Hi all, just thought I should start a thread to discuss the games coming in the next IndieRoyale.

  • Nuclear Dawn - Confirmed
  • Rochard could be the 2nd - Probably not / Q.U.B.E. - coming to steam january 6th
  • Terraria / Limbo
  • Maybe this - Did some googling and found out that this XBLA game is coming to PC / "Insanely Twisted Planet". That would at least have a "twist". (they did something similar with the Really Big Bundle - Thanks to BadKarMa)
  • Another suggestion for the 4th game: Super Crossfire (Thanks lFlapjackl)

I'll keep updating this thread!

These are only ideas based on the hints (except Nuclear Dawn, that got confirmed!).

Feel free to suggest other games etc.

Hints:

  • The titles to be offered will include a premium blend of FPS and RTS (Steam for PC and Mac), an innovative single-player puzzle game (Steam for PC and Mac, Desura for PC, DRM-free PC and Mac download), an award-winning 2D platformer (Steam for PC and Mac, plus an enhanced version for Desura PC, DRM-free PC and Mac download) and a world premiere on PC/Mac for an acclaimed arcade shooter with a twist (Desura for PC, DRM-free PC and Mac download)
  • Games haven't been in other bundles yet!

I really don't think Rochard will be included. I will be disappointed if it did. It will mean that the devs are really desperate for some cash...

I don't think it either, but I sure hope so ;)

And they needed money for Nuclear Dawn too, that's why they did a free weekend and everything (I chat with Viper sometimes, he works on ND)

I doubt it is too, because there's no preview page for it (Which I assume means it's not available on Desura)

I don't think it could be Limbo or Terraria as (as far as I know) they aren't mac compatible. At least, they're not in the Mac steam store.

LIMBO is Mac compatible. It's in the Mac App Store, and they're adding it to Steam soon. (It's currently the number one game.)

It's not really official but it says on ModDB that the game is made for Mac too. Guessing that it will be released for Mac when it hits Steam too :P

I seriously hope so. That'd be a great way to promote the game on the day it comes out

Terraria and Limbo hardly need to be bundled for them to sell copies so these 2 games seem highly unlikely. Also given the 'quality' of games on the IndieRoyales, I'd much more expect those 2 to be on HIB rather than IR.

My guess is that none of the 3 titles (Limbo, Rochard, Terraria) is included. Just take a look at the previous Indie Royales. It will probably feature some smaller games than those 3 indie heavyweights. Maybe BEEP - though it doesn't fit the operating system description.

I think that award-winning 2D platformer is probably Max and the Magic Marker.

Does it have a consistent multiplayer? I mean, can you get good servers, good amounts of players and stuff?

Yea, there's a nice player base. Three friends and I are always able to find plenty of servers with 20+ people.

Rochard is likely not the second game. There is no preview page for it on the website (i.e. http://www.indieroyale.com/games/preview/rochard is an invalid link).
Terraria and LIMBO, however, do have preview pages ( http://www.indieroyale.com/games/preview/terraria & http://www.indieroyale.com/games/preview/limbo ), so these are definite possibilities

The F? Why do they have preview pages of random games?

13 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I would assume because they plan for them to be in future bundles, though since there are pages for games like Portal and Portal 2, these pages may just be there to throw us off.

K, Portal 2 will probably not be in any future indie bundle :P

Anyone can check on some kind of steamupdatepage if they add 3 games around same time which includes Nuclear Dawn (like they die with latest HiB)?

^THIS. If you havent noticed there are preview pages for Battlefield 3, Skyrim and MW3 and they sure as hell wont be going anywhere near an indie bundle

They weren't really saying that the preview pages could be used for figuring out which games could appear (though it kinda sounded like they were) but rather which ones couldn't. Since the previews come from Desura and all the main games are on Desura if the game isn't on Desura it won't have a preview page and also most likely won't appear on IndieRoyale.

Super Crossfire is an intense shooter with a unique twist: Players can warp between the bottom and top of the screen at any time.

