Linux: New version is available in beta

Hey all,

I have uploaded Linux version 1.5.6b which is faster and doesn't have that crash caused by a leftover debug command.

I couldn't make it live because it has one problem: Clicking "Play" in the Steam library does not run it.

To run it:

Go to Library > Sector Six > Properties > Betas
Enter password: "password12345", select "beta - Beta branch".
Then "Browse local files" and run SectorSix executable or run.sh script.

I have tried several things yesterday and I can't figure out what is the problem.
If you get an error that could help me or have any ideas on what's wrong, leave a comment.

Until next time.

Update! Possibly fixed Linux + small bug fixes

Hey all!

- Fixed: Chance calculation bug. 100% wave chances and deflect chance used to not guarantee that these mechanics would pass the checks every time.
- Fixed: Font related memory leak.
- Fixed: Strange part generation bug/crash. Possibly. Watch out for weird part behavior.

Linux:

A new build has been uploaded, it runs on my virtual machine, so hopefully, it will run for everyone else.
If it doesn't work properly, please report that to me.

Have fun!

Soundtrack updated

Hey all,

A small update: Sector Six's original soundtrack (OST) that was previously a "DLC" has been ported to Steam's new soundtrack system - now it's separate from the game in your libraries.

I've also added two new tracks that weren't in the game when the OST was first uploaded back in 2016.

Enjoy =]

Linux status and set rework

Hey all,

Just a quick update on what's going on.

Linux is still broken, but I am working on it almost every day.
You can see that in detail here.

After I have fixed the Linux, I'll be spending Saturdays making set rework.

I have done some brainstorming about set rework in this discussion.
I've also got a suggestion to make a set that promotes the gameplay that resembles the old class system.

I'll share more concrete details once the set rework is in progress.

So, that's the news.

I hope the new year has been good already, until next time!

Version 1.5.5 and Linux status

Hey all,

I've just released a new version of the game:

Shadow of the Past no longer shows flags.
Text added and changed with relic rework update has been translated to BR, BE, FR, and DE.

Linux status:

It's still not possible to launch the game.

The problem is very annoying because it doesn't show any error message, so I have no idea what's wrong.

I've made a thread in Steam developer's discussions and now I'm waiting for a reply.

Hang in there.
