Gish Update Adds Tons of Community Content, Open Source the Culprit?

Gish_update_hibAward winning 2D platformer Gish has recently been updated with a large content patch to what appears to be no fanfare, and well not much of an explanation of how the content was put together.

The update–available now for PC, Mac, and Linux–adds community campaigns that total 40 new levels along with four new community versus levels as well. Though I can’t find any literature to back this up anywhere, I wonder if this could be the first of several content updates for the game that relate to its recent source code release following the Humble Indie Bundle success. Regardless the new community created additions are all there.

A download link, instructions for how to update your game to 1.6 and all patch notes can be found here. From the change log:

Version 1.6

  • Added community campaigns totaling over 40 new levels
  • Added 4 new community vs. levels
  • Changed file saving locations in Windows and OSX to be in user folders
  • Added 64-bit Linux support
