We recently covered the Indie Royale Launch Bundle hitting the web<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The whole idea behind the initiative was to provide a bundle of 4 sweet-looking indie games at a low price that went up in increments as more people purchased it.<\/p>\n

Basically the more people bought, the higher the price went for later-adopters – unless of course, you were feeling charitable and paid in more, which brought the price down for everyone.<\/p>\n

Now that the Launch Bundle sale time has ended, we can look at how things went – and with 37,558 bundles sold – I’d say that it was pretty successful.<\/p>\n

Throughout the bidding, the publishers for Gemini Rue, Wadjet Eye Games, and Sanctum developers, Coffee Stain Studios made a whole bunch of bonus content (such as DLC and Steam keys) available for purchasers of the bundle.<\/p>\n

Minecraft creator, Markus “Notch” Persson, kindly donated close to 300 dollars to the cause, bringing the price way down to 1 dollar for everyone for a while.<\/p>\n

If you missed the Launch Bundle, you can obviously still get all the games individually, but the special prices do not apply – and we assume the special bonuses offered by the developers don’t either.<\/p>\n

The countdown to the next bundle has begun, with 9 days still remaining before the next 4 indie games become available.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for that!<\/p>\n
