New Humble Indie bundle.

[Solo-Wing]

This is the Humble Voxatron Bundle.
This is the first time they have ever done a game that is still in Alpha. So that means no Steam, Desura, or Onlive codes yet. How ever it is Compatible on Windows, mac, And Linux like normal.

Thoughts on this?

Is this like a monthly thing now? Humble Bumble must be very successful if they keep doing it...

Thanks for letting my know. Just bought it.

I do like supporting them, but this game isn't calling me. I will keep an eye on it to see if they add more games. Should they put on a game that I even have a passing interest in I will as usual give them my money.

Wicked, thanks for the headsup, but it's not really a bundle is it? Ah well, bought it, been watching Voxatron for some time, voxels make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I thought it was actually a new bundle, but it's just one game AND no STEAM code, so, for the first time, I'll be passing up a Humble Indie Bundle.

Well this is disappointing. Look Bundle guys, I don't mind waiting a few extra weeks for you to put together an actual bundle. Last time was bad enough, when most of the bundle was actually a previous bundle, but this is beyond a joke.

I'll keep an eye on this, but if it remains as one game I won't bother.

I have no interest in the game, but here's a dollar anyway. I look forward to the next bundle.

EDIT: Shit, I hit the wrong amount to donate to Childs Play, gunna buy ti again...anyone not have the means to get this? I'll gift it to you.

Could I have it? My friend wants it, and I ran out of money on Paypal.

OT: Good game, played a bit of it.

Pretty fun game from what I've played of it so far.

 

[LookingGlass]

Hopefully they add another game or two to it before it's over. Or add some of the old bundled games

One game that isn't finished it... not quite doing it for me.

I bought the game a few hours ago when I received the email. It's pretty fun but I still have to get used to even playing on the PC.

I hope they add a few more games to this, but if they don't, it's fine with me. It's pay what I want, so..

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

Game looks kind of meh, but I'll get the bundle if they add anything else to it. They usually add another game or 2 as time goes on.

I don't mind donating to charity, and have purchused pretty much every Humble Bundle so far, but I have to admit this is pushing it.

Rather than indie developers donating their games to collect money for charity, this seems a lot like someone developing a game trying to make money off of it before it's even done, it's not a bundle, it's one unfinished game. Even if most of the money goes to the charities even if you figure it makes like 25 cents off each sale that's a lot of cash given that he's got like 38000 purchuses already and is apparently in this one alone.

Sorry if this offends, but I call it as I see it, and really this makes me think less of them. This one doesn't seem to be about charity.

That said, since this works, maybe I should start a similar institution. I will offer to write pornographic fiction here on Da Internet, in exchange for money. If people send me money I'll give half of what I make for charity, and for every $10,000 I'll actually write something.... With 38,000 purchuses/donations of a game this guy might some day actually finish making, there must be someone out there willing to donate to "Theru's Online Porno For Charity" foundation.....

On a more serious note, I'm also wondering if this is for real, the guys at HumbleIndieBundle seem to have it pretty well together. Since this just went up today, I'm wondering if maybe they got hacked or something? I mean this does sound like exactly the opposite kind of thing that they are supposed to be all about.

Hooray, they added two other games - Blocks that Matter and The Binding of Isaac.

Now the bundle is worth it, those are both good games.
