Original post by GBGames Crown and Cutlass! Why does that game sound and look familiar? Has it been featured in linuxgames.com or tuxgames.com?

I've posted in similar "show off your non-windows projects" threads before. We are in the Linux Game Tome, but I don't think we've had an update there for a long time. We were also recently linked to from the Pirates! Wikipedia page. I'm pretty excited about that one... Anyway, I'm glad you've heard of us!

I develop all of my games first on OS X and then port them to Windows (and sometimes Linux).

I'll probably have more screenshots of my space trading RPG soon.

That's probably it!


Roots: That's some great progress! Have you posted it to happypenguin.org?

Thanks, and yes we have: HP link. Right now we're working on getting a much improved version of our demo released. I actually wasn't too thrilled with our first demo and it was missing a lot of features we had planned for it, but we figured we should just buckle down and release something finally. [lol]

Given their common heritige in Unix/BSD, shouldn't it be easier to port to Linux than it is to port to Windows?

We develop Allacrost across Linux, Windows, and OS X simulatenously, and we found OS X to be the most painful of the three to debug and get a working build on. I think Apple's build system might be a bit whack. I know visage always used to bitch and swear at it like crazy sometimes. [lol]

is being developed on Linux, plus a client for Windows.

It is, but Windows users are the most annoyingly vocal when software doesn't work on their platform, so they get priority.

I can only assume that most of the Linux users are either:
a) use to not having games
or hopefully
b) more competent than the windows users at working around silly little set backs like that.
