Hey there.
So, one of the "pay what you want" bundles is setup by a man with the handle Gnome (from Gnome's Lair) which is a great indie games site. The current Bundle in a Box is called the "Deep Space" version. You get the following games:
- Space Giraffe
- Death Ray Manta
- The Wreckless
- Dark Scavenger
- Armalyte
- War Mac 2000
- Squid Yes Not So Octopus
- SYNSO: Squid Harder
- Squid and Let Die
- FISHFISHBANGBANG
- Ambiomat
- War Twat
If you beat the average, you get Sol: Exodus, Miner Wars Areana, RobotRiot and some Armalyte Extras.
Now, this is all pretty cool and I would post a message about it anyway. However, they are doing something pretty nifty when you buy the bundle.
They have something called an Indie Developer Grant -- part of your purchase goes to a prize to help get one of about 15 games developed. You can vote on which game you'd like that to be.
I have one of the games in the running. It is going to be a CRPG/text game hybrid called Cyberganked. There have been some discussions about how I am going to implement it in the Wasteland 2 base (I'll eventually pull those threads and move them so they don't muck up discussion about Wasteland 2). My goal is to make a CRPG without any of the awkward dialogue, people, storylines and quests that you commonly see in modern and old CRPG games. I'm also doing the entire thing in CGA graphics. The last time I checked I got like 5 votes, so I think writing about it here can't hurt.
The write-up for Cyberganked, including a screenshot, is right here: http://blog.bundle-in-a-box.com/?p=141 (You can vote when you get the e-mail link to download the games.)
Thanks, and enjoy the bundle.
