Let's see... resource-management and dragons, an emulator with an extra dimension, a collection of five games, and one game you've seen but probably forgot.

cyanicGroupees HQ20:43
One internal repeat, also exclusively internal repeat, so that should give you a good idea which one it is.

cyanicGroupees HQ20:41
The EP is electronic/industrial/rock, and the other album is cyberpunk/dubstep/metal.

The only thing I can think of for an "emulator with an extra dimension" is https://geod.itch.io/3dnes

Well, it is all DRM-free, with one of them being Steam. There are a couple of interesting things in there.

Wondering what games you already own from this bundle? There's an extension/UserScript for that! It's called the RaChartβ„’ Enhancer!

This script enhances the charts by showing you which games you already own from the ones in it. If you own it, the row will be highlighted with a green color.


Thanks to luckz for providing the poll answers!

So it should be VR compatible version (named "Pro") included in the bundle, because non-VR version is free (that's the one named "demo").

"resource-management and dragons" could be HOARD: http://store.steampowered.com/app/63000/HOARD/
I think there was also a game where you have to incubate dragon eggs but I can't think of the name right now.

I decided to purchase this bundle since it's been a while I bought from groupees...
Guess I'll regret as always. Wouldn't have bought it if I knew it's 7 DRM-free games [like it says on the top of the thread].
But if it's indeed 7 DRM-free games I'll hate groupees forever and I'll never purchase a bundle from them again.

Means they always provide a drm free copy aside possible steam keys.

I hope so. I only use steam and DRM-free games are useless to me.
It's just that I feel they should be specific when selling a pre-order bundle not to lead us on.

i think it is possible if you don't reveal the contents. I'd file a ticket now so that they know it's not because of what they bundled...

Is groupees trying to put themselves out of business? There seems to be so little quality in both bundles and business practice now. I found a pricing bug in a build-a-bundle (data deep dive) that doesn't give the appropriate discounts - overcharging us consumers. How can you offer a product with pricing errors? I just gotta get rid of these damn (practically useless) coins...

The discount bug was an interesting quirk of JavaScript. Thanks for reporting, I'm making a patch tomorrow.

hehe, yep. It also affected the android bundle, but it looks like you fixed that (charged 12.16 for 16 instead of 12.24) when i refreshed the page.

6 DRM-free and 1 Steam ...

Seems more like a build a green-light bundle (without the green-light) than anything to me.
Going to have to take a pass on this one. Thanks for the thread, though.

But, in fact, it did turn out to basically be something a lot like "The Indie Mixtape", except more indie! A collection of 5 quirky indie games off itch, not Steam. I'm happy with it, and pleasantly surprised.

It's probably just something more obscure on itch.io

The most recent Be Mine ended this month ...?

6 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

yea and how many months are you still behind?

just prior to that there had been 3 bundles in 7 months, when what was promised sold to people when you took their money was 10 in 12. And of course what is marketed is the expectation of not just a bunch of junk thrown together merely to fill a quota. Even with the bundle last month (BM31) it is still not looking good.

The timing issue's been covered elsewhere already, so I won't do it again. Last Be Mine was junk?

That's an interesting idea, though it seems many people (at least here) are lukewarm to the notion of anything not on Steam.

I'd definitely be OK with your proposal. It would also give Groupees it's own niche and identity, something that it seems to be losing.

Comment has been collapsed.

Well it is indefensible so I understand. Even if you released another Be Mine tomorrow and then one each month through January (the 12th month of the subscription) then you would still come up short.

Anyway, as far as quality goes I meant what is expected of the Be Mine name both overall and moving forward, not as a commentary on the last bundle. If you really want to know though this comment pretty much hits the nail on the head.

I know it ended, but I expect them to be delivered more frequently so that I get those 10 bundles maybe in 13-14 months instead of a year, but not 2 years. Also as a customer I'd like honesty from the day 1 when I'm paying for something. I just bought a canvas painting from China and the delivery on that was said to be 7 - 14 working days. This way, I know I might have to wait 3 weeks just to receive the painting to evaluate the quality and most likely I won't be sending it back, because of the time, but I still know that I don't need to panic for 3 weeks. In your case, you put the time line of 1 year for complete product delivery and don't tell anything to anyone about the delivery, write it on some reddit or twitter (whichever it was). I don't use either of those. Also, after I read the message it said bundle to be delivered earlier than it was, so again untrustworthy information.
Name your next Anniversary bundle "An Unknown Delivery Time Bundle" so that everyone will know that 10 bundles will come at some point and you will have no rush and people will have no problem with waiting from the day 1.

Booze and hookers are great I know, but delivering is even greater. 😁

"Mystery game" was already bundled at least once on the "Tax Year 3: Late + Penalties + Natural Disasters" Groupees bundle.

PS: Cyber Chicken OST comes as a separate Steam key, too.

sensualshakti! I was just joking about the "Mystery Game" (hence the hidden (Β΄Ϊ‘`) ) because there's also a "Mystery Game" item in that bundle (which, by the way, hasn't been revealed yet despite the bundle ending in less than 24 hours).

Yup! I just saw the "last 24 hours" tag on the front page and I thought "Oh, nice, I didn't remember to check what the mystery game was!"... I guess I was too optimistic.

if this isn't evidence that "mystery game" is actually code for "we didn't/don't have another game lined-up" then i don't know what is
