Will you buy this?
There have just been more games added, since another page of content just appeared.
Oh noes ... now I need to go through all of the pages and find the new additions ;___;

There literally is something for everybody in this bundle :)

hmm, why did the 2 games get reposted?
Did they add something to the game or were they deleted and readded again (and if so why?)?

A Hole New World is literally at the very end of the 56 pages, are they just putting new additions for last now?

I strongly recommend Sewer Rave. But, in order to achieve the most fulfilling and enjoyable game experience that this game can possibly offer, a word whose etymology can be traced all the way back to ancient Scythian or Thracian should be seriously taken into account when considering the overall equation regarding this piece of software.

Which is?
Comment has been collapsed.
a word whose etymology
were you referring to "sewer"? searched a little but didn't find any Scythian or Thracian trace...
still very tempted, tho. thanks, i'll surely give this a try.

is not automatic. It add a link to the bundle, then you have to choose which game you want to add.
You may want to check this reddit, and this spreadsheet.

Half an hour tops to add the 20-30 must have games, but for me half the fun was navigate and discover new things. Like those old CD/DVDs full of stuff that use to be in PC magazines of old.

Is also has a search box, so using the names of the games that you want is even faster.

Maybe after the bundle's over.
"We decided that more people would rather their library not be flooded with hundreds of things they don’t want, and let them choose the things they do want by making all the bundle items hidden by default.
We also made this change to reduce load on the server, since there are thousands of people buying the bundle. After the bundle hype has died down we’d be glad to look into adding a button to show everything in your library at once."

I just noticed there is a client for itch.io. Is the itch.io client no good? https://itch.io/app
Comment has been collapsed.
It works pretty much like old Galaxy client, it will download and install the games, but has no cloud functions etc.
Comment has been collapsed.
imo, it's very good. light, fast with a browser that works. also, has the option to install it in "sandbox mode".
...give it a try!

Thanks for this! I didn't know they had a launcher :)
This makes itch way more usable for me.
I feared I would have to manually check for game updates everytime xD
Comment has been collapsed.
You are very welcome. I didn't have a clue about it either until I happened to stumble upon it. I don't know why Itcho.io hides the launcher like that. It makes me regret not activating old lootboy itchi.io games I won that I ended up deleting without ever activating them. To me it just feels much better having the games in a launcher.
Comment has been collapsed.
This launcher is as inconvenient as it gets, tho. No settings available for grid view of your inventory items nor any option whatsoever to sort them. There's ... room for improvement ;P
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, some improvements would be nice :)
I'm especially missing the option to set a bandwidth limit :(
But I like the "Tabs" feature though :)
It's off by default, I think, but it's a nice way to create some shortcuts to frequently used pages :)
Now I just need to start filtering out the good games xD
Comment has been collapsed.
I definitely wish for a grid view in the launcher, but there is at least the option of sorting by date acquired or alphabetically.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, same :)
I really don't want to manage all those game files myself xD

Neversong has been removed from this bundle because it was requested to be added by a user impersonating its' creator.
Comment has been collapsed.
I wonder if the bundle will end with a nice bang to it, more than it has already. :3
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow, after all those additions I couldn't resist. Especially since there are some of my wishlisted games in it :)

Here is a good way to filter for only games that you can find on Steam: https://randombundlegame.com/browse?categories=Game&steam=true
Comment has been collapsed.
There's somewhere between 40 and 60 games that looks pretty promising to me. And if you're the type who could or would use tilesets or other game assets, there are probably at least 20 packs which allow use even for commercial projects.
Plenty of Pen & Paper RPGs that would probably be fun, but I don't see myself getting much use out of any of them any time soon.
There are also plenty of other things if you're into Visual Novels and Abstract Exploration games, though I'm not particularly interested in those myself.

A few hours left to buy the best bundle ever made.
Comment has been collapsed.
I wonder if itch.io can parlay this momentum and maybe become what Humble Bundle used to be: a huge voice for the DRM-free movement, great exposure for indie games and developers, amazing contributions to charities, and of course some great deals for fans of indie games.
Just imagine if they improved their library management tools and started up weekly/monthly bundles with nicely curated indie games. The amount they raised for this cause reminds me a lot of the peak years of Humble Bundle, and shows they could have some huge reach if they handle this right. In addition, by focusing on DRM-free distribution only for these bundles developers wouldn't have to worry about a glut of resellers devaluing their games and eroding future sales by flooding the grey market with cheap Steam keys.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well said, especially about that old Humble Bundle feel. Let’s hope that this sudden popularity will let them grow.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not that great of an argument, getting Steam keys for your game is by no means a requirement. Steam keys are generated because they're more desired than DRM-free copies.
There are many indie games out there that don't sell Steam copies outside Steam however.

The difference between Itch.io/old HB and new HB is soooo noticable. You just have to compare this bundle to the one HB launched for racial justice just now
Comment has been collapsed.
Over 8 million dollars raised, enough games for a lifetime, a massive visibility boost. Once agan I really hope this prompts Itch to step up their game.
