You're an explorer on an iceberg who wants to become famous by discovering things.
"I arrived at the small iceberg I want to explore. The chance to find something here is minimal, but I'm optimistic. Hopefully I'll become a famous explorer and make my mummy proud."
Further instructions can be found ingame.
The game is avaible for both Windows and Linux (32bit & 64bit). Windows: Double-click on 'Iceberg_Explorer_Windows.bat' to start the game Linux: Run 'Iceberg_Explorer_Linux.sh' to start the game
Side notes: - The maximal fame you can get without cheating is 570. - There is a potato hidden somewhere on the iceberg. - Even though there were a lot of technical issues in the past, the game should run now without problems, except you have weaksauce hardware. Testing machine had 4GB Ram, 2 x 2Ghz and an Intel graphics chip. - The game includes 2 sounds.
Does not run/build on Arch Linux 64 bit: $ ./Iceberg_Explorer_Linux.sh /tmp/iceberg/bin_unix/lamiae64.bin does not exist Lamiae will attempt to compile one by executing the following command. make -C src -f Makefile install
Please make sure the SDL, SDL_image, and SDL_mixer, and zlib *Development* libraries are installed. Press Enter to proceed or Ctrl-C to abort.
make: * src: No such file or directory. Stop. compilation failed
@stqn: I'm sorry, I didn't think of 64bit users. I'll upload the engines source, so you can compile it. Would you be so kind and share the 64bit binary then?
@dertom: It is a derivate of the Sauerbraten engine, called "Lamiae": https://github.com/Hirato/lamiae It's still in Alpha state. I think the game crashed, because some shaders couldn't be loaded properly D: Argh, I hate it when such things happen. I'll contact the developer of the engine for help and come back to you.
Don't mind me - Haven't voted, can't run it. Just wondering if leaving a comment and hitting 'save' will take it away from my ratings page. Again, I haven't voted.

"/home/username/Downloads/bin_unix/lamiae64.bin" does not exist and the program is unable to launch as a result. This is typically due to there not being an available build for your system.
If you believe this is in error, try some combination of the --force flags or if not, make sure that you have the sdl, sdl-image, sdl-mixer, and zlib DEVELOPMENT libraries installed. Then execute "make -C /home/username/Downloads/src install" before trying this script again.
@martijn: I did not provide a binary for 64bit Linux yet. Download the engines source (link is at the top) and put the src folder into the Iceberg_Explorer_Linux/ Now run the script again.

Ahh, the rare Linux-Only game.
Got to respect that, but alas, few people will be able to play.
So I built the game using the source package, then the game launches, the menu works, but it crashes after loading / generating the map:

I disabled everything in the video options (red means disabled, right?) and then the game started. But the display is wrong (only a few polygons are shown) and the game is unplayable on my computer unfortunately.
Very interesting! I really liked the setting and the graphics! Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug when you want to get out of the secret cave: I always fall through the ground under the iceberg and die :( Tried a few times. May be I'm doing something wrong?
But nonetheless, well done! Nice game!
PS: for people using a 64bit Linux, you need to make bin_unix/lamiae64.bin executable in order to start the game.
Cool game. Looked pretty good. I have three monitors and the game magically extended the world onto all of them quite well. I think that some things might have been slightly messed up because of that, but it looked quite cool. :)
I couldn't find that many things. I don't know how many things even existed for me to find. There seemed to be a huge clusters of indicators on the minimap which I couldn't find anything at. I tried looking for some sort of cave entrance, but found nothing. I guess I must have been missing something.
Still, the game ran perfectly well for me on Linux (32 bit). No issues whatsoever. Kudos for providing a dedicated Linux build.
The download site was HORRIBLE tho. It took forever to download the game. :(
Really cool game. loved the grafics and i had no problems running it (win 7 64). but i couldnt find the last opject (on the mountain) 460 fame, more than enough
The exploration thing is cool. Had good time hoping around the map. Sad thing I haven't found the potato. Overall the game looks good and it is a nice piece of tech.
Exploration was actually pretty fun. I only had a few minor issues. In the hot springs cave I fell through the world, but with some effort I was able to get back in the cave. Beyond that the way that climbing slopes felt was a bit odd, but nothing that couldn't be overcome.
I got an error message when trying to run on Windows 7: "Lamiae fatal error: Large texture support is required!" Doesn't seem to point to a file I'm missing, so I don't know what to do.
I also get large texture support error on Windows. On Debian Squeeze 32-bit, I get "X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal xlib length error)"
Nice to see a windows port! Working here on Win7 64 bit. Played it for quite a while. Some ambient sounds what have been nice. What's the highest possible score?
Definite plus for peaceful exploration of serene environment! Would've loved to see more content and perhaps some small puzzles, but this was pretty nice as is.
Well done, best of reviews I can give for this game! I managed to find everything in the third screenshot, and after I did a once-around the iceberg one more time to make sure I didn't miss anything and was heading back towards my little life boat...I fell in the dreaded water. It didn't kill me instantly. Oh no. It gave me a false illusion that I could make this work, if I could just hold onto dear life long enough to make it to a part of the shore that I could climb back up on. I was going to go warm up in the hot springs to ward off frost bite. But no. I eventually perished, another life lost to the hard ways of iceberg exploreratoring. Great job, loved the ambience of this game too!
PS: I did fall under the world as I exited the hot springs, but I just swam around for a while and managed to pop back up near the lifeboat, wasn't too bad. Was rather enjoyable actually, felt like warm bath water.
Excellent job with the graphics :D Also, huge plus for the fully featured options menu! It was very fun and relaxing exploring the iceberg, some ambient music would have made it even better, but it was still awesome!
I found this game quite relaxing. It was fun to jump around and search for stuff. The minimap made it feel a bit easy, but it was the only way of knowing you'd found everything so that was good. The game was short and sweet, and I liked the potato gag :) I played on windows and didn't have any issues.
I really really enjoyed the water effects in this game. The graphics are very good.
Also, by the way -- can you give my game another shot? I don't know what was up with it for you, but we haven't seen that problem in a while and it it's preventing people from playing it I'd like to make sure we get it right :)
