Projekt Weltherrscher - "Phase 2"

[Sascha Willems]

I finally got my hands on a device running Mac OSX and setup my development toolchain there and started porting the game to Mac OSX last weekend!

And since Mac OSX is pretty similar to linux it didn't take ages to get the first build up and running on Mac OSX (a great feeling after that linux port took ages :



So prepare for a Mac OSX release coming in the not too distant future

P.S. : Releasing the game on Desura was one of the best things I ever did. Lots of new players (currently over twelve hundred active installs, not too shabby for an open beta hardcore strategy game ) and lots of valuable feedback.

Yay! Wait, define "device"? lol

1,200 huh? that's pretty darn good.

Any hopes of seeing it on the Mac App Store?

New beta release #201 with native linux x86_64 support

I've just updated the open beta of Projekt "W" - Phase 2 to version 201.

Changes :

• Added a linux x86_64 release. From now on all upcoming releases will also be available for linux x86_64.
• Fixed a bug that stopped ecology buildings from getting finished.
• Fixed wrong global project calculation for minimum required funds to progress.
• (Linux) The sound library (libbass.so) is now loaded dynamically. If there was a problem loading it you get a corresponding message instead of the game not starting.
• (Linux) Executable bits for the start script and the game’s binary have been set.
• Fixed lots of spelling and grammar errors.

Download :

• (Windows) Projekt “W” – Phase 2 – Open Beta rev. #201 (~83 MBytes)
• (Linux, i386) Projekt “W” – Phase 2 – Open Beta rev. #201 (~90 MBytes)
• (Linux, x86_64) Projekt “W” – Phase 2 – Open Beta rev. #201 (~90 MBytes)

The Mac OSX release is still in testing, but it's perfectly playable and all the OS-related stuff is implemented. Currently I only have access to one mac (a mac mini in our IT-department) so I may seek out for some mac users to test it before releasing it to the public. So no ETA on that version yet, but it's almost there


P.S. : My Desura Stats tell me that more than 2.000 people have installed the game. Not to shabby, eh
