Th dev said the same thing on the Greenlight page, but I understood that to mean that the "activation" key would get you a Desura copy by putting it into Desura? Maybe I misread it.


+1. A bunch of platformers + Zigfrak, which I have from Indiegamestand.

No, all it means is that you get an in-game activation key from Groupees the same way you get an in-game activation key from Desura. It doesn't activate on Desura.

And it looks like my guess was correct, Vanguard Princess is the new bonus for the Doujin 2 bundle.

Didn't Zigfrack have an in game activation key that activated on desura? I think that's the one I bought for a penny off igs

Really? That does seem knid of weird. I've been debating on getting Deo for a little while now going to for sure go for that. Motoki and I have been in talks with the Deo developers about possible Steam keys if greenlit and it seems like they are most probably willing...

5 seconds into the video for Deo I was like "hmm, this kinda reminds me of Spyro The Dragon".

15 seconds into the video for Deo I was like "wow, these guys really, really, really liked spyro".

30 seconds into the video for Deo I was like "holy shit, I actually remember doing this exact same thing in one of the spyro games. This isn't an homage, they copied things directly from that game".

45 seconds into the video for Deo I was like "Sweet Jesus, the only thing different is the main character".

At the end of the video I was like "yikes, I'm afraid to buy that because the FBI will storm my house and physically extract the programing code for Deo from my computer because of copyright infringement."

Other than that, looks good.

My thoughts exactly :headache:

Otherwise I'm in for most of the BaG, debating on Frozen Hearth though. To anyone that's played it, how is the learning curve? I don't play many RTS games so anything complicated would end up in perpetual backlog.

After reading this I regret buying Deo. Nothing against Spyro, but this looks illegal.

Also, new bonus goal for Bundle of the Damned 2 is BlackSoul, a game that looks like its heavily inspired by the old Resident Evil/Silent Hill games.

I just noticed Knights and Merchants from Topware is now on Steam.  I don't suppose we will get a Steam key since the Groupees Topware bundle version was The Peasants Rebellion and the Steam version is Historical which also includes The Shattered Kingdom.

I got all excited for nothing.

 
Will very likely get both current bundles Postmortem: One Must Die Extended Scythe Cut looks worth a dollar and lucius looks alright and that bonus game that looks like resident evil/silent hill baby will be worth it for a dollar. Not so sure what to get on BAGB 4.....wont be that Spyro ripoff at least....if anyone plays that pacman looking game please give impressions or of any of these games because I know very little about them.

Edit got  Mr. Bree+, Frozen Hearth, Man in a Maze and Inverto. Trying Mr. Bree+ right now think there is a version on Kongregate try it out. I'll give my opinions once I play these.

Regarding the Frozen Hearth Desura thing, they've said on the Greenlight page that they may be open to registering the existing keys to Desura since the ones Desura sells are ones they gave to Desura anyway.

The keys we provide, we provided to Desura, so I'm willing to talk about Desura Keys but we provide them anyways.

It sounds like if enough people pitched a fuss they'd look into it, but really I don't think it's worth fussing over because the game is almost certain to get Greenlit at this point. It was creeping up the ranks anyway and the bundle will almost certainly give it that extra push to get picked.

It does have a tutorial if it helps. It's an RTS though so even though it may look like Skyrim (or Oblivion anyhow) it doesn't play like Skyrim. I think it more accessible than something like say a Paradox game. It's not nearly that dry and time consuming to learn but it's not a FPS either.

They did the fun map around Christmas time last year that was sort of like capture the flag in the snow but with Christmas presents. It's a neat game. For 75 cents or whatever I think it's worth at least trying out.

Anyway you'll still probably backlog it no matter what. Who are you kidding? ;)

And here I thought I had everyone fooled :whee:

Anyway thanks for the impressions. I guess I should have mentioned that I don't dislike RTS games, in fact I rather enjoy them, I'm simply terrible at them and am easily overwhelmed so most are in that "played once and will never touch again" list. For $0.60 with the other games I'm getting though, and likely a Steam key coming sometime down the line, I will probably grab it ^_^

yes u know it rts vs grand rts which mroe similar to turnbased than rts. that all i gotta say

 
Okay played and just about beat Bree+ (couldn't beat lvl 60)....was not bad at all...pretty dark and very tough tough not Meatboy hard. It was about 2 hours in length or so not including unlocking all the levels (may have to do this to complete it). I'm pretty much done with it but not too bad but not amazing either....if you like tough platformers it's worth the cheap price.

 
BlackSoul will have Steam keys provided if it's greenlit. Post Mortem will have Steam keys once it's on Steam. Both are confirmed by the devs.

Burn Zombie Burn is a pretty fun twin-stick shooter and as the first bonus in the Damned 2 bundle it's worth it for $1. Plus you get all the other crap, too.

The sequel (All Zombies Must Die) is a lot more entertaining. Burn Zombie Burn has some strange framerate issues on my PC, which is odd because the sequel works just fine.

