Humble Bundle For Unreleased Game?

Give till it hurts! (Via)
It's that time again! The Humble Bundle is a bundle of indie games that can be brought for a price of your choice. This time the money can be shared between Child's Play, Electronic Frontier, charity: water & The American Red Cross. The incentive? Two games that have yet to be completed that will be created before your eyes. The indie studios Mojang (Minecraft), Oxeye Game Studios, and Wolfire Games are working together to create a game within the timespan of a weekend and they're going to live stream every second of the glory and the drama through twitch.tv on the Humble Bundle site.

Mojang and Wolfire will be tackling a real-time strategy shoot 'em up, with a steampunk, ancient Egypt theme whilst Oxeye Game Studios is crafting a dungeon crawler beat 'em up set in a post-apocalyptic World War II. Sounds interesting to say the least. If you've ever wanted to see what the leadup to a deadline in a video game studio looks like or you just have an interest in how the coding process works, I suggest you take a look. It's interesting stuff and it's for charity!
