Vendetta Online Pi edition

Oct 13, 2013 Rallen Bosessen link
I would love to see Vendetta Online to be on raspberry pi. it's based on Linux, so it would not be hard at all to make it run for pi.
I'm receiving mine this week...

If I see the devs spend one more development second on porting to another device or OS that no one uses, I'm going to quit VO forever.

No one uses? There's a lot of RasPis out there, but really the GPU on that thing is kind of horrible.

Get out. Now.

The good thing is, that this device already runs on Linux. The devs would just add some tweaks to make it compactible, wouldn't need a complete port of the game (like android and iOS)

Here's your chance, Inc! Teach Kierky not to make ultimatums:

VO for Etch-A-Sketch. Just fot tsreknor.
VO for Kindle Paperwhite. Because playing VO on a sunny beach gets too much glare on an iPad
VO for Nintendo DS. Because we need more 8 year olds to grief.

I got a Raspberry Pi with the first shipments; it's neat. But it's ARMv6, which we have never supported with android, because it's impractical. Groundbreaking as a $35 component of neat projects; not so hot as a gaming device.

+1 to VO Etch-A-Sketch

+1 to porting to FreeBSD 64-bit. The Etch-A-Sketch can wait! ;)

The Raspberry Pi is neat. I'm building an alarm clock out of one.

"The good thing is, that this device already runs on Linux. The devs would just add some tweaks to make it compactible, wouldn't need a complete port of the game (like android and iOS)"

There are two factual problems with your statement. First of all, the device does not run on Linux; Linux runs on the device. The second problem is that not all CPUs use the same architecture, and software compiled for one architecture will not run on a CPU with a different architecture, even if they're running the same OS. The Linux builds of VO are compiled for x86 and for x86_64; those will not run on ARM processors in general. The Android builds are compiled for ARM, but for a different version of ARM than the Raspberry Pi uses, so they also will not run on the Pi.
