Quoting: FireFlower GamesThis looks like crap. :) Will they improve the graphics for the final version?

I hope they will. Currently it looks like a platformer even I could possibly make.

Quoting: minjPretty bold taking them head on with 27 % health :P

Hah, low health cannot stop me from killing my enemies or dying trying! :D
(And the game has infinite character resets, in reality I lost nothing.)

Let's not forget about giving likes to our YouTube videos! Sharing articles directly is more efficient, but giving a like to a video helps the video rise in Google and YouTube search results and potentially allows us to gain viewers (and readers) that wouldn't otherwise be aware of our existance.

Quoting: Dannyjust a little nitpick.. could you package the sources withing another folder in the tarball?
I prefer to use tar and.. well, my download folder is even worse of a mess now.

Oh right, I didn't think of that. I'll package it again and update the Makefile to create better archives in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience, hopefully you can get your directory sorted.

Quoting: GuestReus was almost unplayable the last time I tried it… I wonder if it has been fixed.

It's a lot better now. They released a patch for the lagginess very quickly and currently it runs at acceptable framerates.

Quoting: GuestNice to see that my other comment was removed. So much for a comment system when you can't even voice your opinion.

If you really must have a conversation how we are "sensitive kids" because we want people to be polite in the comment section then go ahead and make a forum post about it. Your comment was not relevant to the article at all and I decided to simply delete it.

Quoting: Someone who isn't dumbMaybe I shouldn't have used autistic because it can be deemed offensive and I'm sorry for that, but the point still stands. The game is geared towards fast paced and adrenaline pumping gameplay, slowing it down would literally just turn it into a walk in the park. They don't HAVE to add the option to slow it down simply because it isn't geared towards slow FPS players; asking for them to add that option IS silly and would just be stupid.

I understand your point and I don't really disagree with you. I just want to keep the comment section clean from offensive stuff for the community's sake. Without moderation the place could end up becoming a huge troll infested hole of hatred and that wouldn't be fun for either the readers or the article writers.

Quoting: GuestYes it is when the option you're suggesting is mentally retarded. If you honestly think a fast paced FPS action based game should have the option to make it slow as balls with boring combat then go right ahead and mod it. I'm sure it will be loved by all.

Quoting: Someone who isn't dumbAre you guys autistic? An arena shooter is meant to be fast-paced and removing that would just turn it into a Sunday drive of boredom. If you really want an "Option" for it to not be fast-paced and actually _fun_, host your own damn server and be sure to hold down the walk key and never crouch-jump. Have a boring time.

I understand that sometimes it's very difficult when you find people that disagree with your opinions on the internet, but if "mentally retarded" and "autistic" are adjectives that you frequently use to describe people that think differently than you I suggest you use 4chan to interact with people instead of our comment section.

I can in some cases understand the use of Wine to bring your game to Linux, but I think we can call this pure laziness. This game isn't exactly technologically advanced and the engine should be fairly easy to port to Linux. Hey, we even have native AAAs, so an 8-bit platformer should definitely be possible with the libraries and technologies on Linux.
