Valley Of The Moon :)

you can:

• Collect Firewood
• Cut trees

......

valley of the moon actually looks pretty good for someone who likes this sort of stuff, so I'll pick it up on steam at some point.

I have to say it's really nice to see an Itch.io bundle as there's no site that I'm aware of that does them. There's a lot potential there for sales especially since some of those games come to Steam. Groupees could talk with devs and see if they would also include a steam key if their game ever gets launched on Steam. There's a good amount of people who already like the music bundles so focusing on those and Itch.io for games might be a good great idea.

Left game looks like Surge City. https://8-bit-llama-games.itch.io/surgecity

EDIT: But it could be anything using these asset packs: https://ansimuz.itch.io/warped-city and https://ansimuz.itch.io/cyberpunk-street-environment

I almost never check itch.io... I should really take a closer look, there seems to be some pretty interesting games there. Wouldn't play Valley of the Moon, so no preorder for now. Might simply go for the games that I like, if any, after the bundle is up.

Groupees + itch.io sounds like a really good match to me.
they already did and hope they'll do it again, this also show why Groupees is pretty unique, i truly appreciate the fact there's still someone more thinking about gaming than numbers.

that said, imo, they should put 2-3 Steam keys just to "tempt a little" those that, obv, are asking if they'll get steam-keys buying the bundle. won't cost that much more (for Groupees) but "try the itch.io" message would have a wider audience.

io.bump...bump.io!

Build a Big Itch.io Bundle

Am I the only one who saw, "Build a Bitch.io Bundle?"

Valley Of The Moon is on early access on steam from 14 march 2019 and now it is in this bundle? Strange...

For those that don't use itch.io , here are a few interesting games on it that aren't on Steam (no idea if any will be in this bundle though):

Curse of the Arrow
Endhall
Hyper Burner
Lenna's Inception
Pixel Session Vol.1
Power Drill Massacre
Rad Road Rally
Ruggnar
Tiny Dino
Vector 2089
Witchway
Zodiac Mall Ball

Got the preorder just in time.
I said it multiple times and I still stand by my words - Groupees imo lost their way around the tsunami of greenlight bundles, focusing more on quantity than quality, and pretty much tanked later with the BM anniversary fiasco too. I also said that I like their music, would want more ebooks and comics - and similarly, I would rather take good DRM-free games than unoriginal Steam ones. (Brave to speak about originality, when the uncovered game looks like an iteration of Stardew Valley, even using some of the same sprites, right?) 2$ is not too much, and I rather give them a benefit of doubt about a new thing, than something that they proved that they are "eh" at.

Valley of the Moon looks decent, but it also looks kinda boring, I hope it's not (I wont buy it, but I dont wanna see a lot of work from the dev being wasted)

The left game is using assets from Warped City which is created by Luis Zuno. It's probably Surge City as someone in the chat pointed out. It's basically the asset pack with some things added in by 8bit llama games. Found some gameplay on youtube. A the little bit added in by 8bit Llama just doesn't seem to work properly.

EDIT: smh It's actually worse than Surge City.. The Replicant Gameplay

Luis Zuno is also the creator for the Sunnyland assets that were used for Foxyland and O'Fox Life.

EDIT: I find it interesting that most of them were updated around the same time.

Valley Of The Moon seems to be the only one not "developed" by Norum82. He was listed under Classic Games Software on Itch.io earlier but now there's no page/profile for it.

The Zone
The Replicant is using assets from Luis Zuno found here.
Dragon Boar and Lady Rabbit
Crappy Day Enhanced Edition
Dangerous Skies
The Theodore Adventures
In The Dark
Castle of Venia is using assets from Luis Zuno found here.
Frank the Miner
Hellphobia
Knight Boy
Into the Sea is using assets from Luis Zuno found here and here
Megatronic Void
The Lost Wizard

There may be more asset flips

Hm, all games from Classic Games Software .
Most of them have the same copy-paste system requirements on Itch.io that is different from what is published on Groupees.
It's an overstatement that I'm happy with this, but if I find 2-3 simple, but enjoyable games from the list, that is okayish. I genuinely expected at least some variety, not the same dev's games. Oh well.

I wonder whether norum82 will be deleting any of these games from itch.io again later.

Eh, from the bunch, only Castle of Venia was tickling my fancy but after reading a few reviews, I think I'm gonna pass.

10 out of 15 games are Steam too:
Valley Of The Moon
The Lost Wizard
Megatronic Void
Hellphobia
Castle of Venia
Frank the Miner
The Theodore Adventures
Dangerous Skies
Crappy Day Enhanced Edition
Dragon Boar and Lady Rabbit

Comparing the last one, I like this much less.

Why provide Steam keys when you can temporarily put them on itch and make a profit, and then remove them again and not worry about bad steam reviews.
