I'm kinda torn on this one. On the one hand I would love to support all efforts to improve the engine for GNUX (that is catchy), on the other hand this is a commercial product with a commercial licence so donating feels like throwing money at Epic for nothing. If they released it under a free licence (MIT/GPL/etc., not too picky) I would not hesitate.

I also had issues compiling until I upgraded to gcc-6.1. In fact, the README has been updated to reflect the dependency.

Quoting: GuestI'm just going to point out that, as Liam said, pictures must have a license where he can use them for whatever he would like. That will mean no images of game titles can be used anywhere, unless the publisher, developer, or whoever holds copyright for the game artwork, give permission for it. Or, of course, if the game title artwork is creative commons.
I think that is open for debate. IANAL, but as far as I can tell, this is fair use (see here [External Link] for some guidelines). For instance, it is generally agreed that using images of album covers in low resolutions (up to about 400x400 pixels) constitutes fair use, mostly due to "the amount and substantiality of the portion taken" and "the effect of the use upon the potential market" (quoting the guidelines I linked).

See it here [External Link] or here for the full source [External Link] (though MediaGoblin mistakes the SVG for a video, so you have to download the "Original file" ).

Defender's Quest DX launching this month, removes Adobe Air and upgrades rather a lot
5 Jun 2016 at 4:22 pm UTC

This is awesome. I've been meaning to re-play this for about half a year now but just haven't been able to get it working due to the Adobe Air nonsense (can't remember how I played it back in the day). This update will get me playing again.

That said, judging by the trailer I'm skeptical whether the replaced pixel art is really an upgrade. I hope that option for the old graphics doesn't only apply to cut scenes.

The charts are cool. Would it be possible to additionally add percentages without cluttering up the layout?
