In the opening post in this thread... Anyway, I'm a happy customer regardless. ...and now bizarrely, after just a couple of days... It's clear from your original post that you were unhappy This is why I love forums. And why I vanish from them for months at a time. Stop being a whiney, entitled bitch...

OK xander, so I commented that there are things in a box . I called these things awesome. I observed that I didn't need them in order to play the game. I paid for these things willingly, and am actually happy that I did so. "Whiney, entitled bitch" is a bit of a stretch. If I'd just bought...

Hmm, so I have just spent £30 on supporting my favourite indie game developers, allowing them to continue making awesome games. fix'd Thanks for the repair job, that looks a lot better. It's why I bought it, as well as my 1xDW+poster+soundtrack & 2xDC. (Remind me not to comment flippantly in th...

Hmm, so I have just spent £30 on some foam, paper and metal. Awesome foam, paper and metal, granted, but a little unnecessary if beta tester rewards were on the horizon. If only Uplink was in the box, too. One day I'll learn not to impulse buy. One day... Good points all round about the licensing is...

Beta = freebie?

Having just ordered the MW tin, I was wondering if beta testers have previously received free licenses (DW/DC testers)? I'm sure any attempt to ration them would be more contentious than who gets their name on the credits list, and maybe free licenses would just be seen as too costly for a small com...

4-bit (maybe? None of these are likely to get used anyway!) Could make more sense to those who like overly-literal titles if there are 4 players, but with codename:Multiwinia being lo-fi in a kind of sub-8-bit-sensibilities way it might be worth focussing away from the wars, away from the title Darw...

Same issues I'm afraid - I removed the replacement icon and the .desktop entry, the update was detected as intended but the resulting .desktop file still wanted to load "defcon.svgz" with no path information, and I am still not sure if Gnome will be happy with gzipped icons - *every* other...

I needed to replace defcon.svgz with an uncompressed defcon.svg (Thanks to Inkscape...) and sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/defcon.desktop to edit the menu entry and change the "icon" path accordingly. Seems Gnome doesn't like to use svgz at my end. Still, I now have a nuke icon, which ...

Good point - I forgot that Darwinia just had single-level demos :( Hopefully this will be different with Multiwinia, and it would be great anyway to have IV demos made more available since plenty of Ubuntu users won't like to dig around in their systems to make things work. The package manager is a ...

The icon was one point I was going to raise - I have a generic window icon on my menu...? I checked the launcher and it is looking for defcon.svgz, but evidently not finding it. I don't know of a new version for Linux yet, fingers crossed it will appear quickly - in the meantime, have you considered...

Excellent work. Downloaded & installed fine through Synaptic, dependency detected (defcon-sounds) - many thanks for splitting this in 2 so the upgrade downloads will be smaller! Once installed, it detected my settings and license key on first run, and seems identical so far to my previously-inst...

Oh please say YES to repo hosting of Defcon! Auto-updating, nice icons and integration with the Games menu, more people might get the demo, another reason to evangelise about Ubuntu... Damn, I just realised how sarcastic that sounded. I really AM an Ubuntu user who preordered Defcon way back when, a...

Bundle *without* sounds.dat?

Hi Having followed the betas, and preordered the Windows version, I really don't need to download just under 60MB when I know I have most of these precious bytes on my shiny CD... Any chance of a "slim" download? Some of us still have monthly caps on our broadband, y'see, or just don't wan...
