New Indie Bundle site out there: http://www.thefreebundle.com/

Technically this could go into free stuff, but the bundle encourages people to go to the individual game pages and donate, so it's more of a true PWYW.

I really don't grasp what the Cabrera brothers get out of this... maybe I'm cynical... ok, I'm definitely cynical... but TNSTAAFL.

thx

Publicity. Indie developers want to get their name out there. Open source developers have been doing this for years. Make a solid product then ask people to donate. If it's popular then you can launch off of that to something bigger or get a job at a company

Perfectly legitimate explanation, for the developers. But the Cabrera brothers don't appear to be the developers for any of the games in the bundle.

Agreed. Take it free and if you live it give em a buck.

Thanks for the heads-up, OP. I just checked out all the trailers, and damn, I can't believe they're offering all these for free. Games look fantastic. These are the kinds of games I feel guilty not donating for.

EDIT: Also, it looks like the download links for Ascension and Imscared are down right now. Seems like the site's generating more traffic than they expected, so dropbox temporarily disabled them, haha. Everything else is available to download from other sites.

I managed to visit the Author's sites and download them that was, if you don't like waiting.

Well right now they just have the cost of hosting one or two games as most of the games are housed on the developers services. If I had to guess I would assume that the CB were hoping to attract some attention through a couple of these then start doing bundles like IG, IR, HiB, etc.

Same problem here. Also, Nitronic Rush is not working for me either. Shame as it looks pretty fun.

EDIT: Managed to get all I wanted.

Yeah, the download for Nitronic Rush is downloading at a crawl for me. It's estimated to finish downloading in three hours. >_>

EDIT: Whoa, the download just stopped all of a sudden. I was skeptical as I tried to start the setup anyway, and sure enough, it said the file was "corrupted." I'm sure it just didn't finish downloading, though.

As an alternative, you can download Nitronic Rush for free here, but make ABSOLUTE SURE you opt out of downloading all the toolbars and stuff if you don't want them.

Had to do the same. But directly from them it did go a ton faster.

Thanks OP, good selection

Thanks OP. I had played Abobo but hadn't heard of these others.

Better download for Nitronic Rush may be here: https://www.digipen.edu/?id=1170&proj=25266

ooo I remember hearing about the Abobo game a while back. Looks fun.

Can any of these be added to our various gaming libraries like gog or steam?

Thanks!
