Re: Helena the Third

It looks cool indeed, but I doubt I'll gonna play more then 10 minutes of this game.

Same doesn't look like the type of game that will hook me in either.

:roll:

I would be fine with that statement if it was just changed to "Runs on Linux (Tested on Ubuntu)"...

Well thanks to sites like ubuntu gamer and omg ubuntu everyone seems to think Linux = Ubuntu heh.

Re: Helena the Third

Got a bit of clarification from the developer:

"That’s just what it was tested on. If there’s another distribution you or anyone would like that it doesn’t run on, then just let me know and I’ll get it made."

I wonder if this game was made using Blender and Blender Game Engine.

Re: Helena the Third

Is now open source (unfortunately i still get graphics issues, see-through textures / models)

Hey, I just stumbled on this site through Google. Rusty, I just wanted to thank you for promoting the game! I'm sorry it ended up being a rather buggy release. In hindsight, I definitely jumped the gun claiming the game ran on Linux. I was honestly just excited at the time, and had little experience publishing software for the Linux community. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks again.
I am still developing this project, and I'm hoping to be able to find the source of a lot of those issues.

MaximB, the game was created more or less from scratch with C++/OpenGL, no outside game engine's involved.

Glad to here your still working on it! Looking forward to seeing the finished article, there are not enough fps/3rd person shooters on linux that feature single player play.

Hey Rusty, I updated the code on the repository, and the binaries on the website with a fix that I think should fix those graphical errors you were experiencing. There's also some new art, so you might need to download the game again too. I haven't tested it out on OpenSUSE though yet (like I think you were using?). I am afraid I've decided to only officially support an Ubuntu version from now on, but I guess you got it working before, so if you can find the right libraries for your system then I hope it works!

Also, the hard link you have at the top is out of date now, probably best just to get the demo from the website. Anyway, thanks for the support! It's nice to have a fan, heh.
