Nope. Xotic is in a different bundle called the Be Mine bundle, and Indie Royale generally doesn't do repeats. http://groupees.com/bemine

Hoard definitely. I'm leaning towards Zeno Clash for the first title. I've heard Lume floated around for the IGF nominated puzzle game, and that makes a lot of sense. Not sure about the two world premieres, those are usually tricky to guess.

If only Quest for Glory could be among them. I miss those games.

I was playing Dustforce for a while, which is completely awesome especially if you like super hard fluid platformers like N+ and Super Meat Boy. So go buy it.

Also working on Unstoppable Gorg and Evochron Mercenary, which are also very cool. It's an indie titles on Steam weekend.

Come on Joystiq. I saw this on Joystiq forever ago. Joystiq is always so late with the news. They should try to be more like Joystiq.

I kid because I love.

@ecbremner

Dwarfs!? is already a game, but this sounds more like a more advanced management style game. That one was more of a puzzle game with a dwarven theme painted on.

Same dev though, so I imagine that there will be a lot of similarity. But think of it like a sequel.

@Redeemer

There are dwarves in Morrowind (and Skyrim to a lesser extent), but they're extinct. You still get to explore awesome dwarven steampunk ruins, and there's a ton of mysterious lore surrounding them. I love archeology so I like how they used dwarves in the Elder Scrolls.

If this turns out as a more user friendly Dwarf Fortress, like the way Dredmor is a more user friendly roguelike, this could be pretty interesting.

I know how engines work. Source is nearly two years older then Unreal 3. Even then, I find Source games are starting to feel dated even with the constant updates. The graphics aren't spectacular anymore (facial expressions aside) and the physics that felt so cool in Half Life 2 feel wonky today.

It was mindblowing when it came out. The incremental updates helped. It's had a good life. But when is the last time you were wowed by the graphics in a Source engine title?

I'd just like to see a real overhaul, not constant 100mb TF2 patches tweaking the lighting. Unreal 3 was not always Unreal 3; there was a 1 and 2 before.

The casting call explicitly said the model was there to fulfil a similar role to the angel in the first game. It was very specific about it.
