Reserve?
How exactly does this work? Do I arrange games from the global pool or from what they give me?

Not sure if I understand your question. Will try to answer it.
The bundle works as follows. Groupees made a collection of 8 Greenlight games they offer us as this bundle. If you are a gambler you can pay $1.25 now and reserve the whole bundle (that means you will get Steamkeys for all the games should they get through Greenlight) or you can wait until the bundle is released.
In ~ 24 hours the bundle contents will be revealed. After release you will be able to choose which ones you like out of these 8 games with increasing price. Iirc it's two games for a dollar, three for $1.30, 4 for $1.80(?) and so on. (Not sure about the correct prices but somewhat around that).
Is that what you wanted to know?

Now I finally know how this works. Thank you for nice and simple explanation.

Yes, and "Meh" then. Seeing how a lot of shitty games lately popping in the Greenlight, I do not trust their picks, especially closed drafts lol.

Pretty much like troieve wrote. But no, it's not from all the greenlight games out there. As the bundle says, this one has 8 games. So if you preorder >now< you will get all of them. If you wait till the preorder is over (in 23 hrs), you can >build< the bundle where YOU chose WHICH of those 8 games you want :). You normally pay like 0.50 $ for each if I recall correctly. At least 2-3 games is required I believe.

It's like gambling 8 games out of Greenlight and then gambling those 8 again for IF they will get Greenlit. :P I don't even like gambles, and this one's even a level higher.

Haha, fair enough. :) Well, I personally got a whooole lot of games from these greenlight bundles. So as a game collector it's a must if you wish you save money.
If you are picky with your games, you can always wait till the bundle is revealed and you can check out the 8 games and see if you like them and then choose which ones you want to buy. That's what I did when I started buying greenlight bundles from Groupees nearly 2 years ago. (Nowadays I of course regret I was picky at then. :P)
But yes, it is a gamble since it's not certain those games will even ever get on steam. But considered the price for like 10 games (included bonuses) is 1.25 $ and even if only get a few of them, it's still worth it. :) A gamble indeed though. ^^

Well, I'm not THAT picky. I don't like simulators (Still ones, like not ever interaction), point & click games with... Heavily hidden object than of story, Visual Novels (Since I'M REALLY PICKY on this category), and lastly if probably really bad graphics/texture (Example giving Bad Rats, way too 90s).
Other than that, Magicite & Dungeon Souls are my favorite art style, shiny fade to pixels!

"looks like it has dinosaurs during their period in it" hahahaha omg xD You are funny, Ev.. :3
Anyways, yeah.. I preorder as always lol. Especially greenlight bundles. I wonder when greenlight will die...
Comment has been collapsed.
:) I'm really glad nobody feels offended by my spoiler
Greenlight dying is an interesting thought. I remember the times when Steam was so very strict about their content they wouldn't even allow well produced games. Nowadays literally the worst crap hits Steam. Greenlight dying is something I wouldn't shed a tear for.

Nah, who would.. :D narrow minded people I suppose..
Yup, I remember those times too... I guess Valve got greedy since then.. Especially considered the load of movies with no association with gaming is being shoved onto steam as well.... Sigh. :|

So I guess the main theme will be horror games. I looked through some horror games on greenlight and... yeah, I will pass :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think the "main" theme will be horror games. The Greenlight bundles are usually a good mix of everything. So even though the showcased game is a horror one, there will be other games that don't involve horror.

Oh look, you were right! :) Anyway, now when I see this games I'm happy that I didn't buy the bundle :P
Oh and BTW - you are doing amazing work will all that bundle threads of yours, thank you for them :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha I'm always right! Just kidding :) perhaps you can try your luck on the next Greenlight bundle. Or, buy their "Be Mine" bundles. They usually have some hidden gems in there :) I got this bundle (because I couldn't resist) and I'm kind of disappointed by the meh games. I am not very fond of space/sci-if games, which seemed to be the best game out of the crop.
Aw why thank you! You are very sweet. :D

I feel you there. If only those notifications were for good games ;P

Hmm about that clue.... could be Raptor Revenge: Sorority Island
Edit: Oops, didn't read your hint, so don't mind me...

Interestingly enough, I find the Greenlight bundles as a great resource as a trader. When the game does eventually hit steam, chances are there is someone out there that will want to trade for the steam key and it would be rarer than most other bundle keys... so, it helps me get games I want more easily in trade

preordered as always - these bundles tend to at least pay back for themselves in trading cards alone, and anything more or actually a nice game is always a nice bonus :>

Since when was Shoppa a source of hints for BAGBs?
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh sorry, I just read through the chat again and realized you are totally right. He sounded so confident, hence the confusion.

Excuse me, you said "this BAGB is a bit unconventional". How did you mean that?

There's a gameplay video of Bleeding Border up on IndieDB. Looks like crap to be honest.

"If the games are Greenlit - you'll receive a Steam key"
IF = Steam Key
IF = Steam
IF
If you are lucky enough - you will receive some random games, at max - 8.

And again, more hints added. Horn Max kinda confirmed (see picture)

Because it's summer and I'm outside most of the time...?
Thanks for the info, will go ahead and make one :)
Edit: Too late, guppy was faster...

Gonna get Unending Galaxy and Chronicles of the Witches and Warlocks ... and maybe Horn Max too !
Comment has been collapsed.
These two actually seem to look decent.
I also like how the snowboarding game has VR support and a map editor even though it does look a bit too simplistic otherwise.
Don't forget to vote people Kappa

Uhm ... looks like it has dinosaurs during their period in it. Odd.
Hints and guesses:
• the artwork is from a game that is already greenlit. Has been found: Bleeding Border
• two of the games are already greenlit, one them is up to four player co op with some colourful shapes, a game that features lots of white stuff, most probably HORN MAX
• Jonny Cappucino Groupees HQ: as always, lotsa variety... first person shooter, racing, platformer, sim/strategy...
• first hint: Much orange (maybe: Robrain?) Probably not, because "You know when I said orange? It's not solid orange. There's also some red." cyanic
• second hint: combination of geometric shapes
• cyanic Groupees HQ: Hmm, this BAGB is a bit unconventional. (whatever this may mean)
• Here's another [hint]: fish coin -> happy face; ...y Fish. Maybe: Blowy Fish???
• Dragons and cards. Note that. Maybe one of these??: Game of Dragons or Card Dungeon or Orithia: Dragons' War???
