Looks like it might be fun, but I'm not going to pay until there is some sort of product. It doesn't have to be finished, but at least something playable. It feels like you really need to pay extra to buy in early, since its $15 for beta builds, this seems backwards.

Give me something I can do something with and I'd probably be interested. Then again even though I've bought plenty of alpha games I've never contributed to a KS, so perhaps I'm just not the target audience.

" Linux: Worked around drivers grossly underreporting video memory. "

I have been waiting for this fix. Now Just to wait for Verdun , Guns of Icarus and Rust to update.

Quoting: muntdefemswith the exception of Skulls of the Shogun: at the end of the installation process it complains about not being able to "install the desktop menu item" and then proceeds to revert everything. If you keep the installer open and don't let it finish, you can actually play the game, but it's annoying as hell... :><:

Works fine on Steam for me -- can't you just kill the installer process?

Stronghold 1 was the best one of the series and Stronghhold 3 the worst one. Lets hope I remembered it wrong. Stronghold 1 with hd patch on wine works great btw :P

Quoting: WorMzyStill waiting on Giana Sisters from the last bundle.. :/

To be fair, they just said the port would be ready "later this year" and we still are 5/12 into it. :P I guess they didn't want another Vessel affair.

Quoting: WorMzyAre these all confirmed as being Linux-compatible? Or are there more developers that don't want our money?

I'm still downloading Breach & Clear, but I can say the rest work fine... with the exception of Skulls of the Shogun: at the end of the installation process it complains about not being able to "install the desktop menu item" and then proceeds to revert everything.

Humble Bundle actually tells you now with a little exclamation mark next to the DRM or the Steam symbol if either is missing one of the platforms and if you hover over it, it'll say for which platforms it is available and for which it isn't.

Pffft! You get a better overview in the system requirements:

All 7 running DRM-Free on Linux, 4 of them available on Steam also.

Quoting: wolfyrionit seems is on sale on Steam the complete package for 15 Euro

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/37429/

I wonder if it is worth to buy it now or wait until summer ....

I don't know if I understand how his works, but I guess it's better to wait for the Linux release so they can better correlate one event with the other. Not to mention the game's been 80% off on previous occasions.

Quoting: AnonymousLeadwerks is definitely not for real development, at least not yet. It' shows on their steam store page. Just watch the video lol
Quote - "You like playing games on steam? You ever wanted to make your own games that you and your friends can play"
At least they now have a demo to try http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/demo
They clearly didn't want to release a demo for it, and argued that giving people a free weekend on steam would be enough time for someone to evaluate it. Very funny to read Link - http://steamcommunity.com/app/251810/discussions/0/540738051931952579/#p1


As for Godot, it can't even go fullscreen on Linux, and they think it's too hard and don't wanna even consider using SDL2. They chose not to use SDL back when it started because alt-tab didn't work, so they figured Linux users would prefer to just play in a window lmao. Link here
https://github.com/okamstudio/godot/issues/140

I know the source is available, and the community will improve/fix things, but with that and other issues I wouldn't start a serious project with it right now unless I was willing/wanted to put some serious time into the engine ontop of writing a game itself.

Anyhow looks like someone from the community at the very end of the link is working on getting fullscreen implemented. Wonder if it will get into the main branch or if their will be a fork just for fullscreen.

It is indeed a shame that SDL2 isn't used, but the devs have their reasons. In any case, it's not that hard to get patches submitted and accepted to Godot. I've submitted several, and they were accepted. If you want to rip everything out and replace it with SDL2, go for it. Or if you just want to fix fullscreen, do that instead. I tried, but X11 is a horrendous API, and it's really not as easy as it *should* be to toggle fullscreen while not breaking Alt+Tab. Join the IRC channel if you want - the devs are always in there and reasonably responsive.

Even if I try to open the race the sun link you provided I get "Failed to update Unity Web Player". Any idea how I can do it manually?

There are indeed some issues with stronghold 3, but it is still quite enjoyable imo. One big annoyance for me is the building and unit cap, but that can be fixed by simply editing one of the config files.

I would rather see Stronghold Crusader on Linux. Stronghold 3 is really not good.

Stronghold 3 had a very rough release id I remember correctly with a lot of bugs and broken AI. I was windows gamer around that time but I still did not buy it then. Now if they have fixed most of the bugs I could buy it. Someone knows at what state this game is now?

As for Syndicate theres actually FreeSynd.

Quoting: HadBabitsAs for Leadwerks, I backed it, and have a copy of the Indie Edition. Unfortunately, when I tried it you had to do some serious workarounds to get it working on Mint (seems it was made with Ubuntu in mind). Hopefully that's been changed, otherwise I'd say they're being pretty short-sighted.

I would imagine that would have to be seriously Ubuntu tied if it were not to function well on Mint. :S

As I recall, it had some Ubuntu-specific dependencies. I think it was something for Unity.

i really wanted this and would have bought it if it wasn't so late. that and complete lack of updates why it is 6 months late was one straw that pushed me to look for alternatives

so, i decided on UE4. source access is simply better solution, not to mention it is available on really decent price based on what it enables one to do.

Finally fixed that mouse problem, great.


So how much better does Windows perform compared to Linux with Unity? I guess most Unity games I play are lightweight so I haven't noticed an issue.

This is one of the best gamesI have ever played. The second a public beta is available, I will buy it.

I have high hopes for the quality of the port, considering the mac port is good and how well it runs on wine suggests few complications.

I havent played any XCOM game so far , maybe I have played some old DOS XCOM games.
This looks a bit different though....I dont like strategy games..... :o

Just hopping for a big discount when it comes out on steamOS like the Witcher 2.
Is a 2012 Game so a discount is a must :P

Being a former PowerMac user, to me Feral are amongst the greatest porting teams ever. Their Mac ports had the same requirements as Windows versions, and Max Payne, for example, was even mod compatible. Glad to buy stuff from them again !

Quoting: FutureSutureStill very much tempted to get this despite not currently possessing any toddlers.

Taking a time out from your evil wrongdoings? Or are you finding the exorcisms too exhausting? :D

It's an interesting game mechanic, I'll keep my eye on this one. I'm finding myself a lot choosier in my game purchases since I've acquired this huge backlog!
