Project Zomboid working on Linux!

By - | Views: 9,228
By now i am sure you have all heard of Project Zomboid, the zombie survival game. It is a java based game with a public demo/alpha out which doesn't actually work under Linux (come on it's java!), so one faithful user on a mac fixed it up and it works for Linux now too!

Hasn't this demo been out like a month? Was there something new I missed?

Amazing game by the way.

You missed it never working on Linux for a lot of people without work arounds, this works out of the box :)

I did miss that. Thank you :) I'm going to need to get Rusty to play it now so we can talk about it. Such a good game, basically my dream zombie game right there.

Edit: And yea, Java is not as cross platform as they'd like you to believe. I keep telling people to use C++.... (using portable code)
