It's the contents of the boxes that will remain a mystery.

December's game is
Rogue Legacy!!!!!!!!!


Nice you bumped this up since IndieBox also announced they are raising their prices.

Existing members can still lock in a subscription at the old prices until the end of tonight.

I'm on the fence about keeping my subscription this year. On the one hand, I'm glad to be supporting such an awesome project. And the boxes are seriously amazing. But of the 7 games I've released thus far, I've only loved one of them. Generally now I've just been redeeming the Steam key to see if I like the game, and more often than not, I end up adding the physical set to my trade list.

Escape Goat 2 was amazing. And I'm thrilled to have the OOP boxed set.

Forced was... ok. At least I got to play it w/ Ack & Fast which was cool. Sold it.

Mousecraft was also "just ok." I couldn't keep interested enough to beat it though. Sold it.

Luftrausers had a great artstyle, but the controls didn't click with me. I booted it up ONCE.

Brutal Legend, I have no real interest in. I never even opened the box.

Steamworld Dig I couldn't get into. I played it once, for maybe an hour. It felt a bit like Terraria to me? Sold it.

Rogue Legacy, I haven't formed an opinion on yet. It's seems alright.

But yeah basically I feel like the boxes are amazing, but the game selection hasn't done much for me since Escape Goat 2. I think I'd like it more if we got more new releases rather than just deluxe versions of games that have been around for a while.

See your problem is my problem, but I just never actually signed up. I'll be happy to mess with Steamworld Dig when it gets here, especially if you think it feels Terraria like as I put around 30hours on that one to date.

I really like SteamWorld Dig and Rogue Legacy. Those were easily the highlights for me so far. Should be interesting to see what comes this month. I do plan to cancel my subscription - hopefully successfully this time - after the next game comes. Then I'll simply check the site once a month and buy games individually if I so choose.

I did not renew after my 6 month subscription so I guess I am in the same boat as everyone else.

I think the IndieBox team is doing a great job but I had to sit back and say "Ok, do I really need more STUFF?" I'm trying to keep my focus/collecting a little more controlled nowadays.

got it today... the pack-in was the absolute best pack-in they've ever sent out, and with that I've decided to NOT cancel my subscription.

I call dibs for when you decide to sell that one. Hating myself for missing out on one or two of those you had in your trade thread.

sorry man, this one looks like a keeper. I still have Luftausers and a sealed Rogue Legacy I'm thinking of parting with.
