What's new in 0.12.0?

The most noticeable change in this release is removed line of sight visibility requirement. The enemies are now always visible like in most platformer games. This simple change makes the game much more enjoyable, since it removes the annoying unavoidable deaths when hidden enemy pops up right in front of you.

Enemies visible through walls

The game got a bit easier now that the enemies are less likely to take you by surprise, so I will likely have to adjust the difficulty of existing levels at some point. Any feedback on overall difficulty of the game is very much welcome.

Here's full list of changes since 0.11.0 alpha version:

  • Removed line of sight visibility tests so that enemies are always visible.
  • Replaced all explosion sound effects with much beefier ones.
  • Added separate stand pose to human animation for more natural standing position.
  • Made damaged walk speed limitation fade in and out smoothly.
  • Minor tweaking to human walk cycle animation.
  • Fixed AI treating flying body parts and grenades as obstacles.
  • Made AI react to door opening sounds.
  • Guards now slowly aim at targets instead of instantly having perfect aim.
  • Gave dragon AI ability to go around obstacles while attacking.
  • Fixed reconfigure scripts that broke due to executable name change.
  • Fixed dragon wing flap sounds not stopping when dragon dies.
  • Fixed crash on match start after deleting and re-downloading the used level.

On console I get this msg " /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /home/rodrigo/.desura/games/14729/3496/lib/libXaw.so.7) ". The libc6 is out of date?

My system is Debian Wheezy 64-bit and I run apt-get upgrade daily.

The game is known to work in Debian Squeeze so it should work in Wheezy too, since Wheezy likely has later version of libc, which is generally backwards compatible.

That libXaw.so.7 requiring GLIBC_2.14 is installed by Desura, so I don't know where it came from. I will have to look into this. I will let you know when I know more.

In the meantime, if you have the time, you could try the direct download version. That might work better, since it uses libXaw provided by the system.

Great! Your reply was very helpful. This commands solve the problem for me:

cd .desura/games/the-platform-shooter/lib (I'm using the Desurium client)
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXaw.so.7 libXaw.so.7

Thx!

Does not work here (the free version). I click launch and nothing happens. I tried to run it directly from the folder, but nothing happens. There is no error message, just nothing.

Win7 64bit

This problem has been solved and will be fixed in the next release. This was not specific to Windows 7, but affects all Windows versions, if certain libraries happen to exist in system directories.

Did you install it from Desura? If so, could you please try the direct download from indiedb.com instead.

I have seen some weird file permission related problems with the Desura version on 64-bit Windows 7.

Yep, installed from Desura and also downloaded from indiedb. The same problem with both.

Does the game needs some additional .dlls ?

It shouldn't need anything other that Visual C++ 2008 run-time libraries, but those should have been installed by Desura if not found..
