Jeru Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 It's a big day for OS games: Four indie games that composed most of the Humble Indie Bundle, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, and Penumbra Overture, have gone open source, just like 0 A.D. did last summer. Lugaru has been released under the GPL v2 just like 0 A.D. No word yet about the exact licensing of the rest.Unlike 0 A.D., though, none of these games will be available gratis. Also, at least for Lugaru, only the code is free, but the sound and artwork remains proprietary.A big round of applause from us at Wildfire Games, anyway, for a noble move and a skillful PR campaign to boot. I admit I had not seen this coming and I hope it makes a big splash.What is it with indie games and free/OS software? Your comments are appreciated.(Hat tip: Philip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) Great news post! I think this is the way indie games will head in the future. I think they pulled in over $1,000,000 with this. Edited May 12, 2010 by Mythos_Ruler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
