Quoting: SangeetKhatriHow can someone lose the Source Code? This is extent of carelessness.

Many ways after 15 years of moving around offices, developers, publishers etc.

Wow, bought this game on Steam sale a year or so ago, never gotten to play it due to not bothering booting up the Windows partition.

Now I'm glad I didn't!

Wine obviously isn't ideal, but they have a legitimate reason for it and at least this is their officially support version now.

Quoting: liamdaweThings don't need to be in 3D or look realistic to be good-looking.

Also coders are easy to find, graphics artists aren't.

One of my best friends is a graphics artist, but I don't know of any open source game projects where she would fit in. She's a 2D artist not a modeler or animator, and doesn't particularly care for sci-fi or dark/violent themes. For work it's typical website stuff like logos and backgrounds, but as a volunteer she does cool cartoony posters with penguins for my Linux group, and for fun has also done some nice painterly still lifes. Has been using inkscape and gimp for years now, after I converted her to Linux based on the high cost of Apple + Adobe.

Any suggestions of a team where she might fit in, if graphic artists are in demand?

Quoting: SXXIn same time inability to use online multiplayer it's kind a sad.

Why do you say so?

Because he's more likely to play online, than on a LAN? Just a guess.

Not a fan of DRM here either, but I've had this argument to death and like you, I don't feel like going through it all again. I'm "fine" with Steam, but tend to buy on Humble and then redeem if possible. Best of both worlds.

They could make it a launch title for GOG's Linux support.

I've also got a 20% off voucher for Steam (they are not stackable), available for whoever wants it.

Quoting: SXXThey promised DRM-free to Kickstarter backers and not anyone else. ;)

I just explained reason why they might decide to not sell DRM-free version publicly.

No worries then, if some of my LAN companions can't get their own DRM-free copies, we'll share mine.

Quoting: RobertThey promised both DRM-free and Steam versions and this is what I demand. DRM is an anti-feature and I won't believe in any technical excuse that forces it's implementation.

Quoting: CheesenessFor some extra context, Campo Santo is comprised of people who've previously worked at places like Telltale, Double Fine, Klei, LucasArts, Activision, Lucasfilm and Studio Ghibli, so there's some serious heritage of storytelling and compelling worlds at work there.

Sounds very promising then!

I think it means it will work best on Ubuntu but may take some work to get it to run on other distros. I'm hoping anyway

Quoting: PCCSunriseWhat about Mandate and GAE in the Glest category? Oldstyle Glest is way behind MG, GAE, or Mandate in their respective focuses.

GAE had no changes for months now. There is absolutly no forum activity, so I think this project is dead. GAE still has no working multiplayer and so on, its more some kind of techdemo than somehting ready to play in my opinion.

The Mandate Engine is a one person project based on GAE. Like GAE its not a game( yet), just an engine and I think its VERY experimental has no working multiplayer and so on. I think it focuses on completly different gameplay in the end.

So both projects are really nothing for players looking at their current state.

I was overjoyed when they announced last year that their first title would be supporting Linux and have been following with close eyes since. I encourage others to do the same.

This would be so cool if it works out. :D

Focusing on one platform and porting it afterwards is much harder than writing software for cross-platform usage from the beginning.

Just why do I always get headaches if I hear a game-dev talking about something related to software development?

plx uninstall ... :P

Could be interesting; first person games are a bit saturated at the moment, but if they don't turn it into a shooter, it could definitely stand out.

I remember playing Age of Wonders 2, loved the game, can't wait for the linux version (also hoping the minimum version stays similar to windows version :P).

Concept art and description looks very interesting. I will watch for the project.

I got a 20% off voucher from steam for Escape Goat 2, I don't plan to buy the game anytime soon, so if someone here wants it, they can get it.
