Title: [Groupees] Bundle pre-orders
Post by: [Lestrades.com] Nao 尚 on June 1st, 2017, 11:33 PM
Thought I'd create this topic to ask if there are any volunteers to post here any time Groupees launches (or gets ready to launch) a pre-order for a new bundle..?
Now that I'm a subscriber for their Be Mine series, I admit I spend a lot less time on their site, and as such I've missed most of their new preorders. (Granted, I didn't find many interesting games in them anyway.)

So... Please share :)
(You don't need to post about bundles after they're out of their preorder period, since they're automatically added to the /bundle/ page here.)

Haven't bought a groupees bundle in ages, unfortunately.
Still waiting for a good bundle to spend my $10 coin on
Title: Re: [Groupees] Bundle pre-orders
Post by: [Lestrades.com] Nao 尚 on June 2nd, 2017, 12:10 AM
Ahah, at least you've only got one to spend... :P
I've got 2 that are over $20...
I'm so sad I missed the Brigador bundle's higher tier with the game... IIRC I could have spent my cheapest coin on that. It's rare that Groupees accepts coins for higher tiers... :-/

Preorders end in ~24h.
Found it by chance. If I didn't go to the site I would have missed it. That's where you come in guys, first one to post preorders will make others happy :)

6 games (3 Steam, 1 Greenlight, 2 DRM-free) + 2 albums.

cyanic said:
2 bundled (of which one was bundled here), two unknown
I think genres are RPG, point and click, and puzzle

JonnyBot said:
pretty sure two Steam games in this are unbundled

I say: RPG, P&C and puzzle are my natural favorites... Dunno why they don't put these (well, maybe not RPGs) into their Casual bundle series! :P

Bought the 6er Bundle yesterday, first decent bundle they've done in a while.
But for me, Groupees are too hit & miss to preorder, so i susually only watch for the bundle reveals, not the preorders.

But could you at least post links to preorders when you find one..? I always miss them, and LT is pretty much my only source for bundle information these days...
I'm really upset that I missed the synthwave bundle, I preordered them all and this time I can't even pay with a coin, so I'd be forced to pay $4... Gee it means I'm gonna have to listen to the samples...

Preorders usually get posted at /r/gamedeals, that's what i use to keep track of bundles
Title: Re: [Groupees] Bundle pre-orders
Post by: [Lestrades.com] Nao 尚 on June 9th, 2017, 11:30 PM
That one's too complex for me. Not the ideal format for bundle announcement I'm say...

Which is why this dedicated topic should be used. :P
Title: Re: [Groupees] Bundle pre-orders
Post by: /u/humpaaa on June 12th, 2017, 06:13 PM
If /r/gamedeals is too much for you, there's one more thing you can do:

https://se.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/search?q=url%3Agroupees.&restrict_sr=on&sort=new&feature=legacy_search

That link only shows Groupees bundles, sorted by "new" (newest bundle at the top).
So you can set it to your favorites and visit it once a day, and only have to look at the most recent topic, to never miss a bundle.
Title: Re: [Groupees] Bundle pre-orders
Post by: [Lestrades.com] Nao 尚 on June 12th, 2017, 06:22 PM
But that still means visiting a site on a daily basis just for preorder info... ^^ I'd rather get that information on a site I visit for more purposes than that, wouldn't you..?

Post by: [Lestrades.com] Nao 尚 on July 12th, 2017, 12:56 AM
There's a new Remute bundle in preorder... Seems nice. Leap of faith? I took it.

(PS: see, it's not hard to post here before preorders are finished... You just need to think of it. I thought of it, so here you go, you can have the bundle for cheap ans subsequently crush any chances I could have to retrade the items I don't want. :P)

$4 for a bundle with only 3 unbundled Steam keys from a low-tier publisher... Meh!!
Only problem is, there are quite a few games I'd like in those I don't have... If those 3 games are those I want, it's worth it. Chances are it won't be those, especially after the hints given, so I'm gonna pass (regretfully)...

6 rebundles out of 7 steam keys, I'll Skipp it, even if it's mostly genres I like (casual, rpg..)
I probably already have them all.
Title: Re: [Groupees] Bundle pre-orders
Post by: [Lestrades.com] Nao 尚 on August 4th, 2017, 11:21 PM
Yep, was a good idea not to preorder ;)
Only unbundled game was "Gelu", which has a whopping 2 wishlisted...
Only decent game in terms of rarity is The Last Dream, which I remember took me a while to get (then again it got rebundled 5 months ago.)
Plancon also has a decent ratio, but it looks like it crashes too often, so I wouldn't bother trying to get it.

