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.

We're looking into it, and weighing up all our other options.

Just wondering, something like http://openbuildservice.org/ won't that help with building the packages ?

Tried the demo level 1, hooked, pre-ordered :)

Quoting: "Anonymous, post: 2268"Why? This is great solution for producers.

As i for one like to keep options open, even though i am a Ubuntu user i don't want to be locked down to Ubuntu so until USC is on other platforms i won't myself buy from it, but i won't steer people away from it either.

I just prefer Desura or Gameolith, buy once, multiple platforms, much more value for money to me.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 2265"I still think buying from USC is a bad idea, being locked to a platform is not good. Still waiting on Desura.

It is nice to hear a Ubuntu user saying that. Still, checking on their blog, there seems to have been a Desura Linux post we missed:

They have improved their website a bit since I last saw it. And they have finally got some coverage on some none Linux *cough* *phoronix* *cough* or Russian gamer websites.

Granted, it is Rock, Paper, Shotgun so it is not hard to get mentioned there, but still a step in the right direction. :)

Quoting: "Hamish, post: 2185"Hey, I might just be getting that game since it is included in a cheap 6

Funny I still have this game somewhere AND the computer where I ran it up back in the days... now waiting for a rainy day :)

Ah fair enough then, yeah the forums at the moment on Gameolith are a little overly simple heh.

Probably, although we want to give the forums an overhaul first, adding more community features.

No problem mate, a quick question for you - are you going to be adding forums for the other games? Seems odd having only 2 game forums, should have all or none.

Thanks for the replies!

@MyGameCompany: We're preparing a new partner site that should address all your concerns - the royalty split and the agreement will be available for everyone to see. In the meantime, you can read all about it at http://gme.li/qAQ3pF. We've put our e-mail address in a couple of places, but it could be easier to find - anyway, it's [email protected].

@KIAaze: Thanks for the feedback! In particular, we're going to look at changing the way we put that partner signup form on the page. It's certainly no good if it's triggering clickjacking alerts, considering it's meant to be just an embedded iframe.

Anyway, thank you Liam for the great article!

Sent you an email elaborating my experiences with the new build. Suffusive to say, it works. :)

I got them, thanks. But you may have missed my latest updated version. Can you download it again and give it another go? I think I have it fixed.

I got the same error as Hamish on my laptop. Just sent you the logs as well. It crashes when looking for non-existent textures.

Ok, Hamish! I just uploaded a new version. Same link as before. Somehow I missed the fact that the first level was still loading a bunch of old placeholder art that doesn't exist anymore. All of the other levels should be fine.

Please give it one more try, and let me know.Thanks!
