Desura to launch a closed Linux Beta!
By Bumadar, 20 September 2011 at 4:10 pm UTC

Its exiting that they finally got it working but I do worry a bit that Gameolith.com might have to pay the price for it. Is the linux market big enough to sustain both ?

ooh and Phoronix will hype Desura to no end while being pretty negative about Gameolith.com when it was released.

Time will tell.

Well heck! If it's already tested and working in Wine, why are they even wasting their time on a Linux port?

Hah well that clears it up a bit, if you are supporting that on your own game that's pretty awesome.

You wouldn't be cheating me. I made the game :). But if you're not interested in modding, yeah, buying the full version is better. There will be an update in the next week approximately with 10 new levels also.

Yeah i would rather buy a copy than do that honestly.

Quoting: "trentgg, post: 2312"The cool thing about the Lite version running on a PC is, it will run any 20 levels, so if you knew how to create them (which is quite easy), you could mod the game and never need to buy the full version. Like I said there is still a 20 level limit and you'd need to figure out which characters give which objects in the plain text level files, but it could be fun.

You think it's fun to cheat an indie company providing Linux support?
No thanks.

Good question will be interesting to see.

Good to see another game have a demo or "lite version".

Just so people know, USC's minimum price is still 2.99 USD, so that's what this game will cost there when (if?) they accept it.

If You Build It, They Will Come.....(Ignite for Linux)
By Bumadar, 6 September 2011 at 5:12 pm UTC

It looks very cool. I have to be honest though and say the no car game since the original need for speed hot pursuit many many moons ago (where you could add mod build, like the batmobile or the dukes of hazard car) really captured me, often its to realistic while I just am a crap driver and love to slide totally unrealisticly around a track :) That said hope there is a demo to get a feel for the game.

Was there any doubt? I mean, they have an old Loki guy as their main coder...

Nice touches like that are very awesome, i hope there are lots more little touches like that to other parts of the game :), i haven't gotten around to testing out the release you sent yet but will be sure to soon :)

Thanks! There are a couple of different things the guards might do when that happens - that's one of them. I plan to add more things like that before I'm done.

This works fine for the Desura version as well by the way! Although you have to go into windows to download the client and get the key. Desura for Linux can't come soon enough.
