Hi all,
Has anybody played egoboo? Esp. on low-end Intel dual-core machines ?
http://egoboo.sourceforge.net for the uninitiated. I saw it somewhere and it's also in Debian but haven't put a toe to it (yet),
Looking for guidance.
I've tried it briefly, yes. It was a good concept, but lacked in a few areas - the controls were awkward, the maps were disjointed, and the objectives weren't really clear. Granted, this was a few years back, so it may have matured some since then.
You might also want to check out Aaron Bishop's later project, SoulFu, if you're just looking for a fun dungeon crawler to play. Difficult as hell, but more polish to it - better class system, more continuous maps, and far better controls. Not sure if it has a native Linux version, but I had no issues running it in Wine.
My project: Bits & Bots
Aargh, don't want to run wine, had heard of that project though. Would be checking your project as well. Oops, not really into puzzle games so sorry.
umm... also saw/see this http://www.penguspy.com/soulfu/
I am currently checking out the svn thing.
svn checkout http://soulfu.motherhamster.org/source SoulFu
I do see that there is an .rpm for rpm lovers as well :-

But I'm more of a .deb guy than .rpm so here goes nothing.
