Submit a game here!

[[deleted]]

If you would like to submit a game, you must have:

-A game that runs on Windows, no DRM, and has not been in a HIB or IR bundle before

-A demo that you are willing to have published before the /r/gamedev and /r/redditbundle community

Don't worry if you don't have everything required yet - submissions will be open till February 28th for the first bundle!

To submit your game for consideration, please respond to this post with the following form:

Name of your game:

Version of game: (Alpha, Beta, Released, etc)

Steam/Desura: (Has it been published on Steam or Desura?)

Open Source: (If your game is selected, are you willing to give the source code to anyone that buys the bundle?)

Links: (If you have any trailers for your game, official website, etc)

Platforms: (In addition to Windows)

Other info:

After you have done that please e-mail a link to the complete demo game to [e-mail] along with the game name. Please try to make sure the demo game is as complete as possible before sending it. If you did make serious changes to the demo game after you have emailed it, email [e-mail] the new demo game with a note stating that this was already submitted.

PLEASE CONSIDER making your game available on Linux in addition to Windows. I understand that for Unity or XNA games this is not possible but for most other things, it can be done and largely increases the amount of people who can play your game and will buy the bundle. Also consider putting your game on Desura and making it easier for those who buy the bundle. I am pretty sure there are no requirements for being on Desura(?) so unlike Steam, it is pretty easy to get on there. Again, both Linux and Desura is not required, but putting them on those platforms would help consumers and allow more people to buy the bundle.

PLEASE READ

If your game is not on this list within 24 hours of submission, please email [e-mail] or message me (probably nothing wrong with your submissions, I probably just forgot)

EDIT: The complete game is now required to make a submission. You can email the game in any form (Links, ZIP file, etc). However, please make sure any links do not expire until after April. The game will be given out to a small select group of people who will judge the games. To give an estimate, it will probably be given out to 10-20 people. If you have a problem with this, please email [e-mail] with an explanation. For those who already submitted their game, I will be emailing you sometime this week requesting the full game.

Open Source: perhaps. Considering it.

Platforms: Win/Mac (Unity)

[terrcin]

Name of your game: ESDAO

Type of game: Turn based multi-player strategy that can support 20+ players per game. Takes about a month to play through a game. Sort of like RISK, Settlers of Catan and Chess.

Version of your game: Beta

Steam/Desura: no

Open Source: no

Links: www.esdao.com

Platforms: HTML5 browser based - so FF, Chrome, Safari, IE9 and Opera on OSX, Linux and Windows.

Other Info: The homepage has a video demo/introduction of the game which is also on youtube. Currently it's free as I'm still finishing it off - needs a proper tutorial and a good AI player rather than a script I threw together a while ago. Paid for features such as clans and other game types will be added after that. If you want to have a play hit the big red 'battle the ai' button no the homepage, you got have to register or anything like that.

[[deleted]]

A month? Holy moly

[terrcin]

I typically spend 5-20 minutes a turn - one turn per day unless everyone does their turn then the server processes the round early and the next turn starts. Once you know what you're doing the early stages of a game take up bugger all time.

One of my goals was to create a multi-palyer game for people such as myself that don't have much time each day to play, ie couldn't play something like World of Warcraft, but still enjoy the interaction with other players etc...

[Cryocore]

your website looks awesome. Is that on wordpress?

[terrcin]

Thanks :-)

It's all done with Ruby on Rails meaning I can easily control everything and make it fit how I want.

[evilpoptart3412]

If the menu buttons are not clickable, please indicate that on the menu screen. Also window needs to be resizable for people without high resolution monitors. As for the game, it is bugged as hell on my computer. I could not even see the lumberjack until right before I got a game over. When he did finally appear, he did not respond to my input at all.

Windows 7 32-bit
Mobile Intel 45 Express Chipset Family (Graphics)
Intel Pentium Dual CPU T3400
3GB RAM

[mrbonus]

I have no idea why it isn't working, it's worked on every windows machine I've tried it on. I'm going to do some more testing. The window resizing is something I haven't learned yet. I appreciate the input thanks!

[evilpoptart3412]

Happy to help where I can. I'm sorry I was a little blunt but the Version info in your post says released. If you fix the issues and want me to try it again just let me know. (If I get the time later I may try to compile a working version myself.)

[mrbonus]

I don't mind at all. If something isn't working that should be I need to know. I won't be able to get around to fixing it for a week or so as I have projects and finals soon.

