I played original one many years ago.
see into ufo-ai. Nice graphics, prolly 80% of original game content is implemented, some improved(autosell, networked games, etc), rest 20% will be done at some stage(no minitanks on map yet, no smart bombs, no reaction fire for bazooka).

graphics based on original 1 quake engine, that was strongly modified.

I hope they stay on top for those 16 hours, so because otherwise I do not see it getting funded.

If I were to guess, I'd say they're on the cusp of getting the beta out, and that's taking precedence.

I've been in a couple of projects where we've wanted to coordinate a lot of stuff with a release date, but that date slipping has caused other things to hang in limbo.

Since the beta is only going to be accessible to a tiny portion of Linux enthusiasts, too much beta news probably wouldn't be a good thing. That said, I'm surprised that there wasn't a corresponding blog entry talking about the survey - I guess they'll be continuing to ask people to fill out the survey after the initial limited beta has gone live.

Trackmania + Tron + arcade flight sim. I'm almost frothing at the mouth :D

Quoting: "Anon, post: 6101"What kind of threads? What are their titles?

One is titled "hello?", which has three or four comments in it, and one is titled "test", and appears to have one comment in it.

Quoting: "Anon, post: 6102"Looking at http://marlamin.com/cdr/search.php?s=linux&searchby=all there are a few other things with Linux in them. Any idea what OB could be? Also, Nuclear Dawn?

That search includes stuff that doesn't have Linux listed in the "validoslist" property, and seems to include a lot of dedicated servers (rather than clients). OB stands for Orange Box, and in this case refers to the Portal/TF2 era Source engine multiplayer components.

I purposefully combined/truncated multiple CDRs that referred to the same game from the list in the first post, so it might appear to be short if you've seen the full list ^_^

The Nuclear Dawn CDR you see listed on that page is related to the Nuclear Dawn dedicated server. I know that they are looking into Linux support, but I have no idea how far away that is (hopefully Liam will be able to scrounge up some details :D )

Well it is listed, i have contacted the devs of Nuclear Dawn just to confirm :)

It does look quite interesting. Will be keeping an eye on this. I am no fan of racers, but battle racers? Oh, boy!

Voted. Linux is currently in 6th place, well ahead of Mac OS. All the other features have to do with what will be in the game. CryEngine 3 coming to Linux would be amazing.

according to [URL='http://penny-arcade.com/report/editorial-article/chris-roberts-star-citizen-needs-your-money-to-get-more-money-and-promises-']this one[/URL] its a 10-12mil project with 2-4mil from crowd funding, so makes it 8-10mil private. so the crowd funding/kickstarter is just to show a 3rd party there is interest enough in the game ?

Quoting: "Bumadar, post: 6096, member: 93"why I kept it at allegedly :) what I could find is that is the 2mil is reached on the crowd funding then the private investors would kick in, not the amount though, but seen that number fly on the forums.

Ah. I'd take the speculation of fans on forums for detail on those kinds of numbers very lightly.

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 6095, member: 122"Do you have a source for the private investment stuff? I haven't been able to find any information on that at all.

Quoting: "Bumadar, post: 6094, member: 93"to be honest I am a bit dubious about this one, it allegedly got 20 million in private funding, saying they would not do one a few days later they had a [URL='http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cig/star-citizen']kickstarter[/URL] where it took 872k, which was 372k more then needed, it added stretch goals like a repair robot which I think are just silly stretch goals, same goes for the stretch goals on this crowd funding...

Do you have a source for the private investment stuff? I haven't been able to find any information on that at all.

Apparently they launched a Kickstarter campaign in response to fan requests after their own site died under unanticipated traffic (some people also expressed preference for Kickstarter as a payment method as funds aren't drawn until the campaign is over, and some people prefer to only give their credit card details, etc. to Kickstarter).

Quoting: "Bumadar, post: 6094, member: 93"you gone get cockpit decorations...

From what I understand, this stretch goal represents ship interior customisation in general rather than just "bobbleheads".

Quoting: "Bumadar, post: 6094, member: 93"I will sit this one out, if it comes out for Linux and it's any good I will line up to buy it, but I feel a bit iffy about funding it.

Fair enough. Ultimately, whether it makes it to Linux or not will depend on Crytek rather than these guys, though I imagine that highlighting Linux demand in this survey (which you don't need to be a supporter to vote in) would be nice even if it's only to remind the Star Citizen community that people care about it.

Quoting: "Hamish, post: 6090, member: 6"Well, we know for a fact he is prepping Postal 2 for RWS, but he did seem to be implying that he was working on several different titles, so here is hoping. :D

I think there's more than an implication of multiple titles here :D

QuoteNew games, old games, and tools to support them.

Edit: I managed to subscribe to the beta test sub-forum of the official Steam group before it was made invisible. There have been a couple of threads created (not that I can read them), so it looks like they're either giving things a quick test before throwing out beta access, or people have already started to receive invites.

They will still be copyrighted though so not really public domain no. I wont rule that out for the future though.

By the way, I'm doing a little experimenting with the price of the game. It's been reduced, so you can now get it at $14.99 USD.

This is taking too long for my taste. :p The sooner Steam hits Linux in full force, the sooner GOG can get to it as well!

Indeed I don't know why they didn't, I wander how long it will take them to sift through all the applicants, probably at least a week? So maybe closed beta end of next week?

It caused some confusion judging from what I have seen. They could have updated both as well as announced that the updates will move to the groups. Silly Valve!

Who knows maybe now they proper groups are up on the website it will just be all done there?

So why did Valve not update the Valve Linux Blog with this survey? It's been over a month since the last update.
