Read it and find out about the TAL Universe, the Guild of Chronomacers, the corporate invasion of the Basilica and even have a look at some early but definitely characteristic in-game graphics, all the while peeking behind the Droidscape: Basilica scenes.

Bundle In A Box returns for its fourth installment and is proud to present you with the (most thematic) Cerebral Bundle. A fine assortment of 9 delightful, properly smart and truly indie offerings everyone can enjoy for the most reasonable price of “pay-what-you-want” over HERE.

The bundle, our fourth effort of to promote indie creators and quality games, will last for 14 days and will offer all of its games as DRM-free downloads (but not exclusively so; most games are also available on Desura and/or Steam ). For the first time ever, we will also be supporting Linux alongside Windows and Mac gaming.

Paying anything above $1.99 will get you:

• deep, retro-esque and utterly elegant RPG Phantasmaburbia (Windows/Desura)
• artful, being-stood-up-sim Dinner Date (Windows/Steam)
• undead infested puzzler Vampires! (Windows/Mac)
• illustrated interactive fiction exclusive debut Necrotic Drift Deluxe (Windows /Mac/Linux)
• beautiful puzzler exclusive debut Dédale De Luxe (Windows/Mac/Linux/Desura)

Beating the average price to grab four more cerebral games:

• sci-fi puzzle exploration adventure J.U.L.I.A. (Windows)
• hilarious boring-job-sim I Get This Call Every Day (Windows/Mac/Desura)
• Jane Jensen powered point-and-clicker Cognition, Episode 1: The Hangman (Windows/Mac/Desura)
• just released dystopian adventure Reversion: The Meeting (Windows/Desura)

By grabbing the Cerebral Bundle, you will also be supporting indie creativity via the Indie Dev Grant (for every 100 bundles sold $15 will be added to the grant), and the Hellenic Centre for Mental Health and Treatment of Child and Family. Oh, and you’ll be getting some rather amazing extras too; for every 1000 bundles sold new goodies will be unlocked for everyone who grabbed the Cerebral Bundle. Stuff like this:

• The source code of Necrotic Drift Deluxe.
• The Cognition soundtrack and prequel comic.
• Phantasmaburbia’s Deluxe Digital Box.
• Dédale De Luxe wallpapers and soundtrack.
• Music from Reversion.

As an added bonus, all who purchase the bundle will get access to exclusive content for Droidcape: Basilica; Kyttaro Games’ own upcoming, stop-motion animated, sci-fi, action-puzzle game for iOS and Android. And, yes, Droidscape is really close to release…

As already announced over at the BIAB Blog we have already started accepting submissions for the next Indie Dev Grant; oh, and have also announced the next Bundle In A Box offering. The Cerebral Bundle! Find out more here.

The final in-game graphics are looking spectacular, the stop-motion animated characters are almost finished, we’ve discovered a truly intriguing way to present you with the game’s rich story and setting and are currently busy with tweaking the gameplay and polishing everything up.

Oh, and you can now have a look at the work-in-progress final characters that will be used in the game; we have prepared a lovely facebook gallery for your enjoyment.

You may have noticed it, but we thought we’d officially let you know too and make sure: Droidscape: Basilica hasn’t been released just yet. Now we can also let you in on another little secret. The game is progressing beautifully, the BETA testers are loving it and it will be made available as a universal app for both iPhone and iPad within the next couple of months. The Android version will follow soon after that.

On the graphics front we have finally stopped working with place-holders and in-game iterations of the concept art (have a look at it over at facebook or google +) and are gradually finalizing everything and making sure Droidscape: Basilica looks fabulous. We are pretty confident that our stop-motion animated characters will be among the most beautiful on the App Store.

What you see above are the two first, work-in-progress pictures of the final Bishop 7 model our artist, Hariton Bekiaris, is currently building.  Bishop 7 will be our main playable character and, quite obviously, a droid.

Bundle In A Box: Eclectic Delights has extended its offer of 11 amazing indie games for the most reasonable price of pay-what-you-want for another 3 days, meaning you’ll be able to grab this defiantly indie bundle even moments before the inevitable end.

b)      Pay-what-you-want and grab five excellent indie games DRM-free, but also on Steam and/or Desura.

c)       Beat the average price and grab five more great games while simultaneously pre-ordering mystery adventure Shadows on the Vatican, Act 2; be the first one to play it on the other side.

Better hurry up though… The Mayans may have indeed been wrong and the world might just end on the 20^th.

The Indie Dev Grant, that popular feature of Bundle In A Box we are most proud of, is a grant designed to help indie game developers actually create the games they’ve always wanted to. For every 100 bundles sold, $10 will be added to the grant. One indie developer (be it a group or an individual), voted by the esteemed fans of Bundle in a Box will get the whole amount after the bundle ends.

No strings will be attached by either Bundle in a Box or Kyttaro Games.

The grant can be used in any way the developer that earns it sees fit and will in no way be obliged to co-operate with Kyttaro Games or Bundle in a Box. Developers that have already taken part in one of our bundles or are willing to do so in the future are also eligible for the grant. Actually, absolutely anyone is free to enter; yes, even people trying to buy some time in order to create their next freeware gem.

As gamers will start voting on the developer that will earn the grant from the moment the bundle launches, we do ask those interested in participating to contact us with their entries up to November 27.

To enter e-mail us at info@bundle-in-a-box.com and provide us with the following:

-A title for the project you are going to be using the IDG for.
-One screenshot or piece of concept from your project.
-One link to your project’s or your personal site (if available).
-A description of your project (up to 200 words)
-Something about you or your team (up to 100 words)

Mail us and we’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible.
All Indie Dev Grant entries will be presented on tumblr and on the Bundle In A Box blog.
