New details and trailer emerge for the Indie Games Summer Uprising

New details have emerged about that upcoming hot-weather indie game promotion known as the Indie Game Summer Uprising. The event’s organizers have revealed the upcoming promotion will highlight ten games: one a day from Monday, August 21 through Friday, September 2. They’ve also released a new trailer showcasing some of the potential games that could make it into the promotion.

The games in the trailer are only a handful of the many that are vying for those ten slots in the summer promotion. The first eight games will be chosen by the developers, who will be voting on each other’s submissions from now until July 18. Each developer will have to vote for at least 8 games in order to prevent that rather awkward situation where each game receives exactly 1 vote. The final two games will be chosen by the fans, who will be able to vote for their favorite games from August 1 and August 15 on the Summer Uprising Facebook page.

We’ll keep you updated on the Summer Uprising as more details emerge and the selected games are announced.
