In case anyone is interested? Shadowgrounds:Survivor

I am testing as a beta tester for LGP on their new port in progress, Shadowgrounds :Survivor on Arch x86_64, if you want, I'll keep the community updated on what I see as long as it doesn't violate my agreement with LGP for testing.

Sure, why not?

I played some really awful zombie shooting flash games that made me a bit weary of the genre. Maybe I should play X-com again.

Well, number one, it's a top-down shooter with RPG elements, nice graphics too, destructable enviroment and you can even play kick-the-crate! LOL

Re: In case anyone is interested? Shadowgrounds:Survivor

Sorry all for posting in the wrong forum, that means you Skottish :-). Had a few problems with installing and running under x86_64 Arch, got those sorted out in the AUR, most of the bugs seem to be coming from the inclusion of an older model installer, next beta should help fix that. I haven't played too far into it yet, taking things slow and keeping notes, but remarkably few bugs have popped up. The game play is ...........different than I used to, it's almost like an arcade game, I died once and noticed that I had "5 Respawns Remaining". As I said, it's a top down shooter, most resolutions are supported, and I don't even know if this is supported, but it has options for PhysFX! As for the game itself, think of Aliens vs. Colonial Marines in flavor. More later.

One more Fps? Arcade gameplay? That sounds like pretty fast paced game.

Good good, this is good news.

Beta 1 is finished and we are waiting for the bugfixes before Beta 2 is released, all in all a very good game.
