RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

SUMMER SALE!!!!

12 July, 2012 - emnii | 0 Comments

It's time for the summer sale! Here are the unofficial rules of the summer sale!

If the game isn't a daily deal, flash deal, or community deal, WAIT! Don't buy it yet! It may go on one of those types of deals, which will be the lowest price! Even games that are 50% off or more will get deeper discounts if they go on daily, flash, or community sale!

Daily deals last for about 24 hours. Usually 25, because the sale price sticks around for about an hour after the deal has dropped off the daily sale slot. But don't wait that long, if a game you want is on daily sale, get it.

Community deals and flash deals are new this time around. Vote on games you want to see on sale for community sales, and the one that wins is on sale at daily deal price for 8 hours.

Flash deals appear to be on a 5 hour lifespan. They're cheap, daily deal cheap, and I don't know if any of them will show up again as daily deals, so if there is a game you want on flash sale, get it!

BADGES! There doesn't appear to be a contest or prizes tied to these, so they might just be for bragging rights. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look at my profile and the badges section on the right. They're not making a big deal about these, but I'm a sucker for recognition of the dumb things I do. The Pillar of Community badge is a good Steam tutorial, and the Summer Sale 2012 badge seems easy to get if you're on top of voting for community deals. Also, look at my badges. Look at them. You will never have as many or as awesome of badges as I do.

Indie Royale - April Fools Bundle

4 April, 2012 - emnii | 0 Comments

The (two days late) April Fools bundle has opened up. Defense Grid: The Awakening is a very solid tower defense. Sci-fi, aliens, some Portal themed DLC (not included, yet), it's totally worth the price of the bundle alone.

Hack, Slash, Loot is an interesting rogue-like. If you're not familiar with rogue-likes, they're randomly generated, usually turn-based, dungeon crawls. HSL has a very lo-fi style, but it definitely has that "I'll quit after I clear one more room" charm.

I don't know what to make of Explodemon. It kind of looks like Mega Man, but it plays like a slow version of Splosion Man. It's kind of a puzzle platformer, so not really my thing.

Astro Tripper is a sidescrolling shooter, except it doesn't autoscroll. It's got a lot of colors and kind of strange controls because the player controls movement and can flip from shooting right to shooting left.

Alien Zombie Megadeath is an action platformer. Aliens show up, you hop around and shoot them. It's almost wave based, except that there are different levels.

So get this bundle for Defense Grid and Hack, Slash, Loot, and consider the rest interesting extras. Or if you're on the game development team, check out the other games because they're pretty clearly XBLIG or XBLA ports.
