Hi ! I just acquired H.P. under Kubuntu Linux. I noticed it didn't start as Desura couldn't find the game executable.
It turned out this was a spelling mistake : Linux is case sensitive. The filename is written with a capital "H" but desura, when starting it is looking for "hyperspace" with no capital H ;-)
BTW : is it possible to configure keys ? (I use it in an arcade cabinet but buttons are "hardcoded" ;)
Hey, the game really was entertaining so I even made a video about it (in french) which you can see here Youtube.com
I hope this will help french people discover indie game like this one. And again, Gamieon, good job with your game !
Is it coming to Linux?
I suggest you post that question on Twitter ?
Good idea bro!
I think we will see a news feed soon: Hyperspace Pinball released on Linux :-)
I will try to create a PDF step-by-step guide, for installing games during a developer giveaway. So you can keep your game after the giveaway, linked to your account.
I think this comment will have added value so here it goes:
I have tried to install and uninstall these games and no problem here. I remember that the permanent linking started right after the Chester developer giveaway when the developer was searching for an answer to the problem together with Desura. Not long after this Desura started permanent linking, once a game has to be paid for, after a giveaway, the permanent link is set.
Proof: I50.tinypic.com a have a cross marked at the Full version of the game in the Desura client. Check my profile for more proof: Desura.com .
You are referring to the following comment:
Desura.com
UPDATE:
Just recieved an email from Desura: the game will still be playable to everyone who installed it, but unfortunately if you uninstall you will not be able to reinstall.
As my intention was to give the game permanently I'll be working out some sort of solution to get permanent keys to everyone who wants one for a short period of time.
Once the sale is over I'll put it back on 90% sale for those who are interested in just grabbing it for $1 and then start to work on a way to give those free keys out!
I must admit the info I provided right now is seldom to be found on the net, but if anyone asks you can point them here. I have noticed that Hyperspace Pinball shows up in your game inventory. Nice :-)
As for VPV it could have been that a download command was executed as with every free game, but no registration was made in the database for a game purchase. Because you normally don't buy a free game. Had this couple of times, were I had to click on 'Install game' multiple times before it turned to 'play game' and the game got linked to my account. The Desura client will only listen to a download command, initiated on the game page an not necessarily link the game to your account.
