Itch.io Bundle for Developer Hardship Fund
Necrosoft Games has organized an Itch.io bundle containing nearly 150 games. All proceeds from this bundle are directed towards a game industry hardship fund. This fund is available to game developers in the US and Canada who are out of work or under-employed.
The fund aims to provide financial assistance for essential needs such as food, healthcare, and rent. The United Videogame Workers, a union under the Communication Workers of America, oversees the administration of this hardship fund. Direct donations to the fund are not currently an option, making the bundle the primary way to contribute.
Featured Games in the Bundle
The $10 bundle includes well-known titles like "Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure" and "A Short Hike." Other games featured are "Drywall Eating Simulator," "A Dream About Parking Lots," and "Holedown."
New Indie Game Releases
Among the new indie game releases is "Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!" developed by Strange Scaffold and published by Frosty Pop and Strange Scaffold. This game is available on Steam (Windows; Steam Deck Verified), Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox on PC for $20, with a 20 percent discount on Steam until August 12.
The game features a delivery driver who accidentally transports a woman, Carissa Ward, to a medieval fantasy world. Carissa, now a warrior, requires the driver's help to return home before starting her new job.
