The new Master of Orion is coming to Linux, but you know that already if you read us often. The awesome news is the voice cast has been revealed, and it's awesome.
I'm a big Master of Orion 2 fan as it was a game I spent a large amount of my childhood playing, so this new entry to the series has me rather excited.
QuoteMark Hamill (Star Wars Saga) in addition to Alan Tudyk (Firefly), Michael Dorn (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Kat Cressida (Haunted Mansion), Dwight Schultz (Babylon 5), and Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street) talk about how they brought the races to life.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Quoting: drmothI don't particularly like Mark Hamill as an actor, but he's seem really great as a voice actor, impressed.Oh, he's a fantastic voice actor! Surely you know his performance as The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series (and its films) and the Arkham games.

Quoting: rkfgUnfoooooortunately, Early Access starts with Windows only. Mac/Linux will be added later so don't be overexcited. Yet.
From the Store Page:
QuoteWindows 64bit will be the only initial operating system supported, though we will be rolling out support for Mac OS, Linux and Steam OS over time.
Really? Oh man, that must be a new addition since they only recently confirmed Linux. We just need to keep the pressure on ;)

Sure, but first I'd like to know the state of the game on Windows at least. The overall quality, amount of content etc. If it sells well and has positive reviews, it's only natural to start pushing the demand of Linux version. Also, interesting to know the engine they're using. I suspect Unity but who knows, it could be even UE4. Facial animation is way too fluent for Unity (or I haven't seen such quality among Unity titles yet).

Quoting: CybolicOh yeah. Iconic Joker. I can still remember his performance in that episode when he thought Batman was dead and he had the guy who "killed" him. Puzzlement, disbelief, increasing unease, anger shading to total flipout, and then "That was fun. Who's for Chinese?" It was a thing of beauty.Quoting: drmothI don't particularly like Mark Hamill as an actor, but he's seem really great as a voice actor, impressed.Oh, he's a fantastic voice actor!

Wow, I never noticed. Thanks for pointing it out.
In this case I'll definitely pick this game up.
