Good that he pointed possible GPL license violation, so the guys could remove that code, but threatening devs & breaking their license is just plain stupid.

He's ret arded to the point, he don't see his own hypocrisy :/

And yeah

The Wine Development Release 1.7.19 Is Now Available

Quoting: Alzarath
Quoting: sobkasSo what gcc version is a naughty one?
The latest one, 4.9.

Try compiling yourself, on my test i compile wine myself

Good news is only you have this process, system already have required dependencies and for this reason its dont need make again

Once have downloaded wine source you need this commands for uninstall before version (dont delete wine folder created from source)

sudo make uninstall on wine source folder created

and after this begins with lastest wine soource downloaded


-tar xjpf wine-1.7.19.tar.bz2

-cd wine-1.7.19

-./configure

-make depend

-make

-sudo make install

however this steps show in video guide

This videos on my channel have a minor idea about compiling wine, but this process is for linux mint 16 kde 32bits

Humble Indie Re-bundle 8 Released
By scaine, 18 May 2014 at 11:05 am UTC

Pretty miffed that the current bundles don't see to show platform support. Maybe it's just that Team 17 has no support bar Windows, but all they're showing is the Steam logo. Frustrating.

I was under the assumption it's a problem with Wine. It seems like it's because the Arch Linux package of WIne is compiled with a version of gcc that breaks things. Guess I'll have to wait 'til that's fixed.

Quoting: AlzarathI've been unable to install Dawngate since 1.7.18 and this didn't fix it, sadly. I think it has something to do with the fact the installer is a .msi. Maybe I'll install it on a virtualbox and see if it runs afterwards. Before all this the game ran fantastically.

Thanks, yeah I'm not a musician... I'll try to add more varying tunes for the generic rooms -- certainly room for improvement!

Love this game. Will it ever see a stable release? I'm not sure it matters. Part of me thinks the distinction between stable and unstable software is meaningless. Stable has never meant bug free or that the game is complete anyway.

Humble Indie Re-bundle 8 Released
By Hamish, 17 May 2014 at 9:56 pm UTC

I was going to get Hotline Miami as part of the Humble Store flash sale but opted for this instead.

I also got the current Weekly Sale for the Special Edition of Mark of the Ninja, even though I am still a little miffed that they did not just include it with Humble Indie Bundle 9

Road Redemption's Motorbike Combat Is Insane, Will Be On Linux

Yeah that definitely looks like Road Rash on SEGA Genesis/Megadrive. The physics look like they've been thought after that too. Great promise indeed.

I wonder if it'll be in the steam summer sale >_> <_< :)

The Funding Crowd: A Year In Review
By Speedster, 17 May 2014 at 8:37 pm UTC

Quoting: scaineInstead, I think our articles act as an awesome filter of what will succeed.

I mean, we tend to only feature the projects we think look amazing, so I think that naturally slants the results towards success.

While that interpretation is not quite as fun, it is of course the likely one. One would expect that games cool enough for a writeup should have an advantage in getting funded. Games that have Linux as a stretch goal tend to be held to an even higher standard for being featured, plausible explanation of why featured-despite-Linux-stretch-goal projects were funded at an especially high rate.

Telepath Tactics Has A New Trailer, Looks Like A Solid Turn-based Strategy/RPG
By Speedster, 17 May 2014 at 8:26 pm UTC

Maybe someday one of the Haxe IDEs will get good enough to pry devs like him away from that dead-end flash stuff, even if it's not as polished as Abobe's flash authoring stuff...

@Speedster

Forget about it, the author is a militant Flash user. People were, at some point, nagging him to drop Flash, and trying to explain why it's a bad choice, and his response could be summed up as "no u". The fact that his previous game, Telepath RPG: Servants of God runs like ass on my computer when it has no business doing so suggests otherwise. It's not only slow, it's unplayable in anything but a very small window. Which is a shame, because it was an interesting game. Same thing for this one. Though I would suggest hiring an artist next time, in addition to using practically anything but Flash to make it.

Brilliant article, guys, sorry I couldn't help out with this one! A little, cynical demon on my shoulder suspects that The Funding Crowd might not have "impacted" the funding rate as much as the stats would suggest, however. Instead, I think our articles act as an awesome filter of what will succeed.

I mean, we tend to only feature the projects we think look amazing, so I think that naturally slants the results towards success.

And while I've only helped with the last 12 articles (which surprised me - feels like longer :P) I know there have been a couple of cases where I've said "that looks great, but with one week to run, it's doomed to fail, so let's drop it". Usually when it's utterly doomed though, like $2000/$150k with 5 days left, but it does happen.

Great stats though guys. Fantastic work.

I really wish this would get ported to something modern like Haxe. I had an early beta of Telepath Tactics on my previous gaming machine, but haven't gotten around to installing the obsolete Adobe Air stuff on my new one yet.

Road Redemption's Motorbike Combat Is Insane, Will Be On Linux
By , 17 May 2014 at 2:58 pm UTC

I want to point out a section of their kickstarter:

"We will release Road Redemption on PC (Windows/Mac/Linux)"

I backed it solely for that. I've been trying to run the alpha in Wine ... it tries to work, but it also really wants a gamepad, and I just don't care enough to try until mouse/keyboard support is in.

I loved the Road Rash games growing up. This looks exactly the same, so will be a nice nostalgia trip. I think the price is a bit steep for what's basically a Road Rash remake though, will need a lot of bells and whistles to make compensate the price.
