Woohoo bundle number 3!

Good job my payday is only about 9 days away now! Although i already own Shadowgrounds it will be a good investment to have a nicer download link for it and to have the other games :D

Colour me excited, who else is in?!

From frozenbyte's blog about Jack Claw:
QuoteThe first updates will be mouse/keyboard support and Mac/Linux ports. Most of which are actually already done but we still need to test them a bit more to make sure we can publish them.

So not long to wait hopefully for that one :D

Also they have already reached over 350k!!

Although I already have some of the games I'll definitely contribute more.

And I've been told by the developers that the "Windows" game in the bundle is being ported to Linux and Mac.

O, and they fixed a lot of bugs in the SG games (which made the game unstable and crashed it very often).

I'll probably get this! 'we we we so excited!' :D
Liam Dawe Apr 12, 2011
Yeah i will probably buy it as well.

Not just to have a better download link for shadowground since i already own it, but it's a good cause.

Can you point us to where the developers said they are porting the game?

Also where is a link to what has changed/been fixed in the HB shadowgrounds?

I love the humble indie bundles. I've been thinking about getting Shadowgrounds, so naturally I had to get this bundle. But, this bundle doesn't have as much variety as previous ones and all the games are from the same developer. Also, I was kind of hoping to get preview/early access builds of Splot, but it sounds like we just get it when it is officially released.

Jack Claw is just an abandoned incomplete prototype for a game that they stopped working on - I suppose if people like it enough, they could extend the code and make it a complete game.

I haven't played any of these yet; looks like they wouldn't be able to run on my netbook, so I'll probably play them when I get home.

*drool*

I missed out on the first bundle, and was going to participate in the second but everyone's credit cards were spent so I ran out of time. So I really hope that they do as they did before and give out the games in the old bundle if you pay more than average again (makes sense actually, as that would probably up the average for each bundle). I already have Osmos of course thanks to Maxim (thank you very much ;)), but I would not mind trying Braid just to see what everyone goes on about (probably the only indie game with more hype surrounding it would be Minecraft).

So, with these download links, do you get to keep the link forever or is it a limited time span? With my internet I would prefer to have them around for a long time. If not I suppose we could download them at either my fathers or my brothers work... damn bandwidth capping! :mad:

It says the download links will stay for "the foreseeable future." I still have access to my download links from the first bundle, so I wouldn't be worried about it too much. Also, they give you the option of using torrents, which last as long as there is at least one person seeding them - potentially a long time.
Liam (at work) Apr 12, 2011
The download links will stay for a long time, they usuall give out torrents, steam and desura access as well - so potentially you can have them forever. If they ever went down no doubt someone would mirror them - i can't ever see them going down though to be honest.
Hamish Apr 12, 2011
Heh, torrents are definitely out if you have bandwidth capping. Still, sounds good. :)
Hamish Apr 12, 2011
Some good news, even if they do not allow access to the previous bundles Braid will be available independently for Linux:
QuoteHey guys, we will have a public release for Linux available probably at some point this year, but we are waiting on something else to happen to make that work well. More news as it happens.

liamdawe :
I've spoken to one of the FrozenByte developers via the chat option in the Bundle and asked him about the bugs as they really made the game almost unplayable.
He said that the ports have been improved (by the same people who made the original ports, now named Alternative games) and that the Windows game will also get a Linux port soon.

And Trine2 will be ported to Linux.

I'll post about it on LGN (we are not dead....yet).
;)
