So some very exciting news today, as we announce the launch of the Arcen-enriched Arclight Bundle -- available now on Indie Royale.As you can see, with the exception of Skyward Collapse, we packed this one to the brim:

That's five (or 83.3%) of our releases, but did you think we'd stop there? Not if you know Arcen. We're also throwing in all five (or 100%) of AI War's expansions:


Yes, that includes the upcoming Vengeance of the Machine expansion. Playable in beta starting right now for bundle owners. So. Much. Arcen.

Own some, most or all of our games already? No sweat, you can pre-order the bundle individually through our store (but even if you do own a few of our games, may we suggest going with the bundle route for purchasing the expansion and picking up a nice little five-game + four-expansion bonus?).

Still think it's an offer you can refuse? How about Pablo Vega's soundtracks and a Disasterpeace album piled on top for hitting the $8 mark? I rest my case.


The Arclight Bundle is only available for one week (ends June 14), so grab it while you can!

Ah, that's the announcement.

Cool beans, and an unbelievable deal. If you need just 2 of the 10 things on the list then you get a steal.
Life is short. Have fun.

I have all but VotM, but I'll probably pick it up anyway.  This is an incredible deal, and I hope it leads to more recognition for Arcen's lesser known titles.

Will I get Steam key for VotM if I get it from Royale?

Also, what's the soundtrack quality in the bundle? FLAC? MP3 320?

Needless to say a very very good deal. I hope it sells well for you. I will spread word about the bundle as much as possible. I'll post something up on a bargain hunting site I usually visit as they always appreciate good value purchases. Good luck with the promotion.

Bought... mainly for Pablo's soundtracks  :D.  Woooo I'm a top 10 contributor (at least for a little bit).

Edit: Awwww... knocked out of the top 10 after about 5 minutes  :(

Bought the bundle...  However, I've only got a desura key for VotM.  Is there no standalone key?

EDIT:  OK... There's no standalone key this time.  Good to know.  And no way to disable the 5th expansion...  Had I known that, I might have waited until I finished my existing AS game before installing.  Regardless, thanks for the bundle!  SOUNDTRACKS!!!

Right, we aren't using license keys for that expansion, so you don't have to enter yet another key when doing a fresh install, etc.

*sees the "arclight" picture at the bottom* of the OP

I don't think you created it, but that on/off switch bugs me. Just so you know  :P

Indeed, the sound alone is tempting to pay for the 8 dollars, even if you don't need any more games.

Completely agreed.  $8 for expansion plus soundtracks >>$4.50 for expansion.  Heck, $8 for all the soundtracks is amazing on its own!

It says "9 OST"s so I think that means AIW + first four expansions (VotM's OST isn't done yet) + AVWW + Valley2 + Tidalis + SH.
