Indie Game 'Lugaru' Goes Open Source

[ibuclaw]

In the spirit of the Humble Indie Bundle (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1472944) (which has raised over 1 million). Wolfire have decided to release the source code to Lugaru under the General Public License (GPL).

Aquaria, Gish, and Penumbra are on the way, too.

Just a note: only the code will be open source. Quite logic to me otherwise many people would feel like they have bought it for nothing.

Try not to think of it as a 'sale' think of it as a contribution/donation to the Developers, and to the Charities involved.

Some people purchased Lugaru from its website, before the bundle was around.


However, this is a great thing. Lugaru is a very interesting game in terms of gameplay, and I'm sure some good things can be done with it.
