Anybody else using Ubuntu 6.10 or 7.04?

I'm helping to develop a game engine, right now and we're finally to the point of compile. Is anybody willing to give us a hand with testing? Basically, all I need is your email address, the stats on your computer, and the time that you'd be able to run a daily test for us (depending on the computer, takes about two hours to download and compile from scratch). We're looking for specific error codes, and if you're savvy, potential causes/fixes. If you do get a successful compile from start to finish, we're looking for which of our demos work and what the framerates are. Feel free to send me a pm or email me at my email and I can get you the necessary install file, and I'll give you instructions on setting up your particular environment. Thanks for reading this far, and I hope to pick up a couple willing testers soon!

(by the way, the game engine is open source)

deleted linux off my puter as I had too many operating systems (xp 64, vista 64, mac osx, ubuntu, redhat)

Now its just vista 64.

Anyway....sorry for that useless input..but I'm curious..what kind of game?

[drummingpariah]

zombies. multiplayer. focused on survival. dynamic, persistent world. too many fun little features that are easy to develop but add a lot to the environment to list. almost in the same vein as Fallout, in the complexity and ambient fullness of the world. The game itself isn't to a playable prototype, but the engine is coming to the point of content development. This is a pretty huge step, we're working on getting a complete QA department setup, but for now we just need kind open-source supporters. If you're interested in checking out the tech we're using (it's cross-platform, osx, windows, *nix) google python-ogre. I'll be publishing a zombie survival webcomic soon (meaning < 3 months) and that should at least give an idea of what the game is about. doesn't look like anything big will come of this unless we end up with funding. Even though we're micro-budget (we're under $1m in budget, just to give an idea, but the average game is between $5m - $50m) it's hard to raise money. Wish us luck, and if there's news worth reporting, I'll make sure you guys know!
