Bundle In A Box is back with another indie gaming bundle, but they’re switching things up a bit this time by teaming up with another indie resource. BIAB is partnering with indie review site Ordinary Gamer to bring gaming fans a collection of 11 different indie titles. The minimum price for the Indie Ordinary Gamer Bundle is sitting at just $1.99, and many of the included titles are available through multiple services and on different platforms.

Five games are included in the bundle for matching or beating that minimum price:

• One Finger Death Punch
• QbQbQb (which we’ve reviewed)
• Cognition Episode 1
• Saviors
• Slender 5 Pages

Those who donate more than the average price will net six additional games:

• Rooks Keep (which we’ve previewed)
• Hairy Tales
• Isaac The Adventurer
• Cognition Episode 2
• Along Came A Spider
• The Grave Digger

Bundle In A Box has long been associated with the Indie Dev Grant which helps a few lucky indie studios with the funding for their projects. For every 100 sales of this bundle, $15 goes towards that cause. This time around, BIAB is also working with the AbleGamers Charity, a group devoted to improving the quality of life for gamers with disabilities. They offer a community portal for discussing the issues surrounding the accessibility of all games, and they also provide free consultation to developers who want to make sure that everyone can play their titles. This charity will receive 30% of the net earnings from this sale.

As with all Bundle In A Box bundles, there are bonus rewards unlocked when certain sales milestones are reached.  The unlockables this time around include five soundtracks and a whole bunch of wallpapers and other artwork from the games in the bundle. Go out and help your fellow consumers earn these extras by picking up the bundle here. You can also check out trailers for each of the games included.

Try your hand at our giveaway for a chance to win a bundle, but please consider supporting the cause even if you don’t win. Spread the word using the social links on the left.

We’ve brought you news about previous Bundle In A Box bundles here at The Indie Mine, but this latest one is near and dear to my heart because of the genre it features. The Indie RPG Bundle has launched and it includes up to 13 indie roleplaying games for just around $1.99. Lest you fear oversaturation of the genre, the bundle contains a wildly different array of titles. The list of eight games that consumers will get at the pay-what-you-want rate includes:

• Unemployment Quest (Windows/Desura): fight the monster of unemployment in a modern-day RPG.
• The Siege of the Necromancer (Windows/Mac/Desura ): horror choose-your-own-adventure RPG.
• Hack, Slash, Loot (Windows/Mac/Linux/Steam/Desura): a contemporary roguelike indie classic!
• Styrateg (Windows/Mac/Desura): a strategy based RPG with a strong narrative.
• Inaria (Windows): today’s Ultima, complete with retro pixel-art and wild ideas.
• Dungeon Fray (Windows/Linux/Desura): you have never seen a roguelike play this fast.
• Empires and Dungeons 2 (Windows): Tactics and dungeon-crawling.
• Frayed Knights: The Skull of S’makh-Daon (Windows/Desura): huge, humorous 3D RPG.

Bundle fans who pay more than the average will get access to five additional titles:

• Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land (Windows): Lovecraftian, turn-based horrors that have already been accepted on Steam. Codes coming soon!
• The Wizard from Tarnath Tor (Windows/Mac/Desura): a gloriously illustrated and highly polished gamebook.
• Northmark: Hour of the Wolf (Windows/Mac): stunning RPG card game.
• The Wizard’s Lair (Windows/Mac/Linux/Desura): RPG with roots in classic Roguelikes and the Mystery Dungeon series.
• Telepath RPG: Servants of God (Windows/Mac/Linux): a unique hybrid western RPG/strategy RPG.

As usual, the bundle will help raise funds for the Indie Dev Grant and for the Hellenic Centre for Mental Health and Treatment of Children. If enough people get in on the deal, extras like game soundtracks and artwork will be unlocked. For more information about these individual games including screenshots and video trailers, be sure to check out the official Bundle In A Box website.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Kyttaro Games for awhile now, bringing you news about their Bundle in a Box promotions. BIAB is back with the recently-launched Capsule Computers Indie Bundle. Starting at a minimum price of $1.99, interested consumers can net seven games including:

• Super Tower Rush (Windows/Desura) - “Frantic and gloriously pixel-arted arcade platformer.”
• Hacker Evolution Untold (Windows/Linux/Mac) - “Deep, sci-fi, hacking simulation.”
• Pixelry (Windows/Desura) - “Experience the artful cruelty jousting.”
• Blackwell Legacy (Windows/Steam) - This title and the next two are part of the Blackwell Trilogy, a series of ghostly adventure games.
• Blackwell Unbound (Windows/Steam)
• Blackwell Convergence (Windows/Steam)
• Blackwell Deception (Windows/Steam)

All seven of these titles are DRM-free, and the top three contributors will each net a Collector’s Edition mouse and mouse pad from Razer valued at $110. Better yet, some of the money earned from the promotion will go towards two great causes: the Australian Red Cross and the Indie Dev Grant. The latter will receive $15 for every 100 bundles sold. There are other rewards like soundtracks and wallpapers that will be unlocked when certain sales numbers have been met.

For those looking to net a little more from their purchase right away, four additional games will be made available if the average price (currently $4.07) is exceeded. These four titles are:

• Hamlet or the Last Game without MMORPG Features, Shaders and Product Placement (Steam)
• Hacker Evolution (Windows/Steam/Desura) – “…original and highly moddable.”
• Hacker Evolution Duality (Windows/Mac/Linux/Steam/Desura) – “…dystopian, sci-fi, open world hacking.”
• Secret of the Magic Crystals (Windows/Mac/Steam) – “…horse breed and race with the best of them.”

