Brushfire Games On Their Linux Sales For Shipwreck & Their Thoughts On Linux

Also, just to point something out. This is why developers and gamers in general look down on us.

Quoting: aLI think this guy have more misconceptions than real issues..., for example, hes willing to buy an expensive machine just to program in... but not set up a linux environment that can just be installed in a windows fashion (next, next, next) in nearly any pc besides the one they are currently using?

And then they are a line away of having everything installed ( $ sudo whatever install A B C)
It's his platform of choice, as Linux is ours.

Quoting: BeamboomI do not mean this as an insult to anyone, but I seriously thought developers in general were a lot more geeky than this, and didn't really see it as much of a challenge to set up a system and do the required research while doing so.

I mean, I don't doubt this guy, he's very likely right in what he say (it's really well confirmed by other devs by the lack of basic QA testing) but seriously, he sound like your average, low competence consumer with this Mac ease of use attitude.

I just always thought they were more like us...
Again, calling a developer things like this is not helping, especially when they are doing nothing but supporting us. How would you like to be called things like this?

Think about your attitudes people, it's a little sour.

I may run this website, and speak to a lot of developers, but I know jack about things like the command line to the point of disliking it.

LEGO Minifigures Online Released For Linux, Some Thoughts

The point is it's an MMO, it's supposed to have some sort of challenge to it. It has nothing, it's boring, and the dialog is oh so terrible.

We aren't talking about a story focused adventure game folks, it's an MMO.

Quoting: ProfessorKaos64Appreciate the test results Liam. I enjoy Jurassic Park-like games, so I will keep my eye on this one.
You're welcome.

It seems to work a bit better after the updates last night, and my character isn't invisible on the creator, or in the Inventory panel. Loving the quick work by the developers to polish it up for us.

They are moving to Unity 5, so hopefully that will improve performance for lower-end and mid range people, but it's great for me.
