The new design looks great! But that means a lot of work to do in the game sales page as well... :S:
 
I'm getting to it once I finish my part of tonight's crowdfunding article! :)

Quoting: KIAazeI still haven't gotten Anomaly to run on my PC, but I'm really happy to see this new fully-DRM-free fully-GNU/Linux weekly bundle. :)
Looks like I will have to try getting it to run again.
Run flawlessly out of the box for me (Ubuntu 12.10 64bit). However, I had some troubles getting Funky Smugglers to work. It complained about not finding libcurl-gnutls.so.4, and since the game is distributed as a 32bit binary it seems to require to 32bit version of that library. In my system I only have the 64bit version in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ so it refused to run. Until I created a symlink to a random 32bit library and it magically worked! :huh: The only problem is that the game crashed afterwards once I finished my first play. I didn't try it anymore and I don't have access to my regular PC right now so I cannot test it further.

Anyone else had problems with that game?

Updated the article again to include a new bundle on Amazon's Indie Games section and to speculate about the new Build A Bundle that's coming after all.

Nope, the sound was fine all the time until it crashed. About the core dump I'm sorry, I was only testing the game and I deleted everything aftwerwards. :(

I didn't know you were involved with AGS, I'll make sure to keep any future core dump I get (and I'll pester you about any bug I find :D).

Quoting: s_dUnless people hit that audio corruption bug w/Pulse... :(
Hmm... How does that bug work? Does it occur randomly? Because yesterday after testing the Richard and Alice demo I also had a go at Primordia and I got a core dump as a result of some sort of audio crash. I restarted the game and it happily didn't crash at the same point again.

Article updated to include:

· Confirmation that Richard & Alice can be played with the AGS Linux port.

· The new Indiebundle.org's Deadly Dungeons Bundle [External Link].

Alright, I edited the article as it could certainly be confusing the way it was before.

Quoting: s_dSadly, you were correct, Munt :(
What do you mean? The Be Mine 8 mysterious game? Well, it turned out to be Primordia, which technically is a Windows-only game but can be played using the AGS Linux port nonetheless.

Quoting: s_dMuntdefems, something I didn't notice before is that you've mentioned Richard & Alice as AGS games which need the Linux interpreter to run, but you didn't mention that for the Blackwell Chronicles games nor for Primordia, which are in the same situation.
Well I didn't mention it this time around, but I did for sure in both the #3 and #4 issues.

Quoting: s_dAlso, regarding Richard & Alice, I'm contacting the devs to ask them what tool they use to package those installers.
Thanks! If all else fails, I guess it could be easily installed with Wine but I can't really bother to try it... :P

Hehe, turns out this particular game has been on my list since it was launched on Indiegogo and I always felt bad about not featuring it in the crowdfunding column. I'll try to put things right with the next one.
