Zombie Grinder is the debut game of TwinDrills, an indie game development duo made up of Tim 'Infini' Leonard and Jordan 'Jordizzle' Chewning. It's a multi-platform (windows, mac, Linux!) (also Free!) cooperative multiplayer arcade game, reminiscent in style and gameplay of retro games like 'Zombies Ate My Neighbors' and 'Super Smash TV!', but with the added benefit of some newer game mechanics - achievements, ranking, player-customization, rpg style stats and so forth. The game sports a variety of different game modes, from co-operative 'campaign' style levels, to wave maps and even the classic 'pvp' style game modes - deathmatch, capture the 'bag' and so forth. All of these mods are bristling with a variety of weapons and items, all lovingly displayed in Jordan's classic quirky pixel-art style.

Default configuration folder is $HOME/ZombieGrinder, I'd suggest to make it $HOME/.ZombieGrinder (with a period before name), cause folders with periods are by invisible by default and this is the way most Linux apps use.

Also, it has strange priviledges by default:

Will do.

What's wrong with the permissions? They seem fine from what I can tell, the t-bit seems like the right permission to use in this situation to ... unless I'm totally misunderstanding it's use.

The t bit, generally, is only used in directories where multiple users will have read/write access. The only place I can ever think of it actually being used is in /tmp.
Basically, there's nothing... wrong with using it here, but it isn't really doing much.

Also, according to general standards, config directories like this are supposed to go in ~/.local/share, but few people actually do that and most just do ~/.directoryname, up to you really!
