Hey, way to go Arcen! You finally made it to your own Humble Bundle!

I hope you both drum up a good amount of cash for charity, as well as yourselves. As for me, I'm taking advantage of this to get Skyward Collapse and the soundtrack!

edit: If I'm not mistaken, the sales in the last hour top the total sales for an entire week of the Indie Royale. Not sure if the profit per sale is comparable, but that's still pretty good!

Was your computer made in the last decade?

If yes, you can play Arcen's games.

High caps does

I decided to get in on this, adjusted the sliders to be full arcen. If it had a Keith tip jar, I would have done one of those. I have every title (except for one), but consider it my donation for AI war. Please continue the free and paid DLC for AI war, which is really what I want to incentivize.

It's the best way to play.

I appreciate it, and we definitely hear the importance of AIW going forward.

With Bionic we realized that we had something worth putting more time into than initially planned (as noted previously, there is some danger in the "more projects, quicker" approach of shortchanging an idea, and we're avoiding that here), in the sense of both of us staying full-time on it longer rather than extending its planned release schedule, so that's basically where I've been as far as why AIW hasn't seen an update in a while.  The other major contributor there is that my family's in the last stages before the birth of our third child, so there just hasn't been enough of me to go around, really.

But AIW is definitely not forgotten

I have to play AI War with explosions disabled or I lag to death. It wasn't always like this. Lag came after some patch.

I'm not sure what your problem is then. My computer is far weaker than yours and runs it fine except for late game high caps or mid game fallen spire. I keep explosions on. I wonder if that is another pony problem....

Um, hi. I registered just to ask this question, because I couldn't find any place with info about this.

Are the AI War soundtracks included in this bundle the same ones that came in the Indie Royale Arclight Bundle? I noticed that a bunch of them aren't available for sale separately, and am trying to figure out if these were first released in there.

Thanks.

[Tridus]

They're showing on the humble bundle site below the games themselves, yep.

[amethyst]

Also, all soundtracks in this bundle are available as FLAC; I think in the Indie Royale bundle, there were only MP3 files.

[The Hunter]

Got the whole thing because why not.
