That’s right friends, FrozenByte together with Humble Bundle have decided to do this promotion to show that indie computer games are still very much alive and in the process support charity.
During the next 14 days, anyone will be able to access said pack, choosing the price they decide to pay for it (We remember that its value in stores is about $50), at the moment they have raised more than $370,000 with more than 70,000 purchases. Being the biggest contributors right now Onlive and ExpiredPopsicle with $1500 and $1000 respectively.
The fundraising, which you can distribute however you want, either equally or giving what you want to each organization, will distribute the funds between: Developers, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Child’s Play Charity and the Humble Bundle itself.
On the page humblebundle.com you can choose the price you will pay for the pack that includes: 3 complete games, a reservation for a future game and a prototype. The full games are Trine, ShadowGrounds and Shadowgrounds: Survivor, the pre-order is Splot, a game still in development, and the prototype is Jack Claw, which was a canceled game in development. The pack does not have DRM, that is, you can install it on as many computers as you want and play both online and offline with it. It is also available cross-platform for Windows, Mac and Linux.
At Bocabit, we encourage more companies to carry out similar measures and we especially recommend Trine, which we will talk about soon in this Blog.
