Oh btw if anyones interested Spirits is pretty cool if you remember and enjoyed playing the puzzle game Lemmings.

Looks like they're still doing the Ubuntu Software Center which is cool, even though I don't personally use it.

On the games:
Spirit: Very well done, it actually took me a few levels to realize something. In it's most basic form the gameplay is basically Lemmings.

Fieldrunners:
../Code/Engine/Utilities/FileUtilities.cpp:328: void GET_RESOURCE_PATH_FROM_MAIN_BUNDLE(const char*, const char*, const char*, NextStep::String*&, bool): Assertion `outResourcePath != __null' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

SpaceChem and Uplink: Already had from previous bundles, but it's nice to get them on Android I guess

Bit.Trip Beat:
As always from the Bit.Trip games very fun rhythm based game.

The game devs have the right sense of humor:

[LEFT]RPS: How many DRMs will your game include?[/LEFT]
[LEFT]Rossignol: When we’ve worked out what the most controversial DRM solution is, we’ll use that. I was thinking some kind of red hot robotic desktop hook that removes the eyes of legitimate users, but leaves pirates unscathed?[/LEFT]

Is it struggling though? It's only three days old (I find it hard to get a feel for stuff until at least one week in).

Yeah its a bit of crime that this one is struggling to meet its funding really, I hope it gets made anyways.

Loved Wings on the Amiga but there was also Redbaron which I prefered as it didnt have the mini games and thus was more immersive for me. I loved them both though.

Quoting: "Ultimoore, post: 5208, member: 226"Well, the biggest thing I love about this is that they see tons of potential in OpenGL but have to get over certain hurdles first.

I think that OpenGL has always had this potential. None of the OpenGL games I play or the OpenGL apps I use have any performance issues.

It's great to have the power of OpenGL highlighted like this :D

:O

I love the pants off this game (and still play it when I pull out my Amiga)!

did not know what to expect with the title, but looks pretty intresting and probably frustrating ;)

I know its hard to keep up with all these game coming out for Linux now. I still haven’t finished Frogatto yet. I just finished Trine 2 ( Finally ). But the biggest thing that is a selling point for me is the online battles I can do against my friends.

im not using ubuntu.. Mint 13 Mate Desktop without compiz i have.
Xonotic records fine.. ToM not... SS:BR haven't tested yet.

Have you tried recording screen cast on Ubuntu 12.04 for SS:BR or ToM ? It just doesn't work for me. It works fine for anything else, but not for DarkPlaces engine.

thats my script
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28788188/cast.sh

voice and sound does record fine with simultaneous output

Suppose to be the same engine, unless Xonotic team changed something :)

What script do you have? My major issue is voice over sound - it comes out all wobbly when I am recording simultaneously from mic while playing the game and recording it into AVI with built-in tools. And if I use ffmpeg it just comes out all bad.

Quoting: "motorsep, post: 5190, member: 154"I used Fraps on Windows. There is nothing on Ubuntu 12.04 to record good quality screencast :(

don't have windows for fraps...
weird thing is that i can record xonotic just fine with my script... same engine?
glc is pain in the ass for me...it works..but its doesnt want to record audio and cannot use the output file directly in openshot...have to encode first..takes lot of time.

I found myself fighting all that stuff and wasting time. Since I have Windows, I'll just do screencasts there from now on.

glc is pretty good once you get it installed (which can be a bit annoying as it is not packaged by most distros for some reason), and if you do not want to mess around with scripts and terminal commands you could use my Soul Capture program with it. ;)

I tell you man if you posted this game on kickstarter with a low pledge to start I really think this game would do well. Hell I would be willing to invest more money into the game. Also I know I have talked to you about this before but if you had a gift system it would also help.

Quoting: "Bumadar, post: 5189, member: 93"I know ToM was on Bluesnews so maybe you could get a follow up placed ?

Well, it was on Bluesnews because they picked it up. Press doesn't usually post about games they don't like and simply spamming them won't do any good. So we'll see if they will pick up on the update.

Quoting: "Xpander, post: 5188, member: 92"hey, what do u use for screencast?
my avconv(ffmpeg) script doesnt want to work good with this game....fps in game shows nicely at 60 cap(v-synced) but actual footage is unacceptable..about 10-15 fps with huge skips...alltho the script is set to run on 30 fps.
also tested recordmydesktop and kazam.. all recorders have same issue with this game.
other games seems to record fine...

anyway...nice changes... love it
