I only want Thirty Flights Of Loving, since I already own most of the rest or have no interest in it. The fixed price and limited duration makes this less interesting as well. Can't really see it doing too well, honestly.

Yup. Had they left the original lineup I'd probably bite, but I'd only like TFOL and Offspring Fling right now.
The Indie Hug Bundle has been added as a tier on Maia's Kickstarter.
It's not a pay what you want bundle, more an added incentive to back at higher tiers. The developers agreed to the bundle to support Maia, really nice to see indie devs supporting each other like this! The bundle includes:
2 copies of Maia (+ alpha access)
VVVVVV
Project Zomboid
Revenge of the Titans
Death Ray Manta
Battle Cave
Maia wallpapers
Maia digital concept art and development book
Maia soundtrack
Name a character in Maia
Your name in the credits on the game's website
The indie bundle is included in the £56+ tiers.

Even though it was advertised as such, at the moment, the bundle doesn't contain Steam keys for TFOL or Puzzle Bots. Don't know if those will be added later, but yeah.
EDIT: There were 100 codes to get the bundle for free posted on reddit like 40 minutes ago.
http://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/comments/13pvvl/super_shock_bundle_13_games_for_13/
Maybe some still work. You can enter them at checkout. Just tried a few and they still seemed to be valid.
Bumping cause there's less than 50 minutes left. Apparently those codes are all used up
. Still, more people need to play Deepak. Probability 0 is awesome too.Well it's already 1$ on Steam.

A reminder to people interested in Caster that they might want to take a look at the $4 IndieFort Countdown Bundles instead.
If you buy all four bundles you get the 5th for free, which averaged out means 20 games for $10.

Caster is also 99 cents on Steam right now anyway.

I'm really conflicted about Caster: it's not a looker, but its mechanics are ridiculously fast 'n fun
- and the female caster is an homage of P.N.03... but the game IS incomplete, and the developer seems to have abandoned the idea of update it.
I recomend to try the demo: if you like it OK, but remember it's basically half of the game.
(except the level with the transporter, fuck it and whoever designed it)

New indie game bundle site up, Bundle Stars.
Bundle #1: Dynamite (Bundle runs for another 23 days)
Men of War: Vietnam - Steam Activated
Off-Road Drive - Steam Activated
Reign: Conflict of Nations - Steam Activated
Death to Spies: Moment of Truth - Steam Activated
Death Track: Resurrection - Steam Activated
Star Wolves 2 - Steam Activated
Real Warfare 1242 - Steam Activated
Real Warfare 2: Northern Crusades (This one is unlocked on Facebook...) - Steam Activated
Current Price (as of this post): $6.68
As a final note, I would have bought this myself, but then I realized that these are all 1C games, and that they all were included in that huge 80+ game $20 1C Complete Pack deal GamersGate had back in April. Of course these all have Steam keys, but this is just a heads up for anyone else who was thinking about getting it.

So you pay and then give them free advertising before you get the code, or can you get the game via Facebook for free?

No, you have to buy the bundle first and then they keep your key hostage until you unlock it on Facebook.
That is such an incredibly stupid thing to do I'm not giving these idiots any money.

I probably should have checked the page for longer than a few seconds, thanks for the information.
Yeah it's pretty ridiculous, at least it's not mandatory I guess. It's a shame, Real Warfare 2 doesn't look that bad.
"Bundle Stars is a division of Focus Multimedia Ltd"
It's another publisher bundle rather than a true "indie" bundle. Still a good price.

Cryostasis was on a BeMine Bundle not long ago. It was the only game in that bundle that I had any interest on.
Sadly enough, it's the onyl game I'd want out of this bundle (but I already have it!)
And since they fixed the "exploit" of buying early and getting 4 gifts at a later date for only 1 buck.. No interest in this whatsoever.
I wonder what the hidden games will be.
Edit: Wait, Necrovision.. that sounds familiar.

more games from 1C Company
weren't most of the games in indie gala 10 also from 1C Company?

IFK does not exist anymore. The story will make you think twice before starting your own bundle.
Reference.
Edit: The guy has some serious ennemies.

