Wooden Sen'Sey & Oozi: Earth Adventure look really good, but Eryi's Action looks like it's for masochists only.
 
[quote name='Motoki']Well it's highly regarded at Big Fish, but that may be either a plus or a minus depending on your point of view.

I think the price difference is fairly minimal for 5 or 6 vs 7 games so as long as they are doing Desura for them all I just went for the whole thing.

It's $4.67 for 5, $5.22 for 6 and $5.74 for 7.[/QUOTE]

ok so i played the 1 hour trial demo of the game from their website. its not bad. i never played a old school rpg with a mouse before. there is a keyboard option, but i like using only 1 hand to play the game. i also like how you could finish battles within seconds with the "Rush" option. exploration is rewarded with orbs you can find that (i think) boost your stats.

Thanks for the impressions. I am sure, I uh, would um, get around to playing it someday. Uh yeah. ;)

Seriously though, I will probably bump it to the top of my list now if for no reason other than I made a big stink to get Desura keys for it.

And I am all about some autobattles in RPGs. In most of them you only really need to micromanage on the boss battles anyway.
 
Oops, been slacking. Updated the OP with necessary links and what not. Once again if you click the green thumb, it should take you to its greenlight page on steam
 
Aldorlea really has disappointed me in the past. Laxius Force was breathtakingly awful.

As for the rest of the games, looks like it's time to do some research... I Will Remain and Recruits look like the devs are really putting a lot of effort into them.
 
Does anybody have any inkling of how Greenlight actually works? As far as we know, does Steam pay any attention to what a game's rank in the voting is? If vote rank turns out to be important, are we diluting our votes if we vote up everything? Should we just pick a few choice items that we really, really want to get greenlighted?

Or do games just have to reach a certain number of votes to catch Steam's eye? Which would mean that you could pretty much just vote up anything that even slightly interests you.
 
They all look worth the asking price for just a little bit of dicking around, except for the tower defense game because lol TD.

I was so close to buying EVERY indie game in one of these bundles. That would have been terrifying

I have been asking myself these questions, too. I suspect that eventually Valve will assign hidden credibility scores to users based on how frequently they buy games that they've voted for and use those scores to weight votes.
 
Oozi has to be a top-ten game on Desura. It captures the zeitgeist of the mid-90s and especially reminds me of Ristar.

Note: It has full 360 controller support.
 
Gonna pass on this one, I have typically passed on nearly all the groupees bundles. The other indie bundles out there (i.e. humble) just get better games and are often cheaper per game, plus the steam keys that usually go along with them. I dont typically like the way they operate (humble fee, including non-indie games and calling it an indie bundle, etc), but I cant pass on so many games for such a cheap price. But this one, meh, the games just dont interest me. If the games were on steam I might just mess around with a few, but i never use Desura or download exe's unless I have to.

This one is nice to give some exposure to greenlight games, but I wonder it will hurt those games int he long run if everyone remembers they were dirt cheap once.

I'm assuming you would not get steam keys if they do make it onto steam.

Well, you've made an ass out of yourself. Found this on the Groupees homepage.
Vote for the games on Steams Greenlight, and when the game get’s greenlit you will get a free Steam key.

I approve this message. :applause:
 
A lot of the games actually look very nice and for 5.74 for everything you can't go wrong. I just hope they all make it to Steam so I can get the keys and properly organize it all.
 
You know Desura does organize too.

I know that people are reluctant to add another client service and I totally get that. I was like that at first with Desura, but once I gave in and tried it I realized it's actually pretty good. In some ways it's more flexible than Steam while still keeping the benefits of having a client to organize and update your games.

Not every game can get onto Steam and mostly every bundle besides Humble these days does give Desura keys.

While the exposure certainly can't hurt, I honestly think some of these games are unlikely to make it onto Steam. If someone needs Steam and only Steam and will not budge from that position then this may not be the best bundle for that person.

I agree totally. After buying so many bundles I have about 130 Desura games, so it's my "second" client of choice. :)

LOL same I've bought a lot of indie royale and a few Build a Bundle's and stuff so I've got a little over 60 games so far for Desura (not counting these) I think? Funnily enough I've never booted up a game I've gotten on Desura yet.

Regardless I already said the games did not look interesting to me. Steam is not the deal breaker, but made the decision easier for me. If a game I was really interested in was available like lets say Cook, Serve, Delicious! I would have gotten the bundle and downloaded the drm free version even if I didn't want the rest.

I missed the steam key part, hence why I said assume since I didn't know for sure, but it doesn't really change my opinion on the bundle right now.

The games are not available on steam to play as of now and the games may never make it onto steam. If I buy this bundle expecting this to occur I may have just wasted my money, granted its not a huge amount.

