Maybe we can hook up, Rhyth. I only play multiplayer. We're the bad people making password protected games.

Funny that all those people wore the same shirt to work that day. What a coincidence.

Anyway, the gameplay looks really good. Looks like a game I'd have a lot of fun playing.

Diablo 3 killer? I guess I didn't know we were waiting for one.

RUINER is now in Beta for Linux, it's also an early unlock in the new Humble Monthly

Same here. I just used the affiliate link to sign up for Humble Monthly (again... I cancelled my subscription months ago). I mainly wanted Ruiner and Kerbal was a good bonus. Maybe I should have bought them individually because I feel like I am stealing these games. Dirt cheap coming from the Humble Monthly bundle.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI am very much interested in this, especially the co-op.
Anyone who played it co-op with any experiences?
I didn't even know it had co-op until you mentioned it, so I looked into it more. Steam reviews are mixed on the topic. I watched a co-op Twitch stream for a little bit. I don't know if this'll be my cup of co-op tea. Watching it makes me feel like I'd rather play NWN where each player has freedom of movement.

Man, I might have to get Humble Monthly after all.

I finally watched that gameplay video. I think I will have to get this game. It looks really exciting!

Quoting: Avehicle7887Another game I will most likely not buy because of pre order bonuses.

The situation as it stands:

The "Shadowhawk Pack" is a pre-order bonus and the game is releasing as a Windows+Mac first. As a Linux user I want to buy it once the Linux version is out which by the time that happens the pre-orders bonus is gone so goodbye exclusive skin.

Secondly there is the GOG + Multiplayer issue, the dev gave us no assurance the Linux version will be available on GOG. From past experiences, devs seem to magically wake up late to the "Galaxy isn't present on Linux" thing and that can easily mean no Linux for GOG.


Personally it doesn't make any difference to me paying full price now or at release, I'm more than happy to support hard work. However I'm not going to tolerate missing content just because I'm on a different platform. Pre-Order bonuses is bad marketing and they're shooting their own feet here.

I can kinda understand this post may not go down well for some people, but I've been burned twice by a similar situation and I'm not going to make that mistake again.
What you're saying only makes sense. There is zero reason to pre-order. We aren't getting the bonuses. And it's not like they're going to run out of copies. Buy it when it comes to Linux.

I am really looking forward to this game.
