Quoting: KelsI give them bonus points for never using the word "retro" on their Steam page.

:D

Humble Bundle PC & Android 9 Ups The Ante With Three More Linux Games
10 April 2014 at 5:56 am UTC

Quoting: berarmaIt's the first Unity game I have problems with. I guess it's using locale-aware number parsing functions for reading its data files, nasty. It might be some Unity plugin that is doing it.

The same workaround is needed for the first release version of Larry Reloaded (fixed in 2.0) and Chuck's Challenge. Try the demo of the latter to see funny graphical bugs.

Quoting: JIghtuseI hope they will announce Linux support someday.

I am optimistic about this, their have improved their Linux support from none to bundles only. They only need to take another step.

Quoting: scaineBecause he's more likely to play online, than on a LAN? Just a guess.

Ok, I'll admit there is a little difference because LAN multiplayer is more difficult to configure (specially when a VPN is needed) and it's usually restricted to people you know. On the other hand, it's faster and more reliable (specially in the long run).

I would like them to release a single DRM-free version and just disable the steamworks? features when unavailable. I'm afraid they have a different plan though.

Quoting: SXXThey promised DRM-free to Kickstarter backers and not anyone else. ;)

I just explained reason why they might decide to not sell DRM-free version publicly.

No worries then, if some of my LAN companions can't get their own DRM-free copies, we'll share mine.

Quoting: SXXIn same time inability to use online multiplayer it's kind a sad.

Why do you say so?

Quoting: RobertA version that can't be played offline looks more crippled to me.
Might be for you, but most of people fine about Steam because it's can run games offline. In same time inability to use online multiplayer it's kind a sad.

I'm not starting another DRM war. They promised both DRM-free and Steam versions and this is what I demand. DRM is an anti-feature and I won't believe in any technical excuse that forces it's implementation.

Quoting: SXXAs long as I remembered from Kickstarter campaign they want to use Steamworks for multiplayer so DRM-free version might looks crippled and this will also split player base into two independent groups.

Not so crippled:
DRM THIS!: As well as the Steam version, all $15 pledgers will be offered a DRM-free, caffeine free, gluten free, born free non-Steam version of the PC game to download. This version will have no Steamworks functionality and will support single player and LAN multiplayer only.

A version that can't be played offline looks more crippled to me.
