Developer Independence is a fantastic thing. Being able to control the prices for your games needs to be celebrated. We here at DesuraNET believe that as a developer you should have the freedom to do as you please, and it seems we are not the only ones who share such ideals.
Because We May is a sale collective of developers from different websites, devices and genres that have set low prices for the last week of May. Why? Because they can.
Here are a few of our favorites and recommendations for you:
- Bean's Quest
- Children of Liberty
- Pallino d'Oro 2012
- Pitman
- Helena the 3rd
- Three Dead Zed
- Retention
- Explodemon
- FOTONICA
- Frayed Knights: The Skull of S'makh-Daon
- Sugar Cube : Bittersweet Factory
- Conquest of Elysium 3
- POP: Methodology Experiment One
- Numen: Contest of Heroes
- Smiles HD
- Ballin
- Dreamscape
- LEVEL UP!
- Mos Speedrun
- Antipole
- Ensign-1
If you want to be apart of the awesome gathering of developers simply fill out this form and discount your game as much as you want! Then just comment in this post and I will update the list!
There are a few games which are on sale on Steam as part of BWM, but not on sale here for some reason. For example, Dungeons of Dredmor and Q.U.B.E.
On the site you had to select the specific section where your game is available. It wasn't really obvious at first that you could submit multiple times for different sections but hopefully developers will email in updates.
Didn't know about the last two in that list, thanks - they aren't on the BWM site.
Though the list is missing: Metagolf Indiedb.com and Silverquest Indiedb.com
Any developers that add their Desura games to Because We May (or even those already in it) are perfectly welcome to also come shout out about their game in our group's forums: Indiedb.com
I've been linking to that thread from elsewhere (it's had nearly 3,000 views if our group's stats are anything to go by), to get the word out about the Desura games participating in the event, as unfortunately Desura's (& other stores') participation wasn't initially well advertised by BWM.
So if you followed @Desura's tweet to this article, please retweet it & spread the good word... :)
There's three more:
Ballin Indiedb.com
Dreamscape Indiedb.com
LEVEL UP! Indiedb.com
Smiles HD was added to BWM's site, but Numen isn't appearing in the 'Others' section, but is listed under 'Steam'.
Numen is there... I'm just daft.
Added today:
Mos Speedrun Indiedb.com
(only the Windows version unfortunately :( )
Just added:
Antipole Indiedb.com
Ensign-1 Indiedb.com
Updated list: Indiedb.com
Eodon Games has added three games to this list:
Virustroids
Biosweeper
Zombie Skeet
I cant post links yet but our website is eodongames dot com
Huh. It says "May 24 through June 1" on the site.
But the sale's over on some of those already.
