In a weblog post Wednesday, Mojang noted that they’ll be creating a new game in 60 hours starting Friday, Feb. 17, with the proceeds going tocharity. Even a lot more exciting, the development will be streamed live through the Humble Indie Bundle internet site for all to see. They’re asking for donations, which will benefit a charitable cause as well as net all donators a copy of the game Mojang ends up creating.
They’re looking to get fans to pick the game genre and theme. Genre alternatives up for vote contain Dating Simulator and Peter Molyneux, although the list of themes consists of Candyland and Steampunk. This looks like a ton of fun already.
Mojang is the very celebrated maker of indie smash Minecraft, and the Humble Indie Bundle has been packaging independent video games for Mac, Pc, and Linux every year, with user-defined and donated proceeds becoming split across charities, developers, and themselves.
To stick to a lot more of the action, besides tuning in to the coding jam on Friday, follow @mojangteam, @humble, and @notch on Twitter for reside updates. You can also use the #Mojam Twitter hashtag to submit questions for the team while they code.
