Humble Bundle "Mojam"

[Solo-Wing]

Here is the pitch. Pay what you want and help Charity to get an exclusive game. The game? Whatever Mojang can whip up in 62 hours. The catch? We get to vote on Genre and Theme for the game before hand.

So for 62 hours we get a continuous feed of the game being made, and you get to buy it and whatever Humble bundle chooses to add on during the feed. At the end you get the game(s) and the charities get the money!

And to answer any other questions here is a video and source.

Thoughts?

Also what did YOU vote for. I went for SteamPunk Dating Sim. Cause that would be awesome.

 

[LookingGlass]

I voted for a Steampunk Dungeon Crawler. The Steampunk part is looking good in the voting, but the dungeon crawler needs some help, with RTS edging it out at this point in time. I think they could make a better dungeon crawler than RTS game in one weekend.

Voted for Steampunk Peter Molyneux because I found the combination amusing. Also, I'm really keen on the steampunk part but I'm not quite sure what genre I want - RTS, dungeon crawler, maybe an FPS and Peter Molyneux all sounded good, but I figured Peter will have significantly less votes (and I was right). As for themes, I'd love to see any of these - Steampunk, Horror, Post Apocalyptic and perhaps even Fantasy. In that order.

Same here. I'd really like to see a Peter Molyneux game by someone other than Peter Molyneux, but unfortunately everyone else seems to have a lot more common sense than us...C'est la vie.

What is it with our culture and steam punk? It's almost as bad as our (well "your") love of anime.

Whatever they make it can't be that good, a game in 62 hours? Impressive feat but balance is going to be a goner, graphics and music are going to be minecraft and the story will be Mario.

Will be interesting though, might just get it to say "I was there" but more for the other games, depending on what they are ... if any.

 

[JesterRaiin]

Post-Apocalyptic Dungeon Crawler would be my choice.

...and the problem is ?

They don't have to make Mass Effect 4 you know... All we really need are fun games open to custom content aka modding.

Did I say there was a problem, it was an observation not a critique.

Again, did I say it was going to be anything like mass effect 4? I am expecting dwarf fortress here. All I am saying is saying steam punk isn't going to mean jack diddley if it looks like the first Mario.

Hey, Minecraft music is great!

If they really wanted to make some cash for charity then that Notch guy could add Minecraft in one indie bundle. But oh no, he would never do that because that would interrupt his steady stream of money flowing into his pockets

And into Psychonauts 2. Just sayin'.

I don't think that' would necessarily be the case. I doubt they wouls start planning everything on Saturday morning (that was when they started, right?), they probably have a few ideas already and just need to put them into a game. There is a limited amount of combinations and some of them are basically the same: a horror, modern and post apocalyptic shooter, for example, could be almost the same game with different textures. Also, since they can see the results of the poll, they can refine the dominant ideas beforehand.

They only thing to worry about, if you ask me, is the balane but there are always patches for that.

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

A voted RTS Post Apocalyptic.

Though I would not mind seeing what a Peter Molyneux FPS looks like. My guess is you shoot Peter Molyneux every time he promises a feature in his games

No, you got that wrong, you must shoot him in order to stop him

In that case I hope there will a cheat for infinite ammo or the game might impossible to complete otherwise

Sorry but nothing about minecraft, except the "build a very basic version of what you like", is great.

Ok, so one person built a working computer or calculator (I can't remember which) in minecraft and oh boy was I impressed! Other than that all the pro's do is build 8/16/32 bit pics or go the whole hog and rebuild something like WOW in ugly mode.

In the end minecraft is move blocks, change blocks into something else to move blocks around, get somewhere new to move blocks or survive to move blocks. What it all loops round to is moving blocks, which is mind numbingly boring.

Fuck knows why so many people watch it, I have unsubbed from so many youtube channels 'cos 90% of the other subs scream for minecraft, which gets loads of views, which means I am stuck watching hundreds of hours of blocks being moved with some boring ass blog over them!

I would rather play this!

(yes, a game where you watch paint dry!)

I think everyone missed the part where they combine BOTH the top AND bottom voted bits of each section.

At this moment, they'd make a Steampunk Beat-Em-Up RTS set in ancient Egypt. I'm OK with this.

Congrats, we have a winner in the category of grumpiness !

 

[Crises^]

I voted for a steam punk racing sim as it would prob be very easy to make and also racing steam punk air ships would be cool in a twisted metal way with canons