Gosh ITAD is slow to update today... No BAB34, no Humble Monthly September... (I really should stop mirroring their bundle list, and start adding the ability to add my own bundles... But then I'd have to add special cases in my scraper to avoid scraping bundles I already entered, grmpf...)

Note, they're offering a bundle with $0.75 tutorial videos for development, mostly web dev. Some of you might be interested. Personally, I think I'm long past the 'advanced' level of web development. :whistle: :angel:

If you mean Graven for the HOG, I have it up for trade. I only play HOGs in Spanish and it's not avail in Spanish so I am passing on it. I'm getting offers like crazy for that and State of Extinction but so far nothing I want.

Thanks, I sent you an offer but you don't have too many things in your wishlist so look around unwished games, I dunno. ;)

I have so many hog to play, every time I start one I think to myself, I should instead play a real non-casual game... but I never do. Ahum.

https://groupees.com/remutebest

Hurry up, bundle's preorder expires in less than two hours.
Although it probably only has one game of note-- Inherit the Earth-- according to my research I did on our wishlist database. I posted the 20-30 most wishlisted games in Remute's bundle collection, and he replied than ITE was in, so I guess the rest isn't... Since it'll be an à la carte bundle (50 cents per game), it's best to wait, I know I will. (If it has Noctropolis I'll gladly fork out 50 cents for it...)

"Vocallective is a record label and developer of voice synthesizers (Vocaloid, Utau, Alter/Ego, etc.). This bundle contains some fan favorites and deep cuts, as well Alter/Ego NATA for the highest contributor. Thank you so much for your support"

Title: Re: [Groupees] Bundle pre-orders
Post by: Drebian on August 29th, 2017, 09:36 PM
Not exactly. Aesthetically it looks like that, and some of the songs on that label sounds like it, too, but it seems to be more like synth-pop that spreads out across a few genres and the hook is that the vocals are digitally generated. Like if the kids from Animal Crossing all got together and started a band. ;)

Retro Music Bundle
https://groupees.com/retromusic

$2.50 pre-order

Looks to be something like a nice synthwave bundle, which I am all about.
7 albums.

The cover art seems to be from this bad boy:
https://maxthor.bandcamp.com/album/another-world

Which has got a great sound so far.

UPDATE: Clarification on the genre from the curator
"Mostly 80's retro, but not all Synthwave. 3 artists that have been in previous bundles. 4 have not."
Title: Re: [Groupees] Bundle pre-orders
Post by: [Lestrades.com] Nao 尚 on September 6th, 2017, 11:45 PM
Thanks! Buying. With some luck, it should be a mix of synthwave and chiptune. I love both, as long as the chiptune isn't 8-bit Gameboy-like crap but rather 16-bit-era inspired. (Yeah, I know-- taking my chances here. But I'm a bit sick of Disasterpeace being considered the king of chiptune when 505 did much better with his Pokey Love and Hymns albums... Anyway.)

It's funny because many people were asking if the Retro bundle was another synthwave bundle. The curator said it was not, only a few synthwave albums and some others, but, um, it's basically just a synthwave bundle. I haven't bought it yet. I do like some of the albums, just not sure if I need to own them. Maybe when the last bonus is revealed.
I don't know, I think I only missed a couple of synthwave bundles, I tend to buy them all but I only listened to one of them (I liked the selection, too), this is simply too great a genre for me to ignore.

Little known french synthwave artist, sounds like a lock to me too.

https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/awitw

I mean, much of the early synthwave wave (perturbator, kaspersky, carpenter brut and a few more...) came from either Nantes (like him) or Paris. That Drive movie had like half of its soundtrack from french artists.

Well, there's at least one commercial j-pop band that's really nice -- Charisma.com. I have a tiny crush on one of its singers, and the music is very honorable for recent j-pop. Could/would/shoulda preordered.

Grmpf... Not only did I miss the $3 preorder for https://groupees.com/nrwultra -- but the $3 tier is mostly rebundles of stuff that was in previous Synthwave bundles.. So it means if I want to hear new stuff I need to spend at least $5 and up to $10...
I'm gonna pass on that. I already have enough albums from all synthwave bundles that I just haven't listened to yet.

Hadn't been on Groupees since my post above... Got lucky I guess ;)
PS: I also recently realized I'd never downloaded a single album from groupees since the second Synthwave (my very first). That's a lot of to-be-downloaded stuff... I sure hope Groupees never pulls an IndieGameStand and allows us to download everything we're missing if they ever decide to call it quits...

