Scirra Construct 2 Announced

Ooo, awesome. Unfortunately the current system isn't quite usable under Wine; you cannot edit sprites directly. Maybe there's a way around it but I haven't discovered it

Is it any good vs AI at all though?

Single player is vs Ai only no campaign mode, so I will be giving this one a miss. :-(

Fancy winning a game of your choice?!
By Liam Dawe, 8 January 2011 at 6:53 pm UTC

Well me and Rusty have been talking it over (don't worry it hasn't been forgotten) been a bit unsure as of what to do since there was only 2 people who actually entered, out of those two you are the winner anyway.

PM me once you decide what you would like to receive and i will sort it out for you.

Consider this competition a well overdue closed!

Anything happen regarding this?

Conquest
By Rustybolts, 7 January 2011 at 6:14 pm UTC

I haven't as i prefer a single player game, although there is a demo available on the website I may check it out to see if there is any campaign mode at all, afterall $7.50 - 4 quid ish it's worth at least checking out.

Did you pickup a copy? Since the sale is still on I'm tempted to, depends how many players there are.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 999"Looks like they are really going all out this time, really hope this is not the last humble indie bundle.


Well even if it is every company involved will have a long term customer in me (as long as they keep developing for Linux).

Quoting: "Rustybolts, post: 993"For those that have already purchased Humble Indie Bundle 2 you will now find the first Humble Indie Bundle on your download page.
For those that havn't you have 3 days left to purchase 10 great games for any price you want.


Technically its 11 games and anyone who buys it from here on out needs to pay more then the Average to get all 11.

Although I own most of the games I've donated $10 for the Bundle.

Humble Indie Bundle 2
By Hamish, 19 December 2010 at 8:23 am UTC

Well, they have reached over $1 Million USD now. Also, Braid got an update today:

Changes since original build:
- Added support for systems without S3TC support.
- Added support for PowerPC and 64-bit Intel Macs.
- Added support for amd64 Linux systems.
- Possibly fixed never-ending black screen that some Mac players experienced.
- Now attempts to choose correct language at startup, if a translation is available, on both Mac and Linux.
- Added notes on useful command line options to Linux README.

Notice anything in particular there? :D

Humble Indie Bundle 2

Here you are folks, straight from the horses mouth:

QuoteMost people that are hitting this have s3tc support disabled in their video drivers, which means they can't run most modern video games. Use driconf to turn it on, I've been told.

Most of the other problems seem to be video drivers that fail on Braid's shaders. I think we'll shake these issues out over time, but I suppose the bulk of that work falls on the backs of the driver teams.

I don't know what anything but Braid is doing for installation, but I just installed it to "/home/icculus/Braid With Spaces" and it installed, ran, and uninstalled just fine.

If you're having an install failure with MojoSetup, though, please email me and we'll figure out what's going wrong: [email protected]

Well, from the free ones at least Rusty, we do have plenty of commercial ones that offer good single-player.
