Monster Rpg 2

Hello. A generic Linux port is possible but since it's a one man show now, with me handling and testing the updates myself, it's quite a big job. I could do it though if I could get a couple testers who could test the game on various distros besides Ubuntu, in return for a free copy of the game (and if you do a thorough job, testing credits.) If anyone is interested email me at trent2/at/gamblin.ca. I would be selling the game on http://nooskewl.com, the same way as the Windows version (probably a combo buy one version get them all.)

Yeah, that was my thinking to. The problem is Desura has been dragging its feet with regards to porting to Linux for how long? Despite it being the most requested feature by it's user base?

After thinking about it a bit, it might be nice if Nooskewl supported Desura once they get Linux support in place. I'm sure they just want the easy channel. (Of course I'm hoping Desura doesn't go Ubuntu only as well.) They could also see if they could slip into a Humble Bundle. If it's at least a few hours worth of game play, I'd pay more than $3 for it. I like RPGs.rnrnOn a side note, I keep seeing cool Linux gaming site in Polish. I need to find a way to get Google to translate an RSS feed.

That was my thought. I'm currenty running an older Ubuntu that has Software Center but none of the games that are supposed to be available in it. I haven't decided yet, but but my next install is either going to be Gentoo (again) or one of the rolling Debians. rnrnI'm truly crossed with Canonical. It seems they keep trying to balkanize Linux. For what it's worth, I can't really blame Nooskewl since they aren't the one who created the situation, however if I can't buy the game, I won't. It's a shame too. It looks like a nice game.

Yeah, just read about this on LinuxGames. My brother likes the later game Z: Steel Soldiers, so this might be interesting to try out.

Although not true in this case, the suggestion of something being Ubuntu only because of the software centre is troubling. After all, the Linux market is small enough as it is without dividing it up even more based on distro lines. :eek:

Welcome to the forums!
Thats good news for other distro users. I have now bought this game and its not a bad game for the money, so its good to hear other linux users may get chance to get a decent cheap game.

According to Trent's comment posted TuxPlay (http://www.tuxplay.pl/2011/03/monster-rpg-2-wydany/) Linux generic port is quite possible.

As far as I am aware its for Ubuntu only. Still it cant be long before they build it for other distros surely.

Is it only available to Ubuntu? Is there a way for users of other distos to get it?

Scirra Construct 2 Announced
By , 28 March 2011 at 2:05 am UTC
Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 1178"When you create a sprite it should auto-open the sprite editor (in my case it opened paint), what happens when you add in a sprite in Wine?


Hi
Sorry for jumping into your thread, but i just wanted to throw something in.

With Construct 2, you DONT have to use 'paint' for editing sprites. Windows regards 'paint'
as the default editor, so Construct opens with that first. You have the option to change it!

(The latest version allows you to create touch screen apps, and allows you to include audio)

Check the C2 forums if you want any further info. The program is amazing.

regards

So, my first attempt at playing the game didn't go so well, because the Linux client glitched on me, and I couldn't close the shop menu. And then my whole team was complaining about me and tried to votekick me, because I couldn't cast spells with the shop menu open. I encountered some other problems too, like the mouse cursor would occasionally spaz out and look weird. Also, once when I had quit the game and started it back up, it crashed my computer. The Linux client definitely needs some work.

The second game I played went pretty well, except for the fact that I kept dying. I got better towards the end of the match and I actually managed to kill someone!

Hopefully there won't be too many more weird glitches. Otherwise, it's fun stuff.

There's no way I would have bought it at $30, so thank you for staying on top of deals like this.

This is great! And I believe Minecraft will also end up in Software Center soon: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features

Scroll down all the way to the "Choose from hundreds of games" headline and what do you see? Minecraft is listed as supported software!

Cute, in a kind of sadistic way. Still, I wonder if they really expect people to buy it? Some Indie titles do seem to cross a line between small-scale production and over-priced freeware.

I got Darwinia and would likely get Multiwinia if they made that avilable as well :D

By Hamish, 24 March 2011 at 5:05 pm UTC
Yeah, well, it annoys me when something like that happens anyway... like when we get the first or second game in a series but do not get the third or fourth. It ruins continuity. Granted, I am unaware of Multiwinia sharing anything in particular with the other Introversion titles (which I should admit I have never played either), but it still annoys me...

At least the source code is available, but I was under the impression it was under some weird payment model?
