The beta is almost over and there is still no Linux version. :><:
On the bright side, the game seems to be shaping up quite well and can, on the whole, be considered a Kickstarter success story.

Democracy 3 Review On Linux, I Fail At Running A Country

Fair point, Hamish, but it's less about what the game is than what it isn't, and it's definitely not about free markets. Which, as I say, is fair enough as far as it goes: it's a game about doing a lot of governing. In a sense, although we're clearly coming at it from more or less oppposite angles, I understand Kitten's frustration in not being able to try out your own favoured approach to see how it might work. Of course, to do that well you'd really have to accurately model every person in a real country (arguably the entire world), and we're some way off that yet. :)
anewson, we can argue about words, but you're right: this place is supposed to be about games, and I'm rather embarrassed that my first comment has veered so far off-topic. In fact, my intention wasn't to argue about exactly what philosophy the game seems to subscribe to, but simply to point out that as a game, there have to be rules and restrictions.

Humble Indie Bundle 11 Adds More Linux Games

Wasn't it there from the start? I'd say so.
Although the average paid for GNU/Linux is the highest we're the last in the totals. That means we're far behind in number of purchases.

Good luck with your project. I bet your buddy will be surprised if you finish it.

Not to turn this into a politics or economics debate, but what I think you mean is a liberal tax-and-spend model. Keynesian demand management policy during a recession (which I assume is what you refer to) is to reduce taxes, not increase them.
By , 26 February 2014 at 6:40 am UTC
Quoting: DuncKitten, I heard the exact opposite, that it tended to force you into the Keynesian tax-and-spend model. In fact, that's why I didn't buy it.

Rust Survival Game Updated With Better Performance & Linux Fixes

Good to see they are paying attention to Rust's Linux users.
With Garry's mod Linux users get ignored. This 9 month old bug for example. Mounting Source content in Gmod isn't important or anything... Good thing someone not on the payroll stepped up and offered a temporary fix. Not a peep from Garry about it and the other mods just offer cocky comments.

OK, I got it, you have to use the mouse to click on the "1" in the upper left corner. Not instinctive !
Then the game is... pre-8 bit style regarding the controls, if you see what I mean ;) But the music is very nice.

Seems really nice but I can't make it work on my KUbuntu 13.10 64bit.
Original message was: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
But I installed: sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2:i386
and then it started but the welcome screen is animated but I can't get into the game. Any key brings me to an empty but animated screen where I can only go back to the welcome screen by pressing ESC. Any idea ?

Humble Indie Bundle 11 Adds More Linux Games
By , 25 February 2014 at 10:23 pm UTC
Same here, I used to play DRM-free version of the bundle games before I discovered steam (and it was only because DN3D was only redeemable there). Now I pretty much only use steam and don't really play games that are not there (with a notable exception of Rocks'n'Diamonds ;-). Desura isn't that bad either, save for constant hangups and lack of achievements or cloud save.

Quoting: philip550cYes we should, some of us only like to use steam. While I like having DRM free for backup purposes, I pretty much only use steam to play games. I prefer steam to manage my games.[/quote]

We still don't have that officially on Steam, despite it being in an older bundle. :(Dustforce is available on Desura and in the Humble Store.
Do we really have to have everything on Steam?
My priority is still DRM-Free. Steam is nice to have.

Developer Sells Game On IndieGameStand DRM Free, Then Removes DRM Free Version

Thank you for the nice words!
At the end of the whole situation, it worked out well for everyone. Panic Arts was new to the PC market and did not understand the mistake that was made. They resolved the situation quickly and fixed the DRM-Free version.
I'd like to thank Panic Arts for making a great game and solving this quickly, as well as thank the community for being supportive.
