Raji_Lev, to gaming in Epic is now offering 100% of the revenue to exclusive games for the first 6 months, up from 88%

Yeah, not a developer or otherwise someone who works in the gaming industry at all, but a deal like that would definitely remind me about what mom always said about deals that sound too good to be true.

ryathal, to games in Epic First Run: six-month exclusivity for 100% revenue share for developers

While it requires setting up your on site to take money, Steam has always allowed developers to create keys for free. They can sell or give those away for 100% of the revenue indefinitely.

merthyr1831,

Humble Bundle does pretty much that from what I can tell. Surprised more games don’t come to the humble store

Sharpiemarker, (edited ) to gamedeals in [Epic Games] Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak (100% off / FREE)

Has anyone played this? Is it any good or shovelware?

EDIT

Looks like it’s by Gearbox, so it can’t be all bad.

Published by Gearbox, Developed by Blackbird Interactive.

Sharpiemarker,

Hmm, Blackbird aren’t on my radar. Is that good or bad?

I really like their Hardspace: Shipbreaker. Better hope it’s good because they are creating Homeworld 3.

Landmammals, to games in Introducing the Epic First Run program

Remember when Epic opened and started a huge astroturfing campaign against Valve for taking 30% commission?

Years later the Epic store is still trash without basic features, and now they are pushing for exclusivity.

Great game, and from my knowledge the publisher screwed over the developer so its not like He’s getting less money for it being free on Epic

duplicate?

Doesn’t appear to be, at least from Beehaw’s perspective. It’s possible you saw another post on a separate instance, as it was crossposted to several instances.

sederx,

Oh no I meant the game was already given for free in the past

SomethingBurger,

Yes, from December 2020.

A repeat, but it’s a good game.
Next week’s SpellDrifter looks like it’s not my cup of tea (Steam link).

aaronstc, to gamedeals in [Epic Games] Cave Story+ | Free / 100% Off

If it’s free on Epic, why are you linking to Steam?

123,

Some people prefer to look at the Steam page for reviews, description, etc.

aaronstc,

That makes sense.

TwilightVulpine, to gaming in Caves Story+ free on Epic Games

Amazing game. I'd recommend it for everyone.

bungle_in_the_jungle, to gaming in Caves Story+ free on Epic Games

Calling this the “most well-known indie game of all time” is a hell of a stretch if you ask me.

Yep, I never heard about it before.

artichoke,

Yup, but when the game launcued in 2004 it was true. These days it definitely isn’t the most well known but back in 2004, cave story was considered a huge success for the indie game scene

The original is free and imo is way better.

DoubleCat,

Care to elaborate pls, why is it better?

M500, to PCGaming in [Epic Games] Cave Story+ | Free / 100% Off

This is an amazing game. I played it a bunch. My understanding is that this game was made by since Japanese student by himself.

It was a free game, but they remastered it at least once, but I think they did it twice.

It’s a Metroidvania style game.

It has a near mechanic where you’re weapon gets more powerful the longer you go without getting hit.

It’s pretty easy to power up your gun, so it’s not a huge loss if you do get hit. The music is also pretty decent.

Iunnrais, to games in Cave Story+ free on EGS

I played the crap out of the original release. Does + offer anything more than higher resolution graphics?

MrScottyTay,

I might be wrong but I think it has a different translation script

@LapGoat@pawb.social avatar

it has remastered music aswell iirc

Gullible, to games in Cave Story+ free on EGS

If you haven’t played it, do it. It is to metroidvanias what Mario is to platformers. Ridiculously influential game.

Wow, I remember playing this waaaaaay back in the day on PC. And then I heard it was coming to the 3ds and got it there.
