I sort of feel that maybe I should have payed a little less for this one. I misread the page and thought that 30 Flights of Loving was native as well.

Still, Blendo make neat games and it's nice to support them.

Quoting: HamishMade this an Editors Pick since it has certainly made my week, and I think it has quite heavily contributed to Cheeseness' as well. ;)

I was over the moon when I first spotted it, but didn't have time to post it here. It's neat that there are already projects springing up too :D

Thanks for posting this, Hamish. It's so exciting :D

Has it ever been said that a Linux version wouldn't happen? So far as I'm aware, it was always the intention to do a native release someday.

Fantastic :D

What's the best way to get alerts of stuff so that we can get the word out when it's time?

Quoting: liamdaweSo it would be "it's" since i cannot replace with his or her so...i was right?

Err no, the apostrophe in the case of "it's" indicates a contraction of "it is", whilst "its" denotes ownership (which is where Rusty's his/hers thing comes from).

The rule of thumb that I use is that physically missing letters take precedence over ownership ^_^

Quoting: berarmaI agree with most opinions about misuse of the brand. Every time a new bundle is out I go check which features have changed. DRM? Cross-platform? Oh, I can't play this time but I can donate to charity.

This sort of thing worries me. If you want to support charities, but are less interested in the bundle, maybe you'd be best off supporting those charities directly. As with all things, the fewer middle men, the better, and if you're not getting what you want from the bundle itself, then it doesn't make much sense to have it in the equation.

When the first THQ bundle launched, I saw a lot of people accusing those who criticised the promotion of hurting the charities. The notion that Humble Bundle is the only way to support Child's Play and the EFF is beyond silly and perhaps even harmful to those charities.

Quoting: Mike FrettI'm gonna throw this out there, why not a GOOD Linux only Bundle to offset all the anger?

This seems to push gamers on different platforms farther apart rather than bringing them together (which arguably, is one of the most important aspects of previous Humble Bundle promotions).

Beyond that, it would:

• encourage non-Linux gamers to believe that those asking for Linux support would have no right to complain


• create some level of disparity where platform favouritism on Humble's part would be perceived


• encourage fewer developers to release cross-platform games in the hopes of being included in a bundle (look at Tiger Style games - they built a cross platform engine in the hopes of getting Waking Mars into a bundle, and now plan to release everything they do on Linux)

Woo, I've been waiting for this for a while :D

Quoting: SabunQuoteNative apps with smooth performance on iOS, Android, Chrome, PC, Mac, and soon, Linux
From the Moai website. That's kinda risky. Soon for Linux could mean anything. Is there a possible ETA for Linux support? Not dissing, I'm just curious. LOVE2D is also Lua based, so I wonder how different Moai is from LOVE2D. The art definitely looks nice.

The plan is simultaneous release on all platforms, though I'm not aware if their plans to have the beta of Broken Age Windows/Mac only have changed now that Steam is on Linux.

Some of the recent backer-only content included a photo of Broken Age running on all target platforms (since they were all running full screen, I can't say for sure that one was Linux, but it certainly seemed to be what they were saying ^_^ ).

Edit: For anybody hunting for it, it can be found in Greg's Production Update #5 [External Link] post, though the thread is only visible to people who have backed the project.

Neat. I'll have to keep an eye on this one :)
