paid.

I’ll make it clear in the description that this is a tool, not a game. Looking forward to seeing it!

TROK ENGINE3 days ago

Hi! Thanks for welcoming TROK ENGINE to Indie Signal.

I’ll prepare a short demo, aiming for under two minutes: a player discovers a clue, a new dialogue option becomes available, and then we show how that interaction is set up in the editor.

TROK ENGINE is a visual editor for visual novels and story-driven 2D adventures. It’s currently available for Windows, with the 0.x early-access versions free to download.

Please credit it as TROK ENGINE by Max Trokay.

Website: https://trokengine.com/en/
Download: https://maxtrokaygmailcom.itch.io/trok-engine

I’ll send a direct link to the finished video together with confirmation of permission to re-upload that video to your YouTube and TikTok channels. Thanks again!

TROK ENGINE2 days ago

Hi! The TROK ENGINE demo is ready — thanks again for welcoming a game-making tool to Indie Signal.

Original MP4 (1:31, English):

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lr8zL35r8bUYvK_H75FgJBwn_V9kgWwm/view

You can watch it or download the original file from Drive; no access request is needed.

The video shows how the scene is set up in the editor, followed by gameplay: reading a notice unlocks a new dialogue choice, the power fails, and the player continues exploring with a flashlight. “Someone at the Door” is a sample made with TROK ENGINE.

You have my permission to re-upload this video on Indie Signal’s YouTube and TikTok channels, with the credit and links below.

Thank you for making it clear that this is a game-making tool. Looking forward to seeing the feature!

Hi Indie Signal! I’m Yue, the developer of CardCraft Engineering, an upcoming Windows card strategy game. Players design cards by choosing their stats and skills, build a deck, then test their creations in turn-based battles. The idea began with paper cards I drew with classmates in high school.
