jeeez
it's war.. WE GOTTA CENSOR WAR!!! and all go to california to smoke some weed LOVE PEACE

I just don't understand why people get so worked up over it. There are hate groups to this day who use these symbols, so I understand why the developer wants to avoid using them, and I doubt doing so takes any fun out of the game, so what's the big deal? This game was never big on realism anyway.

Quoting: fleskI just finished the demo, and I liked it a lot. Definitely going to buy the full game once it's released.
The person in the painting freaked me out a little, I will admit. Has a lot of freaky charm to it.

Yes, I think it has a bit of the same atmosphere as the games from Killmonday Games and Atmos Games. Not really scary, but creepy for sure. The puzzles in the demo weren't overly difficult, but some of the hints were very subtle, and took some looking around to figure out. Took me almost an hour to complete.

Quoting: SolitaryHardly authentic WW2 when they deliberately censored the whole fact that you are actually fighting against Axis powers.

I don't think anyone ever played this game for its authenticity, and I doubt the removal of some racial symbols will make it any less fun.

With all the issues people have been complaining about, I don't mind the delays, if that means we'll get a more polished experience. Hopefully, I'll be able to make it past Saving Private Smith this time, with the use of video guides, since that made me rage quit back in the day. Loved the normal gameplay; hated the invasion sequences.

I'm also hoping the Linux version of Desperados 3 will be released soon, since we're getting close to the end of the summer, which was the estimated time frame from the announcement.

These are some of my favorite puzzle games, and this update seems like the perfect excuse to play them again. Would be nice to see his newer games on Linux too.

I haven't played Globesweeper, Patterna or Tametsi, but I'll have to check them out (if they are available for Linux). Thanks for the recommendations.

Another similar game, that I've enjoyed a lot is Puzlogic:

It gets pretty difficult, and I haven't finished it yet, but I pick it up again every now and then.

The 'Humble Headup Games Band Boost Bundle' is up with some fun looking stuff

Was The Inner World ever fixed for Linux? When I last played it, it was missing music and cutscenes, and used the lower res graphics and UI from the mobile version. Not a great experience, and I gave up on it pretty quickly.

Quoting: dpanterNote: Gothenburg might be a small city by international standards but it's still the second largest in Sweden with about 1 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area.

This sounded so Swedish to me. :D

I've been to Gothenburg a few times, and my first reaction when reading that part of the interview was no way is that a small town. It's not a very large city by German standards though, of course.

Quirky comedy point and click adventure 'Sol 705' is out now for Linux PC

Quoting: razing32What in the heck was that trailer ?
I feel like i need to be on some sort of hallucinogen to understand it ......

It's definitely a bit odd, but from what I've played so far, I think it captures the atmosphere of the game well. Although it doesn't really give a good impression of the gameplay, which is a classic point-and-click adventure, with a two-button action menu, and inventory items.

Also, I can't believe I didn't realize until I watched the trailer just now that "705" is "Sol" upside down.
