The playable Geneforge 5: Overthrow version 1.0 demo for the Windows operating system.
DIYGamer: Spiderweb Software are notable for two things. Primarily being an incredibly prolific indie RPG studio, churning out a huge number of classic, turn-based roleplaying romps. Secondly, pricing these many games with a dedicated, niche audience in mind. Well, that latter point has changed today, as the five critically acclaimed Geneforge games land on Steam today as a bundle with a shared price-tag of $20, reduced to $16 until the 9th.

But this year, there is much more. We permanently lowered the prices of everything we sell. At least 20% cheaper (in addition to the 10% for the sale). For some products, much more. The most expensive game we sell is now $20, and that is likely to last pretty much forever.
It's a big mental shift for us, and I thought it was worth blogging about. I write about game pricing on this blog a lot, and I'm not ashamed of it. Right now, most of the huge revolutions in the game biz are in the new crazy pricing models, and there are still a lot of questions out there about the most efficient way to make a game make money."
