I also thought about writing about this "Indie Royal" but decided against it.
With only one Linux game in the bundle we support Windows by donating.

I even sent them a message saying what I thing about this bundle.
And yet I would be more then happy to publish about them when they offer much more Linux games in the bundle.

If you email Humble they will give you a key for Blocks That Matter :)

still no desura key though :/

btw, so we have like 5 games added now, got to wonder if they all got the crappy deal like steelstorm did ? and I still don't see why they doing it like this, but that must be me. Release a full bundle and am sure people pay more then for the 1 game at start.

Actually i haven't shared anything yet ;)

G+ pages are odd no way to link it to rss feeds or twitter or anything so i need to manually post everything.

QuoteGaming On Linux hasn't shared anything with you.
People are more likely to share with you if you add them to your circles.

It's for members only? I'm not on G+.

My Minecraft love has actually kind of died down. Ever since last year when we were promised torches than ran out, and never received. Then he started going off on this other weird direction. I kinda lost my interest :/ If I find someone good to play the game with again though, I'd get back into it.

Hey, in my opinion it would be a disservice to refer to Helena as only a platformer. ;)

Oh i thought you where being off with us haha :)

Nice list you have i think i also own all of them bar PBS which i will pick up on payday, i might do a post listing all interesting indie platformers :) (at work at the moment so cant get my games list up...typing on my phone!).

Try And Yet It Moves & King Arthurs Gold (especially this one while still a platformer its multiplayer, bit like terraria almost).

? I was genuinely asking what platformers I was missing. I love platformers.

I have: BEEP, BTM, Braid, Cave Story, Project Black Sun, Trine, SoR, VVVVVV, and Gish.

Keep it chilled guys :)

It was just a passing comment thats all. I love all indie games including platformers, i just personally want more of a bigger variety but as Hamish said we are still a small user base...for now!

I wouldnt feature it on gol news if i wasnt interested in it somewhat :)

Hey, I was not beating on platformers, just that there seems to be a bit of an indie preoccupation with them.

Anyway, I just played through the first episode of the original Duke Nukem a few months ago through Dosbox. :)

? *glances at Desura* I've got... 7 "platformer" games. Where are these plethora of platformers I'm missing? 8 if you count BEEP which isn't on Desura.

Either way, I for one love platformers/sidescrollyshooters. Maybe that's just because I grew up playing Super Metroid and Mario.

Quake style shooters are there thanks to there being a lot of easy code available and solid tools to build them mostly thanks solely to John Carmark. If you want more variation, blame the developers of other titles for not being as community minded. Thankfully that is one of my favourite genres, so I am well covered.

As for the platformers, well, they have been the quintessential "indie" game since Cave Story. I must admit I am a little tired of hearing about some "innovative" Indie title which is just a rehash of a classic shareware platformer. I am fine with them being there, but I do not care if you added some funky physics effects or time control or metaphysical f**k ups , it is still basically Duke Nukem, Commander Keen, or Mario.

As it is though, I would find it in bad taste to complain to loudly about such things, as we are not yet in a position that we can demand developer attention as loudly as that. Every developer we get we must all be grateful to. Especally since the reason we are stuck in these moulds are because these developers are the only ones to give a proper s***t about us.

Pardon my self-censored language. :p

Quoting: "Brandon Smith, post: 2585"I'd be interested to see what Venn says if he does a B-Reel on it. He's always complaining about the number of platformers on Linux.

With good reason, it seems to be the in thing at the moment. I'm all for games coming to Linux but we seem to be overflowing with quake style shooters and indie platformers.

Quoting: "Kame, post: 2580"You say "It's another platformer game" like that's a bad thing.

Not a bad thing at all, but i would like to see more RTS games with a story personally :) and i said another because we have had a flux of them come to Linux from indies recently.

This game does looks really good though.

looking at the gameplay video, it looks uglier than Zero ballistics.
but on the other hand it seems kind a same..
is that some fork of Zero Ballistics?
Zero ballistics is available for free on desura and i played it a little, seemed quite fun but missed a lot of potential features.

It's definitely got that SOTN thing going on. Looks nice.

Desura keys are up to the developers and not the Humble people according to the folks at Desura.

I hope they do add Desura keys as I'm a big fan of Desura.

just remember the bundle running now has no desura key, just steam so far. Steam key only got added after the 2 other games got, so maybe desura will get added at the end in case more games get added......... dunno, just thinking :)

Because I would never download anything over 30 MB over my bandwidth restricted internet connection?

I downloaded most of my Humble Indie Bundle titles at my uncles as he was somehow lucky enough to get unlimited. I would mostly try to redeem them on Desura just to play with the thing when it is released. As it stands, actually using its services properly is in many ways inaccessible to me. But I still want to play with it. :P

Why would you add them to not download? Confused.
