The Humble Indie Bundle

[Acacius Blade]

http://www.wolfire.com/humble

A selection of Indie games worth $80 and you decide how much to pay. You can pay as little as a penny but the good part is there's sliders giving you control over who gets what percentage of your fee. So if you pay $10 you can give half to the developers and half to the charity, Child's Play.

The second bundle is available now - unfortunately the first one is no longer available. The games in the current bundle are Braid, Cortex Command, Machinarium, Osmos and Revenge of the Titans.

As of right now, 11pm 17th December, Braid, Machinarium and Osmos are costing a total of £28.97 - get this deal while you can, save some cash and decide who gets the dough!

[Dasquian Belargic]

This is great. Will definitely be picking it up when I get paid on the 22nd, if it's still live then.

[Acacius Blade]

Unfortunately not. As of right now, 11:25pm Saturday, you have 2 days 21 hours so the deal ends at around 9pm on Tuesday.

Sweet! Got an email today from the Humble Indie Bundle website thanking me for buying Bundle #2 - and to put an exclamation mark on that thank you they gave be bundle #1 for free!

[Peter McCoy]

Ladies and Gentlemen -there's a new bundle up for grabs:

http://www.humblebundle.com/

The games this time are:


Trine
Shadowgrounds
Shadowgrounds: Survivor
Splot (Pre-Order Bonus)
Jack Claw (Prototype Bonus)Just picked up this lot for £6.32 - $10 - with 70% going to the developers and the rest going to the site as a tip, as well as the two charities involved in the scheme - Childs Play and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. I already have Trine on Steam so I can personally vouch for how much fun it is. But Shadowgrounds looks cool - co-op alien shooter a-la Alien Breed. If anybody played Alien Swarm on Steam when it was released from free after completion, you'll get the gist, but this looks much better going by the screenshots.

[Morgan Evanar]

Buy this, Trine is awesome.

[Peter McCoy]

Update: Shadowgrounds is co-op but it does not support LAN or Online play - you have to be on the same computer. What year is this again?

Humble Bundle #3 is available right now (for the next 8 or so days)

[Peter McCoy]

Got it the other day!

I love Crayon Physics Deluxe. I wish I had a touchscreen to play it on but it's still so much fun.

[Dasquian Belargic]

If you pay more than the average price for bundle #3 you get bundle #2 thrown in too!

[Peter McCoy]

That's awesome. I forget what was in Bundle 2.

[Dasquian Belargic]

They're all listed on the humble bundle website! Braid is one of the bundle 2 games :)

[Peter McCoy]

Braid is a charming and evil game! It's brilliant!

I think Machinarium is also in that one - again, such a joy to play.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I love Limbo so far! So simple yet so scary and definitely gets your brain boggling how to solve the puzzles.

[Dasquian Belargic]

The latest bundle made over $2 million! Amazing.

Also, VVVVVV is a motherfucker.

[Peter McCoy]

I like the look of Limbo a lot! That trailer put the shits up me! The way the human-looking enemies have no eyes, or at least no white visible eyes like the player - terrifying!

[Dasquian Belargic]

http://www.humblebundle.com/

Bastion, Amensia, Psychonauts, Limbo and Sword & Sworcery in Humble Bundle V! All awesome awesome games.

[Crusader]

I love Limbo so far! So simple yet so scary and definitely gets your brain boggling how to solve the puzzles.


Martina asked me to never play Limbo when children are around....

[Peter McCoy]

I have 3 out of the 5 games in that bundle but its still worth it for the two I don't have, plus the soundtracks! Bought!

[Dasquian Belargic]

Bastion soundtrack is :love

[Dasquian Belargic]

Humble Bundle 6 is live for the next 14 days: http://www.humblebundle.com/

It includes Torchlight, which is hella fun

[Peter McCoy]

Torchlight and Space Pirates and Zombies alone make this a must buy!

[Dasquian Belargic]

There's a Humble Bundle on right now, which is geared at Android phone users but can also be enjoyed by PC/Mac gamers too.


