Humble Frozen Synapse Bundle

[dubigrasu]

Here we go again!
http://www.humblebundle.com/

Be sure to pay what you'd like for Frozen Synapse, an excellent turn-based strategy game for Mac, Windows, and Linux, while supporting two worthy charities. If you decide to pay above the average price, you can also receive the Humble Frozenbyte Bundle, which includes Trine, Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds: Survivor, the Jack Claw prototype, and a Splot preorder.

Yay!

Not sure about Frozen Synapse itself, looks interesting, though.
But Humble Frozenbyte Bundle for under 5$ average? Yay!

Bought!

Frozen Synapse looks great, and I will probably offer my second Frozenbyte Bundle to my girlfriend (I think she might like Trine :p).

Two games have already been added, the first being Trauma http://www.traumagame.com/
and the second being SpaceChem http://store.zachtronicsindustries.com/ ... /spacechem

For convenience, here are the instructions to get SpaceChem going:

Code: Select all

urpmi mono mono-wcf mono-winforms libSDL libSDL_image1.2_0 libSDL_mixer1.2_0
tar xfv SpaceChem-1012-hib.tar.gz
mkdir temp && cp SpaceChem-i386.deb temp/ && cd temp && ar x SpaceChem-i386.deb && tar xf data.tar.gz && mv opt/zachtronicsindustries/spacechem/ ./

Then you can move the spacechem/ directory to where you want it, and remove the temp/ directory.
To run SpaceChem, you need to change into the spacechem/ directory and start it like this:

Code: Select all

mono SpaceChem.exe

I'm glad to see that many of the games (3/7) this time download as source, hopefully they will run better. I had (and am still having) a lot of trouble with the static binaries provided by the last Bundle.
And of course there's the added bonus of downloading ~3 MB instead of ~1 GB.

[doktor5000]

The source does not make up for the full game, it's mainly the game engine.
Actually there's only one source download for a final game, that would be the
Shadowgrounds/Shadowgrounds Survivor engine. You'd still need all the game
data files like textures, sounds, videos and such stuff, which is not open-source.

Jack Claw is a prototype and has never been released and is the second source download.

Aww nuts.

[doktor5000]

Could you please tell which troubles you had with the games so we can eventually get those solved?
Please in the thread for the other bundle.

I had already done that.
