Quoting: Salvatos

They've also seen some controversy elsewhere. In the trailer at about 0:46, you can see characters chasing the protagonist wearing masks. Apparently this caused a stir as some claimed it was a racial stereotype. The team released a statement on Facebook to apologize and they will be adjusting that model to remove the dreadlocks, change their "bold lips", skin tone and change the dart blower "so it looks less like a joint".

What the actual... Are they going to go after the protagonist's winter coat next for being cultural appropriation?

"They" are such a scary bunch. Always going after things that are ever so important to people who never knew they cared.

You guys make such a big deal about a change that apparently makes some people happy and hurts nobody. The developer wasn't forced to change anything, but they did, and we lost nothing in the process. So what if some baddies look a bit different in the final game?

The console exclusivity thing is just poor communication on their part. The game looks great though.

Quoting: amataiHow does web monetization works?
Is it relevant in a world were game developers can monetize their games by selling them? Which is the best kind of monetization.

Games developers actually do not sell games. They license them. They sell a license for private use.

Many of them actually do still sell digital copies of their games. And remember, an EULA never overrides local law or consumer protections.

I am not talking about the EULA. The EULA is not the license, the EULA are the license terms of use. The "digital copy" comes with a license to use it. A license is what you actually buy to use every copyrighted material from others. You do not own the copyrighted material itself.

Nitpicking aside, owning a copy of a game and owning the copyright to the game are two different things. And thanks to consumer protections in many civilized markets, a copyright owner doesn't get to dictate the rules.

Quoting: Nanobang... and to be able to choose page 23 or 30 or what have you and jump right to where I might have left off would be a real boon.

I'd say just bookmark the page you're on, but whenever they add more stuff you might just have to start over regardless. Some of the games they've added so far didn't all end up at the end of the list. I think filtering by tags/type or maybe sorting by date would be helpful.

Quoting: razing32Hmm , we seem to be getting a lot of adventure games lately :)
Though - what is up with the graphics - feels like they are all done in mspaint :(

I gotta agree with that.
The art style just seems... sluggish? As in, the artist is just starting to learn the craft and maybe shouldn't be doing an entire game just yet.

Harsh. :grin:

The style is quite simple and cartoonish, but there are worse looking games out there. And some of them are excellent.

One of my favourite comedy point-and-clicks joined the bundle as well: Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy! [External Link]

They seem to have also added some interesting Linux games I didn't see there before, like Lenna's Inception and Mewnbase right on the first page. In fact, there were 25 pages of games the last time I looked, and now there's 34 pages. :O

Quoting: RafiLinuxGo the games you wanted in the bundle that you purchased - Click Download - Go to the bottom of that page and it says "+ to collection" - Click that and for me I only have 1 collection

Then refresh your itch.io client and it should be under your owned games.

I'm pretty sure it ends up in your owned games as soon as you click Download, so the step where you add it to your collection is not actually necessary. :)

Quoting: dpanterA bit bummed that the bundle lacks integration with the itch.io client. :/

I got around this but adding the games I wanted to my collection and it will show up under owned games making it easy to install.

Can you expand on this? I tried adding a game from the bundle to a collection using the "Add to Collection" button on the store page, but it doesn't show up under my owned games, and can't be installed from the game page opened from the collection in the Itch client.

As soon as you click download on any of the items on the special bundle page you got a link for when you bought the bundle, they should appear under owned games in your library. At least they did for me. And opening the game's page afterwards, I see the [Install] button at the bottom. If this doesn't work for you, maybe try restarting the client? Or contacting itch.io support if that doesn't help?

I don't think collections have anything to do with this.

EDIT: Did you actually buy the bundle for your account? I mean, were you logged in to itch.io at the time? If you did, you should see something like this at the top left when you're on the bundle page:


You should be able to claim the bundle on the download page if you didn't.
