Humble Indie Bundle 17 released

Quoting: ziabiceFinally the Humble Indie Bundle goes back to the original spirit, I'll buy it!

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

Their core bundles have always been in the original spirit, all 17 of them.

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

I don’t understand what you mean.

If I say give 1$ to game1 and 2$ to game2 then when game7 is added to the bundle there is no way it’s getting any money from me unless Humble gives less to game1 and game2 without telling me. Do you have evidence that it’s what’s happening?

Also it’s obvious that buying a game supports the developers (or at least the publisher), not sure why you threw that in there.

I never thought about it before, now I do, and I have to ask Humble support, if I get a answer I'll post here.

I would advise against those who want to buy this bundle for the DRM-Free versions. Both Super Time Force Ultra and Nuclear Throne are outdated on GOG so I wouldn't hold my hopes up for Humble Bundle ones.

Sometimes Humble Bundle DRM-Free games are even more outdated than GOG ones, such as Crimsonland. The bundle itself is not bad and if you can tolerate Steam it's all well and good, but it's a risk for DRM-Free gamers.

Hey all,

I did the brand new mac and linux ports for Super TIME Force ULTRA. The drm-free builds up on humble are new and I am updating them with critical fixes along with steam (it is much easier to update humble builds these days). What is up there should be pretty good, but I am working on some compat issues with older hardware as we speak.

Thanks, Aaron! :)

I asked Humble Bundle about that, and here is the answer:

QuoteThanks so much for bearing with us!

It seems that Mid-Promotion games do not receive a cut of the funds for purchases made before the MPA launch. If you want to send them part of the money you will have to wait for the Mid-Promotion to launch.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate in letting us know.

Have a great day, and thank you for choosing Humble Bundle!

Best,

One small note: Regency Solitaire wasn't listed as a game with Linux support, despite having a DRM-Free build. I contacted the developer and now it's correctly featured.

There was a game stopping crash bug on Linux with one of the levels. I reported the problem and the dev should have a fixed build up in the near future. The game itself is good casual fun, for those moments when your brain isn't quite up to another level of Hexcells. ;)

PS: There's no full screen option on Linux, but "BORDERLESS WINDOW=1" in ~/.Grey Alien Games/Regency Solitaire/RegencySolitaire.ini seems to do the trick just fine.
