Only one game this time but this is the theme:

RTS Shoot 'em Up in a Steampunk Ancient Egypt theme

Game is about to start to be coded live on a stream now.

Pay whatever you want and you get the game. Yes you can be a total ass and donate one penny and get it. This is not a steam code and the game will be ready to play in ~60 hours.

If a million is raised, Notch shaves his beard (and does not go on vacation for 2 WHOLE WEEKS [j/k he is going on vacation for 2 months to grow it all back])

All money goes to either the EFF, Child's Play, charity:water, or the bloodsuckers that are the American Red Cross.

This thread will turn into the game thread when it is done and we got a title.

INFO START:
Mojang's game: Catacomb Snatch
Oxeye Game's game: Unknown
Wolfire's game: The Broadside Express


WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE FINAL GAMES:
Catacomb Snatch is prone to crashing and the multiplayer may or may not work! We do not know of updates but there will most likely be updates to this game. The point of the game is not completely clear besides fucking kill anything that moves.



DO NOT COME IN HERE BEGGING FOR SOMEONE TO BUY YOU THE BUNDLE! BUY IT YOURSELF!

I don't know how you could really make an RTS Shoot 'em Up. I look forward to seeing what comes out of this.

You seem to have missed the "I am unable to add emphasis on how stupid that was" so I had to type it in the form of a question.

what the fuck?

[nmagain]

i like how 1000 people already bought the game and it's not even in planning stage yet.

[mastermaul]

Where is that revealed as the theme?

Edited:

Oh, I had something disabled in noscript.

Well fuck if World War II had been last this would be worth something but i'm not expecting much with that theme.

[jordguitar]

They are still having alot of stream troubles. I think the first hour will be just fucking with the stream.

Or maybe, like me, they want to support charity.

[jordguitar]

They are in the meeting room and planing this train wreck out

[Zar]

Im staring at his glorious beard.

[Jacko245]

I sense this is going to be a fucking disaster.

[jordguitar]

they are streaming OVER WIFI

god help us

[DasMatze]

I wonder if Notch will be the top contributor again.

Edit: I missed that all the cash is going to charity, so it's actually possible that he pays more than anyone else. Joke ruined.

[Beacon]

stream is fucking terrible

[VistaPOWA]

Do they really have to stream as they eat pizza?

[Beacon]

CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP

[capgun]

I find it hilarious that they're streaming them eating pizza.

Also, I didn't think they regularly spoke english around the office, I wonder if they're just doing it for the stream.

[mr apple]

Im guessing it's gonna be pixel art, because they have no real artists are mojang

they apparently started speaking english after minecraftchick moved over to sweden and started working at the office.

I'd read a bit of that in her blog, but thought the majority remained swedish.

Then again, once the food came out they all switched again.

[VistaPOWA]

Who the hell is "minecraftchick"? Is she that annoying idiot who was the compere of MineCon?

[Beacon]

i couldn't watch them eat any longer

It looks like he has grey hair. They tried to block him out but that did not work too well.

[Khyour]

bought it

It's because junkboy doesn't really want anyone to know who he is for some reason.

Edited:

Also sigh, it looks like it's gonna be in java again.

[wulfe8857]

Even if it will be a train wreck, I'm still going to buy this because of the charities.

[Crimor]

Haha, they're deleting any messages in chat that contains smilies

[jordguitar]

Scrolls is looking good from what I can see on the stream.

[SEKCobra]

The stream is being operated by a 5 year old without a tripod and his grannys cam...

[Crimor]

Who in their right mind would have orange fucking glasses.

[markg06]

I wonder why they don't have those drawing tablets with a screen on.

[Swebonny]

Wow Swedish.

The ones without screens on feels better for most people when they've gotten used to it, and it allows for a larger drawing space for like a third of the price.

If it isn't a disaster though, it could be a glorious mix of RTS and shoot 'em up.

[Crimor]

As someone pointed out in the chat, it's gonna be a turn based strategy instead of real time strategy, at least looking at how the code mentions turn synchronization in multiplayer.

[MisterSjeiks]

Oh woah I caught one of them watching porn.
