eight games made with opensource engines. I have Planet Stronghold on this one

Buy it, or if you already have the games, consider spreading the word. Basically, all my games wouldn't exist if wasn't for open source engines like Ren'Py!

I've actually bought all the games (except for NEO Scavenger) in this bundle before either direct or on Steam or GOG. But I'll be sure to spread the word to people I know about it.

I'll spread the word around as well. Hopefully this also brings in more votes for Planet Stronghold on Greenlight.

Yes, I told the Humble guys if they can add a link to Greenlight, but they haven't replied yet. I suppose they must be quite busy now...

Anyway, PS on Greenlight went from 86% to 92% in a few hours, so here's hoping

Yay! I'll eagerly contribute to Ren'Py. And I'm also glad to see Planet Stronghold in a Humble Bundle. Specially in a no-DRM multi-platform one.

Yes basically the only version not available of that game is the iOS, but for obvious reasons

In addition to Planet Stronghold, I can also recommend the excellent Magical Diary. That is my favorite game by Hanako - great characters and wonderful art. Both are games where I can't wait to play sequels.

Personally I liked a lot Defender's Quest, a cool relaxing TD game

Okay, Humble Bundle reminded me why I don't like the platform - calling games Linux compatible is at least a white lie when the software is based on Adobe AIR (unsupported since 2011, the available 2.6 client is a security nightmare). Hence Defender's Quest is not working for me and the other interesting game (Neo Scavengar) was more promising than the actual gameplay.



But anyway, now I own PS' OST in a sensible format

Haha sorry, I wasn't aware of those issues

Luckily Ren'Py offers a pretty good support for Linux!

At least the guys at Defenders Quest website state that it will be the last Adobe Air title:

Our future games will be developed with Haxe/OpenFL so that we can get true native support for Linux without having to mess with this junk.

And they seem to have a pretty thorough http://www.defendersquest.com/1/?page=linux, and in particular linux steam users.



Also they have a linux demo to see if it works and encourage to contact them if any difficulty arises:

We HIGHLY recommend that before purchasing the game, make sure the linux demo works on your system. If it doesn't, send an email to leveluplabs@gmail.com and tell us what's happening. We want to support as many linux distros as possible even though Adobe has made this difficult for us.

Btw, just got the bundle with an extra weight on Ren'Py, Stronghold and Magic Diary.

Lars Doucet is the guy behind DQ and one of the main promoter of the bundle, so I'm sure he takes open source seriously. I know he even dual booted Win with Kubuntu yesterday

delete due to me being a fool

Nope, is NOT the humble guys themselves - is that site of the 7 Entertainment that is scamming indie devs by buying keys in stock and then reselling. Be careful about what you write

I know Humble guys and they definitely wouldn't do any harm to indies. I can't say the same for the 7 Entertainment... I know some friends of mine are thinking about suing them for reselling their games. Besides, what they're doing is just plain illegal (you can't resell the keys!).

From what I understand, I think everyone buying from those "resellers" risks of seeing their account banned from Steam and maybe even getting sued...
