Taisei Project (game) - help needed to build

Dadu042 · August 27, 2024, 12:22pm

I try to make a snap for this freegame game, it is a shoot’em up (website), mainly made with C (90%) then Python.

I’m stuck with the following error: Environment validation failed for part ‘gamemode’: ‘meson’ failed with error code 1. My snap is based on the Steam’s snap. It is easy to test (no local files), just put the snap then run snapcraft.

The snap:

name: taisei
base: core22
version: '1.4.1'
summary: Shoot ’em up game with lots of bullets (genre called bullet hell).
description: |
  It doesn’t aim to rebuild a particular installment of the Tōhō games, but 
  is rather an original game set in the world of Tōhō. Enjoy dodging through
  6 stages full of new bullet patterns on four difficulty levels!

Does the game need gamemode? If not, remove that entire part.

ogra · August 27, 2024, 1:07pm

I’d go even a step further than Popey here, the steam snap is designed to be able to run each and every game shipped in steam, it will have hacks for each and every corner case you find out there… I’d not base a single game snap on it even remotely and rather start the packaging from scratch…

popey · August 27, 2024, 1:27pm

Good point. I’d use whatever was used to publish other games that have similar requirements. Here’s the yaml for ROTA which is the last game I published.

I have try a lot of things with this game. Since this game is very nice, I would not mind if a expert does snap it. I could also try to make a snap with the game pre-compiled, but since development is not dead, I would prefer the compile-latest-version way.

When removing ‘gamemode’ i get:
