Like other <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/humble-indie-bundle/">indie game bundles</a>, the Game Dev Bundle from Reddit is available as a "pay-what-you-want" set with some proceeds going to charity.<br /><br />The six-game bundle includes <em><a href="http://www.cardinalquest.com/">Cardinal Quest</a></em>, <em><a href="http://www.bentspoongames.com/gwh/">Girl With the Heart Of</a></em>, <em><a href="http://pitman.ratking.de/">Pitman</a></em>, <em><a href="http://www.playinfluence.com/">Influence</a></em>, <em><a href="http://www.auraluxgame.com/main.html">Auralux</a></em>, and <em><a href="http://www.astroslugs.com/index.php?id=13">Astroslugs</a></em>. Purchasing the bundle enables a direct download of the DRM-free game along with a code for use on PC platform <a href="http://www.desura.com/">Desura</a>. (A Reddit user said the group tried to get Steam keys, but was unsuccessful.)<br /><br />According to the <a href="https://gamedevbundle.com/">bundle's site</a>, 12.5 percent of all revenue will go to the digital rights advocacy group Electronic Frontier Foundation.<br /><br />Purchasing the bundle for $6 and more gives users access to a playable prototype, <em>Astroslugs Adventures, </em>and a full game, <em>The Sun is Deadly</em>, along with soundtracks and art from games available in the bundle (though it's unclear if you'll receive bonus content from all six or eight titles).<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/11/reddit-community-launches-game-dev-bundle/">Reddit community launches Game Dev Bundle</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 11 Jul 2012 22:30:00 EST.
