They should just make a Build-a-Bundle really.

iippo: They should just make a Build-a-Bundle really.
I'm sure they would have.. but I doubt the site can be set up that way currently. As big as Amazon is.. they have a lot of technical issues with that type of thing.

spoderman: I suggested this bundle on CAG, and Tony has sent it over for approval. If you're interested in these games.. wait for the bundle ;)

Triple Town
Symphony
Brutal Legend
Raven Squad
Ticket to Ride
I thought there were multiple bundles with Triple Town in it?. They didnt make the initial cut?

Crosmando: The main issue I see with indie games on distribution stores, is quality control. No one wants to talk about it, but I think it's a huge issue. Of course when it comes to games there's a certain amount of opinion, but there's currently a HUGE amount of "indie" titles which are of poor quality, and try to hide that poor quality behind an "indie" facade and art-style.

The one thing that could kill the indie scene is exactly what caused the 1983 video game crash, a market completely flooded with crappy games that makes consumers lose confidence in the "indie" brand entirely, and think of it all indie games as low-quality shovelware by untalented devs looking to make a quick buck.

Amazon would do well to maintain a strict level of quality control on indie games too.
The problem your going to find is, indies are indies. You cant just have the Cave,Bastion, Strike Zero type of games only filling the store. Your going to get a lot of filler/chaff (sorry to say but its true... look at how AAA games are sold in digital stores.. many games are just not).
And also in many eyes, everyone has a different perception of what *is* a quality indie and what is not. Not going to win bro :(

There is another Triple Town bundle (Airships, Dinosaurs, and Space Battles Pack ), I just don't know when it'll be on sale.. it's planned for later this month I think.

It's not very good though, I think the one I suggested is a lot better, especially since I didn't BTA for the double fine humble bundle.

nightrunner227: How are the Darkness Within games? This bundle has sparked my interest.
Definitely worth it! (some more impressions from here and on the next page)
Haven't played Serpent Moon yet, but together with the Dark Fall games (could use the first one though, The Journal - the second game in the series, Lights Out, is pretty stand-alone, but Lost Souls revisits the locations from the original, so I'd recommend playing them in order or at least 1 before 3) it's a steal in my book.

Amazon really needs to get on making DRM information available on the game page.

Immoli: Amazon really needs to get on making DRM information available on the game page.
It's all a little confusing at moment. My suggestion would be to at least add "Steam" or "Desura" at the end of the game's title. It would really help when going through the various bundles. You wouldn't have to check every game's page individually.
Maybe spoderman could suggest that? It's already implemented on some games (I saw one that had "Desura" in the title).

The way things are now, even looking at the individual page doesn't always tell you.

spoderman: Tony (the Amazon rep for digital games) is going to try to put all of these 5 games in a bundle for $9.99.. It's not finalized yet, but Tony seems to be confident about it, so if you're interested in any of them, wait for this bundle.. it looks amazing:

Stealth Bastard Deluxe
Afterfall Insanity Complete
Strike Suit Zero
Mars War Logs
Galaxy on Fire 2 HD

Direct quote from Tony:

"I think so, I'll put together a bundle with: Stealth Bastard Deluxe, Afterfall Insanity Complete, Strike Suit Zero, Mars Logs, and Galaxy on Fire 2 HD. The only potential snag will be SBD since we'll need to run it by them, but I think we should be OK with this lineup. I'll email them now and update tomorrow."
I was just wondering if there is any word if this bundle will become reality?

Tony hasn't updated us yet, but the only thing holding it back is the lack of response from the Stealth Bastard developer. I'd expect Stealth Bastard to be replaced with a different game if Tony doesn't hear back from the dev.

None of the new bundles will go live until next week anyway.

This bundle has been 100% confirmed by Tony to go live next week:

Strike Suit Zero
Mars War Logs
Afterfall Insanity Complete
Ticket to Ride
Triple Town

Not the same one as I mentioned earlier.. which may still happen, but it's still a good looking bundle.

Some random CAG I guess, bundle 4 isn't very good. Which bundle did you want? Stealth Bastard dev probably hasnt responded yet.
