Public Linux Depots:- Starship Rubicon - Linux [1.54 M]
Major technical upgrade for modern systems.I've spent the last few months upgrading the build system for Starship Rubicon to get it to run more nicely on modern systems (compiling it with Blitzmax NG as opposed to the depreciated vanilla Blitzmax).
If you've had problems getting it running on Windows 10, this should be the fix for you. Or a 64-bit linux system. Or, like, any mac.
Joystick support is dropped. If you really want it, you can opt back into the 2.2 branch.
Changes:
- Moved from a 32- to a 64-bit build.
- OpenGL is now the graphics driver for all platforms.
- Locked the render resolution to 1280x720 so the game doesn't play differently on different sized screens.
- Lancer AI has been changed to hit-and-run instead of circle-and-shoot.
- Dialogue size resized from 2x to 1.5x (I'm still not happy with how it looks, but it was too big)
- Reef boss now is layered underneath shots instead of on top of them.
- New terrain hazard: spinning beam-shooting mines a la mission impossible.
- Umm, some other enemy tweaks that I didn't record well. I think the advanced interceptor has less kickback so they're a little easier to hit, and advanced beam turret might turn slower?
There may be a new bug where some background graphics glitch out. I think I've tweaked things to fix them, but let me know if you see them (a screenshot would be helpful!).
Stayin' alive,
Wick

In Starship Rubicon, Earth has been casually destroyed by a mysterious race of space-faring invertebrates. You are a fighter pilot whose cryopod has been collected by a possibly-insane AI, who has placed you in the unenviable position of being humanity’s savior. Shanghaied and alone, you must gather the remaining human survivors and traverse the surprising biodiversity of deep space to find a new home.

Key Features
- Quick Gameplay - Pilot your ship in fast-paced shoot-em-up, featuring a unique approach to arcade physics and controls.
- Customize Your Ship - Upgrade your ship with a Tetris-styled hangar bay as you find weapons and items on your quest.
- Randomized Universe - Make your way through a diverse galaxy as you encounter interesting new lifeforms. Each play session generates a new path of enemies, allies, and items.
- Casual Roguelike - When your ship blows up, that's the end of the line for that game. However, if you collect enough crystal shards by the end of a sector you can save your ship to re-launch it on another level.
- A Fleet Of Ships To Play - Do you prefer fast ships for run and gun? Do you like something that takes a punch but isn't as agile? Start the game with 3 different ships and spend shards to unlock more ships with unique abilities!
- Mod-friendly - Since ships and weapons are exposed in simple external .lua scripts, modding and creating your own content only requires a text editor!
