April is a murderer's row of indie games, isn't it. I'm most interested in Cosmic Star Heroine and What Remains of Edith Finch, but the Low Road is right up my alley as well, and I haven't even touched Thimbleweed Park or Rain World.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
It doesn't seem like a lot of people have caught on to Humble's April 1st prank? It's a lot like the Freedom bundle in terms of value. Someone should probably a make a thread about it, since 668 bundles sold seems kinda low.

I forgot about Cosmic Star Heroine... what have I done?

Looking forward to it as well, but P5 has already stretched my budget thin. The age of wantonly buying games only dawns when Total Warhammer releases new stuff.

Wait, is it confirmed to include the actual games? Because I'm pretty sure it's just a book print of the article about the bundles.

This is what it says:

"Humble Bundle - Games from Humble Indie Bundle 1-17
The Internet
Redemption deadline is April 18th, 2017 @ 11:59 PM Pacific. Copies estimated to ship by April 30th. Redeem via your Download Page."

I haven't bought it, but I'd be really surprised if they were pretending to sell you games.

I support this message.

SEGA needs to get that shit remastered for glorious 4k vision, stat. There is no good reason for the best games to be stuck in console hell.

that was probably not the greatest of ideas since it'll make things difficult early on but i'm pretty sure u can keep playing and it won't matter

i think the faction stuff is more important in clear skies

Between the surprise bayonetta steam tease and the surpise first episode of Rick and Morty Season 3, this has been one of the better april 1st trolls in a while.

people also seem to really like stand alone complex (i don't agree but to each their own) so maybe look into that, but definitely give the movie a watch

The pediapress.com page includes a preview, which certainly makes it look like an actual physical book - especially with options for hardcover binding and colour interior

As for the "Wikpedia Bundle...

The Humble Wikipedia Bundle [edit]

This article is about the three-day Humble Bundle. For free access to the contents of the bundle, see Wikipedia.

The Humble Wikipedia Bundle 2016 Edition (/'eɪprəl 'fuːlz 'bʌndəl/) contains "the greatest content Humble Bundle has ever offered."[1] This unprecedented bundle includes 100% of human knowledge[citation needed] and probably some knowledge from extraterrestrials, too (see Reptilians).

There are currently over 5,372,700 articles (at least 200,000 hours of reading, but math is hard) in English Wikipedia.[needs update] You can already read any of the content whenever you want, but when you purchase this bundle, we'll dump it all into your lap.

Yes, you will seriously get over five million articles, jammed into ridiculously large DRM-free image-free text files. For $35 USD, we'll also mail a physical volume on one of our favorite topics to your doorstep. Your friends will be impressed.[disputed - discuss]

So why buy the cow when you can have the milk for free? Because then you'll have a cow, and cows are awesome.[clarification needed] Also, 100% of your payment will go to the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit charitable organization that operates Wikipedia. With enough donations, they could stop putting up those yellow boxes (see Deadpool).

Considering how much of your life you've lost to Wikipedia, you should consider just giving them your money, too.[2]

The Wikipedia Bundle might also be some sort of announcement/advertisement that you can order bound print copies of Wikipedia articles in the first place.

Huh, just noticed that Thea: The Awakening (that glorious 4X I keep talking about every few months) had a sequel announced:

Thea 2: The Shattering
1d88e7e42b0d2d74eb452cdf5ea31e5afe8c5dd5.jpg

Coming in 2018, Thea 2 will be a story-driven, strategy-survival 4X set in a world where the forces of light and darkness are ravaging the lands. Those who still eke out their existence in this lonely land strive for survival and dominance over the fractured territories. Assume the role of a deity, choose your champions, and survive Thea!

Like the original, Thea 2 will reshape your expectations, featuring a dynamic mixture of genres including 4X, strategy, survival, Rogue-like, RPG, and card games all set in a Slavic-inspired dark fantasy world.

  • Explore – traverse large, varied maps with multiple unique biomes, mysterious islands that can be settled, rivers and seas, beautiful resources and fearsome creatures to kill or befriend. Find, explore, and conquer a range of different dungeons to secure lands and discover rare artifacts
  • Expand – play as a lonesome nomad – a hero without a home seeking only adventure- or set up multiple camps and multiple villages to claim your own fiefdom. Fight or befriend opposing factions to keep your people safe
  • Exploit – find precious resources, learn new procedurally-generated recipes, and craft your way to victory!
  • Exterminate – fight against the many beasts of Thea! Kill off threatening factions or hunt down rogue demons, challenge concepts like weather, or turmoil and beings alike using swords, intelligence, or the power of faith!

Key features:

  • Co-op and single player gameplay – survive Thea with friends or solo
  • New, deeper and improved tactical card game to resolve challenges and encounters
  • Randomly generated, vast hex maps to explore
  • Slavic mythology and folklore
  • Hundreds of stories and quests to discover
  • Event editor gives you the ability to make your own adventure
  • Extensive modding and scripting available
  • Meet the vast array of factions that populate Thea and choose diplomacy or warfare as your path
  • Customize existing gods to match your playstyle
  • Control multiple villages simultaneously
  • Explore endless combinations of attributes and skills for your “chosen ones”

There's some pics, but it still seems very early, no real gameplay images.

Get hyped, SteamGAF. Total Warhammer and Paradox just got some competition.
