The Not So Humble OHR Bundle!

Yes.... thank you tacobot.
The images were auto aranged by the webpage program I used. They could easily be placed where ever. I'm not sure I agree with the design of lining things up in straight rows but I'm open to whatever.

The pictures will eventually link to a page explaining more about the game and offering pictures and video for each. This hasn't been done because without permission, a game might need to be removed or replaced and I wouldn't want to spend the time making a page for a game that ended up not being in the bundle.

Download links have not been added because I have not received permission for most of the games on the list and therefore wouldn't do that. Nor have mac & linux versions been compiled, which I'd like to offer.

I'm not sure how a donate button would best be used. We don't have a community fund of any sort, nor do we really have anything to do with the money once we get it.


Anyways, I await confirmation from all the developers of the games currently in the bundle.

The OHR is free for anyone to use, unlike some engines, and James Paige has been making a ton of updates to try and make the engine even more customizable for designers. Maybe since it's the "OHR Bundle" you could have donations sent to Hamster Republic to help James and any other developers out as they continue to work on new things?

I know buying a website costs money each year between hosting and the domain name, so any and every contribution can help. Just a suggestion, by all means nobody has to do it.

Check out Red Triangle Games!

OK, good start. I think you may want to avoid Blogger, unless that makes things easier. It doesn't add much to this sort of webpage unless you want comments.

Guess it could do with a very short introduction. Remember when the Indie Bundle was about buying DRM-free portable indie games at any price you wanted? Pointing out the same thing for this bundle, plus being free and made with the OHRRPGCE, would be good. And a footer with more information about who put up the page.

Is it possible to have the detailed information appear on the same page when you click on a game?

@RMZ: I wouldn't know what to actually do with the money. I heard there was some confusion about what to do with the money from that art book and I assume something similar would happen with this money. However, I'd be fine with including a donate button.


@TMC: I used blogger because it's free and has some nice hosting functions. An introduction explain all those things sound great.
Having the game details pop up on the same page is likely very possible. Likely just a mater of finding the right coding.

I'm going to call this thing basically done.

I'll hold off spreading it around, and ask that you do too, until everyone has a chance to ask for any sort of revision they'd like.
IF you want a different picture for your game just send me one.
IF you'd like a bigger better description for this project, write one.
IF you have any other suggestions or whatever please let them be known.

If you want to link to my stuff I'd prefer linking to my own site rather than SS. For Horse Game: http://superwalrusland.com/wiki/index.php?title=Horse_Game

Super Walrus Land: Mouth Words Edition

Ah, of course Woobles.
I apologize for not being more inclusive with your game's many options. All fixed now.

I was hoping that there would be some short info directly on the page for each game to draw the viewer in, rather than having to click on it, sort through typically a long page of information which starts with very boring stuff like a list of changes or which contest it was made for, and scroll down to even see the tiny screenshots. Now, I realise it's a lot of work for you to write tag lines and pick select screen shots for everyone else's games, but I'm assuming that the game authors would do that rather than leaving everything to you.

Hmm, if you want to host all the downloads on SS, then I guess we can ask people to put up downloads for other OSes on their SS game pages.

I still suggest adding info on the page, such as that the games are free and complete amateur/indie games. The footer doesn't link to the OHRRPGCE site. I would suggest tweaking it a bit to something like:


Can we make the giraffe-rilla larger? :)

TMC: Well, clicking the pictures links directly to the game's SS gamelist entry. So that sort of takes care of the game descriptions. (for the most part anyways.) Hwoever, overall I designed the layout to sort of mimick the Humble Bundle look, despite not having the expanding window thing happen with you click a game. So I wouldn't want to clutter the page too much with each game's individual description. You get a picture from the game and a title, you can click on it to learn more. That said, if any of the developers would like their image changed please let me know.

Next, yes if people make different versions of their games, I will gladly link to them. As is the case for Horse Game.

Continuing, following your urging, I went ahead and adding a solid description area for the bundle. If anyone objects to it or simply thinks it could use a little change here or there, let me know.

Finally, I think the 2014 OHR mascot looks fine personally. Plus, if I increase his size any more it would kind of throw off some of the alignment of the page.

My point is that some of these people haven't created very compelling pages for their games here on SS. I was hoping you would imitate HIB's interface with a dropdown pane with more info when you click on a game. Definitely don't put it all on the same page. But I can't blame you for not doing that; I don't have any clue how to do that either. I'd like to hear some input from someone else instead of making all the demands.

I the blurb you wrote at the bottom is overall pretty good. Typo: "to decided".

Yes, I'd like to expand upon these game's overall self marketing. I'll be honest though, I'm not sure how best to do that. I'm not sure which ones need it the most, and of the ones that need it, I'm not sure which developers would want it. I was hoping for a bit more feedback and overall community involvement.

I mean... a lot of these games have reviews. I could link to those instead of the SS description page??

And I was hoping that the people whose games are included would actually be actively participating. That seems not to be the case. Have they even all agreed to be included?

Linking to the reviews is an interesting idea. But I guess that either way you would be linking to the pages on SS (or elsewhere) anyway.

This page might be a better info link for Escape the Wolf, and it also has a link for a Mac OS X bundle of the game http://james.hamsterrepublic.com/?p=192

Alright James, linked your game up. I also included the Mac version you have on there.
