Humble Indie Bundle 7!

By -
Well here it is and it's a good one too! Humble Indie Bundle 7 is here!

The only real problem I have with Humble is that still they are rushing things and still putting out games that just aren't polished enough.

Games:
Binding of Isaac + DLC - A really really strange and kind of sickly twisted...shooter? Also it's a flash game.

Legend of Grimrock - An awesome dungeon crawler much like the old Dungeon Master game with beautiful graphics! Worth it for this game alone!

Pay more than the average for LOG

Shank 2 - A sequal to a previously included game, the 2D brawler is back as ex-mob hit man Shank returns to action in Shank 2. With those closest to him under attack, Shank is once again forced to go on the offensive.

Although this isn't technically even indie, it has a big name publisher - EA!

Closure - A dark and mysterious platformer where you need to stay in the light! Very interesting gameplay!

Dungeon Defenders + DLC - Dungeon Defenders is an original hybrid of two hot genres: Tower Defense and cooperative online Action-RPG!

Pay more than the average for this one.

Snapshot - An odd platformer where you take pictures which removes things like boxes to put elsewhere.

Yeah, honestly, with the recent sudden jump in support, it's looking great. Paradox is looking at porting games from their catalogue, icculus has his hands full, flibit has his hands full Rudd works fulltime for Humble, Valve is gearing up for more Source games releases, Many more ports, THQ considering, although now that they filed for bankruptcy this doesn't make much of a difference. Maybe once they sell off enough franchises we'll see whether they still will do something.

I just hope CD Projekt RED looks at porting to Linux, and that Bethesda will consider it as well.

I would appreciate the original Shank being offered as a bonus title since I missed out on HIB4.

EDIT: Also, who wants to place bets on whether Torchlight 2 is going to appear in a future bundle?

I'm willing to bet that the following games will get into future bundles: TL2, FTL, Bit.Trip, next game from Amanita, Trine2 in a year or so. Possibly Little Inferno later down the road.

Games I'd like to see get in: Awesomenauts. I love the game but it's so damn unstable under wine for me that I quite often can't finish a match even. Or they can just do a Linux port, whichever works for them.

had a hard time to get Dungeon Defenders to even start, got a fatal IO server error which got solved by doing a
ln -s /bin/true /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command

but it still is far from perfect, fullscreen no go and a crash here and there is quiet common, so been looking and found this:

Very nasty. I haven't tried it yet, but I know I won't run buggy closed software as root.

I finally tried most games in this bundle, at least the ones I'm more interested in, and it's starting looking good now.

Legend of Grimrock worked great from start, good port and nice game. Shank2 didn't work with the gamepad but it's now fixed in the last update, it's now better than Shank. Closure and Snapshot work smoothly too.

Dungeon Defenders is the problem in this bundle, the introduction and loading is very slow, then the fullscreen problems and crashes in the game. This port needs more work. On the positive side, it started without using any workarounds in the FAQ.

EDIT: Forgot to mention 3D mouse free look doesn't work well in Legend of Grimrock, looking direction jumps randomly and it's almost frozen. Not important but I'd like to see it work.

Hehehe, I'm not a purist. And I think it would be a useful feature instead of having to walk in all directions to find the hidden mechanisms.