Groupees is kind of dead right now. I missed a pre-order for Vocallective and for a big chip tune bundle and there's a big Dynamite comics bundle right now. But aside from that, not much going on.
Title: Re: [Groupees] Bundle pre-orders
Post by: [Lestrades.com] Nao 尚 on December 14th, 2017, 05:54 PM
Coincidentally, I visited Groupees earlier today for the first time since my post above (that is, 3 weeks), and was surprised that it still had a ton of stupid self-teaching video bundles (don't they ever expire??!), a couple of comic bundles, and nothing else... I mean, it's like they were bought by a video publisher, lol, it's even worse than the HB acquisition of IGN to me...[1]
And no new greenlit games either, although I only have a small portion of all of the Greenlight bundles they released. I think I can put those to rest now... It's unlikely we'll get new games now. Heck, I don't know if Groupees is still alive.

(Gosh, maybe I should go & download them all my albums now...)
 1. Seriously, IGN... One game bundle in three weeks?! Might as well call them the "Humble Nearly Monthly"...

Downloaded Synthwave 3 through 10 (I don't have the first one, and the second one I already downloaded but can't remember where), and apart from it taking it ages (really, no "download this whole bundle" links? Torrent not working?!?! Why provide them at all?), and there being a rebundle of "Cadence" in bundle 7 (it was already in bundle 4...), it went relatively smoothly.
For the curious, I downloaded the 320kbps MP3 versions only, and it *still* took 9GB of disk space. Wow...

I have downloaded all the things I really care about (my royalty free music, especially my Future 80s big bundle.) But yeah, good point about Humble Bundle, too. Hope the new year brings good things.

Ahah, don't get me started about HB... Tuesday they didn't have a bundle up at the usual time. So I thought, okay they're really getting away from weekly bundles and focusing on monthly ones now... And then the next day I see they added a new bundle the prior day -- no idea at what time, though, but what matters is that due to the inability to determine the proper bundle arrival time, it's also impossible to manipulate the BTA price & freeze it to something acceptable. Not a biggie in this case because it's a "take it all or leave it all" kind of bundle, but the next bundle might be a problem...

Ahhh, if only we had frigging notifications for them. Like, notifications that don't take hours to get sent.

Bundle may have possibly launched Wednesday morning, which is the earliest I can find about it... (SG)
I couldn't possibly believe™ HB had a last minute issue with one of the bundled games, given they're all from the same publisher and they had 3 weeks to build it.

Holiday Helpings 4

7 Games
9 albums
1 comic.
Title: Re: [Groupees] Bundle pre-orders
Post by: [Lestrades.com] Nao 尚 on December 20th, 2017, 11:55 PM
New preorder: 'Sung' bundle, which contains the whole discography of this synthwave artist, "10 albums" as indicated by Groupees.

HOWEVER, if you look closely at their bandcamp page, it has 11 items (which of them isn't in the bundle?), and these 10 items actually include:
- 6 one-track albums (in the real world we call that a 'single', man!),
- 1 EP (i.e. short album) that takes the above mentioned single tracks and remixes them ("Rework"),
- 1 EP ("Auto Run") that's rebundled from Synthwave Bundle #9,
- 1 EP ("Collider") with new content,
- 1 EP ("Overizer") with new content, and 1 EP with the same Overizer content, but "remastered". (Isn't this reserved to old songs??)

Seriously, that's pretty bad for a $2 preorder. Past Synthwave Bundles have often been less than $2 in preorder, and they always had at least half a dozen "genuine" albums and a few EPs and singles (one of the bundles even had a bonus live streaming of a song.)

What do you think?

Apart from that, the Holiday Helpings bundle is out, and just my luck-- it's way less interesting than last year (where I'd missed the preorder and ended up not taking the bundle.)
Still, the "Momonga" Pinball game looks interesting, so I redeemed that.
"Xmas Shooting" is a must for anime fans who enjoy bullet hell games (I don't), Undertaker's I'll probably redeem, and 'Dead in Bermuda' is high profile but multi-bundled already. I don't know. I'd gladly trade all of those games for just a copy of last year's Bastard Bonds for instance...

I mean, if you like the music it's still not a terrible price, but definitely not on par with previous bundles. I'll pass for now. I might be sorry later but hey it's four days until Christmas.

SAME. I hadn't even revealed them. Oops. I listened to some of the old one in lieu of buying the new one.

Since I previously bought the "Future 80s 3" bundle with usage rights, I tend to just go back and listen to those over again so I can be inspired to make something with them :D So some of my synthwave stuff gets neglected.

Remute Treasure Bundle
https://groupees.com/remute22

5 Games. 1 album. Creepy goblin face cover. $2 pre-order

According to remute "All steam, 4 unbundled, high profile games." Intriguing.

