New hacking GAME in the works!

[PSP-Heaven]

If you have ever played Uplink or Street Hacker, than this is the game for you! The name is Nanobyte Online, yes you heard me, its an ONLINE hacking game, and not browser based either. Also, the Alpha is totally offline to test for engine bugs, but any public betas would be totally ONLINE! Believe me its great, it simulates an OS environment, and its pretty darn awesome! Right now its in the late Alpha to Pre-Beta stage. Now, join the community and immediately download Alpha 8.6 and enjoy the game! Also, I've made a guide for the game, for starters, and will be continuely updating it! So join here in the forums:

[PSP-Heaven]

Ah, ill give you a rapidshare link: http://rapidshare.de/files/37262747/...line_.zip.html

The Alpha and Beta would be free, but the full might be a one time fee for online.

That link is valid.

Concerning a linux port, the owner has this to say (direct post link here):

I personally can't see it happening, Nanobyte Online uses.

- NET 2.0
- Winsock
- Directx9

They are major Windows dependant software. :O

That seems to be a common excuse used by developers to justify their software being Windows-only. Apparently nobody realizes that they can just use cross platform stuff instead, like OpenGL instead of DirectX.

And since this is still in alpha phase, it wouldn't be too late to restart the project and not use anything that's exclusive to a certain operating system. But this person most likely knew that the things he was choosing to use would only run on Windows before he even started the project, so he probably doesn't care enough to recode everything. If he actually wanted it to be playable on many operating systems then he would've just not used DirectX and such from the start.

People usually will offer you the "solution" and tell you to dual boot or run the program in Wine or Cedega. The problems with dual booting is that it's really annoying having to restart your computer just to play a game, and then restart again when you've finished. Some people don't want to buy Windows (which is quite expensive by the way) when they'd only use it to play games. The problem with trying to run things in Wine or Cedega is that you usually can't, and if you're actually able to, the game most likely won't even run at a playable speed.

its well past the alpha phase and into the beta phase. but i agree with you about the cross platform support in stead of only using micrsoft products
