theKrevFox: So I don't know if I've been running the game wrong or something, but whenever I try running ./start.sh in my Armello directory, I get permission denied. I tried resolving this by giving passthrough permissions to all of the subdirectories but then this happens:
(replaced some irrelevant data with dots)

.......:~/Games/Armello$ ./start.sh
Running Armello
Set current directory to ....../Armello/game
Found path: ...../Armello/game/armello.x86_64
There is no data folder

And then it ends. Running it as super user makes the game run just fine though, albeit with my in-game name being the super user as well, is there any way to fix this?

Edit:
In case anyone else is having issues with this, my solution ended up being a script that would go through every subdirectory of the Armello directory, not only the immediate ones. I used a script because it would be too tedious to just change the permissions on everything manually. The script is as follows and allows me to run the game:

#!/bin/bash
_dir="${1:-.}"
_fperm="0777"
_dperm="0777"
_ugperm="root:root"
_chmod="/bin/chmod"
_chown="/bin/chown"
_find="/usr/bin/find"
_xargs="/usr/bin/xargs"

echo "Setting permissions for every file and directory under \"$_dir\""
read -p "Your current dir is ${PWD}. Are you sure (y / n) ?" ans
if [ "$ans" == "y" ]
then
echo "Changing file onwership to $_ugperm for $_dir..."
$_chown -R "${_ugperm}" "$_dir"

echo "Setting $_fperm permission for $_dir directory...."
$_chmod -R "${_fperm}" "$_dir"

echo "Setting $_dperm permission for $_dir directory...."
$_find "$_dir" -type d -print0 | $_xargs -0 -I {} $_chmod $_dperm {}
fi

This script needs to be run on your Armello directory, and also on your ~/.config/unity3d/League\ Of\ Geeks/ directories
This is a slightly re-purposed version of a script I found on cyberciti dot biz.

As I'm a new user I'm not allowed to post complete links I'm afraid.
