Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 3657, member: 122"Is there anywhere where you've talked about your approach for art direction for this project/how you work? If not, I'm sure there'd be people beyond myself who'd be interested in hearing.

We don't produce concept art very often as it would be too time consuming , If it a larger model we will discuss it between ourselves what we would like to bring to the game, then ill probably use google images to gather some ideas that I would like to adapt probably link Brandon to them via Google talk. After a quick discussion on what ideas we like, then i will get right to work taking screenshots at various stages of development. Showing Brandon along the way if we decide its not going quite right we will either scrap the model altogether or adapt what we have until we are happy with it. If its a smaller less important model no discussion takes place we just get on with it.

Finally got around to reading this completely, good work Alex.

Thanks Brandon and Rusty for taking part.

It's looking a lot more full and still as always sounds awesome.

If he was to tell you that then he'd have to hire you! Run! :eek:
Anyway, additional information can be included if the interview participants agree to share.

I'm both enthralled and repulsed?

I could tell you...., but then I'd have to do horrible things to you.

Bitrock sent me a release candidate for their next version, and I rebuilt the installer for The Adventures of Rick Rocket v1.1.1. Can you see if this one works for you on Linux Mint 64-bit (without needing to run from the command line, per Bitrock's response that I quoted above)?

Yip, the core team is Rusty and I. After that we have a writer, some composers, and some voice actors.

Neat. Is Rusty the only artist on the project?

:D <- Enough said.
Seriously though, it's a very interesting upgrade on the old platformer. I only regret that they didn't make an entirely new game out of this.

Desura apparently can be picky about what they put up.

Don't think Helena will be going on Desura, we tried ;)

This game is sounding better and better everyday guys. Keep it up.

Though, one question: If you want to get this on Desura, will you be putting Helena up as well?

I heard back from Bitrock today. Here's their response:

QuoteHi Troy,

The issue is an error with version of 32-bit Gtk libraries on 64-bit Ubuntu (as Mint is based on Ubuntu, it has also inherited the issue).

InstallBuilder detects this error in Ubuntu correctly and we will add checking for Mint and falling back to "xwindow" mode.

As a workaround, the installer will work just fine in any other mode - you can recommend the users to run the installer in other modes:

$ ./rickrocketsetup_linux --mode xwindow

or

$ ./rickrocketsetup_linux --mode text

and the installer will work properly.

The issue is documented here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdk-pixbuf/+bug/641056

So it sounds like they will be patching Bitrock to detect the problem. As soon as they do, I'll rebuild the installer. Meanwhile, I will add a note to the game's Linux download page on my web site.

You call that a banner! Let me put my glasses on....Oh there it is ;)

ok now got rid of that pixbuf issue also
i had this loaders.cache on different place since i have 64bit system. made a symlink of it to i386-linux-gnu and the error is gone.
so its not affecting the segfault just to be sure...alltho it was expected.

I will work on the styling to seperate signatures a little more.

Edit > Made the dashes bolder and moved the signatures further down from posts.
