Linux build available for free!

20 February, 2016 - Halfgeek

I've configured my game engine to export to Linux, in theory, it should work as I've followed the protocols.

But I am not a Linux guy, ashamed to admit, I have zero experience with Linux and so I cannot provide support for that platform.

I hope that it works. You may download it here:

Let me know if it works, and if not, what some of the things you Linux gurus modify to get it to work. ;)

Regards,

-Huy

It could use a better/longer tutorial for sure, I just quickly glance over the controls, including Spacebar = Active Pause toggle. :)

I'm very glad its functioning well on Linux! o7

Also at first I accidentally hit Spacebar and thought the game had frozen, I didn't realize it was paused, haha. Some indication onscreen might be nice.

Nice idea.

Besides having to make the "nw" binary executable after unzipping (which some people might not realize) the game launched fine on Xubuntu 12.04 32-bit. I'm testing on a not-really-gaming computer too with integrated graphics, so it's good it still runs well enough.

Not sure if it's a Linux specific issue but the intro cutscene was still in fullscreen (even when toggled off) and some sound played (even when at 0), specifically the little tutorial arrow made a bleep on the landing station.

Excellent! Downloading to test now on Antergos x64 and Arch x64
