Ah, yes. My memory beseeches me. You will need the gnome-session package as well-- and if you want the 'full' GNOME experience, you can also install the gdm package and use that over lightdm. (GDM is GNOME's desktop manager-- it handles logging in to your PC, etc.)

I took a look at Parabola and that's not a direction I want to go. With Trisquel's Ubuntu base it gives me an OS that I'm familiar with and stays on the higher end of the reliability scale. I'm guessing that 3.14+ may be compatible with a future Trisquel release. 3.12 is cool for me as I'm

To use GNOME 3.12 on Trisquel, you'll need to add the ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging PPA (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging), update your apt-cache (sudo apt-get update) and then, finally, install GNOME 3. (sudo apt-get install gnome-shell) You can't run 3.14 or 3.16 on T

I'll actually probably publish the repo at a much lower level than the goal. Almost certainly will do so if it reaches $25,000, for instance. But regardless, sure, anyone who gets a copy of the game can have a copy of the git repo as well, in the event that I don't publish it.

I wouldn't call it an "engine remake". It's an entirely new game. Similar in some respects to SuperTux et al, but with various differences. For example: - The completed game should be a lot shorter than SuperTux's ambitious goal, and have a lot less features. This means the game will be finis
