Pyra TWO MONTHS - Now on Steam and itch.io!

[PokeParadox]

Going to pick this up soon!
Nice work - it's an honour to be slashed to death by @EvilDragon - if that's what it takes to make Pyra successful!

UPDATE: Now purchased I'll give it a go after work!

 

[undexsym]

Is it open source?

I'm afraid not.

Just watched a little of the Russian vid. That guy started with a spare battery, and also picked up a stamina upgrade before ban slammer. My game doesn't give me them. Is it random?

Yes, they're random drops.

Another video from another channel!

 

[undexsym]

How's it going? I'm dying to know what you all think

How's it going? I'm dying to know what you all think

Quite well, I've made it to

The room with all of the poison

and have unlocked the door on the ground floor. Then came all of the

Instant death traps

and I died a bunch of times and called it a day. Having fun, only one additional crash to desktop, yet again involving a

Spoiler

Mimic Chest

So I'm pretty confifent that it's what's causing most of the crashes.

Congrats on getting that far.
I've uploaded a patch that should hopefully fix the crashes.

Here's an itch.io log when I tried to launch from my Debian laptop. I did have Sandbox mode on, guessing it has something to do with that. No idea if that's something yourside or Itch's (this was submitted up to them). I'll turn sandbox off and try again

Ah, this is probably due to my ignorance. This is my first non-pandora linux release. Is it standard practice for games to automatically install their dependencies on linux? If so, how do you do it?
How does it run on your laptop and what are the specs? And yeah, I can imagine using a trackpad for this game is just a miserable experience.

The youtubers I mentioned have uploaded more videos of the game

 

[pmprog]

Is it standard practice for games to automatically install their dependencies on linux? If so, how do you do it?

I have no idea, though I would kind of expect that experience when running through the itch app... wasn't a big deal.

It's an Asus PU301L, which is under their business range. It's an I5 with onboard graphics

 

[elvissteinjr]

Ah, this is probably due to my ignorance. This is my first non-pandora linux release. Is it standard practice for games to automatically install their dependencies on linux? If so, how do you do it?

I don't know about standard practice, but how would that even go down? Doing it would be distribution-specific and at that point you'd be providing package files instead where the package manager would take care of the dependencies.
Checking for presence of the libraries or otherwise handling it gracefully with graphical user error sounds doable at least... you run into the question what to use to display that though.

Then again, I'd dare to say someone playing games on Linux without a set of SDL2 libraries is a rare case these days. The dependencies should be noted somewhere, however.

 

[pmprog]

My system had the core libSDL2, but none of the additionals (Mixer, Gfx, Net)

 

[ingoreis]

Bought it too over Steam..thank you..i will try it now

 

[undexsym]

I'll just put a note on the itch.io page then.

Everyone, please leave a review! It'd be nice to get a score generated.

 

[levi]

Ah, this is probably due to my ignorance. This is my first non-pandora linux release. Is it standard practice for games to automatically install their dependencies on linux? If so, how do you do it?

Not if you download random binaries off a server. Mostly those come with instructions on the website that suggest package names to install on popular linuxes. But if you install a package or some kind of ports-like release then those generally suck in the dependencies when they install (or by the time they build in the case of ports releases). But for general binary releases, it's not easy to capture all of the package names you might need on different linuxes, so you leave it to the user to source those parts.

 

[λ the β-Redex Reducer]

Too bad that it's closed source but it looks really cool. At least the binaries can be downloaded, so that's pretty cool as well. I'd love to play Two Months™ on the Pyra but my current computer is no good for these kind of games.

 

[MTPDA]

I'm currently successfully playing it on a 6th gen U series i3 with 4GB of ram at 2k resolution (the built in monitor is 2k for some reason), it runs playably on it (occasionally slows down to 25 fps in big/busy rooms) the lowered fps while playing doesn't really affect gameplay negatively in my experience.

 

[EricB]

It is pretty fun. I played over 10 hours. Never played a souls like before so the learning curve was pretty steep. Made it to a skeleton key and found a boss that I will probably die a lot too before I defeat it haha.
Hope to play it on the Pyra in the near future!

 

[PokeParadox]

So I played a few hours over the weekend.
I died.... a lot!
I managed to get lots of upgrades before re-reading the controls and realising there is a lock-on button.
After that I beat Ban Slammer in a few more attempts...!

I like the game - I love all the in-jokey lore. Even though I kept dying I still felt the need to continue, Great!

I'm looking forward to you fighting yourself

Hmmm... can the lock on button be remapped? I don't like using the buttons on the stick (assuming thats what the xinput button is)

Not yet. At some point in the near future I'd like to do a full keyboard and controller remapping thing, but I need a little break from development...
