OpenBSD gaming

Brief demo of launching it on -current, single-player scenario, and spectator mode of a multiplayer game.

The game runs with the official open source engine https://github.com/miki151/keeperrl/

It can be played for free in ASCII mode, if you own the game you can have the assets:

Trying out Balatro on OpenBSD, via IndieRunner. My impression is it's closer to Luck be a Landlord than Slay the Spire... -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/thfrw

Watch me string together words to fight through dungeons and forests, always looking to find some nice long, sometimes bone-related words. Trigger warning: puns! -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/thfrw

Watch me fail to keep my Viking settlers alive in the harsh environment of Iceland. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/thfrw

The answer is a resounding yes! Very interesting game with great music and elaborate combat physics and massive customization. I was surprised how well done the diplomacy/espionage seems to be - a pleasant surprise compared to the usual subjects amongst 4X games. I got bug-free gameplay only in compatibility mode and with system cursor. I think the former reduces some of the fancier lighting effects. It's still a game that's very nice to look, listen to, and play! And you can get it on itch.io! -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/thfrw

Playing through the first stages of this extremely pretty dungeon crawler roguelite card game, realizing how much there is to the game - inventory, experience, crafting apparently... Can't wait to explore more!

Balrum is a nice RPG with survival mechanics and turn-based combat from a few years ago. Made with LWJGL3 framework, it runs without issues. IndieRunner can take care of all the setup and invocation for you. Spoiler: I failed to find rats, but encountered spiders, deer, and a bear... -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/thfrw

I manage to solve the first couple of Golden Idol cases... An interesting game with great reviews and also DLC that got released recently.

I'm dipping my toes in the harsh waters of Gravity Circuit where you are a robot defending a city overrun by a hostile army. It reminds me a lot of Steel Assault, another fairly recent FNA indie game. This one is made with Love2D. In order to run it, a few steps are required to work around the Linux AppImage format and the luasteam module that we don't have. A little bit of work, but well worth it - this is a very fun platformer in the spirit of Mega Man. One viewer on the stream even pointed out the similarities to a 1990's TV Show "Superhuman Samuray Syber-Squad"!
