Ahaaaa, I didn't even know VVVVVV used to be Flash. ^^

Regarding Flash, VVVVVV wasn't on Linux until it was rewritten in C, because the flash version had some serious problems under Linux. However with Unity, there's literally no reason to say no to Linux, since there are absolutely no issues, and even if, Unity will solve them!

Add me to the "WTF" crowd. Makes as much sense as making a Flash game and not releasing it for GNU/Linux. Oo

Seems like a definite cashgrab for them. Win/Mac/Lin is in the standard package, you do not have to pay for it like for iOS and Android. Disappointing...

wonder what they will say, their FAQ states:

QuoteInitially we will support Windows and Macintosh. We are using the Unity engine, which works on a variety of platforms. However, there are significant costs involved in customizing and testing the game on each additional platform. As our first stretch goal, in addition to content improvements, we plan to support Linux, iPad, and selected additional iOS and Android devices.

I sent the author a message asking why because it sounds like a money grab since Unity does the exporting for you? No other developer using Unity has stated any extra work for Linux.

You should try getting one of the guys from Mojang to tweet about it, works for a lot of other games :), they love their space games.

Quoting: "Hamish, post: 5819, member: 6"I honestly did not see that. Can you point me to where it mentions it?

Under their Key Features section it states "Single player or up to four players cooperative gameplay.".

When it comes to releases of older games for Linux, and people worrying about multiplayer....that game is being released for the first time on the Linux OS. Alot of us Linux gamers, will be filling up those multiplayer servers, with our new game! Im not worried about older multiplayer games, not having people in the servers, when they are released for Linux. We will be there.

Quoting: "Hyeron, post: 5837, member: 223"The same is valid for Windows, if you want to go down that particular path. The games are still DRM-free (mostly).
Anyway, no surprise, and their Interplay deal is still sweet.

Red orchestra is based on UT 2004 which is already on linux(started as a total conversion mod of which I still have a copy laying around somewhere on one of my harddrives) so no surprise there.

Maybe, but the reason I started using their service was their stance on DRM (plus bonuses, I just love the soundtracks). What they do now, is choose to support the smallest community on their site (iOS and Android users are there in larger numbers, albeit a bit overlapping), when the second biggest (Linux) after Windows has been active in supporting them. I mean looking at the forums and the thread about this, many of those saying their happy with GOG expanding but disappointed in it not being Linux at over 500 posts in the forums!

I guess this was partially selfish, but I just hoped they would keep with their DRM-free stance and not support an OS like that, and instead aim for Android and Linux. Perhaps they require much more work, since Macs are easier to support - not much hardware or software versions - but the fact that they still only say that 'it's too hard' and blame it on the number of distros is well, disappointing and repetitive now. After all, by targeting Debian, all Debian-based distros will just work, and then there's just SUSE and Fedora and it's solved, with a .tar for all others. Or just the installer they used in the latest Humble Bundle that can tell what packaging system is used and even register the package with it. And if they bundled all their libs, it would definitely work fine.

Well, there's still players on many older games, at least the bigger titles. This might increase the size of the community a bit, even if for a short time.

Still, as far as war shooters go, I think the only one with a big community and a Linux port will be Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory for now. Because it's free and moddable, it's community hasn't dwindled in the slightest. On the other hand, Red Orchestra just got a new mod, so it might be not that bad.

Also, the CDR now has 36 games that state Linux in ValidOS. I can't find the new one though, any ideas? I think it might just be the SS3 dedicated server, but I can't really tell.

Quoting: "Vadi7, post: 5831"And the disappointment was confirmed. Ideals they stand by my ass. You can't really talk about DRM-free and Mac in the same sentence, now can you?

I lol'd, even though that sentiment is a tad too bitter. ;)

The problem is for a game like this it's multiplayer, it's reasonably old...will any players still be online?

Well, this isn't on Unreal 3, so nothing really surprising. It's based on one of the pre-MS ones.

Unreal engine game on Linux ?!
I would LOVE to hear how they done it and if more Unreal games could be ported to Linux.

Thanks, I posted this in the morning and had no time to properly write it up.

But yeah, how it's looking, the amount of cash I'll have to spend will be terribly big. Which is a problem, when I don't have that much.

Is it just me, or is it looking that at this rate, the launch will be better than for Mac? Once all the Humble Bundles are there, the other indies (Oil Rush, BEEP, etc.), Valve games and possibly other source games. Anything else we can expect?
