Quoting: Fenix2412Sadly I couldn't get these mods to work. They either crash instantly after I start loading or after 15% of loading.

Hi Fenix2412,

I have to admit that we didn't test much the functionality of the mods under linux that much but we will have a closer look at it. Sorry for the inconveniences!

Seems this is the issue:

rwr_game: /build/buildd/ogre-1.7.2/PlugIns/ParticleFX/src/OgreRingEmitter.cpp:112: void Ogre::RingEmitter::setInnerSizeX(Ogre::Real): Assertion `x > 0 && x < 1.0' failed.

Also, it seems the game will use the wrong monitor, and disable my primary monitor. Any chance of that getting sorted?

Quoting: borartrI especially hope that SDL itself will profit from it (bugfixes/performance wise). It it in my opinion still not very good. For example even Trine 1 is unplayable even on lowest settings (extremly ugly) on my intel laptop (<10 fps), which should not be the case for such a simple sidescroller imho.
Not sure if it is good for a game engine to put a additional layer between it and the system in general, but for unity I personally dont care much as long as it works better than before.

A games performance has little to do with using SDL.

Quoting: TheLinuxPlayerIs this online based or does it have a campaign?

It has single-player and online play, it doesn't have a traditional campaign as these games are about doing what you want.

Quoting: z3ntuYou should also include: https://twitter.com/natosha_bard/status/730147691372646401 [External Link]

Yeah, that was supposed to be in, I accidentally duplicated one. Fixed.

Quoting: coesetaLast time I checked the game looked quiet PVP heavy. Is that still the case? Would it also be possible to play the game PVE only?

It has quite a bit of PvE, there are multiple dungeons to do with different enemy types. Most of the earlier game won't really have any PvP.

Quoting: chrisqWhy are there so many articles about this unreleased game?
It looks truly medicore, I don't get why it is getting all this attention here.

Maybe I like it? It's also not unreleased, it is released and playable, it's just in Beta.

Seriously, why is it bothering you so much?

The whole idea of StarBreak is done better (action platformer) by Terraria and Starbound. As someone who has played all three, that is my personal opinion, like everything I write about gameplay.

That said, I've edited that ending bit to be more clear on this :)

I stand by what I said, for people who like exploring with friends (which an MMO is supposed to offer, this does not), with action and picking up items (all the stuff an MMO is supposed to do better) and so on they are better off checking the games i suggested.

Not exactly the same games, quite obviously, but far better choices.

Also, I didn't actually compare them, it was an ending note for people the check them out instead.

I really don't know that you've gotten an accurate picture of this game.

I wouldn't recommend it either

Looks like I did get an accurate picture of the game (since you agree with my overall thought on it), you just don't think the games I mentioned instead are close enough. I disagree.

Quoting: TheGZeusI'm confused about the Terraria and Starbound comparisons...

Those are basically 2D Minecraft-alikes.

This is a grindy MMO crossed with some kind of Amiga-era platformer.

"They side-scroll and have combat" are the only similarities I can see.

They are 2d sidescrolling action platformers that have exploration and crafting as well as multiplayer. This game has all but the crafting part. It's easy to compare it with.

I stand corrected, they added that a month ago it seems. The page is still very light on details.

Quoting: JonnyHThanks for your interest - this video was actually recorded on Linux, and is my primary dev platform.

The progress is rather slow, mainly due to manpower, so if you are / know any devs willing to help out please let us know!

Or just drop by the forum at openapoc.pmprog.co.uk, or IRC (freenode #openapoc) and say Hi :)

It's one project I would love to be kept informed about. Message me any time on the progress!
