Indie game developers on Itch are once again offering up their games in a massive bundle benefitting humanitarian aid. The Indie Bundle for Palestinian Aid is offering up over 1,000 games for $5, with all profit benefitting the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. The bundle has so far raised $45,000 of its $500,000 goal for the week it will be available.
Easter has come and gone now, and here in the RPS treehouse we lounge with bellies full of chocolate chatting about our favourite little surprises in games. Alice O has already asked you, dear reader, what's your favourite video game Easter egg? It appears some game developers have been pondering a similar question on Twitter, and revealing the best Easter eggs they've hidden in their games - from hiding games within games, to live coding an RPG to rewriting an RPG's script live to mess with streamers.
Remember Minit? The 2018 indie darling that's a "peculiar little adventure played 60 seconds at a time"? Well, its publisher Devolver Digital is now launching a brand-new game that takes the Minit formula but puts a neat new spin on it, by turning it into a fast-paced racing game. And, all proceeds from the title's sales will go directly to some very worthy charities.
Launching this very day, Minit Fun Racer is "a peculiar little racing game where every second counts," as Devolver explains in a press release. The new PC game's a collaboration between Kitty Calis, Jan Willem Nijman, Jukio Kallio, and Dominik Johann - Minit's creators, as you might well recall.
The premise is simple but sounds like a lot of big fun: "Hop on your scooter into the twisting traffic of the bustling city and the debris-covered sands of the barren desert just in time to watch the sunset. Befriend your local shopkeeper, chase coins, hit big jumps, and accomplish fun goals along each lap until you've seen it all!"
