There's a difference between blocky 3d graphics meant to be like that to what this game has.

I will keep watching and hoping for a graphical overhaul as for me unfortunately graphics are an issue.

You know, I think that 5 years ago, people would have scoffed at Minecraft screenshots, saying that the graphical quality was too low for the game to be enjoyable.

Whilst these graphics don't inspire me at all, I think I'll still give the demo a go and try to judge it for its gameplay.

Sounds interesting but don't look so good.
Shame that many Indie games with great ideas neglect the graphic :( (I'm not a graphic whore, but I do expect something that looks better than a school work in MS-Paint).

Yeah I'm on the sideline here want it but don't think it's worth it to Wine it.

Grabbed the demo. Will see what it is like.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I happen to know this guy, and he's definitely a supporter and user of Linux. We worked together back in 2005 to figure out how to build distribution-independent binaries, and some of the material in my Linux game development articles were things he happened to learn that he shared with me. He has also helped me test the Linux builds of my games. Gianfranco's a great guy.

He's tinkered around with mini games and participates frequently in Ludum Dare, but he's wanted to make a full-on game for some time now. This is his first big project, and I really like the concept. I'm looking forward to seeing how this evolves over the course of its development.

Quite excited for this one, but I'll probably hold off at least until there's Linux builds of the alpha.

I have to say I'm personally reluctant to try it. While IV has been supportive of Linux, the games were mostly ports, and quite often with inconsistent versioning and lack of new-content-bringing patches on Linux (example - Darwinia on Windows compared to Linux).

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 5546, member: 1"So for the 9th time out of 16 total bundles we Linux folk have contributed more money in total than Mac users! This is taking into account the fact that there is 9000+ more buyers on Mac than Linux, this is due to the fact that Linux average purchases are around $3 higher than Mac.

Further giving credit to the fact that yes their is a market for Linux games and yes we will pay good money for them! While this bundle is by no means over it still has 7+ days left, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I hope more gaming companies/groups/whatever use stats like cheese's [URL='http://cheesetalks.twolofbees.com/humble/']Humble Visualisations[/URL] to see just how profitable Linux could be for them rather than dismiss it altogether.

Ps. There is another new Torchlight build out for Linux with more fixes. yippe!

That's the problem they think because Linux is free Linux users want everything for free, I'm not a gamer but I do support Linux, The distribution I use is well worth the price I would have had to pay for windows 7 so I donated $200 to them, and for their next release it will be the same donation, If people can spend their spare time making a distribution that's a pleasure to use then I can spend my money supporting them

Annnnnnnd we're behind again :)

The thing I worry most about is whether this bundle will set a precedent for what is cool for Linux/Mac titles in future bundles. Fingers crossed that it doesn't happen that way.

Yeah, the last build seems to have fixed most of the crashes.

Quoting: "whizse, post: 5555, member: 126"Nope.

This port was very, very rushed. They could have used another month of beating on it in testing :-/

Sure, but it's working pretty well here on my netbook despite said bug. I hope they fix all the remaining bugs soon.

I don't actually mind it so much personally. I'm a little bit worried that they give gaming on Linux and Linux in general a bad name though.

Aww, I already own all of the bonuses :(

Oh well, on the plus side Wizorb is super fun and I highly recommend it.

If not for the USC integration, I'd be kind of disappointed. But it seems that Wizorb looks nice. Still, a bit meh because of the Gratuitous Space Battles.

Well, unfortunately things are being a bit rushed in general with the Humble Bundles lately. I specifically waited until now to install Physconauts from HIB5 after hearing so many bug complaints, and instead opted to play Amnesia which I knew would work flawlessly. Physconauts is working fine for me now with the updated build, but it now looks like Torchlight is in the same boat. And the cycle will continue.

But as long as it is fixed eventually...

Looks neat. :)

Agreed, but the fact that they are supporting it with fixes is good at least it's not a port and be done with it type thing like I've seen from other places.

Is the faceless bug fixed?

Quoting: "Anon, post: 5551"Looking at the previous bundles, today in a couple of hours is pretty much certain. But nobody know how long it will take for Vessel to make a debut on Linux. That's the game I want the most!

The guys are working hard on it. They want you to have it as much as you do ^_^

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 5548, member: 1"I have been wandering how long it will be before we see some bonus titles...

They normally show up at the halfway mark, don't they? ;)

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 5547, member: 122"I'm going to posit that when Vessel makes an appearance, we'll likely see a further jump in Linux/MacOS numbers.

It'll also be interesting to see what impact the upcoming bonus titles will have as well.

I only briefly tried the very beginning it shows promise, seems like it could be a lot of text adventure style stuff, like choose an action, this happens etc.

interesting trailer, like the detailed inventory/character system it shows !!

While Adobe Air games are a bit buggy on Linux, they run and install fine.
On other note, you can get the first Cardinal Quest for $4 with other good games from here : http://www.gamersgate.com/indiefort-bundle
I'm not sure of the version they provide, but if it's Adobe Air, you can run it as "native" on Linux.
