New Free RPG: Monster 2
 

Just wanted to let you know of a new RPG called Monster 2 for Linux (and those other platforms).

Here's a link.

There's a trailer video at the link.

Here's a screenshot.

Enjoy!

It looks like those RPGMaker games. Simple, but with potential.
It can't try it right now but it seems promising.

Say I want to compile this for 64-bit, how would I go about doing that ?

I don't see any makefiles in the source directory ... only in the tgui

They're in the src/ directory. You'll want to look at Makefile.unix or Makefile.a4.unix (easier to compile). For Makefile.unix (Which uses Allegro 4.9 and therefore OpenGL) you will need a specific version of Allegro (4.9.10.1) from SVN and you also need to apply the patch named 4.9.10.1.diff in the root of the project to it. After you build Allegro (version 4.2.2 or 4.9.10.1 or both), compile TGUI (Also with Makefile.unix or Makefile.a4.unix or both). Then if you have the rest of the dependencies (FMOD is binary only and can be gotten from http://fmod.org) you can compile what's in src/.

If you need further help just ask. :)

That seems a bit too complicated, but I have gotten the 32-bit version to work. It seems like a reasonably good game, might want to submit it here:
http://happypenguin.org/

Or if you want, I can.

Thank you. Yes I agree that it is too complicated to build, but the build process has up until this point been the least of my concerns. I just wanted to make a good game that everyone can play, and focus on making it easy for developers/packagers later if the interest arises. As for happypenguin, I have already submitted the game there but haven't received a response in about 5 days, so I don't know what is going on with it. I may sent and email to someone over there and see what's going on.

They'll post it eventually, it just takes a while, maybe 2-3 weeks. There's only 1 maintainer of the site, and he may be on vacation or something.
