Why don't you include the intended version of the OHR with the game?

[moogle1]

Because I'm a lazy punk, and also because I hate having fifty versions of GAME in my OHR folder.

[sdhawk]

Better than making your players run to the ohr page to download whatever newest GAME they have this time. Plus, there's the constant problem of backwards (and forwards if someone doesn't read what the intended version is) compatibility. If someone was unfamiliar with the OHR they'd have no idea what to even play it with since the readme has no mention of the OHR page in it and it's buried god-knows-where on CP.

I agree with this. Include the .exe or I won't play it. All OHR games should.

[moogle1]

I disagree. Don't play it, then.

[rinku]

Madness. A game designer should allow people who do not have the OHR installed to play their game.

[moogle1]

I'd agree, if this were the final release. However, I'm not going to package three more files with the demo just so I can save Rinku five minutes.

[rinku]

Understandable, but it'd take a *lot* more than five minutes for me to find out which version of the OHR I need, figure out where it is on a site I haven't visited in years, and install it.

[moogle1]

It should take you much less than five minutes to find a nightly build on Hamster Republic.

[rinku]

What's a nightly build?

[moogle1]

Boy are you out of the OHR.

This is really only an issue for people who are not actively involved in OHR development. 99% of the community is excited about the Ubersetzung release and probably already has the candidate executable.

Everyone else should know how to type "hamsterrepublic.com" into the browser window.

I wish - actually it's pretty hard to get people like Fenrir and AdrianX who report show stopper bugs to redownload and retest. And Nathan. And especially anyone who reports massive bugs in passing.

Oh by the way whenever I fire up custom my computer explodes in a massive fireball and I vaguely hear the cackling of hellish demons. I'm not sure if that's something that would interest you guys.
