Steam Big Ass Indie Sale

Indie Games Sale

Steam’s having a big indie game promotion through GDC, with every title going for at least a 10% discount. And 33% off games like World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Darwinia, Defcon, and Eets.

Speaking of GDC, a lot of indie folks arrived in San Francisco today for the conference. I guess it’s officially unofficially begun. It’s also the first day of spring. Inhales deeply.

TIGSource senior editor Brandon “BMcC” McFartin and I will be covering the indie side of GDC all of next week. We’ll do our best to bring you adequate proportions of news, fun, and foibles from the Independent Games Summit and various related activities. Stay tuned.

    mcfartin, eh?

  • Cobalt

    I see Aquaria is in third place for top rated indie games. I need to buy that. Soon.

  • Xander

    And I will attempt to post things which will probably fail to rival anything that comes from GDC and the IGF. Let the games begin!

  • RobF

    Woo, just tried Osmos for the first time. It’s a bit fiddly at first but man, that’s cool.

  • Cas

    Buy it from the source, kids!

  • Trotim

    Oh yes, having a big sale now is pretty clever with Braid coming up on the 31st.

  • PoV

    GD-McFrakkin-C boyo’z!!

    San Fran weather looks depressed today.

  • Valkyrie

    @Trotim
    That would make sense if the sale lasted that long, but it ends the 29th. This is purely a sale for IGF. That explains why a lot of the games that went up for grabs this past week just *happened* to be nominated.

  • Garbled

    Also, 75% off both Oddworld games this weekend on Steam. Get both for less than the price of a burrito.

  • Edmund

    Coils up there to for anyone that missed the flash version

  • Rolf Soldaat

    One euro still doesn’t equal one dollar.

    Bahahaahahahaha!!

    Minori: What are you listening to today?

    Ryo: Rock.

    Minori: Oh. It was pop music yesterday, right?

    Ryo: Yeah.

    Minori: Classical before that.

    Ryo: Yeah.

    Minori: And anime songs before that.

    Ryo: Yeah.

    Minori: Is it a set rotation?

    Minori notices something for once.

    Ryo: Wow, you caught on.

    Minori: Of course. I go to school with you every day.

    Now that she mentions it…

    But if that’s the case, she should’ve realized sooner.

    Minori and I have been friends for over 10 years, and we’ve gone to school together since middle school.

    Conclusion…

    Minori is an idiot
