Desura to launch a closed Linux Beta!
By Liam Dawe, 21 September 2011 at 8:50 pm UTC
He didn't mention Steam for once, that is a shock....although a lot of other people are now jumping on a "steam should take note" bandwagon...i disagree with them, we should support Desura not hope for another service.

Looks like Larabel is a little late to the party, guess he managed to clear his head enough of beer to read his inbox:

And you should be happy Liam, no mention of Steam for Linux this time.

Its exiting that they finally got it working but I do worry a bit that Gameolith.com might have to pay the price for it. Is the linux market big enough to sustain both ?

ooh and Phoronix will hype Desura to no end while being pretty negative about Gameolith.com when it was released.

Time will tell.

Well heck! If it's already tested and working in Wine, why are they even wasting their time on a Linux port?
Bobby - Wage War on the Green Balls
By Liam Dawe, 12 September 2011 at 7:38 pm UTC
Hah well that clears it up a bit, if you are supporting that on your own game that's pretty awesome.

You wouldn't be cheating me. I made the game :). But if you're not interested in modding, yeah, buying the full version is better. There will be an update in the next week approximately with 10 new levels also.

Yeah i would rather buy a copy than do that honestly.

Quoting: "trentgg, post: 2312"The cool thing about the Lite version running on a PC is, it will run any 20 levels, so if you knew how to create them (which is quite easy), you could mod the game and never need to buy the full version. Like I said there is still a 20 level limit and you'd need to figure out which characters give which objects in the plain text level files, but it could be fun.

You think it's fun to cheat an indie company providing Linux support?
No thanks.

Good question will be interesting to see.

Good to see another game have a demo or "lite version".

Just so people know, USC's minimum price is still 2.99 USD, so that's what this game will cost there when (if?) they accept it.
If You Build It, They Will Come.....(Ignite for Linux)
By Bumadar, 6 September 2011 at 5:12 pm UTC
It looks very cool. I have to be honest though and say the no car game since the original need for speed hot pursuit many many moons ago (where you could add mod build, like the batmobile or the dukes of hazard car) really captured me, often its to realistic while I just am a crap driver and love to slide totally unrealisticly around a track :) That said hope there is a demo to get a feel for the game.

There is always doubt! Until a game is out i am always skeptical :)

Was there any doubt? I mean, they have an old Loki guy as their main coder...
Oilrush pre-order USC
By KIAaze, 1 September 2011 at 12:03 am UTC
Another Ubuntu user here who still hasn't bought from the USC. ;)

Quoting: "Anonymous, post: 2268"Why? This is great solution for producers.


As i for one like to keep options open, even though i am a Ubuntu user i don't want to be locked down to Ubuntu so until USC is on other platforms i won't myself buy from it, but i won't steer people away from it either.

I just prefer Desura or Gameolith, buy once, multiple platforms, much more value for money to me.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 2265"I still think buying from USC is a bad idea, being locked to a platform is not good. Still waiting on Desura.
