By Venn, 22 March 2011 at 1:29 am UTC

It's, just... wow. Even the Linux "is might not work comrade" build... 0_0

They have something.

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.

I love platformers, and this one looks pretty good.

Looks interesting but the combat looks uncontrollably clumsy.

Well, I just said "gimmie" so we should have a proper rundown on the game in short order.

0 A.D. Alpha 4 Released!
By Hamish, 14 March 2011 at 10:30 pm UTC

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.

Achron v0.8.1.0
By Hamish, 14 March 2011 at 10:27 pm UTC

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.

Do you have a fruit-labeled computer? Well, may be you'll be able to bring some rush to it soon...


Confirmation of Mac port from twitter

Ungine Oilrush Sales Statistics
By MaximB, 9 March 2011 at 8:35 pm UTC

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 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).

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."

Super Meat Boy Linux Confirmation
By tweakedenigma, 9 March 2011 at 7:24 pm UTC

Yeah those comments are a little over the top, up I would agree with Rusty More games on Linux the Better. Not to metion if there is a Linux version I will by it just to prove him wrong.

Welcome to the forums! :)

Personally I'm really not interested what he has said in the past, if Super Meat Boy materialises on Linux it can only help those of us who are interested in gaming on the linux platform. the more games that are produced for our platform of choice the better. Which in turn will produce more people willing to give Linux as their OS a chance. More games, More users, and hopefully we can get out of this catch 22 situation Linux is in.

Super Meat Boy Linux Confirmation
By paveln, 9 March 2011 at 12:16 pm UTC

I have no interest in giving this guy any money after hearing this interview with him (skip to around 43:55):

"There'll also be a Linux version, because (laughing) we're gonna waste our time with a Linux version (laughs). Linux is garbage."

"I can't wait for some Linux programmer guy to e-mail me and say "I'll port this for free", because I already have the e-mail already written that I'm going to send back to him, and basically tell him to fuck off, indefinitely."

"The source belongs to [B]me[/B], alright. So open source, no way. Linux, Linux can fuck off for all I care."

Scirra Construct 2 Announced
By Liam Dawe, 1 March 2011 at 9:33 pm UTC

That's not exactly right, that was his initial thoughts, he is re-working it at the moment.

What's for sure is that C2 will be closed source, bad times. My dreams of a Linux GUI officially down the drain.

Scirra announced a few day that they are going to close source the project and go commercial .

Yeah it looks pretty good from the video, If you install it you will discover the game plays very smoothly, 16bit console gaming abound.
