[BLOG] Serious Sam Bundle being sold to fund new game development

A new bundle is going up on Humble Bundle soon and it's a little bit different.



Crowdfunding is a very popular way to fund new games now it seems, but recently a number of titles have either not made their targets in time or have been pulled before their end because they hadn't picked up enough momentum to justify carrying on. People are becoming more and more picky about where they place their money for crowdfunding, as there's no guarantee that a funded project will get finished and you'll get the items you backed for.



Croteam though are offering a bundle that will allow them to finance their next game and you'll get what you pay for immediately. Sounds good. The game they're trying to fund is Serious Sam 4 and for that they're offering 6 Serious Sam games - Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter, Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter, Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, Serious Sam Double D,Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack!, and Serious Sam Public Test 2. And there's a chance to grab Serious Sam 3: BFE Deluxe Edition and Serious Sam 2 if you beat the average price paid.

Humble allows you to split your money between a few different places (Humble, the developers, charities etc.) but all the money Croteam receive is going to be put into the development of Serious Sam 4. So they're selling you games, to fund the making of new games.



... Wait, that sounds familiar. Haven't we done this already?
Yes that's Minecraft-me in my av. Done by Reiu who is damn talented!
