Desura, Steam for indie games?

Make vague threats, e.g. your thread title should read, "Let's talk about this cool game... or else."

._. I'll think I'll try something that refers the game...

Like... Umm... "Unepic, geek in real Dn D scenario" or "Unepic, Geeks and sorcery"?... Nah that sounds too cheesy...

Anyway, problem is getting people to check the thread then get interested in game despite my grammar or way of expressing myself.

Also, why the heck Steam didn't accept this game despite accepting stuff like "Bumbledore" that is straight mobile phone game port? D:<

There's freaking Bejeweled on Steam. :P

One of my issues with Desura is that I don't know when promotions are on. Steam does a pretty decent job with (1) their having summer and winter sales pretty regularly, and (2) their advertising new stuff and daily/weekly deals through their client. Does Desura do the same?

I don't know, in first post of this thread I didn't even have account Though Desura games are already pretty cheap as there aren't many AAA blockbusters and most of those are already old ones.

I got the Indie Royale spring bundle earlier today. :)

Yay!

Did you btw ever check out Unepic?

Not yet.

Ok, please check the demo so I can get warm feelings about getting someone check the game out.

Desura now has its own version of Tobe's Vertical Adventure!

If you got it via the Indie Royale Spring Bundle, then just re-redeem your game and jiggle around with its entry on your "Play" list on Desura, and after a while you'll get it to update—at which point it'll start installing the Desura version.

You may need to restart Desura. I did.

I use Desura since a short while. It's really great that it's possible to download games directly, without the need to install the actual Desura software, so I can download them at an internet cafe (which I pretty much have to, considering my bad connection).

So far, I bought Evil Quest, Amnesia, Uplink and Sugar Cube (not sure about the name, to be honest). Also, I got some freeware stuff. I'll probably get more today. Maybe I'll check out Unepic, which Spooky Mask is so desperate to plug. It seems interesting, I like platformers and RPGs and it has high ratings, so it seems like a good choice.

Wohoo :D Great games need to be played by greater amount of people!

This looks interesting: Rin's Quest

No, I haven't played it. Haven't even installed the demo yet.

Huh? Referring to game you just posted or answering to me in advance? xD

The game you pimped is one whose demo I have installed. :)

Yay xD

A lot of these games currently on sale (until June 1) are Desura games.

I wonder if buying direct from the developers you can receive Steam or Desura keys?

*shrugs*

I've asked the developers of Explodemon about that by e-mail and on their Desura page and they haven't gotten back to me.

Also, it seems that direct-buying Unepic is discounted, though Desura still has the price at $9.99.

Curiously, Pitman is $0.99 on Desura and $1.29 direct purchase, during this Because We May sale.

Huh, confusing ._.

Isn't Steam Steam for indie games?

Not really They didn't accept Unepic which is really great indie game while allowing stuff like Bejeweled and Bumbledore

Well Bunbledore is bad but there are worse games accepted in Steam like the reskin of Dinner Dash with zombies or Revelations2012.

Yeah, those were just examples

Revelation 2012 is bad? I don't have bought it, but it looked kind of interesting in screenshots if I recall right...
