Since the game runs independantly of Steam, and is not so large, I would like to put it on a thumb drive to sneak a few deaths in at work. Please allow us to designate where saves are stored so in the few instances I live long enough to come back to a play session, I would not have to manually back up and move save files around.
This is your immediate supervisor, see me in my office. just kidding. dredmor should have a boss key. for those unfamiliar with the concept: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_key
I take it there is no way to mod that in? Haha. I have wanted to copy dredmor onto my little attom processor Asus and play it late at night when I wake up (NTTG only of course). But I don't know if it will run, especially with only 1 gig of ram and a tiny resolution and make it not part of the steam cloud.
Dungeons of Dredmor: Now for high school kids who have nothing better to do in study hall. No seriously, if I was still in high school I would be that kid playing this game on a thumbdrive.
Assuming your netbook can handle a resolution of 1024x600 (I haven't seen one that can't) there shouldn't be any major performance issues aside from a bit of a longer wait when starting a new game or changing floors - At least, judging from my own experience testing mods on an Acer Aspire One.
I can confirm this as well, the game runs just fine on my little netbook. The 1024x600 resolution does mean that you won't see very far but I prefer using melee anyway so it doesn't matter much.
I have an Asus eeePC Seashell, and it runs fine. In fact, I don't even have it saved on my system: I run it over my network.
I mostly played games on my calculator. Less obvious, and making levels for Mario was surprisingly fun.
