Tuxracer 1.0 Retail Version Finished

Posted by timothy on from the snow-games-are-the-best dept.

Nailer writes "Tuxracer 1.0 is complete Version 0.6 has been downloaded over a million times, and 1.0 looks like it will kick its older siblings arse. This latest version has a massively improved set of features compared to the earlier versions, including multiplayer support, far more detailed tracks, new hazards (giant boulders, better trees, vehicles, and entire towns with roads, houses, castles, fountains, etc) new players (a girl tux, a funky polar bear, and others), split screen multiplay, internationalization, and probably a whole bunch of other stuff. Take a look at the screenshots and trailer movie. The initial release of the game will be proprietary for Windows and Linux (and perhaps Mac), but some of the code from 1.0 will be released as Open Source. Sunspire are still looking for a publisher, but should be taking direct orders soon. And when they do, I'm buying it."

  1. What's with Wil Wheaton? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Wil Wheaton is a fucking poseur. I can't stand how you fucktards get all drippy and excited every time that his name is mentioned. Ever since that stupid fucking Slashdot interview, all of you twerps have been ready to suck his dick. Don't you understand? It's all a sham! Your little hearts fluttered when he chose the EFF as his sponser on The Weakest Link, but the kid runs fucking Windows 2000. I mean, come on! Rob Malda had to run an anti-Microsoft "news" website for two years before anyone would believe that he only used Windows "for games," and you fall for Wil Wheaton's schtick immediately, without question? That's proof that the only intelligent posters left on Slashdot are us trolls.

    He was a bad actor, and now he's a wannabe geek. The fact that he was a minor celebrity five years ago is immaterial. Maybe the new Linux mascot should be Alf! We should have Tony Danza on the new GNOME committee!

    Wil Wheaton is such a moron that someone guessed his Slashdot account password and started crapflooding with it within a week. It's a newbie UID, by the way: Wil hadn't even heard of Slashdot until the interview!

    It's almost fitting, though: both Linux and Wil Wheaton are immature hacks unsuited for work in the Real World. Both are yesterday's news. Both are pointless. Hey, maybe Wil does have a place on Slashdot!
