Indie Royale dishes out 'The Really Big Bundle'
For its third offering, Indie Royale is bundling together five new games because ... hey, we're all buying stuff right now and everyone loves cheap bundles of good games. A bit of quantity and quality, you know? And the Indie Royale folks must know what they're doing -- Gamasutra reports the first two bundles have moved over 350,000 games across 70,000 total bundle sales. Within The Really Big Bundle, you'll be able to grab headliner Really Big Sky and a pair of Zeboyd games (from the guys bringing back Penny Arcade Adventures) namely Cthulhu Saves the World and Breath of Death VII. Rounding out the final two columns in this pentagon of parsimony is Runespell: Overture and Eufloria.
The Joystiq Indie Pitch: Runespell: Overture
Indie developers are the starving artists of the video-game world, often brilliant and innovative, but also misunderstood, underfunded and more prone to writing free-form poetry on their LiveJournals. We at Joystiq believe no one deserves to starve, and many indie developers are entitled to a fridge full of tasty, fulfilling media coverage, right here. This week, the Mystic Box band discuss the creation of Runespell: Overture. What's your game called, and what's it about? Our game is called Runespell: Overture. Our story takes place in England, twenty years before William The Conqueror invades it. It is an age in which Vikings and Normans still menace England, but are largely held at bay by its Saxon king, Edward the Confessor. At the heart of England a massive storm is brewing, a furious whiteout that consumes the countryside, called the "Grim Whyte." People say that gods and monsters roam the icy realm behind the storm's wintery curtains. It is within the Grim Whyte that our story unfolds.
