Re: Your next planned game purchase?

Quoting: KIAazeLooks much cheaper than tuxgames indeed. Thanks. :)
(I never bought anything from tuxgames so far actually. I used [url="http://www.linux-onlineshop.de/"]http://www.linux-onlineshop.de/[/url] for Robin Hood and Jagged alliance 2 and the rest directly from the creators except for the humble bundle).

I'll add the following to my list of potential games to buy:
-Ankh series
-Jack Keane
-Cold war
-Civilization
-Doom 3
-Medal of Honor
-Prey
-Multiwinia
-Caster

Note: So far, I had a much less bugs in indie games than with "commercial titles". :roll:
Probably because most indie devs start developing in a cross-platform way directly now. Or just because they are more recent.
The worst offender is jagged alliance 2, where the open-source engine works better than the binary I got with the CD!

I thought about buying the Ankh series and Jack Keane, but the demo port of Ankh 1 was of a very poor quality under Linux, and the prices are way too high; higher than most other games.

Re: Your next planned game purchase?

Didn't end up buying the above two mentioned games as i couldn't get the relevant demos to work.
They looked really cool though, such a shame

Re: Your next/last game purchase?

Just picked up a copy of Awesome Soccer World 2010 since rusty keeps banging on about it i tried the demo, neat little game, really reminds me of SWOS (sensible world of soccer) on the Amiga.

I remember doing the QA for the developer as the game was buggy under "Ubuntu's Java" (it uses OpenJDK by default), but after a week or two he stopped sending me the updated .bins .
But it's a good game, need to try it with the regular Oracle Java .

The OpenJDK makes problem for a lot of Java based games, shame it's default because a lot of people don't realize the problem and think the game is buggy.

Re: Your next/last game purchase?

Awesome Soccer World is a great little game, It does feel very much like sensible soccer. Currently have Middlesbrough top of the premiership with a goal difference of 28 with not a single loss after 10 games (only on lev 3), now that wouldn't happen in real life. Shame it doesn't have online mode I would challenge you to a game, now that would be great fun.

I've managed a cross then header into the back of the net but have not pulled off that scissor kick goal yet. :D

Saying that i just got an email from them:

QuoteHi Liam,

Many thanks for your purchase of Awesome Soccer World 2010.

It's been brought to our attention that some Linux users are experiencing a problem with the Full version of the game. Rather than downloading the entire package again, simply replacing the AwesomeSoccerWorld.jar file with this one:

<url removed>

should resolve any problems you may face.

We're very sorry for any invonvenience this may cause.

Kind regards,

Peter.

Haven't even tried it yet but will do in a bit, really good of them to send me that email though :D

Re: Your next/last game purchase?

I thought that the demo version has the same problem, or at least had - they might have fixed it by now.
