Iniziare
Ecco, anche a me piacerebbe iniziare a giocare di ruolo in famiglia, con mia moglie e le mie figlie. Mi consigliano B11 King’s festival, B3 il palazzo della principessa d’argento, Klotos.
Vedremo…
Wonder Boy or Monster Boy?
I already posted one a video of Wonder Boy. Now on the same “plot” or genre there’s Monster Boy and the cursed kingdom, “created in cooperation with series creator Ryuichi Nishizawa”
Wonderful. Even if proprietary. And for “plain old computers” is served throught Steam. Ok, it runs on Linux too. Bi-wonderful. So I finally installed steam, even if I perfectly knew that such a platform is laden with Digital Restrictions Management (DRM). Yes, digital handcuffs. Luckily my guardian angel is on me:
So Monster Boy is not available on Linux. No worries, the other, the one which can switch at will to a cute 8-bit version, Wonder Boy and the dragon’s trap is available on GoG.Com. Without digital handcuffs. So it will yours forever (even if it is still proprietary). But it works on Linux. So my choice is made and I suggest you Wonder Boy. For another reason, too:
Your daughters can play it as… Wonder Girl!
Aquaria, il codice e l'arte
Preferisco che il software sia libero. C’è un solo settore dove la mia convinzione è meno solida: i videogiochi. D’altro canto in un videogioco la parte artistica ha spesso un peso comparabile a quella del programma. Perfino Richard Stallman lo riconosce:
Il contenuto artistico dei videogiochi è una diversa faccenda, dal momento che non si tratta di software.
Pertanto ho pagato con gioia i 10US$ che l’autore di Aquaria chiede per un sacco di motivi:
- il gioco è bellissimo
- la protagonista è un’elfa marina
- Dopo pochissimo tempo l’autore ha rilasciato il codice con licenza libera ed ora il codice è su GitHub
- perchè il gioco è privo di manette digitali (DRM)
SuperTuxKart
SuperTuxKart
SuperTuxKart is a 3D open-source arcade racer with a variety characters, tracks, and modes to play.
It’s a beautiful game, with a little glitch: to join a multiplayer you have to push the “Select” button which usually is the “Fire” or space on a keyboard. Well, on Android… where is the “Select” button?
Of course, there’s no “select”. You must use a gamepad to play SuperTuxKart multiplayer on Android.
At least until version 1.0
I’m downloading version 1.1 right now, I’ll let you know if it does change anything…
