Thank you! I will keep this thread updated with progress we make.
In the meanwhile, here is the latest alpha you can try out:

This is the FIRST public release of this game, so this is pretty EXCLUSIVE

Looks like a great game! Can't wait to play it. So much so that I decided to go and get the alpha version and play it. After a little work, I got it unarchived, but it wouldn't run. I ran it in terminal and found that I needed these to packages (or something like them, I can't remember exactly):

libsdl-image1.2
libsdl-mixer1.2

However, when I ran it after that, the game loaded, played the music (nice sound by the way), but just came up with pixalated screen. When run in terminal it shows this:

display resolution: (1024,768)
hedRendererOpenGL::Init() - Initializing renderer
hedRendererOpenGL::Init() - *** video card capabilities ***
hedRendererOpenGL::Init() - Maximum texture size is 2048x2048
hedRendererOpenGL::Init() - m_OpenGLNonPow2Textures = 0
hedRendererOpenGL::Init() - Display initialized at 1024x768
hedImage::LoadFromFile(hed-resources-graphics/res-aaline.png) - Loading image
Segmentation fault

Figuring that this was a fragmentation error, I extracted the archive again. Still gave the same error. Any help you could give would be great.

Of what I could see and hear though, seems like a great game.

Hi,

Can you check if this file is present:
hed-resources-graphics/res-aaline.png ?

Also, what is your system configuration? Hardware/OS?

P.S: I have now included a YouTube video of the game.

I'm all for new games and games coming to Linux, but how does this game differ from Uplink? Seems to be the same game with some new graphics. Why should I buy your game if I already purchased Uplink?

[mrobert]

@tgm4883: Under that assumption, we can simply stop buying or playing virtually any game. Ie: If you ever played a racing game, you shouldn't play another new one?

Can't wait! Love the graphics. Looks a bit like Uplink, but newer.

hed-resources-graphics/res-aaline.png does exist: it looks like a transparent red dot.
