So this are going to be two good weeks for indie games, first is the Groupees (from bemine fame) Build A Bundle that launched today.
Build a bundle has 12 games which are: {{Nikopol:Secrets Of The Immortals}}; Sideway New York; Caster; The Ball; Necrovision; Light Fish; Post Apocalyptic Mayhem; Xotic; BEEP; Ubersoldier2; {{Dark Fall:Lost Souls}} and Diamond Dan. The main gimmick of this bundle is that you choose what games do you want and ithe pay what you want models is based on quantity instead of which games you choose. You must choose a minium of three games and starts at a minium of $3 the next three games that you add are $0.7 each and the final thrre are $0.50 each so you can have all games for $9 and 20% of every dollar goes to Polar Bear International.
Then the Thursday (24th of may) launchs Because We May which has a lot of indie games from various store that includes the ios App Store, Mac App Store, Google Play, Steam, some other stores, some games for the Xbox360 and games to purchase direct from the developers. One of the games that I would like to highlight is The Binding Of Isaac the Steam Version,see the next paragraph for the reason.
The Monday 28th there will be released a $3 DLC for The Binding Of Isaac called Wrath Of The Lamb that will add 70% more content than the one already in the game, that means more bosses, levels, items, enemys, at least one character, one more ending, ten new challenges and 25 more achievements but it will only be realesed for the Steam Version of the game. If you don't have it is a great game that has a lot of replay value due to been a rouguelike with random generated levels and drops. The only problems of this gamer is that it has slow downs in some machines and that it may produce Squick.
Then in two weeks will be the nex Indie Royale bundle and some people theorize that we are close to another Humble Indie Bundle.
Huh, how many humble bundleish things there are?
Indie Music bundle, Humble Bundle, Indie Royale, Indie Gala, those two you just posted, what else?
There's Indie Face Kick, there's a Gamers Gate-based bundle, there's an EA bundle, there's a parody bundle called the Free Indie Bundle, and a lot more, actually.

Oh man, this will be a bad month for wallets, thankfully the the next big Steam sale will probably be at the end of june and credit cards will have ended their month. Anyway aparently tomorrow is the first Bundle in a Box that has all games made specifically for the bundle and adventure themed. And this Fryday there will be another Indie Face Kick Bundle.
The quantity of Indie Bundles is baffling.
I have NO IDEA why, but right now Steam has lots of indie games on sale right now...you guys might want to grab it...
Update: Oh now I got it, it has to do with this event...try to grab it quickly guys...it's ending soon...

And even if it does not interest you the new bundle, but you have already bought a previous Indie Royale bundle it may interest you that they released a Collection feature that has a reward for every 5 different bundles bought and an easy access to your bundles download page. You can create an account or use your Desura, Facebook, Twitter, Google or Steam to login.
Steam is currently featuring a Cube Pack, which includes these games for $9.99:
Gamers Gate is featuring their second Indie Fort Bundle, which contains these games for a minimum of $5.99:
- {{3079}}
- Fortix 2
- Aztaka
- Dark Scavenger
- DEMISE Ascension
- Intrusion 2
- Fate Of The World DLC - upgrade and Tipping Point (I do NOT know whether this DLC is Steam-redeemable if you have Fot W on Steam)
- Bastion - soundtrack (only)
Indie Royale's current package, the June Bug Bundle, I've already posted.

I just want someone to put all the old Doom games on sale. When the id Software's anniversary?
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.The Worlds of Ultima games (Savage Empire and Martian Dreams) are out on GOG now. And they have a pretty good deal for them: They are completely free.
I think it's permanent, so it's not really a "deal", but it's still neat.
People aren't as awful as the internet makes them out to be.75 % off for all Deus Ex-titles on Steam this weekend! Deus Ex, Deus Ex: Invisible War and Deus Ex: Human Revolution with all DLC in a bundle as well. Weekend deal, ends the 25th.
Join us in our quest to play all RPG video games! Moving on to disc 2 of Grandia!Is gog.com getting more expensive or am I imagining things?

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.Are they still pricing things at $5.99 and occasionally $9.99?
Yup, just checked. Most games are around the $5.99/$9.99 mark. There are first-run games, including the Witcher 2 that are a lot more pricy in comparison though.
Amazon now has a sales event going on right now for the entire month.
I now go by Graf von Tirol.The Steam Summer Sale has launched it last until Monday the 23rd and doesn't have anything like the summer camp or treasure hunt Though they added Steam Badges.
How do the Steam Badges work?
edited 12th Jul '12 10:59:22 AM by RTaco
There are some retroactive badges (Treasure Hunt, Potato Sack, Summer Camp, Great Gift Pile), one for having Steam for more than one year (Years Of Service medal) and rigth now two achievable. One is comunity pilar (or however it is called) that is easy to get, just do what it says in the task. The other one is for this summer sale and requires you to vote X number, vote at least one every day, join the summer camp group and buy a game in offer.
Error 503. No steam for you.
Where are these badges found anyways?
Apocalypse: Dirge Of Swans.Under "Profile".

The most recent Indie Royale has ended, but these two bundles are still going:
- Gamedev Bundle: Seems to be organized by Reddit. I don't know much else about this. https://gamedevbundle.com/
- Recession Bundle: http://www.indiegamebundles.com/recessionbundle/

A Steam not Summer Sale deal, if you pre-purchase Orcs Must Die 2 you save 10%. Also it is interesting to note that it will have online coop multiplayer and like the first one it will have audio localization for all the languages it supports.