Two of the games have been revealed to be interplay classics "Stonekeep" and "Cyberia."
Title: Re: [Groupees] Bundle pre-orders
Post by: [Lestrades.com] Nao 尚 on January 17th, 2018, 04:13 PM
Remute contains at least Cyberia 1, Project Mercury and Stonekeep. Wanna say 'meh' but I'll probably take it...

Be Mine has at least Starship Titanic, if I understood correctly. Funnily I have the book & the retail game (in French I think..? Not sure), but never played or read it at all. (I basically bought these because of Terry Jones at the time.) It's also a retro game and also a $2 preorder... Confusing!!

PS: also, a $2 preorder or less for most Be Mines means that buying the Anniversary bundle was actually a bad idea for those who follow Groupees regularly... It's cheaper to buy the preorders as they come!

Well they're mostly of interest if you played them at the time or if, like me, you played a bunch of similar games at the time and are a bit of a history buff. ;)

If you are both, then buy the bundle even at full price. I don't think these will get rebundled anytime soon.

And no word about it!
And I only noticed this bundle now!
And I can't use coins anymore!

Conclusion: try to avoid trading for these games with real value... I'm pretty sure many buyers used up their existing $15+ coins which they got for free earlier. It's just that I'm not in the mood to trade these days and I missed out on this. (Well, the Star Trek games were right up my alley... Sacrifice as well but I have many of those on GOG already.)

Writing this post is physically *hurting* me because I'm screwing up my own chances to retrade these games. :P
Then again, it'd be unprofessional of me not to write it, and unkind.

The Interplay bundle at Groupees has quietly started accepting G coins again. They didn't mention it anywhere and I only found out because I was trying to see if the bundle had expired (to update the bundle page here at LT's.)
Since it's one of the rare 'expensive' bundles to accept G coins, that's a good opportunity to get rid of your valuable coins. The $30 tier only cost me $1.4 in the end.

As someone mentioned in the chat, 8 games including the one in the background is likely to be https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/2476/Hidden_Object_6in1_Bundle_VOL_2_Bundle_of_Bundles/

So that means only 2 real new unbundled games... Way too expensive a pre-order then.
Posted: June 9th, 2018, 01:53 PM

And the rebundled items were all here: https://lestrades.com/bundle/5081
Except that was $2 for 10 games. No pre-order then. And more games. And a year earlier.
Uh...

Bundled ended up being slightly better than expected, with 3 unbundled games instead of 2. Too bad for me... Anyway. They'll all be rebundled at some point... And I'm only interested in two of them.
Or if you guys don't want some of them... :P

Now there is a preorder for JY Crow
https://groupees.com/jycrow

7 albums, $2 pre-order
Nice epic, soundtrack-y sort of stuff. Apparently it's brony music which is a new thing I learned about today ;)

Bundle price is actually the same as pre-order price so it's no biggie.
Also, wouldn't recommend buying-- his bandcamp page has twice as many albums and for the same price if you buy them all, from what I understood in the chat room...! Groupees only has a few extra unreleased tracks.

Here is their itch.io game page

"Gigoia Studios creates Fine Art Games, Contemporary Art in Virtual Reality and ambient Soundtracks."

That's weird enough for me to maybe give it a shot.

It's an excellent bundle. I forgot to preorder and it's fine because I have 90% of the games in it and 100% of those I'd have wanted.
I actually paid good money for a few of these games (Noctropolis, Timelapse, etc.)
Get it if you can! Even without preorder it's still at a decent price.

"Epic hint: this bundle contains much more than 10 releases. 9 are new releases that haven't been bundled before. The 10th..."
The first 2 tiers are new releases. The third tier is... a complete past bundle"

I have the first and third bundle of AWITW and they were excellent. Maybe I'll get lucky and the surprise bundle will be 2. ;)

There's also a Herocraft Android Bundle which didn't have any preorders but people might still be interested in it.

Lol I didn't even know AWITW had a bundle 2 & 3 before... ^^ I only have the first one. And I missed this preorder, too. Meh, no time to listen to new stuff anyway... As long as I have all of the mainline Synthwave bundles, I'm good.

Are the Android games any good..? I barely play anything on my phone, except for some match-3 games from time to time. I need casual games where I can take my time...

The Grim Lord's Tower Of Metal Bundle

Crawling out from the confines of his dusty dungeon, The Grim Lord of The Grim Tower website and Arkansas doom act Torii have joined forces with Imperative PR and Groupees to bring you a slew of doom, death, thrash, black metal and then some… and this is only the beginning


I don't like metal at all and probably never will, but good for Groupees stretching out with a different genre.
