There have been some major updates to The Humble Indie Bundle today. I’ll leave the original post here, and new information will follow down below.

As of this posting there are less than 14 hours left to go get a copy of The Humble Indie Bundle. To be precise, the offer finishes at 6am (AEST) tomorrow morning (being 12 May 2010…. to be precise….). Thanks to those IPX members who contributed and received their bundles of joy, those who haven’t now have until tomorrow morning to contribute to the $850,000+ that has so far been raised for the developers, the EFF, and Child’s Play charity.

Is there a goal to reach? The developers have stated that if the magical $1,000,000 mark is reached, all the games will be made open source, meaning even more platforms can be reached, and more modifcations can be made (can you say, ninja turtles in Lugaru?).

Big thanks to my fellow Linux users, who have reached into their pockets so deeply to represent themselves, contributing an average of over $14 per purchase, desperate that we are for good quality games.

To further sweeten the deal, a new game has been donated to the bundle. Samorost 2 is an adventure/puzzle game with some stunning surrealistic artwork.

One last note: people have been pirating this bundle. If I find that any IPX members have done so, there will be consequences. There is simply no excuse.

As of this morning, the bundle had reached the $1 million mark! Not only does this mean that the games will be made open source, it means they have also extended the offer by another 4 days.

What does open sourcing mean? It means that the underlying source code from which the games are built is now (or shortly) available to download and modify. The game still has to be paid for, but now people are free to port it to a host of other platforms and make improvements. The same kind of thing which has happened to Quake 1/2/3 etc. and allowed games like Padman to be developed.

So, if you haven’t yet, get paying, get playing. If you don’t have access to Paypal, Google Checkout, Amazon.com or a credit/debit card and still want in on this deal, let me know and we can work something out.

Well, I am suprised n0mad hasnt posted this!
(I’m sure he’s gunna say something, its a well know fact he is a “chokito fan!”)

Looks like a campagin to “revive” (n0mad will say it was never dead) the humble chokito. The ads are pretty funny I must say.
there is even a facebook page
SOOOOO WRONG!

Well all I have to say is “Shad says NO NO NO to facebook and twitter” And now im gunna use chokitos ad campage against them

Screw facebook, twitter and Screw norway. Chokito’s may be good but facebook & twitter are Norways crack whores.

but the “chokito says NO NO NO to “just a little bite” ad” – so true
