Pick up your rifle and join the Green or Grey army in their mission to send the enemy home in a box! RUNNING WITH RIFLES is an open world, top-down, tactical shooter for single player and multiplayer online, that puts you right in the middle of chaos in towns, trenches and forests turned into ruthless battlefields, controlling just one soldier in an army of several hundreds.
In a war where men die like flies and endless streams of reinforcements run to fill the void, it takes tactics and marksmanship to capture territories effectively. The open world nature of the game enables you to use a multitude of approaches to help the front line move – it's up to you to shape your role. Experience the complete arc starting as a private hardening into a high ranking officer with a squad under command, arming yourself with a variety of weapons and vehicles on your way to glory!

Guys are you releasing new builds every week? That's nice :D
I'm sure there will be a 64-bit build once the game hits 1.0. At this point, it would just be contributing unnecessarily to the headache also known as weekly/bi-weekly update releases :)
32-bit usually works fine in 64-bit Linux too, as long as the i386 dependencies are installed.
Yeah, I know -- but lib32-ogre on Arch Linux is a pain ;)
Hmm, the required version of Ogre is bundled in the RWR archive, in the lib-subfolder, it doesn't need to be installed.
Are you using launch_game -script to launch the game? The script makes the system able to find the bundled libraries.
Oh sorry, it wasn't an issue :P I like to compile from source on most things, just the 32 bit Ogre has *loads* of dependencies that make building it a bit more tedious.
The game is awesome though :D
Haha ok, fair enough :D Thanks!
