Humble Indie Bundle
Ends in 3 hours(Updated May 11th)
Some of you have already checked this out, but I don't think it's mentioned anywhere on this forum.
The Independent game developer "Wolfire" has teamed up with 4 other indie devs to bring you 5 indie games (Including the excellent "World of Goo") at the price of "Whatever you want".
You should check this out, I've played some of these games and they are amazing, World of Goo alone is worth far more than a dollar. You just have to pay anything more than 0.00 USD. Link : http://www.wolfire.com/humble
This is a brilliant idea and I encourage eveyone to take a look...
The Games Included:
-World Of Goo
-Aquaria
-Gish
-Lugaru HD
-Penumbra Overture
-Samarost 2 (Added May 9th)
The money goes to: (you decide how they're split)
-The developers of the games
-Charity(EFF/Child's Play)
Interesting Info
-All games are cross-platform(PC, Mac & Linux)
-All the downloaded games are completely DRM free
-By now they've raised over 930 000 USD
-The average Linux User pays 2 times what the average windows user does
-The highest donation/purchase is now 1000USD!
-IGN gave World of Goo a 9.5 on the wii and 9.0 on the PC
-If they make over 1 000 000, they will release the source for Lugaru(3D third person ninja rabbit fighting game)

Re: Humble Indie Bundle
Just got this in email.
I have a small announcement you might be interested in. This morning, I was talking to fellow indie studio Amanita Design. They wanted to donate to the Humble Indie Bundle too -- but in a unique way. They decided to donate their award-winning, cross-platform game, Samorost 2, to the bundle! It is really a great game, and I encourage you to go download it on your updated Humble Bundle key page.

Re: Humble Indie Bundle
Cmon everyone, 4 hours left. If you haven't bought it yet, do it now! Wolfire games will open source Lugaru if they reach 1 000 000 USD, and they are at 934 000 now!
And for the giveaway codes, I have to check with some of my friends first, I have few left :P I'll get back to you ok? (If you have a amazon or paypal account, you could just buy it for 0.x dollars, you know?)

Re: Humble Indie Bundle
They are now open-sourcing the games(or some of them) and extending the offer for 1 more week. Some of you might be interested to look at the source for some of these 3D/2D cross-platform games...

Re: Humble Indie Bundle
I got World of Goo and Pneumbra (spelling?).
World of Goo is pretty neat, I like it. I still haven't tried Pneumbra (spelling?). It looks scary :X
