IndieRoyale - Buy a Bundle of Indie PC Games
IndieRoyale is a new site offering bundles of indie games every 2 weeks. The bundle price starts low, around $1.99, but increases in price as more people buy it. Pay the minimum price for all the games, or pay over the minimum to both support the developers, and drive the minimum price back down.
They currently just launched their second bundle, with 5 games normally priced about $35 total:

Info on games in the bundle:

Re: IndieRoyale - Buy a Bundle of Indie PC Games
Thanks for the heads-up. That's a nice bundle, but they really need to re-think how they want to do this. The way they set up this bundle encourages people to buy it right away before the prices go up (as opposed to Humble Bundle which has no minimum price), but clearly their site can't handle the traffic they encourage, which is very frustrating for the consumer. Anyway, I got in after several attempts, but can't get any Steam Keys yet. I think it took a day last time with Bundle #1.

Re: IndieRoyale - Buy a Bundle of Indie PC Games
Yeah, the front-loading is an issue. Their first bundle didn't have this issue, as it took a while for the word to get out.
It looks like they've taken the bundle down, for now. From their twitter account:

Seems "difficult 2nd" bundle was an appropriate choice of words... we thought we had more than enough capacity!
Very sorry about the site, too many HTTP requests. Adding more webservers and once it stabilizes in a few hours - we will reset the price

Can't load the site. Regarding Scoregasm, do you get Steam/Desura keys, and are the Mac and Linux versions included?
EDIT: YES!

Re: IndieRoyale - Buy a Bundle of Indie PC Games
From their FAQ:
Steam, Desura, Windows, Mac, Linux... How do I know if the games in a bundle are available for a particular platform?
As part of the Indie Royale service, we try to offer as many different versions of each game as possible. If a game has Mac and Linux versions available alongside the Windows versions, we will make sure to offer these as part of your bundle.
The majority of bundled games will also be available via the Desura digital distribution platform, so that you can keep all of your games together in one place - a Desura key will be provided in these cases so that you can activate your games via Desura.
Finally, if any games are available via the Steam digital distribution service, you will also be provided with Steam keys to activate your games via Steam. If you look underneath a game on the Indie Royale front page, you'll see that it says "Available on:" - this tells you exactly what systems and platforms the game is available for. For example, if it says "Available on: Windows, Desura, Steam", this means that you get a Steam key, Desura key and a standalone Windows download for the game, but the game does not come with Mac or Linux versions.

Re: IndieRoyale - Buy a Bundle of Indie PC Games
Only about a day left on the bundle. Current price is $4.10
2 bonus games have been added, both shooters from Charlie's Games (Scoregasm): Bullet Candy Perfect and Irukandji.
Both games are available on all three platforms (windows, mac, linux), and have desura keys, but aren't on Steam. On desura, these games are $2.99 each, although you can pay a minimum of $1 each at the developer's site:
http://www.charliesgames.com/scoregasm/buy.html
Also added was all of the DLC for Fate of the World, effectively making it Fate of the World: Tipping Point, an extra $9 value.
Finally, downloadable soundtracks for NightSky and Scoregasm were added, which are normally $5 each:
http://schlarb.bandcamp.com/album/nightsky-soundtrack
http://www.charliesgames.com/scoregasm/buy.html
Combined with the original games, the total value of the bundle is somewhere between $56-$60. That means that as long as the minumum price is under $5.60, you can save over 90%.

Re: IndieRoyale - Buy a Bundle of Indie PC Games
They've made some changes to their system. They now take pre-orders for the next bundle, although you're buying blind since you don't know what games will be in it. Also, they're not sticking to a strict every-two-weeks schedule anymore. They're also upping the initial live minimum purchase price to $2.99.
The next bundle goes live tomorrow, Nov 29th.

Pre-order page (starting price is $3.99):

The next bundle goes live tomorrow, Nov 29th.
Letter from IndieRoyale
http://www.indieroyale.com/newsletter/80
In order to minimize disruption in the future - and provide more options for you, the Indie Royale customer, we're making the following changes:
- We'll be removing a strict schedule of one Indie Royale bundle every two weeks. You can still sign up or follow us to find out when the bundle goes live. And we won't be changing our general concept and list of upcoming bundles. But we're continuing to target the near-term for the next Really Big Bundle, which will now launch next week [UPDATE: on Tuesday, Nov. 29th!] after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.
- We now realize (and our smouldering servers agree!) that there are a lot of people who are waiting when the next Indie Royale bundle launches. In many cases, you may be reloading patiently to buy it almost no matter what, since it's such good value for money. So we're now opening pre-orders for the next Indie Royale bundle, at a recommended contribution of USD $5 but a minimum price of USD $3.99 (current and future Indie Royale bundles will launch at an initial live minimum of $2.99.)
- Why do pre-orders? We know that you're all busy people, and you may actually not be on the Internet (?!) the second it launches. So it's a simple way to guarantee you get the Bundle, albeit sight unseen. This means that you won't know what games are in the bundle until it launches. But you are guaranteed to get the bundle at a low minimum price, and you will be supporting hand-picked, high quality independent games along the way.
(We guarantee at least four different games for each bundle, all of them playable on Windows PC in some form. Additional games and formats may - or may not - be supported! And of course, you can just wait for your email/Tweet/Facebook message that the Bundle has gone live and go pick it up then, if you're signed up with us.)

I don't think you debut a game of that size and quality for essentially free on the PC. There's too much lost revenue involved there. My guess is that it's one of the two radiangames Indie games that are coming soon to the PC (Super Crossfire and Inferno+ ) Either makes much more sense here.

Re: IndieRoyale - Buy a Bundle of Indie PC Games
The New Years Bundle has already been updated with bonuses.
First off, the soundtracks for three of the games are now included: Max & The Magic Marker and a Fractal mini-EP in MP3, and Super Crossfire in MP3 and FLAC. There's also the OST for the iPad game Pulse in MP3, even though that game isn't included in this bundle.
Additionally, Radiangames has added the software "toy" Fun with Swarms. It's not technically a game, since there's no real objective or scoring. It looks like a fancier version of this tech demo:

Current minimum price is $4.30

With the IndieRoyal Bundle you get actually two versions of the game, the original PC version and the HD version.
The difference between the two are not only the higher definition. The HD [version] also sports the 58 short level structure know from the iPad and iPhone, MacOS App [Store] version and from the PSN version. This structure is not compatible with the original and [therefore] the Steam version has never been updated, because it would screw up [everyone's] save games.
So if you want to experience the delicious HD version, which I highly recommend because of the much prettier graphics, you should play it standalone.
The difference between the two are not only the higher definition. The HD [version] also sports the 58 short level structure know from the iPad and iPhone, MacOS App [Store] version and from the PSN version. This structure is not compatible with the original and [therefore] the Steam version has never been updated, because it would screw up [everyone's] save games.

Re: IndieRoyale - Buy a Bundle of Indie PC Games
radiangames used to be a site where great games were available quickly and amazingly cheaply. Now I think the guy who runs it has lost his mind. He raised all his games in the Marketplace from $1 each up to $5 each, and now this? No thanks.
