Since that Wrascally Wabbit revived his Tower Defense thread, thought I would help him with some updated info about Immortal Defense. Plus give you some info on a new game being developed. http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4006

FYI, Immortal Defense http://studioeres.com/immortal/immortaldefense Notice the new link. is currently on a experimental "name your price" model, with a minimum price of $1.75 to cover bandwidth and other fees. The game was $22.95 on release.

* 150 stages, with level editor
* See how the story ends
* More advanced enemies and bosses
* No DRM
* Supporting small developers directly

Loved the game and this review. "Immortal Defense is only a game, but it touches many quite serious subjects - like protecting the family, barrier between gratitude and worship, limits of responsibility, loneliness, memory and love. Actually the game seems like a stylish metaphor of human life, gameplay aside." - Thomas Grochowiak, independent game developer, designer at Codeminion

Sometime last year Paul offered Immortal Defense as a "pay what you want" plus an opportunity to be a Beta tester for his newest game Saturated Dreamers. I got both games for 20.00.

You will find Paul Eres makes "different" games. If you got questions or find bugs he is prompt with an answer or a fix.

"Saturated Dreamers is an exploration game set on a sentient alien lake. In it, you guide a ship and explore the lake, its creatures, and your own characters through your ship's strange abilities, which you gradually find and expand as you explore the world of the lake.

Saturated Dreamers is an experiment: it has action without harm, a shooter without explosions, bosses which become friendly once defeated. The story and game progress proceed non-linearly, you can explore things in your own personal order. The goal is not to defeat every enemy in your path, but to find ways to bypass them without harming them, or even to find ways to connect to them."

When this comes out(Sometime early 2011)..GET this beautiful environmental game. No timer, just cruise around, make friends and explore.

His own page right now is being revamped so it is blank at the moment. http://studioeres.com/saturated/

Thanks delenn13. I have seen this around before, but your message finally caused me to get around to checking it out. I found it to be quite good and I enjoy TD games. So I think I am going to have to go dig out my credit card.

It did have a couple of annoying flaws that will cause me to knock a little off what I pay and certainly would make it hard to justify $22.95. Others might want to be aware of these issues. First, the volume can only be turned on or off. The music and effects are great, but it is bothersome to have to adjust my speakers because the volume is too loud. Also, you cannot select the installation directory. It automatically installed to my Programs folder on my C drive when I like to install games to the Games folder on my D drive (my C drive is an SSD). These aren't deal breakers, but they certainly are flaws. I checked the forums to see if I was missing something. There were responses saying he was aware of both these issues and had them on his list to fix in future releases.

BTW, I tried it in both Win7(x32) and Win7(x64) and both worked fine.

Glad you are enjoying the game, Campy. I am not good at TD games..but I like this one. Plus I am learning how to work it.

Thanks for the info about Win7(x64) because in the next month we will be taking the plunge. I am thinking about running XP on another HDD just because some of my games probably won't work.

I could have sworn I'd replied to this thread a few days ago. hmmmm???? I purchased this one ages ago after we got it via the game giveaway a couple of years ago.

I got an email from the developer the other day about his latest project. I can't remember whether I paid any money towards it though. lol.

Update: I bought this and have communicated with the developer, Paul. His customer service is great. He told me that I could just move the install folder to a different location. That worked great, but of course I also had to modify the shortcut to find the correct location. He also suggested that I use the volume adjustment in the taskbar as an alternative to having to access my speaker volume control. That is more convenient for me, but it means I still have to remember to change it back when I finish playing.

Paul said that he is currently busy working on his new game, but he did intend to fix these issues when he finishes that.

delenn13, I have had great luck with running games using Windows 7. Sometimes I do have to use compatibility mode and of course really old games require DosBox. So far I haven't tried anything that I thought would have worked with XP that I couldn't get to run with Win7.

Same here Campy. so far none of the games I've played ( too many to mention) have worked fine on win 7. I was really worried that a lot of my older games wouldn't work on Win 7, but so far I've not had one game that's refused to work. :)

Thanks for the info in regard to Win7 and games, Campy and WR.

Yes, Paul's customer service is one of the best. He answers right away.

Wrascally Wabbit if you got an email from Paul, it was probably about his latest beta release of Saturated Dreamers. When I saw pics of this, I thought of your daughter.

Great game! I have an enormous backlog of games including new AAA games and old classics, but have been playing this as much as anything. I am a bit of a sucker for tower defense games. System requirements for this are quite low, but it does require at least 1024x768 screen resolution.

You'll probably love the game you get with the second humble bundle then. Revenge of the titans is a really good tower defence game. It has elements that i've not seen before. The graphics are retro and the campaign mode isn't completed yet, but it's a great play nonetheless. :)

The leading contributor so far is currently Markus "notch" Persson, creator of Minecraft, who purchased the bundle for $2,000. Though he can afford it as he's already a millionaire from selling the alpha version of the game (I bought two copies, one for me and one for mty son, whose not stopped playing it since we discovered it a few months ago)

Minecraft is another one of my recent favorites. I am giving it a rest right now until it goes Beta on Monday. Then I am sure I will be playing it again. Anyone interested in Minecraft who hasn't bought it yet should seriously consider getting it before Monday. The price is going up when it enters beta and the price will increases by 50%. Also, with the change to beta he is also changing the license code to no longer promise all future versions for free. If you bought it before beta, the promise still stands.

WR, we will see about Revenge of the Titans. I got the bundle, but haven't tried it yet.