My assumption of getting steam keys if they ever make it was wrong, that's fine.

If that makes me an ass, than you must not spend much time on here. I read the page and missed the sentence in the announcement section. It should be front and center that steam keys will be provided since the whole point of the bundle is to maybe generate some support for the greenlight games.
 
I already own Oozi from the Steam Gifts giveaway, and I'm looking at Wooden Sen'sey and...one other for this bundle. Trying to decide.

Maybe "I Shall Remain", Private Infiltrator, or Recruits. Can't decide.

Just a rule of thumb, there are almost no games on Greenlight which wouldn't offer a Steam key to customers who already purchased the game elsewhere. It's sort of like a restaurant offering a restroom. Only the ones with the shitty owners don't offer them. Seeing that they're offered in a Groupees Bundle, that isn't the case for these games, even if it wasn't explicitly stated that Steam keys would be offered if they make it onto Steam.

I actually really want Cook, Serve Delicious! The developer had it on sale for $5 recently on Desura, down from the regular price of $9. It took all my willpower not to buy so I can hold out to see if it ends up in a bundle.

BTW for the record if you buy a game on Desura you can download it from their website, usually DRM free in most cases, with ever have to install their client.

Wait, does Steamgifts do Desura stuff now or was this an unofficial giveaway on their forums?

I still wouldn't assume. I would agree that the vast majority of developers will issue Steam keys to those who bought their games before it got onto Steam once they manage to get it on there, but there are still a few who are (in my opinion) asshats and refuse to do it like the Wanderlust developers.

There will always be a few restaurants with shitty owners. :p

Fortunately, most bundles with Greenlight games are pretty good about noting if a Steam key will be given if the game were to become greenlit. And if they don't mention it I ain't go no problem emailing the developer and/or the bundle promoter.

22 and I've heard it. Must be the new generation. Either that, or something having to do with the region.
 
As a Mac user it was a pretty easy choice. Only two are Mac compatible so $1.50 for two games I've never heard of it. Meh, lol.
 
Cool, picked up Recruits, Private Infiltrator, Salvation Prophecy and I shall remain. (I'm still a bundle virgin.) Private Infiltrator looks very intriguing, even if the title does sound like something I'd have on an 80's VHS.

Hm. Not the best analogy. Health codes in most places require food-service establishment operators to provide public restroom facilities. Those that refuse to provide public access are usually violating the law.

I've totally been wanting that game badly ever since it came out.

It doesn't explicitly say Desura key though so I hope I am not going to have to start bugging people again. :p

Yay for Desura keys with no pestering involved.

This is one of their best bonuses yet, but I think they should've added that to Be Mine 6, which was lacking compared to this bundle.
 
[quote name='Green Card200']I want Millennium but not sure what else to get.[/QUOTE]

If you just absolutely can't find anything else you want, they usually will do a limited time special where you can get one game for 75 cents so keep an eye out for that.
 
Say that I want La Mulana, do I pay $1.50, and I get to pick that plus another game? Kinda confused how this works. Maybe I'm dumb. I just want La Mulana hehe.

No, it's a bonus. Just choose whatever games you want and you'll get La Mulana, along with all of the other unlocked bonuses that get added in addition to what you bought. You'll have to wait for La Mulana to get unlocked though, which will probably only take a few more hours.
 
Thanks for the heads up on La Mulana. I just added it to my GOG wishlist a few days ago. Pulled the trigger on Wooden SenSey and Millenium, but its all about La Mulana.
 
fuck yes. I really wanted to play La Mulana. I mean not this game looks interesting indie game, I mean I would of paid $10-15 if it was on Steam. Only 10% more.
 
I'm used to Groupees bonuses being lousy music samplers and episodes one of episodic games, but this bonus is no joke.
 
Is there any significance to the unlock point for La Mulana being 2,568 bundles? Seems like kind of a strange number. Anybody know if it has something to do with the game? Or is it just Groupies being quirky?

From the chat, it's an obscure "pun" on the developer's name and the fact that it's a retro title:

Jonny Cappuccino 12:27 AM
name NIGORO in Japanese can actually be linked to numbers NI(2) GO (5) RO(6) with 8 representing their 8-bit origins
 
Whew, almost missed this -- got in at 99% unlock. Grabbed Recruits and I Shall Remain for $1.50 -- getting La Mulana on top of that is amazing.
 
Sen'Sey sucks in so many ways.

- If you don't complete the game in 1 sitting, your extra lives are deleted when you pick it up again.
- The music in the early levels is a bad take on old action games, so even the slow-paced areas have you rockin' hard. How 'bout some shamisen?
- I haven't figured out a reason to use basic attacks. The player can spam ground-pounds without ramifications.

In the past I got groupees bonuses when buying after they unlocked. I don't see why it would be different this time.
