Humble Indie Bundle 3 is live!

EDIT : Just noticed that Ico has already started a thread for this. Mods, please lock or remove this thread. My mistake :)


Hi Guys

Humble Indie Bundle is back :)

In case you're not familiar with it, HIB is an initiative where a couple of independent, small time game publishers get together and release their games as a bundle pack.

You as a consumer, get to choose what amount you'd like to pay for it. The best thing, it's not set in fixed amount, but rather, you type in the amount you want to pay. It has to be a minimum of $0.01 though, because it's not free.

They give you a DRM free installer pack that works natively in Windows, Linux or Mac OS and you can install them as many times as you want, and register them under Steam, if you wish to.

The money you send, can be sent to the developer, or a charity or any combination as you choose.

head over to Humble Indie Bundle for more details.

The games on offer this time are:

Crayon Physics Deluxe
Cogs
VVVVVV
Hammerfight
And yet it moves

I agree $5 is the bare minimum.

Only thing I wanted is Crayon Physx, almost forgot about my purchase of the frozenbyte bundle until last week or so when I read someone playing Trine over here. Searched my mails for the link and downloaded trine, liked it but no time to play it.
Liverpool_fan
Jul 27, 2011 at 8:40 PM
^ Activate both in Steam and Desura. ;)
Trine is a good name, not quite Braid or WoG or Machinarium but totally worth it.
And it's recommended to play Trine with a controller, though I've completed it with keyboard + mouse.
JojoTheDragon
Jul 27, 2011 at 8:52 PM
Whats the use of activating it desura ?

I liek cogs and Yet it moves, donno about vvvvvv the previous indie bundle was cooler tho, so imm gonna skip this one
and I liekd trine more than LBP, Machinarium or Braid, but it was a lot shorter, and not only do you need to replay it with a controller (xbox 1 I assume @liverpool_fan), but you need to replay it with multiplayer to truly expirience it

May be one day they will offer Minecraft. That would be the best. ;)

You can expect that by HiB 5-6, because AKAIK Minecraft ain't released yet.

I wonder if HiB3 will have such offers.

This is a time-limited offer. None of the games are bad IMO. So can't let it go.

Blah ! never heared of the game !

Been out of this industry since my desktop went a generation back !

Till when is this open ?
JojoTheDragon
Jul 29, 2011 at 4:19 PM
Well, its natural that you didn't hear about Crayon Physics, not everyone plays Indie games.

HiB is open 11 days from today.

Not my type of games .

Thanks anyways Guys !

Not quite Mincraft in the bundle but still as a bonus...
Humble Bonus: everyone who buys the bundle gets to play Minecraft for free until August 14th!

I would say they are worth in the HIB bundles. As a particular, people would just whine for their crazy price, but now with the "pay what you want" tag, they'll give away whole of their wallets as a mean of "donating".

Humble Bonus: everyone who buys the bundle gets to play Minecraft for free until August 14th!
Never saw that, is it still valid for me, if I bought the bundle before this offer?

Does Google Checkout accept a debit card?

I am not sure whether I should buy the Windows or Linux versions.

Gonna pay $10. :)

The average has now increased to $5.14. Ask them first before making the move.

Exisiting purchasers will get all bundles regardless of what they paid earlier. I wish they really demanded more than $10 though.

My Canara VISA debit card works fine on steam and gamersgate but is not working on any of the payment options in Humblebundle site. With Paypal and Google Checkout, Re 1 is deducted from my account but I can't pay the whole amount.

I have a VISA Debit card (not electron) but even that didn't work. Last time ico gave away his Humble games to me but this time I want to pay for them.

I am ready to transfer money in whoever is willing to gift the Bundle to me. I will pay in advance of course.

Thanks Faun. I just got an email from Humble Bundle. They said that they can't do anything about the Indian Debit cards situation and I should just ask some friend to buy it for me. So how about you gift one to me (pay around 5-7.5$) and I put the money in your account. Just let me know your account details I will transfer today itself.

Liverpool_fan
Aug 9, 2011 at 12:57 PM
Super Meat Boy, Limbo, Trine 2, Overgrowth, etc. Maybe even Amnesia.

Limbo well it has to be ported to Mac OS X and Linux to be bundled in the first place. SMB will have a Linux/OS X port soon anyway.

That would make it the best bundle of all. :)
Liverpool_fan
Aug 9, 2011 at 1:02 PM
I am just assuming on the basis that those game developers had previously bundled their games in the 4 humble bundles till now. And Super Meat boy devs tweeted about the HIB3, so quite positive as well.
But I am completely sure we'll see most of the games as parts of the next few bundles.
Skud
Skud #86
Aug 9, 2011 at 1:05 PM
Let's hope it would be even better. Looks like the indie community has much varied games compared to the AAA titles, where all it changes is the number after the game title. ;)

Aug 9, 2011 at 4:32 PM
I maybe wrong, but I really have seen some of the best artwork in indie games (Like Machinarium, Braid). I just loved those tiny touches to buildings and added stuff like wells, etc which gave Machinarium that wonderful dark setting. Also the Braid soundtrack was amazing! :)
Skud
Skud #88
Aug 9, 2011 at 4:48 PM
I agree. One reason may be they don't have the cutting edge graphics to hide behind. Instead the focus remains more on the story, design, gameplay, audio, physics, characters, interaction etc. Apparently, the quality of the overall game increases.
