Pretty much, but with more time (2 weeks instead of 1 weekend) and freakin' Tim Schafer =)
I was rather disappointed at the outcome of Mojang, but I'm looking forward to this.

it's not exactly the same. in mojang bundle the result software was mostly multiplatform as always in hib; here it looks like it is a windows only effort, which is a -9999 for me.

If I read that right, we get Costume Quest on Steam too? (It's marked Prototype, but it mentioned finished Prototypes get Steam keys) Worth it just for that if nothing else!

Pity, thanks for the clarity. Will still contribute when I get home

i guess that's a snapshot from your steam library. what i don't understand is how they got some prototypes into steam; i thought the process of accepting games was not a joke, i.e. greenlight. maybe the prototype has a treatment similar to a demo...

It sounded to me like if they actually finish the games (similar to how Costume Quest from 2009 became a game), we'd get the Steam key for that with the bundle too. I could be wrong, though.

I love both Double Fine and the Humble Bundle, but something about this seems a little... I dunno, sketchy maybe? Unless I'm misunderstanding something, you don't get the finished games, just the prototypes they build over the next couple weeks. So this is basically an opportunity to pay them for the privilege of doing their market research for them, and in exchange we get back some very rough demos?
I mean, there's a charity element to it which is cool and all, but I don't feel the need to contribute to Double Fine in all this.

but I don't feel the need to contribute to Double Fine in all this.
Understandable, but fortunately, there is an easy solution: Slide the 'Double Fine' slider all the way to the left and just give all of your contribution to charity and/or Humble.

Voted for Autonomous, Milgrim and Spacebase DF-9 in this order. The idea behind some of those games is really good.

Well, considering the amount of votes for each of thsoe 3, I'm guessing we have many,many other brothers and sisters ou there :p

I've voted for The White Birch, my personal favourite, and for Autonomous, which looks interesting :)

I would support this if it included an actual game :/
I have such a backlog, I just can't see myself ever playing rough prototypes of games. Maybe if they gave the full Costume Quest or promised to give the full version of whatever game they eventually make I would be convinced.

i bought it. it included one steam key, which currently gets you "costume quest prototype" and "happy song prototype" they aren't listed in the steam store and don't show in my steam community all games list, but i do have them in the steam client. their icon is just the double fine logo. you don't get the finished games that these prototypes turned into.

agreed! i thought maybe there was a chance i'd get the completed version of costume quest, but wasn't really expecting it either. i'm not sure if the chosen 4 prototypes will be added to the steam key (or if they'll give us another key) or if those will only be available drm-free.

They will give the keys for the prototypes. It says so on the page.

some days ago i got 4 keys for Brazen prototype in my bundle page, i understand the extra ones are meant to be shared with friends.

What is Amnesia Fortnight?
Amnesia Fortnight is the name for Double Fine’s annual prototyping period. They take two weeks off from whatever they’re working on, split the company into small teams, and each team gets two weeks to make a game. They do this to test out new ideas, and to test out new project leaders who feel ready to have a project of their own. Many of the games Double Fine has released in the last few years have come from the Amnesia Fortnight process. As Tim Schafer says, “it’s really a great morale boost for the team, and a highly effective way to develop new game ideas.”
Double Fine wants you to be a part of Amnesia Fortnight! You can vote for the ideas that get made into prototypes, which will be live streamed during the development process. In addition, 2 Player Productions will be filming the process and posting videos daily. That means you get to see all these games come together from scratch in front of your eyes!
Contributing will also get you two awesome prototypes from previous Amnesia Fortnights, available for Windows (DRM-free and on Steam). Both are an amazing glimpse into Double Fine’s creativity and give a sneak peek as to what to expect from this year’s game jam.
When the Fortnight is done, you can download the actual prototypes and play them yourselves. Contribute now, pay what you want, and decide how much money goes to charity. Then you can decide who wins the award for best prototype of Amnesia Fortnight.
So watch all the videos, read the materials, talk about the games on Double Fine’s forums, and make your selections. Buy the bundle, play the prototypes, let Double Fine know what you think. Who knows? Maybe the greatest game Double Fine has ever done will come out of this process, and you will have been part of it!
