Ubuntu Software Centre adds Darwinia and Uplink by Introversion

Yeah, well, it annoys me when something like that happens anyway... like when we get the first or second game in a series but do not get the third or fourth. It ruins continuity. Granted, I am unaware of Multiwinia sharing anything in particular with the other Introversion titles (which I should admit I have never played either), but it still annoys me...
At least the source code is available, but I was under the impression it was under some weird payment model?

I am surprised to see Subversion mentioned there... I was under the impression that Introversion had given up on us. Or was I misinformed? :confused:

Looks kind of neat, though I have never played a flight simulator outside messing with some of the free software ones. Nice graphics though.

Hey, the fact that he already has even a basic teasear out shows they are hard at work already. It takes a while to make a good RPG game.

The last alpha I tried was Alpha 3 Cerberus, but as the fan on my GPU quit and I am stuck on my onboard one, it looks like I may have to give this one a pass.

Looking pretty good, I like the graphics - they do not overwhlem you while not underwhelming you either, wich is important for an RTS game.

I have done some work to pimp the game on my own:

But to quote what I said in that thread, "They still would like more pre-order sales, but frankly this seems to be as much their fault as anyone else's. They simply have not done enough marketing, and you do not even need to spend money on it to get the word out. Linux users have been very generous, but Windows users basically have not shown up, and that is because it has not been marketed to them. That is why I posted this thread of course, but still, Unigine needs to learn how to market its games."

What do you mean random? My first post says the game's acronym ten times!

See the link, the episode was "Waiting for God" from good 'ol Series 1.
I was introduced to Red Dwarf by my parents. Back when they were living in Calgary and B.C. they recorded a bunch of the British comedies that were playing on the nearest American PBS station at the time (Blackadder, Red Dwarf, etc...). So when I was growing up we would watch those tapes, complete with the tedious pledge drives. Sadly, the only time I knew of a Canadian station playing it was around ten years ago on Bravo when they would sometimes play Series 7 and 8, and at one point we saw one on BBC Canada which has REALLY gone downhill since then.
Not that the Dwarf is exactly unknown here, my father was able to buy Series 4 and 6 on tape when he was temporarily living in B.C. for work (and thus gave us some relief from the pledge drives) and the Edmonton Public Library has every episode of Red Dwarf on DVD, as well as most of the novels. But I would not call it a big hit.
Still, I can see another thread split coming.
