Vergecore is an online games publisher, licensor, and distributor handling mostly indie games, but a few AAA titles as well. The games include those found on browser, client, and mobile platforms. So not only do developer have an additional source through which to sell their games, Vergecore will also offer publishing opportunities for free-to-play and premium titles. In the true indie spirit, Vergecore assures us that they refrain from exerting any influence over the the development of the titles they publish. Marketing campaigns, community development, and even QA are additional services that are available.

To celebrate the Vergecore launch, we’ve partnered with their site to bring our readers some redeemable coupons exclusive to The Indie Mine:

Get a 50% discount during checkout in the store  (valid until June 26th):  INDIEMINE-HALFPRICE

Get 1,500 free Vergecoins which can be redeemed via the user’s Vergecoins Dashboard (valid until July 12th): INDIEMINE-1500

There will be other sites offering similar Vergecoins promotions out there. The great thing is that our Vergecoins coupon can be redeemed on top of theirs. Vergecoins are the virtual currency for users to purchase games from the store. They can be earned through playing their games and by participating in the community and forums. Eventually they will be integrated into a majority of their games as the virtual currency within each of those worlds.

More games will be steadily introduced onto the site over the next few months, but for now hop on over to the site, check out the games, and use those coupons before they expire!

British development studio Prolevel has officially announced their upcoming browser-based game Armed Gangs. The title puts players into the role of an up-and-coming criminal with missions ranging all over the seedy underbelly of society. Players can choose to take a more physical route by getting into bloody gang fights, or use a more cerebral approach by closing deals. Take a more hands-on style as a pickpocket, or develop a career as a smuggler. As the title suggests, Armed Gangs promises a “gang atmosphere created by a multitude of guns, grenades, cars and casino” with groups battling and trades going down.

For more information on Armed Gangs, be sure to check out the game’s website. You can also follow development progress via the official Twitter account. No release date has been provided at this time.

Over 32 million people actively play Fantasy Football every year. Over 8 million people play the social media game Mafia Wars. Rival Studios believes these numbers can translate into a successful massively multiplayer online Fantasy Football game. That’s why they’re creating Touchdown Wars, a Free-2-Play browser-based game that will allow you to create and customize everything football from entire leagues all the way down to the equipment.

Games are run on a daily basis and every simulated game factors in a variety of elements including team composition, coaching strategy, player development, and more. As GM and coach you can build up players or trade with friends and rivals in order to shape the best team. League awards are available just like in real football. For those who are really into the team-building aspects of series like Madden or NCAA Football, there’s a lot here for the micromanager in you.

Rival Studios can’t do it alone though and that’s where the Kickstarter campaign comes in. They’re trying to raise $17,500 in order to hire graphic designers, developers, and pay for other production costs. Backers will have a chance to earn early beta access, in-game money, a variety of Touchdown Wars-themed paraphernalia, and the ability to design in-game items including logos, stadiums, and more. There’s just a few weeks left, so if you’re a fan of the pigskin go check out the campaign now.