Combined with a massive upgrade system, intense gameplay, visuals, and audio, and a huge variety of enemy types and waves, Super Crossfire is the next evolution in the arcade shooter genre--coming soon to Mac and PC. It's on Desura aswell http://www.indieroyale.com/games/preview/super-crossfire

This would fit the usual Indie Royale loadout. A typical arcade shooter. I guess, you're right, though I'm not that interested in Super Crossfire.

One of the games offered have not been released on Mac AND PC. I just really hope one of them is Q.U.B.E. since it wasn't released on both and when it hits Steam it will be(confirmed by dev team).

Guessing at the Puzzle and Platformer is useless. The lines describing them feel like the marketing speak you'd see on the sales page for any entry in the genre. The only real clue is that the platformer's DRM free version is apparently enhanced in some way.

I really do not see the point of pre-ordering Indie Royales. Sure it may be cheaper, but you have no idea what you are getting and its not like the Humble Bundle where it goes to charity so if the games suck, there is nothing worthwhile that your money went to.

Err, no, it's not cheaper. There is no point in pre-ordering.

It may not be cheaper but there is a point.
If you buy it at launch you pay the Minimum, if pre-order you pay "Min + 1". Many people may not be able to buy at launch due to being asleep, at work, at school, etc, and by the time they can buy it the price may be "min + 1 + x" and therefore be dearer than if they had pre-ordered. Sure it may drop back down below "min + 1" but there is no guarantee it will or when it does that they will be able to buy during that time period.
In other words unless you are sitting at the computer 24/7 waiting for launch not pre-ordering is a gamble on the price. Pre-ordering removes that from the picture, though to be fair you are instead gambling on what games you are getting since once it launches you can make an informed decision on whether to buy it or not.

(Some people would use it as gifts and trade fodder if they don't want the games and as such wouldn't be too bothered on what games end up being in it.)

So, my guess:
1.: Nuclear Dawn
2.: Clockwork Man
3.: Max and the Magic Marker or BEEP (both don't fit perfectly, but are award-winning platformers)
4.: Super Crossfire

Q.U.B.E. for me fits the bill on #2 for being an innovative puzzle game. Plus, it's DRM free on Gamersgate for pc: Scroll to Windows emblem for DRM info

Q.U.B.E. was on steam but seems to have gotten removed. Steam Release Date For 'Q.U.B.E.' Set As January 6th 2012 | N4G

Q.U.B.E is too new: It was released not even 3 weeks ago. And it has no mac-support. I hope it's Q.U.B.E., but I don't think so. :( Clockwork Man lies an emphasis on its story telling singleplayer campain, which isn't that usual for a puzzle game. It is old enough to get the last bucks out of the game by joining a bundle.

Clockwork Man is hardly innovative. It's a generic Hidden Object Game, of which there are hundreds. Most HOGs focus on story because their puzzles are barely puzzles, you're largely just pixel hunting. It has more in common with a point and click adventure game than it does with a puzzle game.

Okay, I didn't take the "innovation" into account. So what else could it be?

Q.U.B.E. will have a Mac version, proof: "We're currently working on a Mac version". And IR said one of the games will feature a game that wasn't released on Mac AND PC yet so it could be Q.U.B.E. =]

Dino D-Day was in the last bundle and now Nuclear Dawn is being released! Indie Royale are certainly stepping up their game!

13 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I don't know: Dino-D-Day is hardly a game that would fit into a Humble Bundle, while Limbo, Terraria, Rochard certainly are. I expect to see the 3 of them there, if in any bundle. Actually I thought the last Indie Royale with DDD was pretty weak and no stepping up.
Nuclear Dawn is another story, ok, but it is just 1 headliner (similar to the Blackwell Trilogy in the last one) and the game is struggling with too few players around.

i was saying, there's no chance in hell indie royale is going to put such good games into their bundles. nuclear dawn is awesome, sure. but it's obviously the big selling point of this next IR bundle so i just don't see limbo, terraria, or (especially) rochard happening in the bundle. they're simply too good for IR.

Comment has been collapsed.

I bought the last IR bundle purely for the Blackwell Trilogy. 3 very nice adventures :-)
The average quality of the games are lower then HB, but that can always change can't it :D. I will buy the bundle anyway and hope they will introduce other adventures also. Who knows