 
The hoarder in me is all like OMG MUST HAVE ALL GAMES IN BUILD A GREENLIGHT.  Trying to fight the urge even though I know if I do I'll have left out shame in a few months when they all get greenlit and people are activating their keys.

The only game from the halloween bundle I want is Blacksoul.  Does anyone know the regular price for it on Gamersgate?  I think that's the only place that sells it and I can't load that site anymore.  Might throw in a buck just for that.

It's pretty high.. $26.99

 
Okay played Man in a Maze this one is good casual fun controls very well with an xbox 360 controller and alright with the keyboard. It's a light arcadey puzzle reflex type game where you try to get all these spin coins and these diamonds while trying to beat a par time if you're into that. I'll finish all the levels (about 1/5 done or so after an hour or so), but this is a fun one though the characters look a bit creepy haha.

Is it cooler than the others or something?

What's this Inverto? The vid on its Greenlight page is playing stock keyboard-tunes.

And what a surprise! It's a Unity-engine game! I couldn't tell that from those lovely cookie-cutter screens.

Has anyone played Angvik, either from this bundle or from when it was on IGS? How is it as a platformer?

As far as Inverto goes, I bought it when it was on sale on IGS 'cause it looked cool but haven't played it (it's still in development and I hate playing unfinished games - I don't understand why anyone would join game alphas/betas unless it's some sort of MMO). In any case, if you want to get an idea what it's about:

http://vimeo.com/66510270

"Inverto" is a first person shooter-puzzler with gravity manipulations. Game is ideological successor of such games as "Prey" and "Portal" with a pinch of parkour. "Inverto" is developed on Unity3D game engine and is planned on Windows, Mac, Linux and Web.

I played Inverto myself yesterday for about an hour....decent enough puzzle game...it does look pretty nice reversing gravity is alright for puzzles though I was getting frustrated a bit by level 3. I also played Diehard Dungeon. This game is pretty awesome and is a fun zelda like game combined with rogue like gameplay. It's pretty hard (still haven't beaten a boss), but I will play a lot more of it in the futre can't say as much for the other games.

 
I was trying to convince myself to get something, but nothing really did it for me.  Deo looks a bit clumsy.  Angvik almost convinced me since it might be fun and the art style wasn't bad.  Frozen Hearth looks pretty slow to me.  Didn't see much in it that i probably don't already have in a dozen other strategy games.  I'll keep waiting to see if any bonuses put me over the edge.

Admittedly I probably just suck at games in a way that I didn't used to in the past :p but for me it was punishingly hard as seems to be the trend with a lot of indie games these days. I liked the art style but the platforming didn't seem to offer anything new and it wasn't forgiving enough (for me) that I could just play and enjoy it without having to stress over dying and have to keep doing the same areas over and over.

With a ridiculous backlog of other games I could play I just don't have the tolerance for that.

Angvik is apparently extremely short.  Think I saw a seven minute run on YouTube.  Will probably grab Frozen Hearth to qualify for the bonuses but it doesn't really wow me.

 
So I tried BlackSoul yesterday for about an hour. They weren't kidding when they said "black". I get random shadow corruption in it, or if it's not corruption, I'm not sure what it is.. but it looks really bad. Sometimes nearly an entire room will be black. Not sure if its related to AMD drivers or if its just bad coding. It doesn't always happen. Some examples (these are worst case scenarios):

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=189794643

I've liked the puzzles so far, except for the first puzzle. First puzzle had me stumped, had to look at a youtube guide to finish it, and apparently the dude that uploaded the youtube video had to contact the dev to find a solution..

I haven't tested the shooting mechanics much, but the melee seems kind of clunky, needs more animations and more depth to the range of your attacks. My first death came from trying to kill a zombie and failing because I couldn't hit it, but it seemed like I was in range. Didn't have that issue for my other melee attempts though, so it may have just been a single case.

Loading screens are horrible, every time you enter a new room or open a door, you'll have to wait for it to load. Since the game requires a lot of backtracking, this can get annoying extremely fast. Sound effects need a lot of work, I think the dev admitted to using sounds that were available freely online.. They're really bad in some cases. I don't mind the music though, some of it is reminiscent of the Silent Hill games (especially the demo movie song at the menu screen).

Hopefully the dev patches out some of these issues if it gets greenlit, the game has a lot of potential. There aren't many games similar to the older Resident Evil/Silent Hill games so this type of game is kind of a rarity.

BTW, if you play BlackSoul.. don't turn "LetterBox" off. Doing so stretches the image too much off screen making at least one puzzle impossible to complete because you can't click on an object. Not sure if it affects all resolutions, but it screwed things up in 1920x1200 for me.

Aw, heck.  I was back and forth on how much to grab from it, and then totally forgot to grab Doujin 2.  I wanted the visual novels, pigeon sim and music.  Anyone with an extra gift bundle?

 
One game minimum now on for BAGL4.

Also, Frozen Hearth, Zigfrak and Survivor Squad have been Greenlit and will get keys as soon as the developers provide them.
