If yesterday's arrival of Humble Bundle V wasn't already awesome enough, today brings with it yet more indie goodness. In a gesture of social (and promotional) goodwill, representatives from each of the teams responsible for the games being sold (at any price you choose!) have taken to Reddit to participate in an "IAmA:" a thread dedicated to answering questions from the perspective of your profession. We're seriously living in the future.
Since its inception, the Humble Bundle has increasingly become the hub for the "who's who" of indie gaming, offering oodles of great games for a set-your-own-price point you just can't resist. And personally, during the release of Humble Bundle IV, I thought it couldn't get any better (I mean, come on, Bit.Trip Runner and Machinarium!?). How foolish of me. How very, very foolish.
The story of Psychonauts is the stuff of video game legend. It's the tale of a game that almost didn't get made — thanks to one publisher dropping out — and managed to failed to sell when it initially launched, despite near-universal critical praise (because its new publisher utterly failed to properly promote). Since then, the game's become a cult classic and fans have been clamoring for a sequel from developer Tim Schafer. Now, after a particularly big week, it looks like Schafer might get to make the sequel with some help from Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson.
