That is pretty good. RPG maker in my opinion is pretty easy, but you will need a better engine if you want really high quality games.

Still waiting for an email from Humble Bundle with a key to register my browser. With this and IndieGala taking hours to show up, I'm not having much luck with bundles lately.

Wait, VX Ace is $1, but RMXP is $6 tier? I mean, that's awesome (I paid $60 for RMXP back in the day) and I'll totally take it, but my face is totally o_O right now.

VX Ace is also like 15€ on Steam after a considerable discount.
People that bought it in the hour between Steam update and bundle update must be pissed.

What bundle has those three games, PLEASE?

No bundle has those games. Sometimes people give away real games and not just bundle turds. CosmicQueso is being very generous here.


Speaking of which, I've added a rule called MEGAGIVERSONLY which limits a giveaway entry to those who have given away at least 25 games, so if you're planning on giving away something especially special and you might want to ensure it's not snatched up by just anyone, this might be of value to you. I'm going to look into adding some sort of manual flag to identify users who have given away games they've actually purchased just to give away, a sort of "angel identifier" if you will.

When I first coded the giveaway functionality of ModBot, bundlemania wasn't quite what it was now, and my original inspiration of trying to convert the kind of friendliness I've experienced giving and receiving gifts from GAF friends on Steam to something that could happen in-thread. I see it every so often. The giveaways of real full-price games are really touching and generous.

I'm really happy that people give away all their bundle spares, it's clearly generous and it obviously ends up being a win-win and a positive attitude, but originally I imagined it being even better and I'd like to spend some time trying to figure out how to encourage that. I know it's a two-part equation: how do you reward generosity (without making it a pay-for-favour system, which I'd never want to do) and how do you ensure that the games given away at great personal expense actually go to people who appreciate and/or play them? So hopefully that's something I can keep picking at as time goes on.

Oh wow, I understand why some people are disappointed by the Humble RPG Maker Bundle, but still they're offering a 60€ software (never mind the current sale) for 1$... :eek:


Also, for all you interested in some light game dev: while RPGMaker is actually very limited (even if heavily scripted, a RPGM game is still, obviously, a RPGM game), the sheer fact that provides LOTS of the most annoying stuff ever to create (like menus or the dialogue system) makes it a goooooood piece of software to play around and try some stuff!


EDIT: I'd totally buy a Humble Construct 2 Bundle, like right now.

My guess on why XP is higher-tiered is because it was added to Steam more recently than VX Ace. Also some people like RPG Maker XP more, it is a debated thing is VX Ace or XP is the 'definitive' version of RPG Maker. I'm guessing XP is a higher tier also so those that really want it can go buy it, as XP has never been on sale on Steam before.

Just for a sake of clarity, he biggest differences between VX Ace and XP are:

-XP has an unlimited tilesheet function, as well as an ability to make event sprites as large as you want while making the events effect every tile they take up, which makes it the best level editor in RPG Maker. VX Ace is limited to Five tilesheets per map and the events are one tile individually with larger sprites still taking up one event tile.

-VX Ace is vastly modifiable, letting a lot of the engine be modfiable with the Ruby scripting language to allow you to do quite a bit with it, and its very versatile. With this programming, doing things like lighting engines, fog effects, custom movements, or even changing the type of game it can be (platformers, shmups, etc) and more are very easy.

-XP has a larger sprite base, with VX Ace having much smaller chibi sprite base.

-VX Ace has a much better freamrate (60 fps for games easily) and much better audio system (can use .ogg's and .wav's, while XP can only use Midi's)

MEGAGIVERSONLY
Click to expand...

Good sir, how can one see how much they've given?

Also, won't this just encourage people giving away really cheap bundle fluff so that they qualify for the megagiver status? Also, would it matter if the actual games are taken by someone or would modbot just flag someone per submission, regardless of whether the submission is actually redeemed by another gaffer or not? What's to stop someone from making fake submissions and never posting them, for example?

I'm sure you've thought about all of these scenarios and possibly many more but just in case something slipped by ya i thought i would ask those questions.

I have two types of giveaways I do, bundle spares and bundles of games I really like and go out of my way to give. Maybe there's be a way to somehow verify that user-side?

Like the giveaway I just did this morning was bundle keys, but then the giveaway I did last month with Resident Evil 4 and 6 and Daylight wasn't obviously, or the Christmas giveaways I did with Call of Cthulhu or Resident Evil Revelations and several others.

So maybe there'd be a way for users who receive the game to validate it somehow, or the givers make the claim? It is a tricky thing.

Amazing giveaway, too bad I missed it. Also missed the Transistor giveaway. :'(

Guess I'll have to be in front of my pc the whole time xD

Yesterday I finished Q.U.B.E: DC's story mode. Luckily it was free for those who owned the original.

Besides the added story, the campaign remains the same except for only 2 new secret rooms. Still haven't played the dlc extras but those should be same as the dlc previously available.

There is also the option to play with Oculus Rift but since I don't have one, I can't try it.

You really cant stop people from giving away really cheap stuff to inflate their status. I am sure there are people who only comment five times in the Steam threads just to be eligible for giveaways.

a friend of mine cant afford 1 dollar. no joke.

its actually a big part of why I buy every bundle for the spares, even if I only need like 1 game out of 8 (like the last indiegala lol, but that was also a "wait I have that? oh well" moment).

in the off chance there are more people out there like my friend that cant even afford a $1 bundle :/
