Same here! I honestly thought GOG had no interest, and were really set on not supporting Linux. I'm surprised at the sudden turn around! This is awesome, and now it looks like I can buy games from them again :D

this was a nobrainer...

I already have bought some gog games and my choices run fine via wine so far

I guess some little penguin icon next to games will help me know in advance if they are going to work

I dont expect them to do much work aside from what work out of the shell... but being acknowledged feels good

No thanks. A cold box of beer, 3 mates and that big old cabinet I can see over in the corner
of my games room looks better.

QuoteThis means we will finally have a true DRM free store that really fights for DRM free

Thought you already had that. ;)

If they do use Wine, I'd want them to add that info to the game page (just like I want them to state when they use DOSBox and ScummVM).

So they finally gave up their resistance :)
Looks like they will get my money again in the future ^^

Quoting: godlikeThat is great news indeed! Linux support for DOSBOX powered games is definitely a no brainer and a trivial technical challenge. DOSBOX runs everywhere. For all the rest of the windows games... we hope but it's a big challenge to emulate them using wine with no issues.

If they really want to make wine wrappers they should probably ask the playonlinux guys.

Hahaha, I had the very same reaction and I checked the date to make sure this is still March. :D

Seriously though I don't think they'll start porting games to Linux -and I really don't expect them to- but I'd be just as happy if they offered Linux builds of games that are already available on our OS.

Fantastic news!

Been avoiding them recently (especially if the game has a Linux version on Steam), but sweet. I imagine this only really includes games that run in Dosbox right? I wonder if theyre going to start packaging wine... but then I suppose whatever works on OS X should be alright for us (native versions not withstanding)

Got some negative reviews on Steam... since it looks quite similar to Bastion I think I'll give a try. And Celtic mythology is something not really seen on videogames

Looks like an awesome game. Saw it mentioned on this site once before indeed.

If you have a key left I'd love to try it. And if not I'll just see how far I get with the Windows version and wine. ;)

Cool stuff :)

Nice work, here. Glad to pick it up :)

Quoting: Linuxian

Quoting: liamdaweI know, like I said though only one person is working on their Linux ports at the moment, both do work for RuneSoft though.

One is doing mobile related stuff atm, like I said I've been chatting to them.

So what's next ? Ankh or Pinball 3D ?

Jack Keane 2?

They are inspired by Organ Trail which is inspired by Oregon Trail... Hello to the creativity!

Actually I am a big fan of Organ Trail and I think that classy, simplistic pixel look is better than poor 3D look like in this game. Also, what kind of recreation is that? Is 'oregon-trail' a new genre of game?

I still wish them best luck...

Anything with the name Gollop catches my attention. Laser Squad, X-Com, Magic & Mayhem (this is a gem that gets less mentions than it deserves). Looking forward to this.

This isn't an action RPG, it's an arcade game remake.

I'd rather just use Leadwerks anyway. I don't want to have to add an entire other OS into my development workflow.

This is just my opinion, but I feel that the indie gaming community would develop that much more of a foothold in the market if easy-to-use tools were available on Linux.

Oh, I forgot to add '.com' at the ending. That's why it is better to create an account, you can always edit what you wrote. lol