General consensus is that Star Wolves is utter crap. I already got Cryostasis from the Haunted Be Mine Bundle or whatever it's called. So I'm only paying 1 buck for Necrovision (I'm cheap like that).
If any of the extra bundles are worth anything, I'll wait for the happy hour and buy it then.

I believe most of them were from Paradox, most from other bundles have been 1C though. I'm going to buy this one, like all the others, though I wouldn't have to if Amazon would have released that mega 1C pack a few months ago like they were supposed to. Sadly, the best game in this bundle (Imperial Glory), I already own on GOG. I hope one of the unlockables is Star Wolves 2 (which hasn't been in an Indie Gala yet, afaik) or Men of War: Vietnam (the only one I actually care about).

Yeah, what a jackass. I actually upvoted his Depth Hunter game on steam greenlight when greenlight first showed up. I went back in and took it away.
I don't like supporting extortionists.
I didn't buy anything from Indie Face Kick because not even 1 of the games looked interesting or worth my money.
Actually That's not true.
IFK1 had: Sol Survivor, and Still Life 2. The other games are mediocre and I already had 90% of them.
IFK2 had: Alien Shooter and depth hunter (games I already had from other bundles)
IFK3 had: not a single game I was interested in.

Okay since you asked Bundle Stars.
currently $6.68:
Men of War: Vietnam
Off-Road Drive
Reign: Conflict of Nations
Death to Spies: Moment of Truth
Death Track: Resurrection
Star Wolves 2
Real Warfare 1242
Real Warfare 2: Nothern Crusades
All are Steam keys. Have no clue what the "unlock with facebook" shit is though.
Outside of Biart who was a jerk, there was an obvious problem with the Indie Face Kick bundle, namely that they tended to be $8 or $10 minimum but weren't games that actually deserved that high a price. I hate to say it, but the competition just had better looking games for lower minimums. Disregarding Humble Bundle because it's far above any of them in selection, Indie Royale, Indie Gala, and Groupees generally had better looking games.
Talking about Indie Gala ... anyone know why the hell they does SO MUCH Steamgifts Giveaways ?

Well, the new greenlight and desura comments on the game's page will probably do enough damage to this developer.

I assume it's an easy way for users to get steamgift points.
I'm not a fan of how Indiegala phrase their bundles in the emails they send out. The one I got said:
Except that's not true. It's "Pay what you want for 1 game, pay over $1 for two more games, pay over $3.99 for 7 games now and 2 other games later".
It's still a good price, and for me personally, more than worth it - that's not what I have a problem with. But they shouldn't be advertising it as "pay what you want for 9 games" because that isn't really how it works. They don't advertise that there's a minimum for most of those 9 games, not until you've gone to their website anyway.
As for the IFK stuff, I think that's new thread worthy if only to let people know how Biart have supposedly acted.

This is how most all bundles do it now to avoid the 1 penny abuse, so a minimum is necessary in order to at least break even for the bundle they are doing. It's still pay what you want because there's no ceiling to how high you can, so if you are feeling generous or want to give extra to a certain dev or charity you have that option.
I just wish it was standard for all bundles to have a PayHowYouWant with sliders, so I can put the money where I want instead.
Agreed, but I'll mention that it's a bit hard to implement. You've gotta get all the sliders to move relative to each other in an appropriate and balanced way and deal with fractions of a penny... The algorithms all seem obvious but they never quite work the way you think they should. HumbleBundle's Javascript to do it is actually pretty complex.

... so pretty much all games are pay what you want, then?

Same.
After playing the first one for 20 minutes and it crashing 3 different times at 3 different places, I am excited to finish the exciting Star Wolves trilogy that will surely be one the greatest video game trilogies of all time when all is said and done.

According to Youtube commenters:

- Dawn of Fantasy (Greenlight)
- Worms Reloaded (Steam)
- Earth 2160 (Steam)
- Eschalon: Book I (Steam)
- Two Worlds (Steam)
- Ceville (Steam)
Dawn of War should be greenlit on Saturday.

Looks likely that I might be picking that one up. I've been interested in Eschalon for a while and looks like a good chance to pick that up with bunch of extra games too.
