If there are two individuals in the Linux game scene today that they brought a lot and very good Free games to all Linux users, these should be Michael Speck of
LGames and Bill Kendrick of
NewBreedSoftware. Their games have been played not only by Linux users, but by users on all major platforms via the portability of the
SDL game library. Today, we interview Michael Speck, regarding his games, his opinions about the Linux game market, about Linux's performance as a multimedia platform, his future plans and much more.
Did someone ever thought about doing a game distro?
CD-ROMS included in magazines sell very well here in Brazil and, at least in my case, I found installing SDL (and other things a F/X-enriched file manager demanded) way too difficult (in fact, I gave up).
Maybe we could go to next level: standardize on some principal Linux distros and go for game distros, office-software distros, multimedia distros etc. which would be added onto those main Linux distros.
Of course, RedHat, Mandrake or Suse could do this, but I think we'd have more competition with independent distributors of an specific class of software.
