This is a LÖVE game, right?

Why is it Windows only? And why hide it away? If you're looking for people to play it...

That's what I want to know. There's no reason it should be Windows only if it's Löve.

hey guys, the reason it's windows only is cause i'm only gonna release it on windows for now. and that's cause i have very little exp/knowledge regarding mac/linux stuff. also i don't own/can't afford a mac. so if there's any issues i can't fix them...

and the reason i have the file on mediafire is cause i want some control over who downloads it. i don't want loads of people downloading the full game right before release.

;)

And your excuse for not offering a Linux version is...? Go download VirtualBox and an Ubuntu ISO, and start experimenting. There is pretty much no monetary excuse for not providing a Linux version since you can do this for free. Plus, you could always just give us the .love file, which is, by nature, cross-platform.

Also, I would think putting your download on Mediafire would give you less control versus simply putting it on your own website or whatever.

if its a download size problem, Puppy Precise have a size of 165.2M and you can burn it on an USB key with unetbootin or launch it in virtualbox. his package manager is compatible with ubuntu ones, so latest .deb package will work fine

if the problem is just that you don't want to supply your source, say it clearly, the problem will just be that only windows users will try your game

well as far as i'm aware you can't really hide your source with love anyway, so i'm not worried about someone seeing my code.

that's what i want at the moment ;). i don't want people coming back with bugs that may be purely mac or linux related. right now i just want to get the game finished and released on a platform that i am familiar with. after that i can look into getting it out on other platforms.

the problem isn't money in this case, it's my lack of exp/knowledge. i don't want to release a game (that people have to pay for) on a platform where i will most likely be confused by bug reports if they come up. wouldn't be fair in my opinion.

thanks for the tips and download links though guys ^^
