This year’s investment will be directed toward the following five in-development projects:

A revamped edition of the 🌃colorful 2D fighting ga༒me.

A new title helmed by Trinidadian-America🎶n dev Ryan Huggins.

A new tit♛le from the young, retro-gaming-inspired studio.

A new title promising “retro aesthetics, modern rendering,” and a “compelling gameplay loop.”

In addition, Humble Bundle has signed a new deal with one of the initiative’s original seven beneficiaries, Adam Kareem, to publish their action platformer Protodroid DeLTA.
