Yousei is actually the third game in a series. From the developers FAQ:
"Q: What are Jisei and Kansei? Do I have to play those first?
A: Jisei and Kansei are both prequels to Yousei. Jisei is the first in the series, and Kansei comes second. While Yousei briefly recaps the events of the first two games, it's strongly recommended that you at least play Kansei for the full story experience. You can buy both Jisei and Kansei in a discounted bundle here."
I really hope the first and the second games gets added as bonus. Otherwise groupees should just have added the first game of the series and if you like it, you could buy the other two yourself... It just makes no sense this way.
And regarding "Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm": The version included in this groupees is actually only the "normal" currently available version of "Yatagarasu" (this one). At least menu etc. is translated in english. So if "Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm" gets funded and makes its way to steam, we will NOT get a steam key for this version of course. Will be the same as it was with the remake of Larry in a previous groupees.
And another important thing about Croixleur: It has a different greenlight-stamp than all the games before. We will NOT get a steam-key if this game gets greenlight. This was confirmed by the dev...

The thing with Croixleur is especially interesting because it was already featured in the Indie Royale Debut 2.0. You will of course also not get a steam key from there. IndieRoyale is on the safe side, because they never promised keys. From their facebook: "Developers almost always provide Steam keys for people who have bought their games in one of our bundles but it is ultimately up to the developer."
However of course I bought the bundle with the hope for a steam key. And Croixleur was the main reason why I bought this IR bundle and I really think it will get greenlit. This is a real bummer...
EDIT: There is NO "official" information specifically on whether you get a steam key from the IndieRoyale. The tweet was a response to the groupees. However, I think it would be really strange If you would get one from the IndieRoyale, but not from the Groupees. That's why I state you will not get a key from the IR.

Same here, I bought that bundle 80% for Croixleur. Would be a real shame, and a bad image for them since at that time they said they would give keys on their greenlight page.

Oh and here the full list:

wow, what a fucking bummer. I have it on desura but don't know where I got it. SO basically this is now a lie

Wow, you are right, I wasn't even aware of this comment:
"Essentially what Saana said. It's not necessarily just Desura buyers only, usually, early supporters who buy directly from the developer site also get rewarded with a key once the game shows up on Steam. Same deal with, for example, indie bundle adopters."

That is a 7 month old post which was posted around the time of the Indie Royale bundle and should be read in that context. Furthermore, it has come to light that it was written by someone that was not authorized to make that kind of declaration.

nop, they retract their twitter statement good thing they saw that possible outrage that will happen
Comment has been collapsed.
I didn't say they're not worried about backlash, I'm saying that "nope" is an inaccurate and rude way to reply to my initial message under the circumstances. My post remains accurate, and was based on the information available at the time it was written, not the future.

Cite from the publisher: "Anyone who purchases Croixleur through Desura, GamersGate, Rice Digital, etc. will get a Steam key" "IF the game appears on Steam"!
So, yes, if you buy it from Gamersgate you will get a steamkey, IF(!) the game gets greenlit.
Comment has been collapsed.
So first:
No definite comment for Jisei and Kansei, bit Shifty Slug (Groupees Support) said: "Maybe we see them as a bonus :)"
And regarding Croixleur:
If the game gets greenlit and
a) you bought the game from the dev or directly from desura: you will get a steam key and thanks ;)
b) you bought the game in the groupees: you will NOT get a steam key (because it is clearly stated there)
c) you bought the game in the IndieRoyale Debut 2: "We didn't commit either way for IR" (cited directly from Nyu Media from the groupees chat) -> so it is still unclear and will probably only decided if the game gets greenlit at all.
The misleading entry on the steam greenlight page was not authorized: "Hm. That's a post by AlphaProspector who has access rights to the GL entry and works with us, but doesn't speak for the company"
Comment has been collapsed.
They're just creating bad publicity for themselves by not giving out a key once it gets greenlit. Creates a poor image, not a good thing for such a niche game, a genre which in the West essentially thrives on dedicated fans.
EDIT: Nevermind, Kedyn just posted that they changed their minds.

xD, after all the discussion the publisher of croixleur (Nyu Media) just popped in the groupees chat again:
"Change of position: we'll promise Steam keys to bundle purchasers if Croixleur is greenlit
Don't say we don't listen :)"
Yeah :D
And it also applies to the Indie Royale, steam keys for everyone (if the game gets greenlit) ^^
So put your "yes" here: vote on steam greenlight :)

War of The Human Tanks made me download Desura (because it's an awesome game :D)! Why didnt i do it before ^_^' ? Desura looks like a really nice client. I found out that i have games that i didnt have XD. I dont remember activating them on Desura (and no i dont have them on steam XD).

i was waiting for Cherry Tree High Comedy Blub to check it :D cool, i hope there will be more reward tiers with something nice on steam :D

And here I ignored it at first because I thought it was ebooks (I like my ebooks to have DRM, thank you very much. Much easier when I just download 'em from the cloud). Glad I checked the e-mail. Insta-buy for CTHCC. Now I just need to see what else is good.
Side note: I am flabbergasted that War of the Human Tanks is somehow over a gigabyte in size.

Bump for still being a great bundle!
And as the op has not yet updated the topic, I will post the infos again here:
Bonus games until now:
Jisei, Kansei and Yousei are all part of one series, that you can get complete here!
It is a "build-a-bundle" so you can decide which games you want, but you have to take at least 2! There may be a special promotion later, where the minimum to purchase the bundle is 1 game! The bonus games listed above are added to every purchase.
Price is $0.75 per game (so $1.50 minimum to purchase the bundle). However, you get a small discount the more games you select. So the price for the full bundle (7 games) is $4.50 and not $5.25.

Well, the new bonus is the android version of it, so you get it for free, you will just need to either run in on Android device or in Android emulator.
Comment has been collapsed.
Anyone know if this bundle will have it where I can buy only one game? I'm only really interested in trying Cherry Tree High Comedy Club since I've never really played any of these style games and heard good things about this one. If not, any recommendations? I already own War of the Human Tanks but strategy games are not my thing. And I'm not really looking for more bullet hell style games either since I just got the Exceed collection from Indiegala.

They typically do this, but there is absolutely no guarantee.
http://groupees.com/bemine and http://groupees.com/bemine2 both have goals that were not reached and as such, not given out.

This. The past half hour or so saw around 22 more sold, so I'd say things are going at a fair rate to see the bonuses
