The studio is using both the most popular and least popular choices from each poll, and are currently working on \u201can ancient Egyptian steampunk real-time strategy racing game\u201d, whatever the hell that is is\u00a0 your guess.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch their progress, and afterwards you\u2019ll be able to buy the game in another iteration of a Humble Bundle. Unlike most Humble Bundles however, some of the revenue isn\u2019t going to charity \u2013 ALL of it is. You can divide your donation as you choose between four charities, Child\u2019s Play, The Electronic Frontier Foundation, Charity: Water and The American Red Cross.<\/p>\n<p>Mojang have made a short video explaining the whole thing, check it out, then check out the stream \u2013 not only is it for a good cause, but it lets you see what actual game development really looks like. It\u2019s reality TV at its best, and guaranteed to have no *Snooki.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lY2nffjfRvI\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<object id=\"live_embed_player_flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"allowNetworking\" value=\"all\" \/><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"hostname=www.twitch.tv&amp;channel=mojang&amp;auto_play=false&amp;start_volume=25\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/widgets\/live_embed_player.swf?channel=mojang\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"allownetworking\" value=\"all\" \/><embed id=\"live_embed_player_flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/widgets\/live_embed_player.swf?channel=mojang\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowScriptAccess=\"always\" allowNetworking=\"all\" flashvars=\"hostname=www.twitch.tv&amp;channel=mojang&amp;auto_play=false&amp;start_volume=25\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allownetworking=\"all\" \/><\/object><a class=\"trk\" style=\"padding: 2px 0px 4px; display: block; width: 345px; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: underline; text-align: center;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/mojang#r=-rid-&amp;s=em\">Watch live video from mojang on www.twitch.tv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>*aka Dan Parmenter<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a title=\"PC Gamer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/2012\/02\/17\/mojam-humble-bundle-pay-what-you-want-for-egyptian-steampunk-rts-racing-game\/\" target=\"_blank\">PC Gamer<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And then buy it &#8211; proceeds go to charity<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165,"featured_media":30862,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[21,877,2405,2406,879],"class_list":["post-32619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","tag-headline","tag-humble-bundle","tag-live-stream","tag-mojam-humble-bundle","tag-mojang"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/165"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32619"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32619\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32620,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32619\/revisions\/32620"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
