Tidycade Files

Tidycade - Windows Test 3

Eight games, with a cleaner library: larger artwork, matching cover titles, a short gameplay summary for each game and separate creator credits. Full artwork credits and licences are available from Credits.

New in this version:

• VoxeLibre, through Luanti: explore, build and survive in a block world.
• Warzone 2100: build a base, research technology and command a post-apocalyptic army.
• Cataclysm: Bright Nights: scavenge, craft and fight through a turn-based zombie apocalypse.

They join Pocket the Place, OpenTTD, OpenTyrian, OpenHV and Shattered Pixel Dungeon.

Download and open

1. Download tidycade-windows-test-3.zip from Assets below. This is for 64-bit Intel/AMD Windows.
2. Extract the whole ZIP to a writable folder. Do not run the program from inside the ZIP.
3. Open Tidycade-Windows-TEST.exe. The library opens in your default browser. No Python installation is needed.
4. Choose a game, Install, then Play. Pocket the Place is a small first download. Installed games also appear under Installed.

A browser must be installed and set as the default. Read START-HERE.txt and keep attribution/ with the program. This unsigned test executable may show an unknown-publisher warning. Do not run as administrator or automatically bypass security warnings; stop if unsure.

Downloads and saves

Installation shows progress, Cancel and Retry. Keep Tidycade running during downloads. Browser reloads keep the job while the program is running. Quitting Tidycade or rebooting interrupts downloads; they start over. Installation results are not saved across launcher restarts.

Keep home/ beside the executable when updating. The three new games use save/configuration folders outside their installed game files. VoxeLibre supports creating multiple worlds and keeps those worlds when its game files are uninstalled or reinstalled. Browser-game progress depends on using the same browser profile and game address. Some games also use their normal user folders for settings.

Requirements and test status

Games download separately from official sources when you choose Install. Internet is required for installation; game hardware requirements and first-run prompts still apply. Offline support varies by game.

This remains a Windows test release. Package installation and save-folder handling have been checked. It is not a claim of complete gameplay testing on native Windows. An earlier OpenTyrian check under Wine failed to open its game window, then opened on a repeat.

Ubuntu downloads are separate. Older releases remain available. Choose the named Windows ZIP, not GitHub's automatic Source code links, which contain the downloads page rather than the program.

The optional .sha256 file checks download integrity. ZIP SHA-256: 985db18c96bd1d053f0e7d23f5a7227174b5ba898dd9a453f6f4715b47797fd0.
