Some nice update, in the 31 of december, version 3.61 has been released for everyone (up to then all version above 3.52 were steam/donators only).

Im trying to play this on a new linux install, and its saying libsdl-net is not satisfiable.  Except I should have libsdl2.

Looking into UrW's linux probelms, most of the advice seems to be to check that the SDL packages are up to date and correctly installed (UrW needs libsdl2, libsdl2-mixer, libsdl2-image). Don't know where the libsdl-net comes in, but best to check that it's got an up to date version installed as well. (If you are using Steam, that might be it.)

Some links that may or may not be relevant to your particular issue:

It's been a while since I had a linux system, so I'm not much use beyond this. (It was Ubuntu 12. I remember having to install lots and lots of packages to get everything working.)

It's a separate package.  Try searching for libsdl2-net-2 (Debian based) or sdl2-net (Arch based).  I don't remember needing it but I haven't played for close to a year now.

That was actually steam/life-time donator only - I think it was $50 or something, back when they handled their own sales.

I remember not being a happy camper with their announcement last year, even though their reasoning is perfectly valid and reasonable - If only they had an alternative DRM-free distributor somewhere.

It's very odd such a good game hasn't found a spot on something like gog for a drm free alternative to steam, it's always annoying when there are games exclusives to only one system (even more when said system is drm-driven).

To be fair, the UrW distributed on Steam seems otherwise DRM-free, as far as I can test.
It has no dll integration, and doesn't care if steam exists after being downloaded (and run once?)

It's also not Steam-exclusive.  You can still download the standalone installer from their website where it started, which can be found in the original post.  For those who like me are lazy at heart, the download page is here.  Steam is just a convenient way to throw money at the devs in addition to the donation model.

EDIT: Ah, this was already mentioned above. My apologies.

I bought Unreal World today on Steam. I had a temporary version (not life time) I bought in 2012 for 3 dollars, but obviously that was a long time ago.


I'm sure with the continuous updates to this day still, that its gonna be probably rather different than I played it last. Granted I just bought it, didn't bother looking at videos or anything.

Whats nice about this game is that it already had most of the features it planned to and its sense of 'realism' was already firmly shared by both developer and player alike, so unlike some games there is no strife between the two.  Im sure it'll fit just like a glove!  again.

It also has an interesting development history available there
http://www.unrealworld.fi/urw_devhist.html
so you can see how the game started from its original and rather standard roguelike and transformed rather quickly to become a survival game, becoming refined each years.

Oh and they also are on itch.io now :
