Kickstart all of the games!
By Jeffrey Revock, 7 April 2012 at 3:23 pm UTC

I love the game concept, so I didn't cancel my pledge. I did reduce it, though. I will only pledge so much for a game that may or may not run under wine. If they had actually committed to doing a native Linux version, I would have pledged MUCH more.

Kickstarter fever
By , 7 April 2012 at 7:56 am UTC

I love travel but I have little time to do that.Instead I often wandering about in the ocean

of the game,such as Star Wars;The Old Republic,World of Warcraft,Dragon Nest,even the

upcoming Tera and Diablo 3 and The Secret World.Maybe that could be regarded as an

alternative tourist.Some nice on-line store to share with you.

I agree with that. Porting to Linux is way easier than porting to OSX.

No Linux for Shadowrun Return :(
I cancel my pledge!

QuoteAs part of our review, we came to the conclusion that feature additions such as aLinux version, Multiplayer PvP, and Cooperative Play are beyond the scope of the project and would cause us to lose focus on the game you reacted to so positively (and the game we really want to make).

QuoteTo everyone asking about a Mac version of the game, we've been saying that if we hit the $425,000 level, we'd add it. Linux support is definitely on the table too! (After all, who'd be a better Decker?)

Sure sounds good!

Well, Bionite looks interesting. BZ was one of the frist games to get me to like RTS in games at all. Let call out Linux support, but one of their videos on kickstarter starts with a UDK logo. Does UDK support Linux?

Whize pointed out Leisure Suit Larry is using Unity. Are these companies just going to use Kickstarter to become another Primal Carnage?

Exactly, that's why it's doubly important to let them know how appreciated it is (in-house porting shows a greater level of commitment and is more likely to lead to simultaneous releases).

So glad to have a native port of this.
I wrote [URL='http://cheesetalks.twolofbees.com/trine2.php']a review[/URL] of Trine 2 last year if anybody needs extra convincing :D

Quoting: "Bumadar, post: 3925, member: 93"i am unsure what to do, love trine and trine 2 on my ps3 but also want to support them on their linux support.......

Buy it for Linux? I can't imagine it being fun at all with a game pad...
If you can't bring yourself to buy it again (this game is worth more than $30 IMO), you could send the Frozenbyte guys some fan mail to make sure they know how much you appreciate Linux support :D

Quoting: "Kame, post: 3922, member: 102"If you buy it in the humble widget on their site you get a steam copy along with it, you support the Linux version AND are able to play with friends if a Linux steam client gets released!

wooot.

im holding myself back for 1 month. just to wait and see what happens with the steam linux client rumors.
its mostly because most of my friends are using windblows and DRM free copy of Trine 2 doesnt match with the steam versions multiplayer. So im unable to play with friends then.
and i also dont want to buy the windows version, because they support our beloved platform natively :)

I succumbed to peer pressure and bought it. Mostly just to support FB and try it out on Mesa, I've yet to play the first game.

Quoting: "MyGameCompany, post: 3914, member: 68"What Linux port? Have I missed something? I've only seen Avadon: The Black Fortress for Windows, Mac, and iPad. I've seen/heard nothing about a Linux port...

It was ported by Icculus for the last Humble Android Bundle.

I'm guessing (or at least hoping) that the rest of the games in the triology will be ported too.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 3823, member: 1"Once downloaded remember to set the file as executable by either going into the properties like so;

Or in terminal make it executable;

Don't, the jar file doesn't need to be executable since you run it through java anyway.

Well, in the past there was a Linux port of Exile III that never worked for me. And they also released the source code to Blades of Exile as well, though I am not sure if any proper source ports were completed.

Anyone else bash around in Exile back in the day? ;)
