We love you Alec! Or at least your work. ;)

It'd be hard enough for me to release a week's work on something, let alone several years worth, where it's nearly become part of you! But it means a lot to the OS community; hopefully you'll see results!

Nice!  Appreciate the work you did on releasing the source. We know you're super busy working on Marian, so thanks!

Let's first worship it, and then tear it apart. ^.^

The source code, not Alec. But let's worship Alec anyway. :3

And... how did I miss this post until just now...
Hopefully, I can educate myself with all of the messy code from the 4 games. Also, THANK YOU! Now all I need is to change my Mod DB's license and get it hooked up to Aquaria. :D
Linux to play Aquaria and for power, Windows for my dev stuff, Chromium for school surfing. I can't browse the grade system >:D. Join me on the bit-blot IRC channel.

It just occurred to me- this should probably be stickied.  ;D

It should also be on Bit Blot's front page.

Is there a someplace that someone has put a basic write-up for getting from the source code as it's provided to compilation?  Like, what compilers or IDE were used for development/can currently compile the code, what dependencies we need that aren't included, etc.  Something to help out the simple minded, you know.

If someone knows of such a document, please provide a link?  Thanks.

There's a mailing list available (run by icculus), that's probably a good place to start with questions.

Erm, just curious... perhaps I shouldn't be posting this but couldn't one build the source and then download the game from Ambrosia, getting the complete game for free?

I was under the impression that the demo already has the full engine, just different (less + nag) content? :S
