I'm having issues running this on my raspberry pi. Would you consider adding a .p8 file to the premium download?
Give me a little while to check it out on my RPi, and see if it needs a recompile. Which OS is your RPi using?
I'm running Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye). I'm not particularly versed in this stuff, but I suspect the core issue is that it's a CM4, using an aarch64 chipset. Pico8 has a 64bit version that runs great, which is why p8 files.
Could you try the new upload I added, “premium_nano4x_v1-0-0_64_raspi.zip”? If this works I’d appreciate knowing as I might need to go back and recompile a lot of my older games.
I checked through some of the build notes and it wasn’t until later versions that Pico8 supported 64bit, which the original builds were done beforehand. I’m hoping this fixes your specific problem.
I can run the new build, thank you!
Thank you for letting me know about the problem!
Oh, and a lot of the core code is available for to view over at https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=43838, that’s effectively the browser version which excludes the paid for content.
This seems cool?
I do feel like there was something missing from this (except music, still learning how to do good music). I had thought about unit types, possible research branches but most of those usually just mean bigger numbers when it comes to fight. Diplomacy is too big a concept, and ultimately you just end up fighting. So only bit there might be 2v2 style games.
Still wracking my brain what that missing element might be, if i figure it out I will add it to the game.
I have some vague plans, at some point in the future, to take the basic concepts of this and expand ot out to a civilization style game (though again, minimalist style).
It was great i couldnt figure it out very easily so good job on the this was nice it was missing a more positive approach to the story, all in all this is a awsome game
