The latest Humble Indie Bundle just got a whole lot bundlier. The Humble Introversion Bundle now comes with Dungeons of Dredmor for those who pay above the average, as well as six additional indie games.
In 2008, independent developer Introversion announced an Xbox Live Arcade version of its innovative PC strategy action puzzler, Darwinia. Now Darwinia+ is only a few short weeks away.
Introversion’s long struggle with Microsoft’s high standards has finally come to an end, and the XBLA release of Darwinia+ is scheduled for February 10th. 1200 Microsoft points ($15) will buy you a ticket inside the computer home of the Darwinians, who need your help to evolve in order to combat the vicious computer virus infecting their home.
“It’s been a long battle with Microsoft and their particularly high standards; in the end we are really thankful for their advice and help in completing this long and challenging game project. We have come to think of Darwinia+ as the Director’s Cut as it has surpassed our expectations of what we were originally looking to create and now looks and feels smoother than ever.”
It certainly looks like an entirely new game compared to the PC version, which I was tinkering with earlier today. It should be interesting to see how they mapped the game’s controls to the 360 controller.
Check out screens of Darwinia+ below, or visit the game’s official website to see it in motion.
Introversion’s Chris Delay has – in a continuation of the company’s earlier decision to “tell all” about their recent operational dealings – posted an account of the company’s recent woes.
Talented British developers Introversion have announced that, after a previous deal with a publisher fell through, they’re looking for somebody else to publish nuclear war “simulator” Defcon on the Nintendo DS.
Introversion – developers of Defcon and Darwinia – have a treat in store for us. Following “unprecedented approval” from Microsoft, they’ve uploaded a paper trail documenting the journey a game takes from pitch to release.
Introversion, developers behind nuclear war party game Defcon, are no strangers to monkeying around with game code. This, we know. So don’t be surprised to see them working on Defcon for your desktop.
On September 19th players will be able to get their hands on Multiwinia: Survival of the Flattest, the fourth game from Introversion software. If you have ever played Darwinia or Defcon, then you know how great this game could be. Until then we have a new “Capture the Statue” video for you guys.
