It's really irritating that they didn't include Desura keys in the last two bundles. I use Desura and Steam but I prefer to use Desura for managing my Linux games. At this point it's an inconvenience to access my Humble keys through their site in order to update my games.

I struggle to see why people don't want to go on Desura or any other platform for that matter - all of it equals more exposure for them :S

Seconded. If they are already making demands on the developers to release for all three platforms, I do not think it would be too much to ask for them to demand they get on Desura as well.

At any rate, I bet that Desura will release a Mac port long before Steam ever thinks of releasing for Linux, so supporting Desura makes more sense in the long run.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 2670"I spoke to the humble folks before, Desura keys are down to the developer :(

To be honest, if a dev supports Steam in the Bundles, they should be required now to support Desura as well. The Bundles are billed as cross platform and are (via direct Bundle downloads) available, but the nice 'all-in-one' shop (Steam) is leaving Linux users out of the loop.

If Steam were to add Linux support as well, then I could see leaving it as a choice to developers to have them available via Steam or Desura or (insert future competition here) or direct download only.

This one is a proper Bundle at least, but it is out of my reach anyway as I do not have my own credit card, and my brothers credit is tied up in the new Rav4 he is getting (same problem I had when HiB 2 was released, car payments, though thankfully I did get them in the end though HiB 3, though I did miss out on the HiB 1 promotional effort that was part of it). So I will probably have to pass, even though I am interested in playing the much hyped Introversion titles and Aquaria. Not having Desura keys also diminishes its value. :(

Just a note in case anyone was wondering/missed it - No Desura keys again. I wish they would say just what is stopping this. The Bundles are supposed to be promoting cross platform games, but then fall short on the distribution. Especially considering now that Linux users actually have a decent distribution platform, they stop using it.

http://two.steel-storm.com has a concept art of the protagonist and the logo. From there, you can get to my dev blog and see the concept art of one of the weapons. Not much, I know, but the weekend is upon me, so family time is a must! Next week I'll have more art.

Sounds promising. Still need to play my copy of the original though. :D

:/
I already have all Introversion games except Multiwinia and Subversion.

My favourite game of the voxatron bundle so far is Blocks That Matter. I just love all the references to other games, as well as the gameplay itself.
Second is Voxatron (which is the only one I completed). Gish I already had.
Chocolate castle and Zen puzzle garden are fun and cute puzzle games.
The Binding of Isaac seems a bit boring, despite the completely crazy intro and weird objects (which never tell you what they do :/ ). The enemies just seem too easy to beat, even though I haven't finished the game yet. I especially do not like not being able to save... and random dungeons...
Jasper's journey I haven't played much yet, but looks like a standard platformer.

Yeah, that is the Wikipedia thumbnail. :P

I actually have two screens, a 17'' Acer AL1716 LCD and a 17'' Samsung SyncMaster 763MB CRT configured in Zaphod Mode. :D

Anyway, here is the page I was actually trying to link to:

Rah, need to register to comment. So I'll just comment here:
I would have added emulators (zsnes, dosbox&co), some engines like ScummVM or [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_Game_Studio']Adventure Game Studio[/URL] (official site seems to be down at the moment :( ), as well as gog.com (although I never used it because I still prefer to buy native games) to make it a bit more complete. :)

edit: Oh, and PlayOnLinux.
P.S.: Are there any problems with steamguard and creating a new steam installation for separate steam games? Because that's what PlayOnLinux seems to do. I haven't really used it much yet, except for installing steam and starcraft. I don't want Valve to think I'm sharing my account with multiple users...

bullet candy perfect and scoregasm are similar in some ways but both are fun and run smoooooth.
irukandji (from same developer) refuses to start: Assertion 's' failed at pulse/simple.c:256, function pa_simple_free(). Aborting. aoss does not help, so I guess unlike the other 2 it wants pulse in a bad way... and pulse was the 1st thing to vanish on this install.

I would suggest sometime giving Ironhide a go, Bumblebee is an old project which was forked into The Bumblebee Project and now Ironhide.

Congratulations on getting optimus to work. I tried bumblebee on a Dell XPS15 but had no luck getting it to work despite all the suggestions from the the developer and my own researches. The support issue was eventually closed with no resolution and the Dell has now been relegated to running Windows 7 (which it does quite well).

From now on I'm sticking with ATI. I've had a number of different ATI systems and they've all run with no problems using the propriety fglrx driver.

Thanks for pointing out the error but I still prefer my word :p

Ps. I am a brit so the correct way for me would be [URL='http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/voila']voila[/URL] ;)

Nice to know someone actually read the article though and well enough to nit pick :D
