Indie Royale unveils its first Alpha Bundle Collection photo

I have to say that I'm glad the guys behind both the Humble Bundle and the Indie Royale have started to expand the format of their deals. The Humble Bundle team recently had their Android platform specific deal; now, the Indie Royale team has launched Alpha Collection #1.

What's different here from previous bundles is that all of the games on offer are still in their alpha stage of development and your cash will be helping fund further development. The bundle includes the town builder/RPG Towns, the first-person action game 3709, and the 2D co-op puzzler Wyv and Keep.

With titles like Minecraft and Double Fine's Kickstarter project under way, it's clear that there's more than one way to both sell and buy videogames than just buying a boxed copy in a store. But are you guys interested in purchasing unfinished games? If so, then there's six days left to commit your money towards these projects.

I've been following Towns off and on and it really does seem like a more accessible version of Dwarf Fortress. I'll admit that I haven't heard of the others before, but I'm interested.

Fucking love these bundles. Almost as bad as Steam (as in my backlog just keeps expanding).

I love what these bundles have been doing for the indies and the industry in general, so why not? Tossed 'em some dolleros.

Downloaded this morning, and here are my reviews.
3079 - shit Minecraft clone in SPAAAAACE. seriously, shit.
Towns - no fucking instructions
Wyv Keep - pretty innovate, control one character with wasd and another with arrow pad. Standard push box puzzles though, hope more content is added later.

I'd rather by Wyv and Keep on it's own than give any money to more shitty Minecraft wannabe hacks.

Towns is pretty interesting. Took me a few tries to get my townspeople to stop starving to death all the time. I wish there was a way to build decorative roads and floors that weren't tied to a specific zone, but it is an alpha still. I think my town is to the point now where I can start training soldiers and end up sending them into the dungeons to kill spiders.

@agentarsenic: There's a set of tutorials right on the main menu, so yes, there are instructions.

I don't have time to read instructions. Needs to add a play as you go tutorial.
