1. Installation

Before attempting to install, see if your platform is supported.

1.1 Platform Support

1.1.1 Supported Installer Platforms

These platforms all have a designated installer binary that installs the game on the computer. The installer and game (once installed) require no external programs or libraries (yay!).

Platform Versions Instructions
Windows v0.1.0-alpha+ Windows

1.1.2 Supported Source Platforms

This is the raw code. You’ll need python 3 and all of the required libraries (modules). The tricky part is retriving all the libraries for different platforms, so there is a setup link attached to each operating system for how to setup the source before running it.

Platform Versions Setup
Windows 7+ v0.1.0-alpha+ None
Ubuntu 16.04 v0.1.0-alpha+ None

1.2 Instructions

1.2.1 Windows - Installer

1.2.1.1 - Downloading

Download the installer executable, which is currently only available to developers.

1.2.1.2 - Installing

Note

You may have to run the executable from the command line. Sorry! Sword Smith Now cannot currently verify their work, due to fees and such.

Run the executable. Eventually, it should give the option of installation, and selecting a directory. The default directory is your %appdata% directory.

1.2.1.3 - Running

The actual game launcher will be stored in the current user’s “Saved Games” folder. Now you’re done! Since you can only launch the game in dev mode, start the game by running:

Enter games directory:

cd "C:/users/%USERNAME%/Saved Games"

Run the game in dev mode:

Sword_Smith_Now.exe -d
