Humble Indie Bundle 17 released

Quoting: ziabiceAm I wrong, or "Super Time Force Ultra" does it's debut on Linux?

You're not wrong:

Quoting: fleskNice to see Super Time Force Ultra on Linux, thanks to Knockout Games. :) And this is the first time The Beginner's Guide has been available DRM free for Linux.

This looks like a good bundle, I shall pick it up once I'm done with work.

Great bundle, I paid above average, exciting to see what more I'll get! Yay for all linux!

Also already picked it up. All tux, take my bucks!
I'm wondering about those games which are added later. Will they get their share from my payment, too? As I could already choose where my money went.

This is a great bundle. I already owned quite a few of them but nonetheless picked it up (the full bundle).

Great job, humblebundle!

You can choose until the last day how to distribute the payment, you can also add more money to what already paid: so it's not done instantly and the percentages will vary.

Quoting: melkemindMy daughter asked me to buy Octodad a while back, and I think she played it once. If you want my extra key, send me your Steam url.

OK, it's gone.

Guys what do you think about The Beginner's Guide? I'm curious about this one, not very much in the other games.
I'll wait to see what more come in "pay more than average" before buy, but probably I'll get this one.

I for one really like it. It's a narrative-focused game. It's weird, it's experimental, it's...meta.

Keep in mind, though, that it's rather short. I took like under 3h, IIRC. Some people even rushed through it in under 2h. And then gloated about how they refunded it...which I find rather shitty, to be honest.

Me, I don't mind the shorter length. Sure, long games are great too, but if the game manages to hit a point well (and make an emotional impact, no less) in a short amount of time, all the power to it. It's kinda like a well-drafted short story: condensed to make a single point. That's an art in and of itself, IMHO.

And just like a good short story, I found it to be a game to think about and engage with through discussions, reviews and analysis way after I finished it.

I also wonder that since forever. Logically since you get to decide who gets what, they shouldn’t get anything.

I don't think it makes any difference. Its just split somehow. If you want to support the game makers, just buy the game.
