So yay, I finally got the tutorials to work properly. As promised (and I don’t feel late at all…) the game is released!

No AI, so the solo mode is deactivated. The rest should be fine.

Get it on the submission page (Windows and GNU/Linux).

I hope the Windows version works. I crosscompiled from Linux, and although it ran in Wine, it was super slow.

I don’t have new screenshots, except tutorial text, so I’ll put back old ones. Because, heh, a “final” log entry should have screenies…

Here’s the readme:

GNU/Linux notes
The game comes with a precompiled binary (evolcore.so) created on a Ubuntu system. If it doesn’t work on your particular distribution, compile evolcore.c into a shared library evolcore.so, linked against the libraries mentioned earlier.
