| 3507 | 2 | 2003-03-03 12:05:00 | <img src="/images/lgp_small.gif" alt="" align="right" width="50" height="50"> A <a href="/irc">transcript</a> of our IRC interview with <a href="http://linuxgamepublishing.com">LGP</a> lead guitarist Michael Simms is now available. At 2 hours, 50 minutes, this was by far our longest interview ever. Mr. Simms waxed eloquent on a number of topics, including, but not limited to: <ul> <li>Open source and "bazaar" style game development <li>Why WineX is more dangerous to Linux gaming than Microsoft <li>How the LGP team begins a new porting project <li>How approaching retailers and publishers is more difficult in a post-Loki world <li>Just how much *does* a professional Linux game programmer earn? </ul> Ports Status <ul> <li>The <a href="http://www.linuxgamepublishing.com/info.php?id=8&">Majesty</a> port is awaiting approval from Cyberlore. Release estimate: 2-3 weeks. <li>The <a href="http://www.linuxgamepublishing.com/info.php?id=13&">Ballistics</a> port is already playable, thanks to the efforts of theoddone33, relnev and svartalf. Release estimate: 2-3 months. <li>The <a href="http://www.linuxgamepublishing.com/info.php?id=14&">Bandits</a> port is expected to go very quickly once Ballistics is done, as the Ballistics engine uses a subset of the Bandits engine. <li>Fixing Majesty bugs slowed start of the <a href="http://www.linuxgamepublishing.com/info.php?id=12&">Disciples</a> 2 port, so that is only now just getting underway. <li>Michael unveiled LGP's "mystery" project: <a href="http://www.monkeystone.com">Monkeystone</a>'s <a href="http://www.hyperspacedeliveryboy.com">Hyperspace Delivery Boy</a>. A short beta will begin in a few weeks. Release estimate: 4 weeks. </ul> Other News <ul> <li>LGP came *this* close to getting the rights to publish a dedicated Linux version of <a href="http://nwn.bioware.com">Neverwinter Nights</a>, but the deal fell through at the last moment. <li>LGP will soon have a developer working full time helping get two (unnamed) open source projects up to release quality. <li>Applications for the <a href="http://happypenguin.org/newsitem?id=3459">game development company</a> will close "in the next few days". <li>LGP will never port Daikatana to Linux. </ul> There's a bazillion good things in this transcript. <a href="/irc">Grab yours now</a> | Michael Simms interview transcript | default |
