Nova-111 A Sci-Fi Themed Turn Based Adventure With Alien Fighting

Yeah, looks fantastic! I love how indies iterate, and re-iterate, over turn-based strategy. Too awesome.

Reminds me somewhat of the real-time / turn-based combat switching in Supergiant Games' upcoming title Transistor (which I'm also SUPER stoked for).

i have played every serious sam game all the way through co-op, really enjoy them. Serious Sam 3 was the best game when steam for linux first came out. Very excited about a new one. I hope its not in the desert again, I enjoy the tropical setting of the first games more.

There is a city of Townsville in north Queensland, Aus. Does the name have anything at all to do with it? Doubtful, I know, but you never know.
Unfortunately I very much doubt that powerpuff is my thing, but good to see it coming to linux.

QuoteWhen I say a true 16-bit RPG I mean it, it was actually released on the Sega Megadrive

That's pretty neat. :)
Though I probably would prefer them bundling the original game with a Mega Drive emulator instead of doing a remake.

Does it at least contain a YM2612 emulator for the music? I'm a sucker for those synth ICs...

Wasteland 1 The Original Classic Survival RPG Heading To Desura, DRM Free Fans Go Wild
By Shmerl, 6 March 2014 at 6:23 pm UTC

I have a CD version with voice acting which works in ScummVM fine. Steam obviously uses something else. I use that and FM Towns version which has no voice acting but has full dialogs and close up portraits (it works in ScummVM as well).

For more details about versions, see http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/loom/loom.htm
And here is another great article I discovered recently: http://mixnmojo.com/features/sitefeatures/LucasArts-Secret-History-Loom

Quoting: ShmerlI'm not sure that it's always the case. Somehow Steam managed to poison Loom for example, that it's not playable in ScummVM. At least that's what I've heard (I'm not using Steam so I can't verify that).

Well, Steam has re-released the CD-Version from 1992 of Loom including voices, which is kinda messed up, and not the original DOS-Version from 1990.

More about it: http://steamreview.org/external/loom/

I recommend the Amiga-Version of Loom anyway. IMHO the best :)

No information is sent to google, we just use their CND for jquery a javascript library gol needs to function, if something is blocking it then tell it not to.

Also in future, feedback is meant for the feedback forum, I tend to miss comments a lot.

Quoting: Crazy PenguinSure it is DRM-Free! It's not possible to put the Steam-Stuff into an old DOS-Game :D. The "linux version" is the DOS-Game bundled with the native Linux DOSBox binaries. Which doesn't count as linux version in my book :D

Quoting: GNU_DawnThe linux version on steam is already drm free. At lease I can move the files and launch the game without steam open in the background. That counts as drm free in my book.
