Support means it works, not that is in included.

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

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?

Yea, I suspect that releasing Multiwinia for Linux isn't a huge priority since it was a financial failure - but you can purchase the source code and get it working in Linux yourself if you're determined. I'm considering buying the source code - maybe I'll learn a thing or two about 3D rendering in games.

Nice to see they haven't given up on it then! We don't even have multiwinia though.

Hamish, I don't know what gave you that impression. Subversion will hopefully be released sometime this year, although they don't have an official release date yet. See here: http://forums.introversion.co.uk/introversion/viewtopic.php?t=2718

I am surprised to see Subversion mentioned there... I was under the impression that Introversion had given up on us. Or was I misinformed? :confused:

That's great news. Now, Subversion will be likely released on there as well, where I will gladly purchase it.
Coincidentally, I just started working on an Uplink mod last week. Check out the Uplink forums if you're interested. (Unlike other mods, mine actually includes Linux binaries!)

Minecraft
Lugaru
H-craft
Doom 3 (steam sell it still so why cant ubuntu sort something out to sell the linux version?)
Prey
Penumbra series
Amnesia
Oilrush when its finished
Steel Storm
Caster

Yay for following up on my news :) Just a general little bloggy suggestion: More pictures earlier on to catch the eye + game details before content like the confirmation. rnrnBut awesome otherwise :)

Looks kind of neat, though I have never played a flight simulator outside messing with some of the free software ones. Nice graphics though.

The last alpha I tried was Alpha 3 Cerberus, but as the fan on my GPU quit and I am stuck on my onboard one, it looks like I may have to give this one a pass.

Looking pretty good, I like the graphics - they do not overwhlem you while not underwhelming you either, wich is important for an RTS game.

Hey, the fact that he already has even a basic teasear out shows they are hard at work already. It takes a while to make a good RPG game.

I hope you right, but from what I keep hearing (and asking Unigine and getting the same answer) No MacOS port of Unigine is planned ... why ? I really don't know.
So if the engine won't support MacOS then sadly the game won't be native ...
On the other hand I *might* have some EXCELLENT non unigine related news soon... (when I will confirm this and find the time to post).

Quoting: "tweakedenigma, post: 1340"I am a little disapointed to see the numbers so low, However it looks like I might be buying two copies as I have heard a Mac Version will also be released and the GF will enjoy this game too.

I have done some work to pimp the game on my own:
http://forums.transfusion-game.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2428
But to quote what I said in that thread, "They still would like more pre-order sales, but frankly this seems to be as much their fault as anyone else's. They simply have not done enough marketing, and you do not even need to spend money on it to get the word out. Linux users have been very generous, but Windows users basically have not shown up, and that is because it has not been marketed to them. That is why I posted this thread of course, but still, Unigine needs to learn how to market its games."
