The onward march of the bundles of March

[alms]

Those games look pretty cool. Has anyone played any of these? Especially curious about Vampires, Phantasmaburbia and JULIA.

I was curious about Vampires! as well but couldn't find anything - doesn't help that the title isn't really that google friendly.

IIRC JULIA is supposed to go through a graphic overhaul at some point in the future, character design frequently attracted criticism, and since we're on the subject, this time the game has been included through the devs rather than the (dick) publisher as it happened for Groupees KISS bundle - so they're gonna get paid.

I Get This Call Every Day was (is?) a free game that turned payware when the dev lost his day job as a consequence of releasing the game. I was sure I'd read about it on RPS but couldn't find it so maybe it was somewhere else.

Dinner Date also got its share of praise a couple years ago. I'm not familiar with the other titles, but the iOS version of Dédale seemed to have great metacritic scores FWIW.

Oh, just FTR, RPS coverage is usually linked in the OP, saves a bit of googling.

Last round of IGD nominees:

Tides of Glory
Whispering Willows (multiplatform horror puzzle game)
Perdgard (survival turn-based strategy with permadeath)
Galactose: Pastries in Space
The Curious Expedition
Vertigo (vertical FPS platformer with a top-down perspective)
TRI (FPS puzzle game)
Snazzle

AFAIK, it was never free. It was a Ludum Dare game that didn't get finished in time for LD and then subsequently was released for pay before he lost his job (the game was the reason he lost his job).

It was linked in a Sunday Papers article

[alms]

I stand corrected then - I rarely read the sunday papers though, and on second thought, I must have heard about it on Twitter, that may also be the reason why my recollection wasn't perfect.

Yeah... I meant five... Was just coming back to edit.

Also, the new indie royal was never mentioned... I don't think...

No worries, for a moment there I thought they already released the new one. I did post about it on the previous page, it's also in the OP which is now up-to-date again.

[DevinSmoth]

And now... a new IndieGala... yay for us...

Not very exciting... though Warlock is quite good...

[Anthile]

I am always amazed as to where those bundles scrape their games from. I mean, Chrome? Really? Not to mention Still Life 1+2. I wouldn't wish those on my worst enemy. Well, except for the one time I forced myself to play them...
Anyways, just stay away from this.

[alms]

So, IndieGala Dwarves:

PWYW: Nosferatu - The Wrath of Malachi, Street Racing Syndicate, Gettysburg: Armored Warfare, + 1 secret
BTA: Guilty Gear Isuka, Gun Metal, A Game of Dwarves, Warlock - Master of the Arcane + 2 secrets

http://www.indiegala.com

If only I had snatched that CK2 pack on Amazon :|

Rhetoric question? Publishers' catalogs. The crap mines are usually Meridian4 and Strategy 1st, sometimes 1C.

From their youtube post:

Ill finally get my hands on Dawnstar. Been eyeing that in gmg for quite some time now.

[alms]

Damn, I was hoping for TWA. Anyway, I'm gonna get Dawnstar because of the music and the Cowboy Bebop-pish trailer, and either Storm or Dawning.

(Post #2 is up-to-date, too.)

[Rauten]

Another one looking to get his hands on Dawnstar. No idea what my other pick will be, though, nothing really catches my eye.

[johnki]

I hear Dawnstar had a lot of problems, so this is a price I'd be willing to get it for. Also going to pick up Nethergate.

[alms]
