Quoting: liamdaweFeral likely have multiple development teams (I dont know any specifics about their internals fyi), likely working on more than one port at a time. People likely forget this.

How about sweet talking someone over at Feral into doing a proper in-depth interview for the site? You know it makes sense. ;) If anyone from Feral are reading this, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on. You know you want to. ;)

Depends what topics you want covered, we've interviewed them a few times.

See here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/interview-with-feral-interactive-about-their-ports-and-mesa-drivers-steam-keys-offered-for-mesa-developers.9356 (that's a big one too)

Quoting: AimHereAlso, Rome is still one of the more popular games in the series, between the nostalgia factor (it was the first proper 3D Total War, and for many gamers, it was their first game in the series), and the relative simplicity of the gameplay. I wouldn't be surprised if it sells more than some of the later TW games.

Do you have a recommendation for a Total War to try for modern graphics and "relatively simplistic" gameplay?

yeah and a tutorial to understand what happens on screen XD
In my Total War, I see soldiers killed and map with stuffs happening. No idea how I can act on the game, like in Crusader king 2 of Paradox. I would have love to play it but I don't have 3 weeks to understand the mechanism of a game. :'-(

Dude if you understood CK2 , these games are cake by comparison.
My guess it'll be more like 3 hours on YT for you.
Think I would need about 5 to learn.

And think that you don;t have to master it. You'll loose mostly at the beginning. I did as well with Paradox games.
But I learned as I lost.

Pretty decent of them to be so straightforward about this.
Hope they find a way to keep it available.
And hope people find ways to keep running it.

I just hope they won't remove it from GOG, without asking users first if they prefer to keep it as is or not.

the original xenonauts is awesome and hard, it runs better natively than in wine. but in wine you can install the community edition wich is a great addition to the game. so in my case, no harm done.
I can't wait for xenonauts 2.

At least that's a solid reason. They still seem to be at least open to support Linux in the future, which is good.

Thanks for the update, Liam!

It's an unfortunate situation, but it's much more understandable, given this information.

Thanks Liam!
Main Dev here!

I should add that the game is fully made on Linux, using mainly open source tools! (Gimp, Blender, Ubuntu...). :)

I'd be very happy if the whole series was ported to Linux, I've sunk more time into Total War than any other series/franchise.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: MetallinatusSo are those people who complain that we are getting one more game in this site a new breed of the troll that goes to our Steam posts just to say "-1" or stuff alike?

You could see it the way Feral should use their time on something I as commenter want to play.
(I don't see it that way, enough to play for now and mid-range future and mainly caring for Feral doing well commercially.)

This is no different from Windows guys saying the devs should be doing whatever else on the game instead of porting....

Excellent. I did put a comment saying is there a Linux version on their Facebook post. Maybe I'm the reason :-)

I don't like first-person games, but seeing Vulkan pick up some steam is awesome news! :)

All introversion games up to scanner sombre have a native linux version, so for me it would have been surprising if they didn't have a linux port planned.

The game itself looks interesting, and a bit of a departure from their usual style. (create gameplay from the media-depiction of some interesting concept, say nuclear war, hacking or prisons)

Ancient Rome is one of my most favorite periods in history. I was hoping to see the two Total War games set there on Linux one day!

Sadly im not into strategy games too much. But i enjoyed Total War: Warhammer.
Just don't have the time to play them much.

Anyway, Great news for those who love those games!

Quoting: berillionsFuck fuck fuck fuck ... again a total car game. Stop with these games please !!!!

Total Car!

Obviously the radar is a bit glitchy. What it meant to say is that Feral will be porting both Witcher 3 and Skyrim into a single game! How could you not have seen that? :P

Totally don't care, but still good to have more games on Feral's Store, it means more money so more future ports. I want Grim Dawn and Blood Bowl 2.

Damn now I'm sad. I watched a complete play through because I didn't think it would come for Linux oO
Unfortunately this kind of game doesn't have a high replay factor
