I'm so glad this succeeded as well.  This game was cool and now it's going to be great!

Quoting: Ba7a7chyWait, so we cant control in Linux but if I'll play this on windows ill have the newest version with controls ? if so I consider this broken

Basically yes.

I hope the developer does make enough to get it updated I really do since these are one of my favourite types of games and the graphics are great too.

Also it's now on Steam properly.

Quoting: SabunAt least the developer is transparent about it.

Indeed, he's already said a few times that he doesn't have any experience with Linux so he has to have some indication that it's worth the effort to contract the port.

Still, sure would be nice to have the DLC's and updates.

That's a crying shame. At least the developer is transparent about it. I can understand it's not easy financially for him, since he's an indie developer. Still grateful he even decided to have a Linux port made :)

Quoting: SabunReally? So does that mean Linux users don't have access to unit control because we don't have the updated version?

I tested the original HIB build and it did not have that.

Unit control was added in a later version.

I'm pretty happy to have been a part of this :)

Thanks! I'd swear the tags didn't appear on the preview screen, but I might need to pay a visit to my ophthalmologist...

Done (Preview is a good feature to test with :P).

Ooops! I shouldn't have put the [center] tags on the tagline... :O

Can some editor correct this, please?

I honestly don't mind, he seems like a nice developer. I even tried the Steam version and made a small gameplay video here (it just covers the tutorial):

The game runs flawlessy (on singleplayer offline). It even detected my screen settings off the bat, and enabled everything in Ubuntu 12.10 64Bit. I haven't tested it with online gameplay, so I don't know about that. I do know it runs smoothly, and seriously the 2D animations in this game are awesome.

The only con is that the gameplay style of Gratuitous is not to my liking. It's a plan-then-watch kind of strategy game. I'd have loved to control the ship units myself and have them attack what I want. Heck, if there were space bases, that would be even cooler. If there is a way to control the units myself, let me know!

On an unrelated note: The developer behind Harvest:Massive Encounter is really not cool. I can't even get that game to work in 32bit, which is the only thing he aimed for! Feel like I wasted my money on Harvest...

I will no doubt dabble in it again at some point in the future, it was pretty good to kill time on :D

Quoting: s_dThose replaying Planescape: Torment in Wine might be interested in checking out GemRB, an open-source re-implementation of Bioware's Infinity Engine on which the game was written.  Like ScummVM, it lets you play these games natively

reason I use wine is because I am not sure that all the good mods work via gemrb, some are not needed as gemrb is better then the old infinity engine, but several add a lot of good stuff to the game, new quests, expanding quests, fixing them etc. etc.

As for the kickstarter, almost double in 2 days. scary.

I still <3 minecraft, play it way too much. But building something from scratch is just such a rush! I live sketching something and then seeing it become a reality.

For those interested I'm hosting a public snapshot server for a couple of hours to try all the new shiny!
It's over at snapshot.mcservergroup.com

Sadly, I stopped playing right before they hit 1.0 release due to entering University. Would love to game with my friends in this once again. I remember it being one of the first indie games in Ubuntu that I was extremely excited about during it's Alpha stage. Now all my siblings play it too :)

Good times, and really grateful Notch and his team keep on supporting Linux.

I agree my most wanted title is probably CS:GO to have a real this generation FPS on Linux that isn't TF2, then DOTA2 is next on my personal list.

Same here! Can't wait for CS:GO, loved Arms Race mode. Definitely awesome that they're porting all their old titles, Valve is definitely a hard working company (not like the slackers over at EA/Activision/Blizzard, nasty).

I hope to see CS:GO next, just because that's the latest iteration of the Source engine.

After that, Half-Life 2 and EP1/2 or Portal 1/2 would be my favourites to get the treatment.

Still, whatever comes I will be grateful :)

Neat!

I have to say, Hard Times is doing a good job of making me feel dumb. Thank you :D

This is what I'll tell him. Don't use proprietary code, tools, engines, or libraries. Publish your code on a free site under a non-proprietary license. It will be ported. Since I'm not charging for this service; total cost for the entire operation is $0. Use the $2,702 to make a better quality game.

I'm still hoping that the "no face" bug in Torchlight might get fixed someday, though the hope is not very strong at this point.

Scratch that, they got funded while I was writing this reply. As I refresh there getting ~450usd per refresh. :O
