Thanks to the wonderful people behind PlayDeb, a very important Free game (free software and free content), is now available for Ubuntu 9.10. I say important because it's the Blender Institute's first Open Game Project made specifically to stimulate the development of Blender and provide beautiful example of what can be produced using only free software. It's based off of the film, Big Buck Bunny, the foundation's second Open Movie Project.
It's important not only as a beautiful Free game, but also just just as much so as a solid development model for Free content, proving that Free games, like the rest of the Free software world, can (and will) succeed! Blender's open movie and game projects are successful, even in a relatively small time frame and with their relatively small team, because they have proper art direction and a sound funding model. I hope we can see more projects materialize soon using similar methods.
Until now, people had to either build it themselves or download a .deb file from GetDeb which never worked, at least for me. Now, anybody running Karmic can install it through the PlayDeb repository!

If only they would remove some of the default Gnome games in Ubuntu and add quality games like this.
Quote: "because they have proper art direction and a sound funding model"
People weighing in on the "can open games work?" debate should read this quote again and again.
Of course we can see more projects like this. In fact, this project was thrown together incredibly rapidly after they used 90% of their time trying to get another method to work first. If the Blender Foundation does another game, I guarantee we'll see something 10 times better again.
It would be nice to see this game (and other stuff from playdeb) in Debian and Ubuntu. Any idea why they don't work with the Debian/Ubuntu games team?
This is looking exciting one to play.The open-source games are taking their own path in the gaming world.

Except that in my case, it fails with the following error message:
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
Segmentation fault
am I missing anything?
