You can’t swing a dead cat these days without hitting an independent gaming bundle of some kind – hell, even EA has one now. You can, however, swing a dead cat without hitting someone attempting to champion the independent music scene, especially in gaming’s neck of the woods.
The Indie All-Stars Bundle… seeks to correct that by offering a collection of 10 albums for sale under the pay-what-you-want-and-donate-to-charity pricing model used by countless indie gaming bundles.
Pinkerton Road Studios, founded by former Gabriel Knight designer Jane Jensen, has raised more than $300,000 in its Kickstarter campaign, insuring work on its first title, Moebius…, can move forward. Pinkerton Road is also working on a second adventure title this year, but is using the traditional publishing model, Jensen revealed in the above update.
All right, fine – we’re sorry for the pun in the headline. This inaugural developer diary from Sorcery conjurers The Workshop and SCEA covers the game’s extensive Move integration, the design processess involved and the satisfying feeling that comes with creating a tornado made of fire.
Sorcery’s first dev diary gets a Move on originally appeared on Joystiq on Sun, 06 May 2012 10:30:00 EST….

Welcome to another edition of [insert name of recurring weekly feature] here on [insert name of internet website]. Say, did you all happen to [see/hear/watch] [globally/nationally significant popular culture event]? Boy howdy, I sure was [thrilled/angry/bemused] by [outcome/result] of [globally/nationally significant popular culture event].
In addition to bringing Orgarhythm stateside sometime before the end of this calendar year, XSEED has also announced equally nebulous plans to localize Ragnarok Odyssey for North American audiences and their Vitas. This follows the game’s Japanese release last February, though how closely it’ll follow remains to be seen.
Set in the same world as Ragnarok Online, Odyssey… is a Monster Hunter-esque runabout wherein the player’s (fully customizable) character traverses the world, hunting “monsters and giants” as they do so.
Sam and Max may have gone beyond the boundaries of time and space in their latest series of episodic adventures, but does that mean they must also travel beyond the boundaries of your budget?
Nay, says Telltale Games, and to prove it the developer has made the first episode of Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space on iOS totes free…, and discounted the other four episodes to $2.99 a piece.
Update: Chen contacted us to clarify his statements regarding Hunicke and Santiago: “Both Kellee and Robin made huge contributions to our games. My comments about their roles were made to address, particularly, the creative development process of our next game. By no means would I make those statements by themselves, otherwise it would feel like I’m downplaying my partners’ roles.”
Now that Journey… is out and thatgamecompany has been loosed from the bonds of its three game exclusivity deal with Sony, company co-founder Jenova Chen is on the prowl for a new publishing parter.
Not only has an Xbox Marketplace listing for Obsidian’s South Park: The Game turned up with an astoundingly erroneous release date of today, but it’s also revealed what appears to be the game’s actual title: South Park: The Stick of Truth….
None of the other assets in the listing (screenshots, description, etc) are particularly revealing, although the box art and banner do look exceedingly legit.
Move over Theatrhythm, there’s a new absurdly titled and unpronounceable handheld rhythm game in town: Orgarhythm. Developed by Acquire (in association with Neilo) and set to be published in North America by XSEED sometime this year, Orgarhythm… is a hybrid rhythm/strategy game for the Vita.
Acting as the God of Light, players do battle against the diametrically named God of Darkness by commanding armies of elementally-themed soldiers.
Those dusty, old, cobweb-ridden, spider-infested peripheral instruments collecting mold and animal dander in your living room corner may soon see some use, as Zivix and Reverb Publishing’s Jam Live Music Arcade… is now set to pump up your 360/PS3′s jams and/or volume sometime during the week of May 16.
If you made the space-saving decision to rid your apartment of its plastic instruments long ago, you’ll still be able to remix tracks from the likes of Atmosphere and Rise Against with a conventional controller.
