A brief sum-up for those who didn’t see the conference live.

The conference is over and it was a great success: TheEnigmaticT has announced three indie day-one releases, an exclusive sneak preview, the return of the most famous archaeologist in gaming, and he slow jammed a Love Letter to Developers. Because of the amount of greatness from yesterday there will be no new releases today. If you didn’t see the show, watch the video embedded below or go to our YouTube channel. We’ve also prepared a short written summary for you.

Let us know what you think about the releases, conference, Love Letter, and GOG.com in general in the comments!

Tomb Raider is the most popular action-adventure franchise in PC history thanks to Lara Croft--Indiana Jones-style archaeologist adventurer and a pop-cultural phenomena with a sexy physique and deadly arsenal. The three first games of the series are available in a bundle--for the first time remastered for Windows!--for only $9.99.

Sid Meier's Colonization is a turn-based strategy in which player becomes the conquistador of the New World. Based on the strategy classic Civilization, it builds on and improves the original ideas to deliver a strategy gem that can be replayed forever. Colonization is available on GOG.com for only $5.99.

Retro City Rampage is a parody of everything classic and holy in video games. It's a shooter, arcade racer, platformer, adventure, and a lot more--open-world packed in an authentic 8-bit experience. With 50+ story missions, 30+ arcade challenges, 25+ weapons & power-ups, and an amazing retro soundtrack featuring virt, Freaky DNA and Norrin Radd, Retro City Rampage is truly a "blast from the past", and a guaranteed retro hit.

Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers is a weird and humorous platformer, which features small tech-nerd Tiny, equipped with a with a laser cutter, a gripping-device, rockets, and the determination to find the only heritage grandpa left him: his underpants. Tiny and Big features great characters, a truly bizarre setting and story, a completely destructible, immersive environment, and unique sandbox gameplay based on slicing, grappling, pulling, pushing, and jumping. Tiny and Big is available for pre-order now with a 10% discount for only $8.99 until its release on June 19, 2012.

Resonance is an adventure game from Wadjet Eye Games, publishers of Gemini Rue and the Blackwell series. It's a an atmospheric sci-fi thriller with wonderful retro pixel-art graphics, great storyline, original soundtrack, and a few unique twists to the adventure genre. The game is available for pre-orders right now on GOG.com at 10% off for just $8.99, and anyone who picks it up before the game launches on the 19th of June will be able to experience the Playable Preview of the game, with 4 different playable characters to keep you occupied for the first 4 hours of this promising adventure game's story. This is not just for the people who bought it from GOG.com--gamers who pre-ordered the Resonance physical boxed edition from Wadjet Eye Games for $25 will get GOG.com codes and access to the Playable Preview as well.

So, we got today's releases yesterday, right? Or will you have something else for us later today?
P.S. Any chance for a duet of TET with Mike?
Although the live stream hadn't worked for me I was able to watch the file that was uploaded right after. Thanks for the fast upload. And also thanks for this written summary, it's a nice and clever gesture.
It was a good show but i prefered the previous conference where there were announcements of classics for a longer period, hence more to look forward to.

Cheers

No new games today :(
Great show, yesterday...especially the enigmatic T :o)
I always wondered why no one ever did a Cyberpunk (2020) RPG for PC...now I know...
Time wasn`t ripe.
There had to be the right developer first.

Go CD Project,.. go...go...go

PS: when can I preorder the Cyberpunk-game? ;)

No releases today.

A duet? I'm afraid that's not going to happen. Oh baby, it would melt the building.
"Civilization is available on GOG.com for only $5.99. "

No new publishers? Ah well. Colonization is a solid release, and one I don't have to pirate to play anymore. Hurrah!
Colonization and Tomb Raider 1-3 are great releases, and the slow jam was also great (I want an mp3 for download ;) ).

The middle section (the previews) didn't work so well imho, especially "Retro City Rampage". The cereal ad was just awkward - it told me zilch about the game, and if the game's humor is on the same level as the ad, then I'm not very interested in it. The only thing that stuck in my mind afterwards was the feeling that this is a project that's completely without direction (and has unimpressive graphics).

"Tiny and Big" looks like a very interesting concept, and its presentation was miles better. It actually showed interesting things that one can do in the game, mainly the various ways of interacting with the environment. Apparently you are able to "create" game objects by "cutting" them out of the scenery - that could be interesting, though it remains to be seen how it can be turned into good gameplay. Unfortunately I kind of dislike cel-shaded graphics, so that's a minus. But anyway, the presentation did raise my curiosity, and I'll probably get this game once it hits a price point I'm comfortable with.

"Resonance" could be an interesting game, but the presentation didn't really bring it across. Apparently the game's strong points are the story, the characters, and the multiple ways of solving problems. Nothing of this came through, instead the game was presented like an action game - lots of quick cuts to lots of different scenes. That's a good method if the game looks good enough to wow the audience with its graphics, sounds, and depicted action - but all this is very retro-style in the game. So, the presentation itself focused exactly on the weaknesses of the game, with TET trying to tell us about the strengths by describing them, without being able to actually demonstrate them. If the game is really as good as claimed, then this was a bit of a wasted opportunity. My impression of the game would probably be much better if TET had led us through an interesting example puzzle (perhaps in two different approaches with two different characters, to show the game's versatility), and let us actually experience a bit of the story to make us curious (the white house scene was an interesting start).

Anyway, the slow jam at the end made up for the somewhat unimpressive middle sequence. :) Also, Colonization and Tomb Raider 1-3 are firmly on my wishlist.

The highlight of the conference, however, was (for me) the announcement of the Cyberpunk RPG. The skills of the CDPR crew, and the rich and detailed world and ruleset of a veteran RPG system, look like a tremendously good fit. Granted, that was extremely difficult to top.
