The Humble Bundle Mojam
Mojang has one weekend to make your game — live! The indie studio Mojang will be livestreaming all the glory and drama of making a brand new game in 60 hours. Based on a poll of more than 100,000 users, Mojang is tackling a real-time strategy shoot 'em up with a steampunk ancient Egypt theme!
Pay-what-you-want for the game any time during the jam. Use the form below to pre-purchase the game and support vital charities.
All proceeds go to charity! You can support up to four vital non-profit organizations: The Child's Play Charity, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the American Red Cross, and — for the first time in a Humble Bundle — charity: water, a non-profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations.
All our beloved games start like this :)
Steampunk is the theme of the gameStarting this Friday, February 17th at 10 CET Mojang will be creating a new game LIVE with all of the money going to charity. With the help of our friends at HumbleBundle.com, we are having a fun game jam weekend! By donating, you will be given the game created in the 60 hours (and maybe some other fun things too).
We’ll also have some fun and silly incentives for reaching certain amounts of money (like Aron FINALLY creating a Twitter account). We’ll also be doing some giveaways and Q&A’s with the Mojangstas.
Make sure to follow @mojangteam and @notch for updates. Also use #Mojam to submit questions!

Thanks to Jack for posting.
I was too tired yesterday to post it and today I had forgotten all about it - like always.PS 2:
That's a fun event, I follow the Mojam makers on Twitter since some time, and to see them in action is quite interesting.

The poor guys are showing first sings of fatigue.
The chair is no longer comfortable, shoulders are aching, the beard is itching...
But they have power drinks, chocolate cakes and apples, and motivating music.

From the MoJam Q&A:
"Could you publish a list of all programs you have used/are using to make this game?"

Sublime Text 2

Unnamed"Does Oxeye or Mojang have plans to incorporate Multiplayer in these games they're developing?"
resba, Pennsylvania Hide response
Share ▼
Both games have multiplayer which will probably only work well enough over LAN. The games may also have split screen.
Unnamed"Will there be a campaign or will it be like Minecraft, with no real story?"
Colin Laws, United States Hide response
Share ▼
There won't be a campaign, but there's a story. There will also be an ending, a win.
Unnamed"Is the camera locked or will you be able to rotate to see the whole world?"
XcaliburMyte Hide response
Share ▼
There is no rotation, there is isometric.
Unnamed"As someone looking to get into the world of game development, can you guys briefly explain the technicals details behind your game? Techniques? Software used? Languages?"
dman99, USA Hide response

Try GameMaker and just DO IT, don't think too much. : )Our game uses DaisyMoon which is our own game engine (same as Cobalt!) which enables us to work pretty fast in it, since we know it inside out. The engine part is written in C++ but all the code that differs from game to game is written in Lua, a scripting language that has faster developer speed than say C++.
Unnamed"Do you guys have a list of the songs you're playing?"

The Wolfire Team seems to construct a train.
Looks also pretty much like steampunk?
No, it's not a train, it's some kind of armoured cruiser for the desert.

Yep! They are 3 teams.
Team Mojang (Minecraft) has got the big money, the big team and the office.
Team Oxeye is working in the office of Mojang.
I'm not sure where Team Wolfire is working.You may follow them from the main page of http://www.humblebundle.com/.
It seems Mojang takes a rest now, at least the cam doesn't follow them now.Posted 3 months ago # -

offlineMemberI bought mine and brought up the average a little. These games aren't really my favorite types and I have no idea if they will be any good, but I like the idea of what they are doing and it is for a good cause. Graylox, thanks for keeping us informed about this.

This event was very thrilling - for little me.
I mostly paid for the "performance" than for the games (Sorry).To see how the Wolfire team built their machines - incredible. LOL
I'm sure, a constructing engineer could build them with these blue prints.
And all the detailed work Aubrey put into the construction... it's a shame, that you hardly see any of the details in the small format of the game.To see how much fun the Oxeye team had with teaching their small pixel guys to fight, to kick... LOL again
Like you Campy, I don't know if I would have bought a dungeon crawler with a WWII theme, but now I can enjoy it.
Sadly I got sever on-off problems, and that made that I couldn't watch as much as I wanted. Nevertheless, I took hundreds of screenshots.
Well the videos are still there to watch - hopefully even when my dsl-connection runs smoothly again.graylox

offlineMemberThey have finally posted the third game, Fist of Resistance. Actually one of the three, The Broadside Express, wasn't finished and the developer says they aren't planning to do any more on it so this is actually the second completed game. From the FoR readme file:
**Story**
You and your team are the last survivors of a genetic experiment conducted by the Nazis to create super-humans capable of immense punching and kicking power. After beating your experiment supervisors you find yourself at the bottom level of a bunker. Your goal is simple. Get to the surface, to freedom, and beat as many Nazis as you can and grab their Nazi gold on your way!
** Controls **
Move around with the arrowkeys.
Press shift to start running
Punch nazis with X
Kick'em with Z
Jump by pressing X and Z at the same time. While flying, press Z to do an air kick and X to punch in the air!
Pick up stuff with X
If the game hangs, press ctrl-r to restart.Also, I found that the Minecraft forums have a section on their game, Catacomb Snatch. It includes a Java version of the game that appears to be an updated and improved version when compared to the Windows version on the Humble Bundle site. It has added instructions, a choice of three difficulty levels, and a choice of levels/locations on which to play (currently 7 different play fields). You can find it here. It appears that this is available for anyone to download for free.
As I sort of expected, I don't know that I got much for my money. At least it was a worthy donation as well. It really shows the power of the internet and known developers like Mojang. They raised almost half a million dollars over the weekend.
