The Oil Blue <-- this one is made by GAFfer chubigans!

If you pay enough to drop the price, you will get: "Rush Coil's uber festive chiptune album '8-Bit Christmas', as featured on Adult Swim

Now available on the IndieRoyale website ($3-5)
 
Hmm.. has anyone had experience with these things? Are the games enjoyable?

Never done this before.
The last bundle worked the same way - if you want to preorder, you pay $3.99 between now and when the bundle launches. When it launches, you get access to the four games and the bonus soundtrack.

If you want to wait to see what the games are, you can buy it after it launches. Price starts at $2.99 but goes up depending on how many people buy it (except when people pay a few $ over the asking price, which brings the price down for everyone else).

Last time we didn't have hints for guessing the games, so maybe this time we can work out what some/all of the titles will be before it launches.
 
Gonna guess kyntt stories for the remastered adventure game compilation. The unlikely-themed fps sounds like Dino D-Day.
 
I wonder how much of all these bundles combined if someone paid $1 apiece, how many games would now be in their Steam account or whatever?
 
I was wondering if they were going to do preorders again after some complained of duplicate games in the last bundle.

They didn't mention platforms or have any hints for the last preorder bundle right?
 
The bundle is this week coming or next week?
It's releasing next week at some point, but they haven't confirmed an exact date.

Nope - only hint they had last time was that "Really Big Bundle" was in reference to one of the included games, which ended up being Really Big Sky. The other 3 games didn't get hints last time though.
 
Ah that's what I thought.

Its been really interesting seeing how all of these bundles have been doing. Was the HIB going to do anymore bundles this year?
 
This pre-ordering shit is stupid. Just make the launch day include the bonus. There's no reason why you need people to preorder a digital product other than because you hope they'll spend more on potential than the actual product you offer.
 
Hope the fps isn't the Batman thing. And the adventure some half lame remaster like Broken Sword.

Err, would those be indie?

Omg, could it be the journey down?!

But it's episodic I think... The simple gfx release was cool though.

Nm, they say compilation. I'm clueless...

More so given that preordering is MORE expensive than the starting price. $3.99 now r $2.99 next week.
 
Very early, uneducated guess at this one: the Blackwell series, perhaps?

just added to steam registry.

great guess, if it was one! :)

blackwell deception was also added, but by itself. could be a bonus/beat the average extra, or just sold by itself.

edit: obv this isn't 100%, but very likely.

Chubigans probably wouldn't be able to respond in the affirmative... but I think the action-sim game only available on Desura is our own chubigan's "The Oil Blue."

I'm so-so on the bundle based on hints so far but would gladly support a fellow GAFfer if this is the case. :)
 
Okay, looking at the hints is enough. I'm preordering.

Edit: If it's Blackwell then the puzzle action game might be Puzzle Bots.
 
It's the same format as last time - pre-orders will be $3.99 and include a bonus, but you don't know what the games will be until the bundle launches. Launch price, minus the bonus, will be $2.99.

I'm all for Indies, but they are pushing it. This will really lead to de-valueing Indie content.
 
Yeah. These bundles are making the whole indie scene and its amazingness visible. Don't underestimate the curiosity that is instilled by them and the concluding self-motivated searching for cool indie games and friendly recommendations when people talk to others who enjoyed similar games.
 
I tend to put off buying indie games now because I assume they'll be dirt cheap in a bundle eventually, or during a Steam sale. I assume the structure is profitable for them but personally it just makes me reluctant to ever pay full price.

I never pay full price for any game... or anything. It's the way of the times.
 
Well I'm definitely buying this one if the games are indeed the oil blue and blackwell.

I also wasn't aware very much of the indie scene before all these bundles came along.
 
Hmm, no real harm in waiting to see what all winds up being included, though like many it has every indication of being a great deal regardless----they had to have put some thought into this given the holiday period and whatever onslaught Steam will unleash this year, etc.
 
Well, as long as they haven't been on the humble bundles before, it increases the chances of me not having the games so screw it, pre-ordered.
