SPACE CUBES DESCENT
Space Cubes Descent
is a peer to peer multi-player high flying space FPS. In this game you shoot other players while flying around big metal cubes floating in space.
The levels are big enough so that the spaceships are dwarfed. However you have a big zoom lens so your enemy combatants can not hide.
Space Cubes Descent does have a main server where players can find each other, however its only up when the game creators computer is turned on, I hope this starts to be all the time!
Space Cubes Descent is in a very early stage of development and is improving with new updates coming all the time , right now the game is good enough to be enjoyable and very playable. If the server is not on or you have no one in the office to play with you can play against NPC’s.

I tried to make an rpm package but alien failed to create it. Also I’m not sure that the names of the package dependencies are match on another operating system.
I think there is at least a program that can extract files from deb on OpenSuse. The dependencies are wxWidgets, OpenGL and OpenAL.
SCD v0.43 is on:
- You can see the powerups if you are alone.
- Smaller cubes to think movement is faster.
- No slow down at sanctuary cubes.
- Immediate 20% shield regeneration when you enter to the sanctuary cube.
- No experience is given when you hit yourself
- one new server.
- High level projectiles doesn’t have fragmentation effect anymore.
- Bots does not become stronger even you are online.
- turning is not assigned to keys default.
- projectiles are smaller.
- basic projectiles are laserbolts instead of plasmaballs.
- Cubes of the level are arranged along concentric spheres.
- The smaller amount of players online the closer point to the center you respawn.
- Bots don’t shot exploded ships anymore.

I just happened upon this today doing a search for Descent for Linux. I see you have a deb link here. Is this available as an rpm or src that I can install on openSuSE? If it is right here and I missed it, I apologize.
thanks,

I’m sorry to say at present Space Cubes Descent only has a .deb or a windows .exe to be able to install.. I hope to have information soon to be able to install this game on other Linux operating systems or someone might contribute to the forums some install information for this game
