Version: 44
Severity: wishlist
Tags: newcomer


Serious Sam game engine has been GPL'ed today.

"But not the Linux port, according to Ryan Gordon (icculus).
Somewhat hoping it's an oversight and not some legal hangup."

Let's hope that this bit will get sorted-out.

"if you want to open or modify levels from Serios Sam Classic:
The First Encounter or The Second Encounter
(including most user-made levels), you will have to copy the game's resources
(.GRO files) into the engine folder.

You can buy the original games on Steam, as a part
of a bundle with Serious Sam Revolution
 ( http://store.steampowered.com/app/227780 )"
