[50+ Key Giveaway] The Joust

Dear all,

I'm the lead developer on an Indie Game project called The Joust and I'm here to conduct a giveaway!

The Joust is a physics-simulation combat game with more than 80 different classes to choose from, competitive PVP on four continents, immersive NPC opponents, and playable elephants. That's right, playable elephants!

The Joust is updated very frequently and has an evergrowing community!

We're hoping to invite many people from around the world to play our game!

As such, we've requested that Steam provide us with a number of product codes to share with the internet!

We'll be giving out AT LEAST 50 keys to members of this subreddit!

Most gratefully,

The Joust Development Team

Working to channel absurdism in our social media content... rate the absurdity from 1-10?

DISCLOSURE:
The short-video attached is ultimately a promotional video for a video game that I am working with a small team to develop!

Extremely new to shortform content creation... but think absurdity is a fun approach to try to take. If you would be so kind as to rate the absurdity of the attached YouTube Short from 0-10, with 10 being completely absurd and 0 being absolutely otherwise... we'd be very grateful!

Is this even absurd? or just stupid?

Most gratefully,

Ty

I hadn't edited videos in more than fifteen years... then I made a trailer

The first time I ever edited a video was Windows Movie Maker. My neighbors were playing street hockey and I wanted to produce it like ESPN... I got pretty close to ESPN-quality, I thought at the time, with my out-of-the-box white text on blue background and slow motion slapshots.

I never did much of it after those days... until now :D

We'll likely make changes to this, but before we do... we were hoping to collect more feedback!

Please enjoy, The Joust - Rough Cut Trailer

and do roast it :D

aaaaand... if you think it might be fun... wishlist it and join the playtest today!
