Blue Libra and Thunder Fleets released for Linux

Ah, thanks for the link Bumbadar.

Slightly Off Topic: When you redeem a Humble Bundle purchase on Desura, what happens exactly? Does it add the game to your account and does Desura try to download its own copy, or what?

Hmmm... Thunder Fleets looks rather naval novel. Still, any word on when Desura for Linux is finally going to be out of Beta?

Thanks for the clarification Xpander (and Cheesness). It makes a bit more sense now.

Why could they not just get these games into the damn thing in the beginning? Or maybe they could have held out on the last Bundle and had both the games in this one and the last and had one proper Bundle? I really am beginning to wonder...

Considering the last full Bundle made over 2 million, they would not even have lost any money. I really do not understand this.

The Humble Voxatron Bundle

I do not remember every news post on GOL (I do read them though)...

As I said, game itself is probably cool (as voxels are cool), but one alpha does not a bundle make in my opinion...

And this time it is only an Alpha... *whacks head into the wall*

Seriously, the game may be great (I am not sure, had not heard of it), but in my opinion all this is doing is devaluing the Humble Indie Bundle brand. And with this a good reputation is the most important thing you can have.

They should have less Bundles, maybe only two or three a year, and work on making each a quality purchase. This just seems lazy and complacent.

Again, not a dig on the game, just the direction the Bundle's seems to be going

They did something like this last year too I recall. I guess they are predicatable in a good way. :p

Kot-in-Action to make a quake style shooter?

I for one put my vote down for a new Quake and Doom like shooter. :D

Subversion no more?

Hmm... I should really play one of the Introversion games on of these days...

Trine 2 update
20 Oct 2011 at 5:49 pm UTC

We did not get Trine for Linux until over a year after it was released for Windows, and now we are winging that we have to wait a few months for Trine 2? I really do not understand it...
