This Defense Grid post-mortem (via Kickstarter updates gives some really good reasons to target Linux: their first release got screwed by Microsoft (on delays and price points), they managed to release to Steam instead, and worked on Valve's CS:GO later on.

Quoting: drmothWell I'm Australian as well and we actually use British spelling. Any deviance from this is actually laziness or due to American influence (TV, books etc).

In case you had any doubts - http://www.defence.gov.au/

And I agree with Liam, tower defence is a genre, not a proper noun, so it can be spelt either way depending on your heritage.

The game looks good. Excited that more and more developers are turning to Linux (and glad we agree on THAT spelling).

Unfortunately, the original spelling post was a bit offencive to Liam, and everyone seems to be getting very defencive and territorial about this. I am not one to criticise though.

I would like to ask for a vote on bug list format:
a. Remove the bug list
b. Let it stay the same
c. Copy the look from the announcement
d. Start a thread on the forum and take this discussion there

Vote by writing choices from the most desirable to the least.
Example:
c
d
a
b

I will make the final choice, but I will pretty much go with the the most popular choice if enough votes were cast.
Voting will be counted in debian-ctte way. Vote is open till the next release of Wine.

I tried the windows version a few weeks ago.
Gameplaywise it's a nice cardgame, thank god it's not too much like MtG or the Might and Magic cardgame. On the other hand it's still very much in beta and some stuff did not work that annoyed me.

BUT! I don't remember seeing any other online tcg that works natively on linux so it's clever from them to get in there before others.

Quoting: DrMcCoy

Quoting: Spine websiteThe official runtimes are on github under a liberal license

Quoting: Spine source codeYou are granted a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable license to install, execute and perform the Spine Runtimes Software (the "Software" ) solely for internal use. Without the written permission of Esoteric Software, you may not (a) modify, translate, adapt or otherwise create derivative works, improvements of the Software or develop new applications using the Software or (b) remove, delete, alter or obscure any trademarks or any copyright, trademark, patent or other intellectual property or proprietary rights notices on or in the Software, including any copy thereof.

They must be using a definiton of "liberal license" I was not previously aware of.

EDIT: Ah, in the LICENSE file, they later added "(typically granted by licensing Spine)" after the written permission part, but failed to update the header blurb in all the source files. In either case, that's still pretty non-liberal in my book. I mean, in the same vain, you could claim the Unreal Engine, or hell BioWare's Aurora engine, is liberally licensed, because licensees could make changes. Whoop-de-doo.

EDIT 2: It's even worse: The initial license was the 2-clause BSD license. They changed the license 6 months later to some custom "Spline 1.0" license, then over the course of the next 6 months, it became the current Spline license 2.1. Boo, I say.

Yeah, this is pretty bad. It means that we can't use their runtimes in our own free software games because that could imply relicensing to copyleft (or similar).

Though, of course, Spine users can still output sprite sheets, of course. And the community is still able to contribute their own runtimes, licensed however they want... but why bother :S:

QuoteLinux version will come later.

It's a trick to milk money from us, Linux gamers, and then say "sorry we didn't had time or enough interest".

Then don't buy until it is out, it's very simple.

I know, I just got irritated by the fact that they treat linux as a "3rd world citizen". I'm currently making my own game and porting the game from my Ubuntu system to Windows took me like 50 minutes (recompiled libs, fixed a few missing functions).

PS. For Unity engine it's a matter of one click (and in some _rare_ cases change some code) to get game working on Linux.

Quoting: GuestThe list of bug report numbers in these Wine news is not very useful, it’s a pain to hover every one to see what it’s about. Much better to simply point at the official announcement that has a proper bugs list!

Lol true. I get about 3 in and give up. Easier to just copy the winehq buglist imo.

Amazing - Chu Chu Rocket is still one of my favourite Dreamcast games, especially (but not only) when playing in Multiplayer. I'll definitely check this one out!

is it just me, or they are deleting Linux-related comments from steam news entry?
I posted on it along with few other folks a couple of days ago and now I cant see any of it.

i tested this wine and for example on facry 3

with wine 1.7.12 + nvidia 334.16

View video on youtube.com

and now with Wine 1.7.14 + nvidia 334.21

View video on youtube.com


lastest nvidia driver 334.21 on my case show considerable performance boost, for example on assasins creed brotherhood on multiplayer (this mode runs very slow)


This progression is on lastest wine + lastest nvidia drivers


with wine 1.7.11 + nvidia 331.38

Quoting: lainiwakuprice is too much for indi game
i take it under 10€ no more !

well Kerbal Space Program is still in Early access and costs $27

You set a price which you think will generate enough ROI.

The developer of Loren amazon princess also had some words about this topic.

So anything indie =/ less than 10€

I would personally spend more than that on something I enjoy and spent enough time on.

What you meant is not attractive for your budget and in that case is ok to wait for some sales.

Quotebut it definitely is still being worked on.

Oh thats reassuring.

My thoughts exactly.

What is holding it up? Why have they been silent?

Because it's not enough of a priority and not enough people are complaining to warrant any kind of explanation. You think it's on the front page because of Linux gamers? I think not. Priorities.

The most recent updates to SS3 have killed the frame rate for me, where before I was getting a consistent 30 frames per second I'm now getting between 7 & 12, not impressed at all & I love the Serious Sam games.

I got this game from one of the Humble Android Bundles and played it quite a lot. While the graphics and levels are almost identical to the Android version, it's definitely not as challenging. Seems like they changed a lot in the balancing. Still, a very fun game!

What game engine are they using?

Edit: It's Unity3D.

Quoting: Linux owns all?this is unneeded for unity3d+blender developers as all the plugs to do this are build in

Unity3D isn't available for Linux... So... Not exactly relevant.
