Linux version (AGS?)
« on: June 09, 2016, 06:56:53 PM »
I was wondering if technobabylon was yet released as a Linux version anywhere, and if not if it is also an AGS game? If it is an AGS game without plugins I can just run it with the regular Linux runtime.

Thank you!

It is built using AGS, but sadly it uses some proprietary plugins. Some have (non-functional) replacements to at least get the game starting: https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/issues/205#issuecomment-128658046

TMM, you can play Technobabylon on Linux without any issue.
I finished the game with my own runtime ;)

I just thought I'd update this topic by saying that technobabylon works great with the AGS engine binary I compiled from github. It should be possible to release a Linux version officially too if wadjeteye is still interested in supporting our little platform.

It works fine through Proton on Steam on some systems and OK'ish on some.

I suppose the native port for Linux is still in the works though?

Thanks for the patience concerning the Linux  port.