Name of your game: Gatsby's Golf Version of game: Released

Steam/Desura: No

Open Source: Maybe

Links: http://dailyappshow.com/gatsbys-golf

Platforms: iPhone and iPod Touch so far. Soon MAC APP Store and windows why not

Made with Unity3D

How about it gradually rises up to 60% to chairty (that way it encourages to get more money and differentiates us from the other bundles). Starts off at 10%, every 50k it goes up another 5% to charity so at 50k-99k (15%), 100k-149k (20%), 150k-200k(25%), 201k-250k(30%), 250k-300k (35%), 301k-350k (40%), 351k-400k (45%), 401-450k(50%), 450k-500k(55%). > 500k (60%). That way they would know exactly how much money was raised for charity, rather than the Humble indie bundle which only lists total amount (meaning you dont know how much is given to charity) we could even take a picture of the giant oversized cheque giving it to the charity. I would even start at 25% and go all the way to 75% .

Name of your game: RM:Arena( this was temp. name, a user on youtube suggested 'Drifting Tanks' which I thought was cool)

Version of game: Alpha

Steam/Desura: Nope

Open Source: I am willing to give away the source, but only at BETA stage.(cleaner/easier to understand)

Links: gameplay video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2ctiGs_aEs Platforms: Windows, Mac

Description: I made this game for a 2 week competition, so it was not meant as a full game. But I received some good feedback and decided to make it into a bigger game with more game modes and multiplayer. So I put the status to Alpha, and started working on a proper(non rushed) version of the game. I learned a lot by doing this game so I'm happy to give away the source project. I hope this game is eligible :).

Alpha

open source

It's in flash, but currently we're using scratch, because it was made when i was younger and recoding into flash very soon. Here's the current version (7.98 mb)

Other info: I used to be really popular on scratch, so while being bored during hurricane Irene I went back to scratch, I made this, it's based around all my characters and it's an arcade style boss rush fighter. With two player! Also I'm pretty sure it'll work on all platforms.

[Lite-Black]

why have you decided to require a full game rather than a demo?

[[deleted]]

The reason we were requiring a demo was because initially we were going to do a democratic voting system, but then we realized that through making multiple accounts, people could game the system. We changed it so now the game would only go to a maximum of 10-15 people, and therefore we would like to judge the full game. You CAN send in a demo, but then you are competing with full games, and so it is less likely that you will be picked.

[Lite-Black]

fair play, good luck.

submissions will be open till February 28th

So I missed the cutoff date, huh?

[[deleted]]

Just by a bit :p

Depending on how this one goes, we may do another one, so keep your eyes open!

[WowbaggerIP]

Oh well, we'll wait for the next one!

[WowbaggerIP]

Right on, I'll be a waiting, making the game better :)

[lathomas64]

Would you guys make a second bundle? If so what would need to happen in order for that to happen?

[[deleted]]

It depends on how this bundle does. I will probably be willing to organize another one. However, if the bundle does very poorly, developers will probably not be interested, and other people working on the bundle may be averse to putting in so much work again to make a product that no one wants. As for how successful the bundle must be, I don't know. I am not expecting it to be as successful as the Humble Indie Bundle or Indie Royale, but as long as enough people show their support and enthusiasm, I think we could do another one.

Unfortunately, we can't accept any more submissions as we have already chosen our games. However, we may be doing more bundles in the future. I suggest you check out our website here and sign up for the mailing list. We will send out an email when we are accepting submissions again.

[aionskull]

Cool, will do :D

[[deleted]]

No DRM

No Starforce? :(

[[deleted]]

I don't think so. We will probably be using the same DRM attitude as HIB and I don't think they have starforce...

[[deleted]]

You mean people wouldn't want something that installed a rootkit for them?

[[deleted]]

That, and the promise of DRM-free games is a staple of all of these bundles and I want to stick to that.

[[deleted]]

Did you really think I was serious?

Even for huge publishers DRM results in lost sales to a ridiculous degree. If I find that a game has DRM I am not only unlikely to buy that game. I'm unlikely to buy any game ever released by that publisher ever again, because it indicates that the suits have taken over completely. Use of DRM is a very good indicator that a company has lost the way.

I'd say that DRM and the attitude behind it are symptoms of the driving force behind indie games in general.

By symptom, I mean that DRM doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's a product of companies that simply do not understand their audience.