Pay-what-you-want and dive into the future-retro audiovisual concoction Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP; the creative physics puzzler Crayon Physics Deluxe; the plant-based interstellar RTS Eufloria; the cell-splitting microbial puzzler Splice; and the side-scrolling planetary adventure, Waking Mars. Customers who pay more than the average price will also get the RPG fantasy saga Avadon: The Black Fortress (tablets only); the indie parkour platformer Canabalt; the 3D mechanical puzzle game Cogs; the side-scrolling strategy rumblefest Swords & Soldiers HD; the groundbreaking meditative puzzler Zen Bound 2; and the fantastic mechanical point-and-click adventure Machinarium!

[Dasquian Belargic]

There's a Humble THQ Bundle right now.


The Humble THQ Bundle is here with a colossal onslaught of esteemed titles. Pay $1 or more for Steam keys for Company of Heroes (and its two full-blown expansions Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor), Darksiders, Metro 2033, and Red Faction: Armageddon. And if you pay over the average price you’ll also receive the extraordinary Saints Row: The Third!

Kind of a ridiculous good deal, if only for Saints Row.

[Peter McCoy]

I already have what I want from this, otherwise I'd have jumped at it!

[Dasquian Belargic]

Just 2 days left on the THQ bundle, peeples.

So, not a Humble Indie Bundle, but I wasn't sure where would be a better place to post it... the indie sci-fi strategy/adventure roguelike game FTL is on sale for $5 today (http://www.ftlgame.com/)!

I picked it up for $10 yesterday and it was well worth that. It's a fantastic gameplay concept. Something about directing the battle on both the ship-to-ship level and the crew level is incredibly exciting (intruders on board! Vent the airlocks!), and it's a lot of fun to experiment with different builds depending on what equipment you can scavenge in your travels. You lose often, but you always end up saying, "I bet I can do better next time." This game is way more addictive than I expected.

Double Fines Amnesia Fortnight bundle is currently live


Amnesia Fortnight is the name for Double Fine’s annual prototyping period. They take two weeks off from whatever they’re working on, split the company into small teams, and each team gets two weeks to make a game. They do this to test out new ideas, and to test out new project leaders who feel ready to have a project of their own. Many of the games Double Fine has released in the last few years have come from the Amnesia Fortnight process. As Tim Schafer says, “it’s really a great morale boost for the team, and a highly effective way to develop new game ideas.”

Double Fine wants you to be a part of Amnesia Fortnight! For one week, you voted on different game ideas to decide which ones they'll make into real prototypes. For the following two weeks, Double Fine will be developing these prototypes, all while live streaming their progress. In addition, 2 Player Productions will be filming the process and posting videos daily. That means you get to see all these games come together from scratch in front of your eyes!

Contributing will also get you three awesome prototypes from previous Amnesia Fortnights, available for Windows (DRM-free and on Steam). All three are an amazing glimpse into Double Fine’s creativity and give a sneak peek as to what to expect from this year’s game jam.

When the Fortnight is done, you can download the actual prototypes and play them yourselves. Contribute now, pay what you want, and decide how much money goes to charity. Then you can decide who won the award for best prototype of Amnesia Fortnight.

Two great bundles are available right now.

The main one is the Humble Origin Bundle, offering some cracking games for pennies! You get:



Dead Space
Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box
Crysis 2: maximum Edition
Mirror's Edge
Dead Space 3
Medal of Honour


Beat the average ($4.80 as I type) and get Battlefield 3 and The Sims 3 + Starter Pack

The second bundle currently up for grabs is The Humble Weekly Sale, with a selection of games hand-picked by PewDiePie to raise money for his water charity campaign. The games on offer are:



Botanicula
McPixel
Thomas Was Alone
The Showdown Effect


Beat the average ($2.51 as I type) and get Amnesia: The Dark Descent as well. And all the soundtracks are included as well!

I believe you get Steam keys for the games that are available on Steam, so some of the Origin titles will only be available through Origin.

[Dasquian Belargic]

as much as I don't like Origin, I bought that Bundle because hell that was a good deal

naturally I haven't played any of it yet though ^_^;
