Happy New Year!
We Survived 2020, New Gaming Videos, and IntroCave Drops
If you're reading this, we did it! We survived 2020! Go ahead and pat yourself on the back.
Despite its (few) ups and (lots of) downs, 2020 was a pretty good year for IntroCave.
I get asked for free videos a lot. I usually decline them, mostly because it's just not scalable. HD videos take a long time to render and it takes me a minute or two to create a coupon for a free render.
But it bugs me. I wish I could do more to support people who can't purchase videos. When I finally get around to building Intro Maker, it will likely have a generous free tier.
Introducing: IntroCave Drops.
IntroCave Drops
While it would be awesome if I could give away free custom intros without going broke, I've had a thought lingering in my brain for over a year: Not every video needs to be custom to be useful.
I actually registered a domain for this idea in 2019, but I never got around to building it. While making a gif for the newsletter this month, the idea bubbled back up to the front of my brain. What if... I didn't actually build anything? What if I just rendered a bunch of videos and threw them up on a static page for anyone to grab?
Whether I add more video content to that page over time will depend on how much traffic that page gets. If I get good feedback on it, I can someday build out a more complicated system with filters and search... but I don't need any of that to launch.
We'll see how it goes!

10 New Gaming Intro Video Templates for January 2021
I'm playing around with some new formats this month: a larger-than-normal logo option with no subtitle, a full screen replacement, and a Versus template that allows you to pit two logos against each other.
You can preview ALL of the new intro videos in my monthly intro reel on YouTube. If you're reading this, you should subscribe to my channel!
