    Working for me, thanks for the update. I've got an extra Xotic key if someone wants it, just shoot me a PM.
    EDIT: key is gone now

    Gah, site doesn't load for me either. And I'm actually interested in Xotic, demo was kinda nifty. What's in the package, anyway, besides it?

    Yeah, the site has been up and down -- they still don't have the best of server setups.

    The Indie Royale Alpha Fund is up -- three games, all in alpha, current price is $5ish. Only one looks semi appealing (3079) and I'm sure it won't be finished for another year, if that.

    They start off at $4 now (at least since the last bundle). It was $5 several hours ago when I first noticed it so the price has pretty much stayed the same.

  11. Hmm. Mildly interested in Towns, heard it was a dumbed down popamole Dwarf Fortress which might be an ok thing. Not sure I wanna spend $5 for non-Steam alpha indie games though. I guess I'll think about it.

    Remember Cortex Command in the first Indie Bundle? Two years and counting on that, I think.

  13. True. And I've still got Project Zomboid sitting around with basically 0 updates.

  15. Urrrrrgh looked at a bit of Towns on Youtube. I think I'd be better off sending $5 to Toady to support Dwarf Fortress. Plus with that he'd mail me a hand-drawn Crayon DF picture!

    Most of the indie bundles seem to be lazy hipster bundles these days. Just send your money to toady. At least DF keeps getting updated and ignoring the graphicswhore consolefags who cannot into the UI.

    I bought that bundle, paying merely $2 and I still regret purchasing this. Haven't played Nikpol yet but the rest of the games are shit. I could have donated that money to a good indie or just buy myself a chocolate and that would be a lot better choice. Fuck these shitty bundles, looks like after high quality Humble Bundle everyone tries to copy them with boring games to milk money.

    Wasteland Angel is fine, just short. Xotic isn't bad at all. The Ball, eh, it's basically another iteration of Portal. To say those games combined aren't worth two dollars is crazy.

    This. And I've read good things about Nikopol. BEEP and Sideway seem somewhat iffy though.

    Sideway is an interesting take on platforming not nothing amazing. Haven't played Beep. In other bundle news the Indie Gala guys made the wrong decision by going with X number of bundles instead of a time limit. They've yet to even sell half after weeks and now they're in desperation mode offering 3 for 1 and even 4 for 1 deals (if you bought the high end bundle early on in the promo).
