Galactic Vice - New Real-time strategy game for Linux

Sat, 06/11/2011 - 19:18 | by Conoktra

Galactic Vice is a new, SciFi RTS game featuring two races at war. Vital mistakes made by a corrupt human empire lead to a catastrophic war against an alien race--one in which humanity is pushed to the brink of extinction.

Galactic Vice has recently reached a major development milestone, and the developers are looking to expand their team and get additional support.

Although a FREE game, it is a commercially driven project. It has its roots in Linux, and runs on the most common variants (and Windows too).

Can anybody test it, please? It requires OpenGL 3.0, but my machine doesn't support it.

Ok, I think we should wait then and not add it for now until the project becomes more mature.

I have tested it as well a few days ago.
As said by sixsixfive there isn't much for now.
All you can do is roam the map with 5 units and kill 5 enemy units that don't fight back.

  • 09:03:39 you caught me.
  • 15:27:36 Thanks, berserk, added the game & screens
  • 16:20:04 BTW, one more interesting Kickstarter project: [url]
  • 16:20:29 Linux version requires 100K donations
  • 16:21:25 not that much for a good looking RPG in my opinion
  • 10:56:58 Upd: authors said that Linux port will be released anyway, even if they don't gather 100K, so feel free to support it