Additionally, we have some exciting news of our own. We’re giving away five of the bundles to our readers, and there are multiple ways to enter the giveaway. Be sure to try them all!

Kyttaro Games is at it again. Their latest bundle is the Eclectic Delights bundle, and like their previous Bundle In A Box promotions, this is a pay-what-you-want affair.

Five different games are being included:

• RTS War of the Human Tanks
• Platformer Eversion
• Horror-heavy Fibrillation
• Point-and-click adventure Shadows of the Vatican
• Strategy/adventure hybrid Delve Deeper along with all of its DLC

And for those gamers who pay more than the average, there are four more titles being thrown in:

• Platformer Adventures of Shuggy  which we reviewed here at The Indie Mine
• “Hilarious maze-’em-up” Fibble
• FMV fighting game Stay Dead
• and The 4th Wall, another game sure to please horror fans

Every one of these games is DRM-free for those fed up with the major game publishers. And perhaps best of all is the fact that some of the proceeds will go towards two worthy causes: The Indie Dev Grant (aimed at helping new studios get off on the right foot) and the Hellenic Centre for Mental Health and Treatment of Child and Family.

The minimum price right now is only $0.99, and as more people buy the bundle, more extras will be unlocked. For more info and trailers for the games included, check out the official Bundle In A Box site.

Here at The Indie Mine, we’re all about helping out independent developers in whatever way we can. So when we heard about a new fundraiser to help out new industry pioneers, we were excited to share the news with you. The 3rd Bundle in a  Box promotion will help bring in money to aid one lucky studio in funding their future projects. As indicated in the press release below, any developer wishing to participate in the promotion has until tomorrow to get their submissions in. Stay tuned to The Indie Mine for future announcements including when the bundle will officially launch.

The Indie Dev Grant, the feature of Bundle In A Box we are most proud of, is, as you may already know, a grant designed to help indie game developers actually create the games they’ve always wanted to. For every 100 bundles sold, $10 will be added to the grant. One indie developer (be it a group or an individual), voted by the esteemed fans of Bundle in a Box will get the whole amount after the bundle ends.

No strings will be attached by either Bundle in a Box or Kyttaro Games.

The grant can be used in any way the developer that earns it sees fit and will in no way be obliged to co-operate with Kyttaro Games or Bundle in a Box. Developers that have already taken part in one of our bundles or are willing to do so in the future are also eligible for the grant. Actually, absolutely anyone is free to enter; yes, even people trying to buy some time in order to create their next freeware gem.

As gamers will start voting on the developer that will earn the grant from the moment the bundle launches, we do ask those interested in participating to contact us with their entries up to November 26.

 

To enter, applicants will have to e-mail us at info@bundle-in-a-box.com and provide us with the following:

 

-A title for the project they are going to be using the IDG for.

-One screenshot or piece of concept from their project.

-One link to their project’s or their personal site (if available).

-A description of the project (up to 200 words)

-Something about them or their team (up to 100 words)

 

All Indie Dev Grant entries will be presented on tumblr and on the Bundle In A Box blog.

Despite there being a plethora of indie game bundle options in the past few months, their popularity hasn’t waned one bit. Earlier this year we announced the launch of the Indie Underdog Pack, a group of five indie developers bundling their existing games together to help fund their next projects.

The pack is back with five new games from five new developers. The theme this time centers around the IUP dog mascot Blue the Champion, so 10% of all proceeds will go towards the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). Check out the games below and be sure to check out the whole article for details on a giveaway contest

Without further ado, here are the five games included in the bundle:

And this likely isn’t all that’s coming to supporters. As certain milestones are reached, bonus items will be given away so be sure to spread the word before the bundle ends on June 24th.

Folks who regularly follow the indie market likely already know about the Humble Indie Bundle or the regular Indie Royale bundles. Well there’s a new horse in that race in the form of the Bundle In A Box – Adventure Bundle.

As the title suggests, this particular bundle features high-quality adventure games including the debut of The Sea Will Claim Everything by developer Jonas Kyratzes. There are six more titles in the pack including:

• Gemini Rue
• Metal Dead
• The Shivah
• Ben There, Dan That!
• Time Gentlemen, Please!
• 1893: A World’s Fair Mystery which is a text-based adventure game available for download for the first time via this bundle.

 All downloads will be DRM-free, and the majority are also available via Steam and Desura. As with most indie bundles, the payment model is a pay-what-you-want system, and the more you pay, the more that keeps the bundle cost down. Metal Dead and The Shivah are only available to consumers who pay more than the average price.

As with a number of indie bundles, games aren’t the only packaged content. The bonuses this time around include the Gemini Rue soundtrack and the Metal Dead Making Of booklet that is available exclusively through this bundle. The former is already available and the latter will unlock when certain sales milestones are hit.

There are good works associated with this bundle. Sales from the Adventure Bundle will go towards supporting The Hellenic Centre for Mental Health and Treatment of Child and Family. The charity work doesn’t stop there as this bundle also marks the launch of the Indie Dev Grant aimed at helping out smaller indie developers. It’s great to see that they’re covering both a charitable organization and also helping give back to fellow developers like themselves.

There are only a few days left in the sale, so go check it out now. There are some great games and bonuses at great prices (currently around $1) and it’s also for a pair of good causes.
