As soon as we have some graphics, there will be screenshots yes. At this moment, all we've got is a thief walking animation, and a blank book. Everything else is just MS Paint stuff. :D

I'm actually really looking forward to this game. It will be interesting to see how it takes shape.

Because it's being written in .NET
Just get the framework. One 20MB download is all you need for all .NET programs.
Well, that one 20MB download isn't going to do anything on Linux. Hopefully you'll make it play nice with (

I don't plan on making this run with Linux natively. You'll have to use the usual workarounds for that.
One day when I have time I may learn OpenGL so that I can have it run on linux natively but until then you'll have to go through the typical wine/x loopholes to get DirectX to run.

I don't think you understand.
Mono is a sort of .net for Linux (I linked to the description). So maybe it might run under mono instead of the usual windows .net. (I don't know for sure though.)
I'm not too sure if wine can handle .net stuff are you? :p

Yea I know what mono is. Right now it only really supports C# .net. But even if this program was entirely written in C#, its using DirectX9 and as far as I know from my fedora core 2 linux box, DirectX9 doesn't run under linux.
I'm not sure if Wine handles .NET. I'd assume not, but I'd be interested to find out.

heheh, no, DirectX9 doesn't run on Linux.
There always is (

I'm not too sure, but my best bet is that it doesn't.
I'd really love to be able to play your game on Linux.

The C++ engine for Windows, Linux, and Xbox, is being created as I type this. (Wait that's impossible since I'm the one creating it...) Well, its being created at any rate, and so far animations are in.
I can't for this project to reach maturity, because it will be released as open source when it has and I'll get to see many add-ons and mods I hope!
If you can't wait until then and would like to lend your hand in some C++ and SDL coding, then please e-mail me at [email]thief2d@dracsoft.com[/email]!

I for one am looking forward to see how this turns out. I wanted to do a 2D thief myself a while back. But I was going to make it isometric 3D. (the traditional RPG view)
