PaterAlf: First Weekly in a while that I'm interested in. Can anyone confirm that it doesn't include a DRM-free version of Really Big Sky? Announcement says nine DRM-free games, but without it, it would only be eight. And Really Big Sky has been bundled DRM-free before.
I went ahead and got the mediocre BTA for the soundtracks. No DRM-free installer for Really Big Sky. Weird.
Wasn't Really Big Sky DRM free in Indie Royale bundle?

Yep. Both of the times they sold that particular bundle.

justanoldgamer: Anyone here has experience with Multimedia Fusion 2? The developer's web page seems to be down.

It says no programming is necessary but does it include a programming language anyway?
Is it really self contained or does one have to buy extensions to do anything no basic?
I tried this program one year ago. There was a 30days-trial demo on the clickteam website and the program was really user-friendly with programming (if, then, etc.) by doing it more graphically and clearly than Game Maker. I didn't bother to check if you can directly program the source code but at first sight, it was a good tool to prototype some games. No need to buy extensions, you can do a lot of things with imagination and assets. In fact, I intended to buy but I didn't have the cash at that time :o)

btw, here is a product comparison, but honestly, for 1$, just try it and you'll see ;)

Oddplanet (Windows, DRM-Free) + Soundtrack
Splotches (Windows, DRM-Free) + Soundtrack

NightSky (Windows/Mac/Linux/Android, DRM-Free/Steam) + Soundtrack
That's a nice bundle, just bought it.
Concerning Really Big Sky, it has been ported to the playstation vita under the name Big Sky Infinity and this portable version is better than the pc version : better graphics, new "hazards", multiple music tracks and most of all the "portability" which is very adapted to short game sessions on the go.

It was also DRM-free on Indiegamestand.

But to my surprise I just found out that I already own the game. Must have bought it with one of the Indie Royale bundles.

Thanks, I'll do that.
Wow, that looks like a really good Weekly Bundle. Finally!

But I don't know any of he games, never even heard of them. Can anybody tell me something about them?
Manos: The Hands of Fate and Pitiri 1977 especially speak to me. Are they good?

What about the BTA games?
Faerie Solitaire is a mildly interesting solitaire type game. I actually quite enjoyed it. Have night sky HD somewhere but never played it. A number of these games are repeats. Ill give a few cents just for the soundtracks.
f yeah multimedia fusion 2.

I haven't bought/used any clickteam products since Klik and Play for windows 3.1 back in the mid nineties (and still dabble in it at Glorious Trainwrecks despite not running on modern operating systems), but I imagine the principle is the same (that is, you have a level editor which you can create and paste in objects, and a spreadsheet like event editor where you create event conditions to test for and then what to do when they happen)
More than enough DRM Free games this week to take a chance on this bundle.
It feels like leftover scraps to be honest....

nijuu: It feels like leftover scraps to be honest....
Yeah, it does ... I will still get it in a few days or so, but yeah, still feels scrapish.

I think the main point was getting the Game Builder software out and everything else is more like demos for it.



Now if they would put out a RPG Maker Humble Bundle I would be loosing my shit for it.
Bought for Vincere Totus Astrum.

I played Faerie Solitaire a while back and it was a pretty good little game.

I had NightSky since forever, but hating platformers, it's going to remain in a perpetual backlogged state. Things might change if the gamepad I have on order transforms my taste for games, but I doubt it.
