Apaul27 Posted March 9, 2019 Since I like The "Fresh Game Deals" Thread back from the ZDoom Forums, I decided to do one here. But before any posting "FRESH" deals, you'll need to read the rules in the spoiler below. Spoiler Rules: 1. Games must be "no strings attached." This means no prerequisites or hoops such as like-farming, share-to-download, surveys, etc. 2. No abandonware, warez, grey-market, or anything else that breaks forum rules. 3. No freeware, unless it just recently went free and hasn't been posted before. 4. Stem, GOG, Epic Games Store, Humble Bundle, or developer-dire deals are trusted and preferred. 5. Post the expiration date of the deal, if any. If it's a Steam free weekend, say so. 6. No key giveaways. Make a separate thread for those that. 7. No reposting a game unless it's a fresh deal. 8. Keep chatter / discussion to a minimum, and preferably directly related to the deal. Now we got the rules out of the way, I can show you my example in the spoiler below: (You don't have to put a spoiler.) Spoiler Slime Rancher is free on the Epic Games Store from Mar. 07 to Mar. 21. https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/slime-rancher/home 0 Share this post Link to post

geo Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) There are far too many free games. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free_PC_games There are plenty of game jams with brief, but quality free games. I remember a thread years ago about someone explaining free games are meaningless and there was time where any free game wound get tens of thousands of downloads, but now you can talk about a free game til you're blue in the face and no one will care. Throughout the thread, he sprinkled mentions of his free game and how the thread had more posts than he had downloads. There was also an article from the maker of You Have to Win the Game being free and getting lots of downloads vs Super Win the Game getting very little sales, but that's free vs paid. https://segmentnext.com/2014/11/14/super-win-the-game-complete-total-failure/ Edited March 10, 2019 by geo 4 Share this post Link to post
Grimosaur Posted March 10, 2019 http://zinethgame.tumblr.com/ Classic indie game made by Arcane Kids before they made the fever dream known as Sonic Dreams Collection. Nerdcubed also made a Youtube series of free games years ago. Great source for free stuff, though the series is really old so some games may not be downloadable anymore via the links I'm assuming. 1 Share this post Link to post

HarryGrey Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) The game with the element of gamble from Drakemall.

geo Posted March 15, 2019 Humble has had several free game giveaways from CodeMasters. I wonder what sort of relationship they have.

Cruduxy Pegg Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) On 3/12/2019 at 12:56 AM, Doominator2 said: Dwarf Fortress, now if I could only learn HOW to play Install the newbie pack that comes with a few tilesets so you don't have to look at the ASCII, It comes with mods that add -some- mouse control too. Of course this doesn't solve the biggest problems which are the GIGANTIC user interface and fps dropping to 0 if your world isn't insanely optimized. Of course the game doesn't really have a goal, you just simulate your dwarves and make them do whatever you want, including dying. They are currently working on a premium version for steam that adds an official tileset and soundset : https://store.steampowered.com/app/975370/Dwarf_Fortress/ Maybe this will encourage the devs to fix the user interface or implement work arounds at least. On-Topic : GRID2 is free on humble bundle for a couple of days, direct link in spoiler (I think it needs subbing to their news service, but you can unsub afterward or use a fake email: Spoiler https://www.humblebundle.com/store/grid2-spa-bathurst?hmb_source=humble_home&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_1_layout_index_1_layout_type_twos_tile_index_1 Edit : humble gives 3 steams keys for GRID2, 2 of which are dlc. Of course the keys expire once the giveaway is over so be sure to redeem them before it is too late. (Direct download is possible too if you don't have a steam account) 0 Share this post Link to post

Avoozl Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) People should look into the Morrowind Sounds and Graphics Overhaul mod, also there were some free official plugins/DLC for this game which wasn't included on the GOTY edition. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Plugins They are no longer offered on the official website but this wiki fortunately saved them. 1 Share this post Link to post
