(I keep the first post updated with links/bundle info)

When visiting that site I get:

Heroku | No such app

There is no app configured at that hostname.
Perhaps the app owner has renamed it, or you mistyped the URL.

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

 

[Angthoron]

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?

 

[Bruticis]

The bundle includes the following games:
Xotic
Sideway New York
Wasteland Angel
BEEP
The Ball
Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals

 

[Metro]

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

 

[Metro]

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.

 

[TripJack]

bah the minimum is already 5?

unless a codexer shows up saying 1 (or more) of these games is actually good i wont be buying

 

[Metro]

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.

 

[TripJack]

that's bullshit it should start a minimum of 1 dollar

yes i am that cheap : x

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

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.

 

[Metro]

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

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

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

 

[Metro]

But... but... but... they were robbed!

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

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!

 

[Ulminati]

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.

Ask him to draw a dwarf porn beforehand.

The bundle includes the following games:
Xotic
Sideway New York
Wasteland Angel
BEEP
The Ball
Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals

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.

 

[Don Peste]

I've bought the Alphafunding. Nice games, Linux, Desura, multiplayer, a catalan game... Must support them, and I hope the continue to do this kind of bundles.

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.

 

[TripJack]

I paid $1. No regrets.

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

 

[Metro]

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).

 

[Metro]

Yet... another... bundle (NOT live yet):

http://indie.gamingallthetime.com/

Allegedly will have:

Sol Suvivor
Greed Corp
RuneSpell
Dead Horde
Booster Trooper

Greed Corp is in the current Indie Gala. Runespell was in an old Indie Royale. Booster Trooper sucks horribly. Sol Survivor seems decent and Dead Horde seems okay-ish but I've heard some bad things.

 

[TripJack]

any speculation on the contents of the next indie royale Metro bro?

 

[Metro]

I've heard a few guesses at the FPS from Hard Reset to the awful Twin Sector Adventure game possibly Jolly Rover. The RTS is almost certainly Vertex Dispenser and the final one is probably DLC Quest as that developer also has a top down shooter. DLC Quest seems funny and all but apparently it's only like 15 minutes long. Don't have any interest in Vertex Dispenser or the adventure game and since the FPS could be crappy I'm not really willing to gamble. At worst I'll miss out on $4 Hard Reset and that isn't a really amazing deal.

The Face Kick one is out now with a bunch of Meridian Games among others: Greed, PAM, Dead Horde, Booster Trooper, Runespell, Avencast, and Sol Survivor. It's $8 to 'pre-order' but I've heard some shady things about the guy offering the bundle, own some of the games, and don't really care for any of the others.

 

[Metro]

A new humble indie bundle entry was added to the Steam registry -- expect it soon. No idea on the games.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Got my fingers crossed for Pineapple Smash Crew (Looks ridiculously simple and short and not terribly well thought out/made but I still wanna play it), and Titan Attacks, and Vessel, and Shank 2, and Oil Rush, and Dear Derpthur, and Dust Force!

Probably won't be any of 'em but I'm building up a decent queue of indie games I'm interested in checking out so I'm hoping SOMETHING good will show up.
