and not linux as some stretched goal, that is good :)

ps: lodestar got update 3 out, which includes the licensing that the source will be released, still quiet low on the number though :/

One thing that bugs me about the game is that you have a move command and a move shoot command, I mean why in this day and age can an RTS game not move and shoot at the same time requiring two options? RTS games have had this capability for years. It's one thing that put me personally off about it.

Surely you jest? :confused:

Anomaly Warzone IS TOTALLY EYE-CANDY. Haven't seen anything more beautiful on Linux sine Oil Rush. And there is some shooting action involved too!(unless i can get to see someone becoming paint on the walls - not interested)
Got myself a few games.
Some of them for pure support. Think to get some more.
Careful with deadly 30, don't make mistake I did, there is only 32bit Linux application, the one that says nothing - is for windows...

Good to hear it Rusty, would make the game much more playable!

seems like Carmageddon: Reincarnation might come to Linux as well.
but the bar is pretty high for the port. namely 600k

prolly wont reach to that point. but u never know..would be fun to play it on linux.
i remember good old carma 1 and 2 days:)...tdr wasnt so great tho.

I got scared looking at the list in their page and they added some more also.

very interesting they doing this, its almost like (yet) another new store, except depending on the game you end up at different stores, from humblestore to developers own stores. Shame Avadon not linking the linux version at Gamolith... odd ?

As I've written in LGN, while the 1st game will support Linux, the second game might not - it's publishers call.
So I dunno if it's wise to pledge $50 in hopes that the second game will also have a Linux client.

I've pledged for only one game, if the second one will have a Linux version - we can always decide to buy it later.

Plus - I suck at quest/adventure games ;)

needs more exposure though, not yet seen it on other linux sites (although I probably not know them all)

submitted it to Phoronix as he said he will post game news if he knows about it ....

Quoting: "Bestia, post: 4322, member: 148"It's already on Desura but somehow doesn't show in list of games for Linux. Type Achron in the search box of Desura and it will show.

There seem to be quite a few games in this situation: http://www.desura.com/forum/thread/digitanks-not-listed-as-gnulinux-game-despite-being-available

It's not updated on Desura yet either.

I might try it again now, but after buying it and pretty much disliking it after 15min of gameplay it has sit unused ever since :-/.
IMHO the main problem of horrible unit path finding AI doesn't seem to be addressed in this release either?

Got around to reading a bit of the kickstarter page, really looks promising and I like your honesty.

Best of luck.

Indeed, you are right. Strange...

Ya, I can't afford that right now either. The Journey Down used to be free I though, the version made in Adventure Game Studio, not sure if it would be run on linux though.

If somebody didn't make it to the Kickstarter than it's still possible to pledge through [URL='http://pinkertonroad.com/join-csg/']PayPal[/URL] up until 25th May 2012.

Rob blanc was based on the original spacequest series i think i read, Personally out of the AGS engine games i liked Larry Vales Dead girls are easy. There was also a kingsquest remake made with AGS.

Monkey island on the amiga was my first point n click and is still probably arguably the best one to this day

It does look good, its just the price putting me off £9.99 for the first chapter how much will we have to shell out for the full game?

I got introduced to point and click by Yatzhee's old adventure games (Rob Blanc and Arthur Yahtzee) and I played those mostly for the humour, which is a good compliment in such titles. That said, I have grown a little fond of point and click in general, even if I have never been all that good at finding the puzzles (though I am getting better!).

The thing you got to consider is that ten years ago many genres were said to be "commercially unviable", but slowly but surely the Indie revolution has proved them wrong, with platformers being the most prominent example (which is why we have some many!). Out of all of them though, it was the point and click adventure that was cast away from the commercial market the fastest, and was most considered something which could only be supplied by the hobbyist.

Double Fine and Moebius and The Journey down to grab something from another thread are just like Braid and Cave Story - they are trying to prove that such titles can still be viable. That is why they generate all the money and the like - the idea of restoring the genre seems worth saving to many people.

They should put this up on Desura, it might get it a bit more Linux attention.

The game looks great but the sole point stopping me from buying it is the "you must connect to us" to play a lan game. Really disappointing considering you get 2 copies for 19.99 (i.e. enough to be able to at least duel someone). I have zero issue with a one time online registration, but single player or mutliplayer lan should never need a continuous or even brief connection.

This is an awesome game! Such style and I love that music!

Anyone else think it sounds a lot like when Johnny Comes Marching Home?
