Heh, Average contribution by Windows users: $7.25 Mac: $9.73 Linux: $14.00.
Btw. Some Anonymous paid 1000$(!), I wonder if it's true.

Samorost 2 is awesome. In my opinion best of the bundle at the moment.

I got stuck on the second screen, couldn't figure out how to make the soup or whatever.

They managed to get $1.000.000. I think there was some talk of Penumbra source code getting released if this happens or something; we'll see.

Hope it'll be enough to pay PayPal fees for the $0.01 donors :D

Humble update: open source extension (5/11/10)

The Humble Indie Bundle experiment has been a massive success beyond our craziest expectations. So far, in just over 6 days, 113,197 generous contributors have put down an incredible $1,024,546. Of this, contributors chose to allocate 31.04% to charity: $317,978 for the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Child's Play Charity. I have made a page for the full breakdown including credit card fees in a JSON format here (json).

Now it's our turn to give back. As of 5/11/10, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, and Penumbra Overture pledge to go open source. We are preparing the sources right now and will be releasing them ASAP. We spent last night preparing Lugaru and it is almost available now. The code is still a little rough (no Visual Studio project yet, for instance) but hopefully with the help of the community we can rapidly make it more accessible to everyone.

Note, the games will be "free as in 'free speech', not as in 'free beer'": see each license for the full, finalized details as they come out very hopefully this week -- stay tuned. It is the underlying code that will be made available to everyone.

Feel free to continue donating to charity, to the developers, or any combination thereof below. We will still be distributing humble bundles to anyone who contributes.

That and the people who were even too cheap to pay one cent but still downloaded it off of other people's links.

I'm sure the fans would like a peek at the Penumbra source code.

Well it's hard to say how many people downloaded from someone else links. If The most important thing is that Indie developers are satisfied.

Lugaru is pretty good. Hard as a fuck, too.

Very true. I only mention it because it was on their news/blog page. I don't think it was too bad as they were showing the figures for it from their investigation and most would have probably been kids who couldn't get it anyway.

Lot of money raised for charity and hopefully this will encourage the developers.
