… this is just an intermediary release which we weren’t really planning to do, but in true Puppygames style we missed our deadline and haven’t quite finished Titan yet. So instead I thought I’d just wrap up the various tweaks and bugfixes that are otherwise ongoing whilst Titan bakes in the oven.<\/p>\n

Here are the direct uncached links for you blog-following sorts:<\/p>\n

Windows<\/a>
\nMac OS X<\/a>
\nDebian Linux (32 bit)<\/a>
\nDebian Linux (64 bit)<\/a>
\nGeneric Linux (32 bit)<\/a>
\nGeneric Linux (64 bit)<\/a>
\nWebstart (all OSes)<\/a><\/p>\n

The Debian packages should hopefully install with a doubleclick, and put a shortcut in your applications menu under Games. If in doubt about whether to use Debian or not… well, you probably shouldn’t be using Linux \ud83d\ude42 But just grab the generic Linux packages instead, and there’s a revenge.sh<\/strong> in there you can just double-click on to make it work. Provided you have either Sun Java or OpenJDK installed. The Debian packages will automatically install OpenJDK for you – I’ll figure out how to get it to use Sun Java if it’s already installed in the next release.<\/p>\n

We haven’t yet tweaked the ordinary download page to include the Linux variants on it yet, so the Great Unwashed won’t know about them until Chaz does some twiddling.<\/p>\n

Here’s what’s otherwise changed. Sorry about the blaster noises and character speech – we’re still working on them, and the sounds in there are just placeholders.<\/p>\n

      • Crystals a little more far-flung, and a few less crystals on Titan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Internal<\/h4>\n
          \n
        • Titan colours\n<\/li>\n
        • Fiddled with sound attenuation parameters<\/li>\n
        • Quieter bashing sounds & building collapses now based on building size<\/li>\n
