check the release post: release-post

Beyond the Iron Cycle BTIC is fully independent project by one entity.

It is very hard to work and publish such a project as a single entity. Allthough the programming itself - on its own - is already hard, but the harder challenge is to publish the game as independent as possible - and when you know the project, you will know why this has to be as independently published as possible.

After trying several options (github, gibtlab, bitbucket, Savannah, http-hosters, ... - those are more/less: centralized/offering a lot of not needed features/unnecessarily complicated/hosted by toxic-entities like Microsoft/payed services) i think that lemmy is best platform and community to publish the project.

The code i wrote is really easy to check, if in doubt test this on some old laptop or raspberry pi - no strings attached.

Also i choose not to host this (very special) project continually, but until some (yet unknown) point in the future as limited downloads.

Until then, you will find the "release fountain"-post in the according community: https://lemmy.ml/c/btic

for some time i will answer some questions about the game here in the comment-section of this post.

thx, good luck and have fun!

Many things occur as a chance, but some chances may drift away in time and space and they will never come back.
