The onward march of the bundles of March

You can currently get Jet Set Radio on Greenman Gaming for £2.03, if that's all you want. I traded in some dross and got it for nowt. And because it's on Steam I didn't even have to reinstall their Capsule downloader doohicky, which was nice.

Just wait for the Xmas sale for JSR, then. It was down 50% during the Thanksgiving sale without ever being a daily or flash, so if it shows up as daily or flash during the Xmas one you'd easily be looking at a 66%-75% discount.
Christ. If it goes down to 75%, I'm gonna have to buy a bunch to gift away to friends! JSR for 2€? Don't mind if I do!

Edit: or what Col said. Damn, that's a nice deal. Wonder if it stacks with the typical GMG code shenanigans?

ugh.

IFK was a disaster waiting to happen - everything about it looked and felt wrong - eitehr badly organised or just outright dishonest...

So this isn't entirely a surprise is it?

The debate was missing the other side and this article adds some details.

I still go "ugh" because somehow I feel guilty for keeping them into rotation, so to speak. Even though it probably didn't make much difference, I'm that kind of person :|

On the one hand I feel bad for the developers, but on the other hand they should have run a mile when they saw the 'contracts' in that blog post. They're quite clearly put together by someone who has no clue what he's doing.

Groupees has added and unlocked a couple music bonuses, and also announced their next goal: Enclave Gold Edition, @ 6,000 bundles sold.

Man, reading through that contract is painful. I don't even know why half of the stuff is even in there and the vague promises of payment splits is red alert central.

But grim stuff all round, really. Especially as it turns out that a number of other developers haven't been paid also.

There's a follow up post from GATT but man, it's fairly hard going.

Well, if the Bundle In a Box site is to be believed, Shadows on the Vatican is going to be in the Eclectic Delights Bundle, which makes sense, come to think of it.

[alms]

BundleStars has added another game: Real Warfare 2: Northern Crusades. Added deadlines to all current bundles in Post #1.

Looks like IndieRoyale Winter Bundle has been pushed forward? maybe waiting for the competition to shut down their bundles, that way the Xmas 2.0 bundle would end up being launched during Steam's christmas sale, something they avoided last year.

[RobF]

Bundle In A Box is go tomorrow. 9 games.

[johnki]

Awesome! Finally. Any chance you know about what time tomorrow?

[DevinSmoth]

Did I miss a post about what games were in a bundle in a box?

[johnki]

No. To my knowledge, the one I mentioned above was the only one mentioned.

[RobF]

Should be up sometime in the afternoon. No idea precisely but probably somewhere between 2 and 4 if my own experience is anything to go by.

Thanks for the heads up!

Eclectic Delights Bundle: Pay What You Want for 9 Great Indie Games



Having obsessively researched the wild and wonderful world of indie gaming, Bundle In A Box returns and is proud to present the Eclectic Delights bundle. It’s a fine assortment of 9 delightful, truly indie offerings everyone can enjoy for the most reasonable price of “pay-what-you-want” over at http://www.bundle-in-a-box.com/.



The bundle, a Kyttaro Games (http://www.kyttarogames.com/) effort to promote indie developers and quality games, is launching this Tuesday the 4^th of December 2012, will last for 14 days and offer all games as DRM-free downloads (but not exclusively so; most games are also available on Desura and/or Steam ).



The Eclectic Delights bundle is all about …


… selecting the best and most intriguing games across all genres .


Gamers will get to enjoy a rich compilation of both successful and less known games, that have all made it through the painful, slightly silly, but always thorough Bundle In A Box selection process.



… fantastic indie games.



Paying anything above $0.99 will get you:



-elegant RTS War of the Human Tanks (Windows/Desura)
-Lovecraftian yet cute platformer Eversion (Windows/Mac/Steam)
-gloriously pixelated adventure/strategy Delve Deeper (Windows/Steam)
-Russian horror offering Fibrillation (Windows /Desura)
-point-and-click mystery Shadows of the Vatican, Act: I (Windows/Desura)



… even more games.



Beating the average price will allow gamers to enjoy four more excellent games:



-award winning platformer Adventures of Shuggy (Windows/Steam/Desura)
-surreal horror game The 4^th Wall (Windows)
-FMV rhythm-action-fighter Stay Dead (Windows/Mac/Desura)
-retro-tastique, hilarious maze-‘em-up Flibble (Windows)


… directly supporting upcoming game developers.



For every 100 bundles sold $10 will be added to our Indie Dev Grant and the whole sum will be awarded to a developer selected by vote; no strings will be attached as to how the grant will be used.



… charity.



5% of all revenues will be shared with the Hellenic Centre for Mental Health and Treatment of Child and Family.



… all sorts of extras.



What’s more, for every 1000 bundles sold new extras will be unlocked for everyone who grabbed the Eclectic Delights offer. Unlockable extras include:



-The complete and formerly unreleased soundtrack of forthcoming mobile game Droidscape: Basilica
-The Adventures of Shuggy soundtrack
-Sound of the Human Tanks: the War of the Human Tanks OST
-The Adventures of Shuggy digital comic-book
-The Shadows of the Cathedral soundtrack



As an added bonus, all who purchase the bundle will get access to exclusive content for Droidcape: Basilica (http://www.kyttarogames.com/?page_id=384); KyttaroGames’ own upcoming game for iOS and Android.
