Salvation Prophecy
Firedance Games | Released Jun 25, 2012
Salvation Prophecy is a space epic. Four warring factions battle over control of the known galaxy. Space stations and planet colonies endure constant assault. You begin your journey as a soldier recruit. Through intense planet and space battle, your combat skills will be put to a grim test. Success is rewarded with powerful skills, combat gear, and ship upgrades, and you may rise in rank to become commander of your faction. Lurking in the dark recesses of the universe is a threat foreseen by an apocalyptic prophecy. A danger far greater than mankind's endless battles. The pursuit of the prophecy leads through distant alien worlds with deadly creatures and untold secrets. A chance for redemption, if only we find our way through that dark hour.

I've played through the game once, and I have to say it really exceeded my expectations. Although the game suffers a bit from repetition, I feel like it's really got a good tempo; let me explain what I mean by tempo. There's always something to do, and you're (until near the end) always getting stronger in some way. The best way I could describe it is to draw comparisons to Pirates!. New mission types are introduced at a reasonable pace and keep the game interesting. Maybe you'll start out doing…

Apologies to anyone waiting for the linux port - multi-monitor linux boxes had problems, but I think I've finally got a handle on it.

@kibertoad Got pulled away from linux because of the Amazon and Russia launches, but back on it now - should have something soon.

While I can not spare the money for moment, the Linux release is definitely on my to buy list when I can. Just thought I would let your know that.
A huge thanks for the release, it's a real milestone, right in time when linux gaming is not a geeky thnkg anymore, but becoming a mainstream.
One Q though - is there any particular reason to link agains lcms 1? Original binary was using only lcms2 while desura's version is also linked with v1:
[ruff@mo release]$ ldd SalvationProphecy | grep lcms
liblcms2.so.2 => ./lib/liblcms2.so.2 (0xf564e000)
[ruff@mo release]$ cd ~/desura/common/salvation-prophecy/build/release/
[ruff@mo release]$ ldd SalvationProphecy | grep lcms
liblcms.so.1 => not found
liblcms2.so.2 => ./lib/liblcms2.so.2 (0xf567a000)
[ruff@mo release]$
Agreed on the linux movement, rufferson!
I'll check into the liblcms thing and get back to you. Thanks for the ldd output.
Hey rufferson,
I responded to this over on my support forums, so I don't clutter up the Desura comments section with a bunch of technical linux stuff. Here's the link: Salvationprophecy.com
Looks like a shared lib is missing. I get this when trying to run on a 64 bit Linux.
./SalvationProphecy: error while loading shared libraries: libjasper.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
From ldd, that appears to be the only library missing.
Hiya Jones -
Sorry you ran into a problem, let's get it worked out.
A couple questions:
1. Did you install ia32-libs?
2. What distro?
We should be able to get a missing lib problem solved pretty quick, if you don't mind going through a bit of support with me. Once we figure it out, I'll be sure to update the installer for other users.
It's Gentoo 64bit. I've got multilib enabled. I just realized that I could try unmasking ~x86 for libjasper in /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords and rebuild. I tried it and it worked! (I really wish that was in the Gentoo 64bit FAQ). So looks like there's no need to include another shared lib for Gentoo after all.
Thanks.
Ahh cool, thanks for posting back with the solution. I'm glad everything is running smoothly! You're the first gentoo 64-bit Salvation Prophecy player I'm aware of. :)
Congrats on your Desura Linux release Jabber :)
