today i finished caster, although [sort-of]
I was playing the 2nd world and when i finished 1 or 2 levels it said [to be continued] and there it stopped.
a new mission came available on the map but clicking on it will say [to be continued] so i m still waiting for new levels.... so sad to say it but:
[to be continued].
today oil rush had an update with improved performance and new splash-screens which, to be honest, are looking pretty proffessional. my FPS-rate went up by 100% which means i can rev up the graphics from high to extreme! which is really nice.
furthermore, i ve created an savage 2 account and started playing it, but don t expect me to do much online matches at this moment, the game is rather complex and i ll need some more training before i can mix in with the pros (i tried once, i died 8 times in a row without having a single hit!)
there is one issue with caster though, i m stuck in world 2 with some spheres that make your attacks go hyper, but makes enemies stronger. I need to destroy them in order to move on but i don t know how!
if someone knows, please post it as comment on my profile, thanks!
finally it s there the 0.95 update of oil-rush! the full-screen bug is completely fixed and the game doesn t crash anymore. but i can t load my old savefiles... which isn t a problem, it were quick-games anyway, but i can t delete them in game! so i m stuck with 2 unusable savegames... hope i get it fixed through the file-manager...
bought oil-rush last week.
I still miss the campaign, and i ve got this nasty bug which disables full-screen playing on linux.
that last one is already solved but the update comes next tuesday. grr.
i also wished the game had 7.1 surround support. since my pc is hooked up to one of those :-)
now the good things about the game: the graphics are awesome! the gameplay is really surprising and set up very well (actually so well that you don t have any time to enjoy the graphics, cause if you do, the enemy will take your oil-platform!). i looove that anaglyph plugin! and best of all, if you ve got many enemies, why not drop a nuke on them?
again together with shadowgrounds, trine and xonotic this proofs tht you CAN game on linux!
just finished trine 1, while not actually finishing the game since i can now start the extra s
can t wait for trine 2 this is really one of the best games available for linux.
i was used to all those checkpoints until i discovered the last level doesn t have one, SHIT! had to play the level 4 times to complete it!
Again thanks frozenbyte for making these awesome games!
hi there
i ve been paying trine recently and i can say im completely addicted to it.
trine really shows that you CAN write great games for linux. the graphics detail is awesome, the gameplay is awesome and the story too. this is my 3rd game from frozenbyte i really like and i can t wait for trine 2 (gotta finish trine 1 first though). go frozenbyte go! make more awesome games for us to play!
hi there
just finished shadowgrounds survivor, the end of the fist title is a little less cruel...
in the second title your final mission is to defend a computer which then turns on the turrets and kills the aliens, ALL OF THEM!
i ll be playing trine up next, and i m still waiting for the next humble bundle to arrive.
i just fixed a nasty bug in trine where it failed to save
it s pretty easy, go to /home/yourusername/.frozenbyte/trine/profiles/default
sou will see a folder called Save. symlink it! and rename that symlink to save.
in this way the game can use both commands to acces the same folder and voila! it will save right after the first level.

i just started shadowgrounds survivor.
first impression: better graphics, deeper storyline because you cycle through different characters, each experiences the event of an alien invasion in a different way. I like the 2nd guy s accent :-), but i still miss tyler.
its also more realistic, each player can only carry 3 guns and some grenades unlike shadowgrounds 1 where tyler carried 12 guns with him...
you also don t have respawns, instead you just lose less health when you get attacked.
the only downside is it s difficulty. if your health is full you can pick the medikit and keep it with you until you need it. and when you used the special character upgrade [automedikit] they will be automatically used when your health is under 30 so its actually much too easy.... :-(
still it s worth playing, but please use at least medium difficulty while playing!

i ve finished oil-rush today, the ending of the story is predictable, kevin defeats the commander and there isn t any oil left on earth, he uses the remaining oil to search for a village where there is an alternative energy source, there it stops ans shows you the credits. so there might be an alternative-energy-rush coming in the future. but again MIGHT, i don t think it will, but when the time comes, i ll buy it!
furthermore, I m still waiting for trine 2, the only games left to play at the moment are darwinia and steel-storm burning retribution. and desura isn t offering any new interessting titles for the last few months...
I know there are a lot of great indie games in production, but I can t play them yet... :-(
