Our Kickstarter project (a game for FreeBSD)

kpedersen · #1 February 12th, 2013, 21:52

Hi all,

Hopefully you guys know me and won't see this as spam but a few of us have just submitted our Kickstarter project.

YouTube Video

KickStarter page (more vids on the tools developed for the game)

FreeBSD is a primary supported platform! Nice change huh?

If you can, please spread the word! We really need some popularity.

Quote:

In support of our favourite operating system, we will also be providing FreeBSD binaries for no charge on our website upon release.

FreeBSD is soon to be an up and coming gaming platform!

We have tried not to sound too political on the Kickstarter page but we really want to see if we can get a large number of interested players from the community of open-source operating systems. This is quite an interesting time for us.

(The following screenshots are in game... It really does look like this

)

And will run on our favorite IBM Thinkpads with no problem

It doesn't use any heavy proprietary engines, or dependencies so it will be really easy to maintain in the future.

We are also really interested in any feedback you guys have on what you can see of the game so far.

looks nice

let's see how works

Looks nice, keep up the good work. I'd really like to see a hidden object game that runs natively on FreeBSD.

Cheers guys.

Glad you don't find the art style too ugly

Even if we don't reach our funding goal, I am going to get a version out so you can give the game a shot.

(Also added a link to a YouTube (sorry!) video to the first post. KickStarter is blocked on quite a few of the networks at work).

Hi,
I'm sorry. I don't know where is port for this game. How to install it? I would like to try it. Thanks.

As far as I can tell this thing is brand new and has not yet been submitted for addition into the ports tree yet. You'll probably just have to download it from their site, which I will do as soon as I can find the time.

Awesome! I will be contributing for sure.

sossego · #8 February 14th, 2013, 00:44

The page is great, cat.
Where's the download link?

htutt · #9 February 14th, 2013, 16:58

Hi fonz,
Thanks! Ok, then. I'll wait and look forward it.

I plan to get a pre-release version out before the end of the Kickstarter deadline (26 days).

Just seen http://www.freebsdnews.net/2013/02/1...a-game-freebsd which I feel is a massive honour!

I will update this thread with a link to the port and package.

Thanks for the support guys!
