IndieRoyale.com - A new pay what u want site :)

Komedy · 26 Oct 2011 at 19:32

An interesting new site has popped up as described on RPSG below. Basically another take on the pay what you like but it refreshes the bundle every two weeks.

Launch Bundle is

A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda (reg's on Steam)
Gemini Rue
Sanctum (reg's on Steam)
Nimbus (reg's on Steam)

http://www.indieroyale.com/

The indie scene is full of what a corporate sort might call Price-Costing Thought-Thinks. There’s an increasing trend wherein developers are offering early versions for sale to fund development, as well as offering ‘pay what you want’ initiatives and joining collections like The Humble Indie Bundle.

Now, the indie aficionados behind Indiegames.com and the fine fellows at digital distribution service Desura have launched Indie Royale, a new site with a new type of indie bundle. Containing four games and changing every fortnight, the bundles have an original take on pricing and, if the first one is anything to go by, they’ve got some excellent games lined up.

Nice one, just bought the launch pack, though i did buy Gemini Rue earlier today lol. Strange that it doesn't activate on Steam.

mmm, getting a message saying the code for Nimbus has already been activated.... Gonna watch football then sort it later.

awesome, thanks for that, hopefully we should see more indie games or heck, even more regular games devising this PWYW system

Nice post

Excellent, nice one.

Edit: Working now... after a few tries.

cheers, like the look of Nimbus, reminds me of Thrust from the old speccy days but more hectic

Utterly fantastic. Now there are even multiple indie bundle initiatives. Awesome :-)

Got it already for 4 euros, I love to support these indies. Gemini Rue I heard is fantastic too.

Yes they will

Great service.

Makhaira · 26 Oct 2011 at 21:39

Thanks for the heads up, money spent! I've got the same issue with the Nimbus key so I guess there might be an issue they just need to fix there. I've lodged a Steam support ticket.

Strife212 · 26 Oct 2011 at 21:44

Uh, what? Why the **** do I have to add funds to my paypal account to do this? Never had to do that before.

"PLEASE NOTE. We are having some issues with Steam keys. While we resolve the issues, we have disabled all Steam keys. If you have already purchased a bundle, or purchase one at this time, you will receive Steam keys once the issue is resolved."

I have just bought a bundle using Paypal with the bank account as my source

Gimpymoo · 26 Oct 2011 at 21:58

This is awesome.

One of my beefs about buying Indie game is remembering what I have purchased and keeping the .exe's.

This will go a long way to help as even if the games are not on Steam, Desura is AWESOME.

WIN WIN WIN.

bhavv · 26 Oct 2011 at 21:59

I simply used my visa.

But it doesnt have steam keys yet

I already have ARES, but I am completely stuck on the second boss where you have to jump up platforms. I hate jump platformers

Pighardia · 26 Oct 2011 at 22:08

I think i will contact them tomorrow, as my key for Nimbus is apparently already in use.

DisrupTor75 · 26 Oct 2011 at 22:13

Hmm tried to pay for this via paypal and got the following:

We are unable to complete your request at this time. Please try again later. We apologise for the inconvenience.
