It's not perfect since point lights don't cast shadows in my engine, but it looks like I have a torch!

Sometimes I scroll through steam categories to see where my game shows up (this is under "pirates"), I thought it was funny to see @eternalskiestcg.bsky.social basically right above my game A Short Odyssey in the list.

Hey Indie devs, where do you share your trailers?

I think I finally have a decent trailer for my game but I'm not really sure where I should share it. Any ideas would be very much appreciated 🙏
