This is in contrast to the “free engine, paid content” model used successfully by Aquaria and Penumbra (and Marathon 2, and Doom 3, and Quake 3, and…). The source has been available to paid customers for several years, but for the most part there has been no new development beyond a few stalled Subversion branches.
Multiwinia linux code#
Unfortunately, Introversion releases them under a really restrictive license (that prohibits sharing any code or porting to new platforms, among other things), which has led to little (but granted, nonzero) in the way of community improvements. Although NightSky works well (with a little slowdown). Haven't tried NightSky, but I have high hopes for that one as Intel Atom is listed in the system requirements.ĮDIT: still no luck. I have no hope of running Shank or on the netbook, so I'm not even bothering to download. Although, it does need to be updated and I'll try removing Vesa to make sure it's not using that. I'm pretty sure I've installed the xf86-video-intel. Like I said, I'm using a netbook (Acer Aspire One D255, IIRC), which has an "Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller". I get the feeling these two problems are related to my graphics card drivers. Gratuitous Space Battles gives me a dialog window that says "Could not set video mode". Super Meat Boy gives me the MojoShader compile failed error. Cave Story+ runs fine (didn't play long, but I'm sure it's fine). Jamestown was pretty slow (I'm being stubborn and trying to run games on a netbook.). Only ones I got to work in Linux have been Jamestown and Cave Story+. All things considered, that isn't bad at all. none of the other stuff of other bundles that I tried (read: didn't try everything, but.) gave me problems either, and the packages in aur would help with that if I did.Įdit: Now that I look into it, 3/7 bundles so far include at least 2 source code releases and bundle 2 had one source code released too. Only needed to do the usual chmod +x on the super meat boy binary to make it executable, but that's par for the course on installing linux software.
I ran nightfall and SMB and they worked out of the box for me. I see links for the sources on my bundle page a ways below all the binaries, and the message "Introversion is offering every Humble Introversion Bundle customer access to their source code for Darwinia + Multiwinia, DEFCON, and Uplink! ".įurther, I've had no problems running any of the games so far. I've had enough fighting the system to get humble games working and more importantly, they haven't open sourced any games for ages.Īges? They open sourced darwinia, multiwinia, uplink, AND defcon from the last bundle that *just* came out before this.
