I’ll be uploading the videos to our YouTube channel as well. Vimeo’s upload and processing is usually faster since they have fewer users uploading.

We chose 32b initially mainly because we know that the teams bidding for the work can do what is needed to get it there. Plus, it’s the base version that Steam is targeting as well with their beta. Most of the games on Steam for Linux are 32b games, but (of course) run on 64b. They’re just not optimized for it.

We’re doing an internal review of the codebase as well to put together estimates on the time it would take. We also Since the tools are more robust and require more work than a game, we really want to do the 64b port right!

Yeah…64-bit is their stretch goal, but I guess once 32-bit will be made – porting the open source project to 64-bit will be much easier.

Damn vimeo videos hardly ever play properly for me

Also they are proposing to port ot 32 bit ubuntu, wtf 32 bit? I am pretty sure most 12.04 installs are 64bit, who (besides windows users) installs 32bit these days?

I play the previous RPG game on Ubuntu 64-bit, it also uses Adobe Air – but runs without problems at all for me.

Sigh … I backed up to $60 until the demo has been released.
This game uses Adobe’s Air. And I know that this tech is not working on my 64Bits Archlinux without messing a LOT the system.
I’m so sad they use such a illfated product from Adobe.

I’ve sent a message to them and they promised a Linux client.
Made should wait till they update it on their kickstarter page.

They can still make money out of it (provided they can make a release), if it gets included in a future Humble Bundle.

Indeed, and I love that they are doing it so more people can enjoy the game. It speaks to me of a love for what they are trying to create.
