I suppose I should qualify that with an almost. Thanks to the efforts of #naev IRC regular oldtopman, we’re all set up and awaiting final approval. Once we go live, Naev will be is available via Desura on all of our usual supported platforms (32 and 64-bit Linux, Windows and Mac OS X). The Desura client is presently exclusive to Windows and Linux, but Naev will still be downloadable on OS X through Desura’s site.
For those unaware of Desura, it’s a digital distribution platform. I’ll let Desura’s own about page do the rest of the talking.
Without further ado, here’s a link to Naev’s Desura page:
Update: As of now, Naev is live on Desura!
Yeah! I wanted to suggest just that for the past few weeks!
Now, if you had a Flattr button, I’d be all over it…
First bug detected:
cat naev.sh
#!/bin/bash
# Figure out the user's machine architecture and launch the correct executable
MACHINE=`uname -m`
if [ "$MACHINE" = "x86_64" ]; then
BIN=./naev-0.5.0-linux-x86-32
else
BIN=./naev-0.5.0-linux-x86-32
fi
DIR="$( cd -P "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
cd $DIR
"$BIN"
That’s actually a shell script the Desura guys wrapped Naev with. I’ll let them know.
[...] excellent Escape Velocity clone Naev is now on [...]
i knew of the game through desura, awesome game guys! it works like a charm on ubuntu 10.10
I found the game on Desura, but I don’t like the Desura REGISTRATION AGREEMENT, it’s very bad, so I’m happy to find you had the downloads on this page awesome.
