Psycho Society posted:this is worth it just to scroll through the list Agree 100%. I'm very much looking forward to playing the games being recommended here eventually (Had my eye on Quadrilateral Cowboy since it came out) but the chuckles I'm getting just scrolling through is worth $5 alone, especially given that it's going to such a good cause. But seriously, where does this all come from?!

One game from it that was actually on my Steam wishlist is Spring Falls, which is a very relaxing puzzle game that I made to level 44 (out of 60) before becoming very not-relaxed, swearing at my monitor and then looking up a walkthrough on YouTube.

yeah it's very good that after buying that bundle that when you want to find a particular game in it you need to spend 5 minutes clicking the next button then ctrl+f searching on each and every page (i can excuse it because acab and abolish the police)

Itch's VR section especially is awesome because it's got a bunch of weird experimental movement demos, like this Sonic VR thing which is the most disorientating thing I've ever played.

This bundle specifically does not give Steam keys. The games are DRM free, however.

I guess there's more mob games than I expected. There's also Okhlos, with ancient Greek philosophers leading an uprising against the gods.

Seems like they added some rough sorting by rating or popularity too? Most of the heavy hitters are on the first few pages now.

I'm really grateful for y'all's response, and I just want to say a little coda- whatever the fighting may be regarding Steam and Epic, it's this sort of thing that I think makes itch the platform most deserving of support.

There's also apparently a few hundred more games being added lol. I haven't logged in and checked it out since the search function was added, but I know I saw at least one game by Puppet Combo earlier today and I'll say seek those out if you're a horror fan -- not many of their games are on Steam but they're kind of itch.io superstars, and create a bunch of wonderful B-game horror experiences

As in, if you already bought it whatever they add to the bundle is then also yours?

A couple of stand-out games from the bundle that haven't been mentioned yet: Astrologaster: You're an Elizabethan doctor of physik who uses astrology to advise any who come to you. You're trying to stay relevant in a world when those damnable "physicians" at the College are trying to bar people like yourself from practicing your craft. The gameplay is just clicking on choices, but the writing is funny and well-researched, and the voice acting and choral music are really really good. The Stillness of the Wind: A slow-burning narrative game where you're an old woman who lives by herself and subsists on her farm work. It has a very nice art style. The focus definitely isn't on gameplay, but it's still fun to putter around your homestead to tend to your goats, make cheese, and receive alienating letters from your distant family. I'd say it took me about three hours to finish. The tone of this game teeters on the edge of peaceful and melancholy. SolidSnakesBandana posted:Is.... is the essay good?

Astrologaster is ok, but I couldn't tell if any of the choices I was making made any difference on the game, and I had no idea if there was any real way to "lose" the game. Maybe I just didn't get far enough, but I quickly got bored. If you just want to make random choices and hear choral music about chundering, it's ok. It also didn't help that at a certain point, it broke and stopped displaying the text content and just said "chapter 6 line 5" or whatever.

Wiltsghost posted:I think this is it Thanks, the bundle currently only lets you search by title and "metal" or "gear" wasn't getting me anything. I do wish it let you sort by tags, so many tile sets that look cool, but I'm not interested in at all unless there's also some actual games in the bundle that use them. and there was a chiptune collection I saw that I wasn't interested in at the time, but I might want to download later just to see what it sounds like.

Len posted:The new games are up, the bundle is now 1000 things Crazy thing is, once you beat Lil Hunter once you'll start beating him 90% of the time. Sending you some of my energy today edit: Godlike game btw. It's previously been free on Epic and as cheap as a dollar on Steam but if you've missed it, pick it up. Not much in the way of meta progression or unlocks there if that's what youre into, but as far as the gamefeel and shooting go it's probably the most perfect action roguelike ever conceived.

It was definitely a mess when it launched, but the folks at Itch are on the job. I believe yesterday night they added a search function (so you no longer have to control+F your way through 25 unalphebetized pages, lol) and filtering/tagging (by genre, type of file, etc etc) and they're working on better library integration currently. I think this is just like an order of magnitude more popular than anything else they've ever done on their site (which is mostly by game devs, for game devs, where some jankiness is usually excused) and there's also the scale of the bundle itself which presents some unique challenge. For a nonprofit venture on a site mostly run by volunteers, I think they've done pretty well with improvements so far and apparently more are to come

They're adding, or have added, about 400 extra games to the bundle. Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass is in there now, which I've wanted for a while, and Dujanah which looks ace.
