The Humble Bundle Mojam 2 [video]
- thekevinjones 14y agoThis is badass. Best of luck to everyone.
- metastew 14y agoI watched parts of the first Mojam, it was educational! No Notch coding this time though?
- skeletonjelly 14y agoDefinitely educational. Sad I missed the start though. I'm hoping somebody caps it for watching later.
- jimminy 14y agoThey are doing it like the last one, it will be preserved at http://www.twitch.tv/mojang/videos?kind=past_broadcasts http://www.twitch.tv/mojang/videos?kind=past_broadcasts. Unfortunately, still likely to have the pauses for thinking and other things.
- devindotcom 14y agoGood chance that one or two of these projects will be given a few continuing updates and evolve into a fairly respectable release - and the others will be fun little concepts, and you'll be supporting good devs. If you're not convinced, go support an indie developer anyway!
- ChrisClark 14y agoEven better, it all goes to charity. I guess that could be bad if you wanted to support the devs, at least with money. :)
- rednukleus 14y agoIt's interesting that they are all programming in Windows, and all using IDEs.
- coderdude 14y agoThe vast majority of games are made in Windows using an IDE. It's completely unremarkable.
- rednukleus 14y agoYou're a friendly one. Edit: Parent comment was a snarky elitist "doesn't everyone know that?" comment, and I'm getting downvotes (on -2 right now). There really is a lot elitist bullshit on this site.
- inafield 14y agoIn order to be more constructive, what would you have thought they would use? Notepad? nano? edit? TextPad?
- rednukleus 14y agoI would not have been surprised if one of them was using Linux, for a start. Particularly given that the Humble Bundles make a big deal about the games being cross platform. I'm not an expert on current gaming development, and it just struck me as interesting. Sorry I spoke.
- mminer 14y agoOne of the developers (Wolfire's David) is building his game using the Unity game engine, which exports to Linux but only runs on OS X and Windows. Other engines / development environments like Unreal and Flash are similarly unavailable on Linux. The same is true of most 3D modelling and image editing packages. The tools simply aren't available to make Linux an attractive game development environment.
- justinsb 14y agoWill the "making of" videos be available to purchasers? That would be an incredible resource for anyone wanting to learn to make games...
