After people started shit-talking the developer, telling him that he's lying to linux-users by saying the game has full gamepad support, he decides he's had enough and removes the game from linux downloads until he's able to port it to a more recent version of GameMakerStudio. The dev suggested people try a binding program like joy2key until this problem was fixed, but apparently that wasn't good enough. He acknowledges this, and says he can't make a linux-specific workaround because this game is made with an older version of GameMakerStudio that didn't properly take gamepad input under Linux. The dev for the game () (a retro platformer with a sharp difficulty curve) actually //removed// linux downloads from his game, because people were () under Linux. The problem is that this attitude is becoming more widespread among linux gamers, and even indie developers are taking notice. Blizzard could do the exact same thing Valve has done and release their own set of libraries which they can include with their games and have their games rely upon, or as others have pointed out they could even possibly use Valve's libraries as long as those are indeed distributable by all companies. The game devs from Humble Bundle games along with several other devs have shown it's perfectly possible to bundle your libraries with your game or statically compile them and they will run on most any distro. Support devs who aren't, for whatever reason Blizzard has for being that way, stupid when it comes to releasing Linux games.Īlso anyone thinking Linux is somehow "Valve's OS" is crazy. So no, I don't believe Blizzard, fuck them.
My guess is they could release a Linux version easily and my logic works like this: Given how much Blizzard charges per month and how many Linux players there probably are for Blizzard games, does anyone here honestly think that the 1-2% Linux gamer base couldn't pay some Blizzard devs to take their Mac version and make a Linux one with it and give some support for it? We've had proof from devs like Feral and Aspyr telling us they've already paid for Linux development of their games **long before** the Steam Machines have been launched. I work in a big company that has a horrid sluggish lifeless bureaucracy so I know what it can be like, and considering new platforms to support might not be part of their "procedures". The CEO could be clueless or he could have been brushing Linux off due to bureaucracy or some stupid greed involving not wanting to hire more devs or devote their existing devs to such a project. Heck, maybe you can make a Skyrim version of this outfit for a body type like CBBE and spread word that way.His "tantrum" seemed random and judgemental to me as well, but not necessarily wrong.
:P That site is full of outfits like this. Maybe you should have advertized on Skyrim Nexus.
Honestly, when was it ever NOT dissapointing to see such excellent box art and find the game was crap? Used to make me veer away from those types of games. Remember how they used to get an actual guy dressed up as the hero? Sad. Which leads to some interesting fantasy regarding brick pregnancy. She literally does look like a large, roughly brick-shaped object in embedded in her belly. If you think this image is "racy", look up "Phantis boxart" in Google - that's the game Ultionus is homage to.ĭoo not misunderstand: I had nothing against the raciness ♥! All I wanted to point out was her abs. Originalmente postado por DarkFalzX:Many games of that era featured a very over-rendered image with a flawed underlying drawing of a ridiculous "realistic" portrayal of the player character. This game looks to be good and deserving of more recognition. Whether it's the retro style, the '80s-style boxart that some today may consider to be politically incorrect, the lack of marketing budget, strong competition in this sector, the price or a combination of those things that have served to minimise its media exposure.
the more advertising revenue a game's publisher puts a websites' way determines how much coverage the game receives. It seems to me that games no longer get the column inches proportionate to their quality on such sites because it's the marketing budget which dictates that these days, i.e. So disenfranchised with most of the 'mainstream' gaming websites am I that I lost faith in them some time ago. The gameplay looks really quite fun (I'm a keen retro gamer with numerous older cosoles including Sega Mega Drive) so I've now added the game to my Steam watchlist. Reading that inspired me to look into the game a little further. Originalmente postado por DarkFalzX.If anything - my boxart actually harmed the games sales quite badly, as only one mainstream site ever reported on it.
