Based on my experience as a player, Unity is usually a good game engine.

I heard it was just a one-off problem with the game itself and not unity engine jank.

Ubiktune will be providing bonuses to IndieRoyale. I don't know if thats the general after x days unlocks (which are typically OSTs to some of the games in the bundle) or the pay over $7 chintune albums.

New IndieGameStand game is Deadly 30 (Desura)

One has to wonder if it was really necessary to ape not only the exact same special infected from L4D, but even the screen effect from the Boomer's bile as well.

Just noticed, we're up to 24 Indie Royale bundles, one more and people who bought every bundle will get a new reward at 25. I've "only" got 22 myself...

Yeah, Unity has a bad reputation because it's so easy to use, is free to use and supports pretty much everything; a lot of shovelware is developed using it as a result. That doesn't mean it's a bad engine though - Endless Space, Total War Battles: Shogun and Rochard [to name some somewhat notable PC games] have been developed using it.
Deadly 30 was pretty fun. A little too simpistic maybe.
The game is nothing like Left 4 Dead. It's porbably just a tribute.

Well, I already figured that Left 4 Dead is not a sidescrolling 2D survival game. Are you saying plagiarism can't possibly exist if the derivative work is in a different genre?
You can construe every single account of intellectual theft as "tribute" (and in fact, that's one of the most common defenses). Whether or not this is valid or an excuse will depend on the judge, but for me, a game about zombies that lifts the design of every single enemy from another game about zombies (it's not only the Boomer, they have a Tank as well) doesn't seem like the epitome of creativity to me.

The Groupees Halloween Bundle just got Legendary.
Indie Gala Happy Hour is on.
2x1 for new buyers that BTA
3x1 for buyers that BTA
4x1 for first week buyers that BTA
They say "for each gift you buy" so I assume if you buy two gifts it's 2x2/3x2/4x2, though don't quote me on that as I'm not sure of this.
So does this usually last one hour or longer? And do I need to buy from my profile for them to idenfity I'm a first week buyer or would using my email suffice?
Anyone that used this before has any idea?

I'd say it's pretty mediocre, but not bad. I played through it 3 or 4 years ago and it has some cool moments.

Meh, I keep missing these Happy Hours...
If it makes you feel any better, they increased the average price from $5.71 to $6.71 during the Happy Hour and now decreased it to $5.71 again (which increased the price of two gifts, for excample, from $8.11 it is currently to $11.81).
If it was an accurate average it wouldn't had risen at the start of Happy Hour and then lowered down to the previous average soon after the Happy Hour ended.
Pretty scummy thing to do.
Hi,
I'm super happy to announce that the awesome Miniboss game Out There Somewhere is now featured on the Green Light Bundle website. Head to http://www.thegreenlightbundle.com and pay what you want for the game.
Out There Somewhere is getting great reviews. It even scored a 9 out of 10 from Eurogamer! So there is no reason to not get the game. Also do not forget to vote for the game. With your support Miniboss can bring this gem to Steam.
Hopefully we can please you next time.
In case you're not being sarcastic, I was being serious. I don't enjoy platformers, they just make me frustrated. I'll keep an eye out for another game you make if it's another genre.
Missed this post !
The game's OT is here and they just announced plans to port the game to Vita and 360
Don't know if you will be able to see this in time, but it is more of a puzzle than a platformer.
Lets say it is as platformer as Portal is an FPS
edit :
Pretty sure you are talking about me ... but i'm biased since I know the creators xD
But as you can see in the OP, they made other games as well that I didn't made an OT ... because THIS ONE is full OT material
edit2 :
Some people posted on Steamgifs.com :
"A fourth Android bundle will begin on November 6, 2012. So far, the only game known in the bundle is Waking Mars, which will be ported from iOS to PC, Mac OS X, Linux, and Android"
Take that with a grain of salt, but it is a very possible rumor

I picked this up and I'm excited to give it a go, the Greenlight video makes it look right up my street. Plus Sega Master System packaging aesthetics make me feel all gooey.
I bought it, it's a pretty good game.

Commander: Conquest Of The Americas has been added to IndieGala.

Member
The last of the Indie Gala X bundle secret bonuses are up. They are Commander: Conquest of the Americas by Nitro Games, which is basically an updated version of East India Company, and the 11-track album Smash It (Vol​.​2) by F-777.
Happy Hour is currently ON.
Pay what you want (at least $1 to get Majesty 2, East India Company, and the Omegalodon Desura code).
Omegalodon - Desura
Praetorians - DRM Free
Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim - Steam
East India Company - Steam
Pay more than the average and get:
Europa Universalis: Rome - Gold Edition - Steam
Knights of Honor - Steam
Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West - Steam
Elven Legacy - Steam
Hearts of Iron 2 Complete - Steam
Secret Bonuses:
The Kings' Crusade - Steam
NEW BONUSES
Commander: Conquest of the Americas - Steam
Smash It (Vol​.​2) by F-777 - Album
Personally, even though I own most of these games already, I paid more than the average just to get The Kings' Crusade, Knights of Honor, and Europa Universalis: Rome - Gold Edition. I would consider it a decent deal for those alone.
EDIT: ah. I was late with the info, should have checked first.

I only need EU Rome out of that whole deal. 5 bucks isnt all that much I guess, but I think I'll get it when I see a steam sale again.
If I could still exploit the Gift System (because I bought the pack for 1 dollar on the first week, before I saw the Secret Bonuses) and get 4 copies now, I'd do it.
But since they apparently fixed that and I can only get two gifts for the price of one... screw it!
Edit: The fact that the only games that interest me in that bundle is Lead and Gold, which I already have, and Omegalodon, which I already got for buying the bundle for 1 buck, also add to that fact.
Any impressions?

Could we have been trolled? Or was today's blogpost a warning that porting Waking Mars is more difficult than expected?

Wasnt the new Humble Bundle supposed to be released yesterday?
morningbus
Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
They never officially announced it. Nothing has appeared in the Steam registry yet (which is usually the first sign a bundle is imminent).
