Xdriller is based on the gameplay of the Mr. Driller series, where you have to drill through Tetris-like screens of blocks and collect power-ups while avoiding being squashed by falling blocks. <p>Xdriller is an open source project developed by me, durmieu. This is a part time hobby done in my spare time to learn how to create all the bits that make a game (models, graphics, music, code...) and put them together in something that works. <p>The game features Tux and other characters. Characters, levels and other objects are modelled and textured using Blender, The Gimp and other open source tools. <p>Although Linux is the main development environment, the game also compiles under Windows. I tried to keep the dependencies low and the libraries used are portable: Ogre3d for the graphics, OIS for input and SDL_mixer for sound. A Mac OS X port might be possible and is in the to-do list but I have no access to a OS-X computer with 3D acceleration to try to port it. Another great feature included lately is localization support, witch is managed by Gettext. | xdriller 0.7 | new | xdriller |

His grades from his first semester in college are dismal, his relationship with his girlfriend is rocky at best, and now his dad is shipping him off to some farm for the summer so that he can "build character." What's a poor, lazy, college kid to do?</p> <p>Take control of Steve as he spends a summer in Fairbook, working on the farm, making new friends, and maintaining old relationships.</p> <p>You can raise and sell your own crops, but you'll have to work hard to keep your land well watered and free of weeds and insects, or your crops will fail. Stop by the flower shop to buy more seeds, but choose wisely. Some plants take longer to mature, and some crops will get you a better return at the market.</p> <p>There are four girls who you can spend time with. Maintain a good relationship with them by spending time with them and learning about their hopes and dreams. You can impress them by improving your skills, but if you only focus on one thing, they won't be interested. Build a strong enough friendship, and it might even bloom into romance.</p> <p>You can plan your weeks and who you spend time with using the weekly scheduler. Customize each week, spend time with who you like, or ignore everyone and work all day. Don't forget to take a break once in a while, or your health will suffer.</p> <p>The game features nine different endings that change based on your decisions throughout the game. Will Steve finally learn to be responsible? A good farmer, even? Will he make up with his girlfriend, find a new romance, or end up alone?</p> <p>It's all in your hands.</p> | The Flower Shop 1.0 | new | The Flower Shop |
