I’ve been using HGE<\/a> for all my LD games so far, and it’s been used for a few other LD games such as Hockey Islands, but it’s previously been Windows only. Thanks to the need to port the excellent Hammerfight to Mac\/Linux for the Humble Indie Bundle 3, there’s now a port of HGE available here<\/a>. Development of HGE itself seems to have died off, but as it is I’ve found it ideal for LD and now with it having some cross-platform potential other LDers might want to consider it as an alternative to SDL\/Allegro.<\/p>","time":"August 7th, 2011 1:55 pm","title":"HGE-unix"}
