The Humble Indie Pack: pay what you want

Here:
http://www.wolfire.com/humble

Pay what you want for five games that will run on linux, mac, pc - all DRM free.
I played World of Goo in the past and it's amazing.

I always appreciate when developers publish linux games. If you do too, consider buying.

Re: The Humble Indie Pack: pay what you want

I love it when developers do this. I've added some cash to the cause.

I hope that Linux users show their appreciation at least as they did for the similar single offer of "World of Goo". That time the statistics proved that Linux user are less tight-fisted.

Re: The Humble Indie Pack: pay what you want

Oh! DRM-free, cross-platform games! I love things like this. Just added my bit of cash. Too bad that Penumbra won't run on my poor graphics card, and that I've already been enjoying World of Goo for a year. Still, the others look okay, and I love supporting independent game development.

The Linux share is pretty big contra how many users.
Though I have most of the games I paid $20 for a  good course. I did not have Aquaria.

I have just updated Gish in AUR, so it fit the new release.

Re: The Humble Indie Pack: pay what you want

For those interested, Penumbra provides another coupon code during installation that will allow you to purchase the rest of the Penumbra series for $5 during the course of this event. One of my house-mates absolutely raves about the Penumbra series, so I may have to do this as well. tongue

If you breezed though the install text, I believe a text-file should still be in the Penumbra folder with the message and the coupon code.

Awesome. May I ask how much money you guys chose to spend? I think I'll give them about 25-30€ for the bundle...

Nice. But where do they got Aquaria for Linux? The port is in beta-phase (and not yet ready). I'm a little confused here.

Re: The Humble Indie Pack: pay what you want

It does look nice, though I was disappointed to see penumbra doesn't work with my video card. Still the other games in the deal would be worth picking up I think - I wasting too much time yesterday playing with the demo for World of Goo.  I was wondering the same thing as ChemBro about Aquaria.

I've paid $ 25 bucks. I'm not a big gamer, but couldn't let that pass.

Re: The Humble Indie Pack: pay what you want

Does anyone succeed to play Lugaru? It fails with segmentation fault in libGL.so.1. I've searched the web and found that the version 1.0b would solve it, but even with 1.0c it is giving that. My arch is 64 bits.

Re: The Humble Indie Pack: pay what you want

Aquaria (humble bundle version):
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37013
If anyone experience any trouble with it just whistle tongue
Also if anyone wants me to include the non-humble-bundle-version I need the name of the package and its md5sum.

@denisfalqueto
I'm on 64bit, going to give it a spin and sees if I get the same error.

EDIT: Works fine here.

@Artificial Inteligence: is your graphic card an Intel? Mine is and I'm starting to think that it is to blame.

Got this pack last night...I'm surprised by how big the linux share is, hopefully it'll encourage them and other devs to keep making linux games smile

Re: The Humble Indie Pack: pay what you want

Lugaru works fine with Intel (GMA950) on Arch 32 bit, performance seems OK, even on high resolution.

Aquaria is unusable slow already in the menu. I found the following solution in the mailing list (works fine this way):

LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 ./aquaria

Both Gish and World of Goo run perfectly.

Penumbra won't even start with Intel Graphics, at least the Penumbra Collection I purchased when it was on sale last summer doesn't.

Re: The Humble Indie Pack: pay what you want

Aquaria works well here from chrooted 32bit environment, but as usual I had to disable joystick, since my mouse for some reason always is recognized as a joystick and a mouse at the same time.

Gish works well in 64bit, but I can't get it to save previous state. It always starts from scratch, which is annoying. Does anyone know how to fix that?

...

Edit: It looks like Gish doesn't look for any .gish/config.txt. It only works well if all files simply are copied to ~/home and run from its directory.

I think its an official release.
Alec (moderator and I think developer) on the Aquaria forums said on may 1st that Aquaria would be released very soon and in a kind of surprising way. http://www.bit-blot.com/forum/index.php … 2#msg25432
