itch.io

Gobliins 6 (like all previous episodes but Gobliiins 4) is now supported by ./play.it, to ease its installation and integration on Linux: https://git.vv221.fr/play.it/games-vv221/about/#point-and-click

This support includes the itch.io build as well as the archive provided directly by the game developer.

No official support, but:

1. extract Windows.rar contents with unar
2. cd to the new Windows/ directory
3. scummvm -p . ags
4. Enjoy ;)

I’m going to add support for Gobliins 6 to ./play.it, so you would only have to provide the Windows.rar archive on the command line and it will convert that to a native package for either Debian, Gentoo or Arch Linux.

Oops, Windows.rar is for the game build sent to Kickstarter backers. For itch.io buyers it should be gobliins6-windows.zip instead.

All other instructions should be similar.

Using the system-provided game engine instead of a shipped version is actually the best way to support Linux (after, of course, publishing the game under a free licence then getting it included in distro repositories).

You don’t even need to go to any website, installing Löve2d on Ubuntu is done with:

apt install love

Pour ceux qui n’auraient pas vu passer l’info, l’appel à participation pour le financement de Gobliins 6 (qui fera suite cette fois-ci à Gobliins 2) a été lancé : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pierregilhodes/gobliins6

My bad, I was not clear: it was simply about including the icon file as something ready to use in the archive itself, not about having the icon displayed when looking at the archive file.

But having it available to download from your server is good too, I’m going to add support for that to my packages generator so users can download this extra archive if they want an icon in their menu.

Did the icon slipped out of your mind when preparing the update?

As of 1.2.0, I still can’t find one in the Linux archive (but maybe I’m looking in the wrong place and I simply missed it).

the French localization being good is probably because we are French. :D

From my experience, it is usually far from enough to get a great localization ;)

I’ve still played only the first map (the first real map, not only the tutorial), and this is already very engaging!

I fully get the promised vibe of a “solo board game”, and I can already see how much strategic thinking can be involved in more complex maps. No doubt I’m going to spend more time with Dawnmaker soon.

PS : It’s been a long time since I played a game with a French localization so well done that at no time I even thought about switching to English.

Basically adding an icon.png file in the zip archive would already be enough, so people who want to write a launcher can easily pick it up and do with it as they please.

And people who don’t care about that won’t even notice the couple extra kilobytes ;)

Please consider including an icon file in the Linux archive, a Dawnmaker entry would look much nicer in an applications menu with a dedicated icon.

I have not checked yet if I could extract one from the Windows build, but it would feel a bit wasteful to download the full Windows archive just for an icon.

Oops, I totally missed that the full game got released one week ago. Well, as promised in the comments of the demo page, I just bought it ;)

Thanks again for making it available to us, non-Steam users!

I have only played the first scenario (teaching the basics: resources gathering and buildings), but what I saw so far is a confirmation that I am going to have a lot of fun with The Fertile Crescent.

It’s really nice to see it released at a time when we are so starved for “traditional” RTS.

Nice, they are now shown on their store page, they only took longer to be available than the Windows build.

As promised, I’m buying it right now ;)

Now that the full game is out, please consider adding the native Linux build to GOG. Or even better, sell it directly from here, on itch.io.

This game looks really interesting (the Age of Empires vibes tell me I’m going to love it), but I don’t want to register a Steam account to get the ability to buy the Linux build.

That’s great, I’m buying it as soon as it comes here!

After the release of the full game, please consider selling it here on itch.io in addition to Steam.

A DRM-free build in a store with no mandatory client is what I need to buy it when the full release is out ;)

Please consider distributing the full game on itch in addition to Steam. I would love to buy it, but will not use a platform with a mandatory client.

Gobliiins 5 fonctionne parfaitement avec ScummVM : https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Gobliiins_5

I just bought A House of Many Doors, and noticed the downloadable archive did not get any update since March 2017 (I guess this is the game version 1.2). On the other hand the Steam version got updated several times recently, up to version 2.2 in February 2024.

Could you please update the itch.io build so we too get access to the latest version of the game?

Google Drive is preventing the download of the Windows game archive, due to some rate limitation.

Could you please consider uploading it to itch.io CDN instead?
