Arx Libertatis 1.0 released!
By , 21 April 2012 at 3:39 pm UTC

I just ran trough the demo, not long enough to introduce me to some of the game dynamics.
I also fear for the length of the game ...
Might need to lookup some video's online and reviews.

Yes you should it really is a time killer though.

In Minecraft 1.3 they plan to add a demo mode so people who haven't purchased can play for a bit from what i read up on their recent test releases.

Quoting: "Kame, post: 4107, member: 102"Can ANYBODY just go around buying random acres of rainforest for $160?
Sometimes in some places. Not sure how the whole things works. What I do know is that, if it has to be bought, then I'd rather it goes to some ecological organisation than a tycoon - though personally I'd prefer it wasn't for sale in the first place. You can read up more on the subject [URL='http://www.worldlandtrust.org/projects/buy-acre']on their website[/URL]. The HiB page states "This is our humble estimate for acres preserved, based on payments that are coming in. It does not account for merchant fees, canceled payments, or other merchant related issues. It takes approximately $160 to preserve one acre."

Quoting: "Alex V.Sharp, post: 4106, member: 136"for every 160$ contributed to the cause they will be able to preserve an acre of rainforests.

Wait. Can ANYBODY just go around buying random acres of rainforest for $160? Because I would definitely buy some rain forest if offered.

On topic: Was never much into Adventure game but Machinarium was pretty good, so I'll probably pick this up.

The most important thing to mention about this one is that they're supporting [URL='http://www.worldlandtrust.org']The World Land Trust[/URL] organisation.
Basically they said that for every 160$ contributed to the cause they will be able to preserve an acre of rainforests.

So not as interested in this one for the games, but I am into the whole ecology thing. :D

Mostly just old games that were included before, as well as a film. Not the most impressive bundle ever done.

Can't they try and get new developers?

The new game from Amanita Design is named Botanicula not Botanical and please write all of the first letters big: Humble Indie Bundle (it looks better this way).

Hmmm some interesting games....that don't tickle my fancy, first one I won't be buying!

Be nice to see them pop up on Desura after this which is what usually happens.

Posted on the Trine 2 Desura profile:
QuoteHi guys, Joel from Frozenbyte here, sorry for the little delay. A few answers to popular questions:

1) Yes we will have Desura keys in our own store (soonish)

2) There will be a Linux demo but not sure on the timeframe (probably around the same time as we go from 'beta' to proper release, so in a few weeks/ a couple of months)

3) There will be a Windows standalone demo too, probably around the same time as our DRM free (i.e. non-Steam) release which will then be included here on Desura as well

4) There may be an x64 Linux version in the future, one of the main things holding this back is the fact that some of the middleware we use does not have x64 available, so our hands are a little bit tied with that. We may find a way to go around this though, but I can't make any promises at the moment.

opossums, please get in touch and we can sort that out - Frozenbyte.com

I hope this helps, and thanks a lot for supporting us. :)

Best,
Joel

It makes me think of Geometry Wars (Grid wars actually, with the warping of the lines) + FLOW

Kickstart all of the games!
By MaximB, 18 April 2012 at 5:26 am UTC

Yeah I've donated to both, but the banner saga already exceeded their goal by more then 500%, so they have no money issues.
Nekro on the other hand needs our support more than most.

I need to hop on that server sometime, it's been too long since I've played some proper Minecraft.

Cheese talks - Humble Bundle
By Cheeseness, 15 April 2012 at 11:36 pm UTC

Quoting: "Hamish, post: 4064, member: 6"Actually, it is me who had posted about that.

Oops, sorry. I didn't scroll up fair enough >_<

Hmm, OK, so the complaints are about not being included in a bundle rather than feeling that they had been taken advantage of regarding their cut.

I imagine that the Humble Bundle guys are inundated with game requests and have a schedule lined up that would make it difficult for any developers to feel like they'd gotten a timely response. Is criticising the Humble Bundle guys for not including a game a legitimate criticism? Not making excuses for them, but I feel like we'd need to know what other titles Basilisk were up against before being able to make an assertion regarding whether or not it's fair that a game wasn't included.
