Virtual Programming Are Working To Improve The Witcher 2 On Linux

Quoting: gbudnyhardpenguinMacs always come with NVIDIA card on board, so it is a bit more standarized platform than Linux (install on any hardware, yay!)
I think that you did not to have a chance to use own Mac computer because you did not tell the truth about graphic cards. From my point of view, they sell computers with Intel, ATI, and Nvidia graphic cards. I did not notice any standardization in this case, and I say this as a Mac and Linux user.
Omahgad, you are right, I just noticed that. I once was on Apple's website and all models they suggested to me were with NVIDIA on board ;3

THEN THERE IS NO EXCUSE, LINUX VIDEO GRAPHICS DRIVERS IMPROVE NOW

Virtual Programming Are Working To Improve The Witcher 2 On Linux

Give them some time... Most important thing is, they will work on that port and they wanna learn from their mistakes. If it worked for Macs it should work for us - the difference is, Macs always come with NVIDIA card on board, so it is a bit more standarized platform than Linux (install on any hardware, yay!)

And if you think that CDP is not involved, you are probably wrong, because I doubt that Virtual Programming would fix their Witcher port for free, out of kindness. The guy above is right about support in big companies. It is often much easier to contact actual developers than publisher.

I'm interested, if they bring first Witcher to Linux, too (yes, it is available for Mac already). I wanna play the whole trilogy!

Yes for the game, no for the Adobe AIR. Seriously, why using this crap again?

I better go see some Beksinski works...

Unity3D Web Player In Linux Browsers Thanks To Pipelight

Quoting: S BrookDoes not seem to work on any games, even the suggested test one, on my system. Running Fedora 19 with both Firefox 29.0.1 and Google. Everything installed OK, enabled the plug in which shows up in the Add Ins list as Unity. But whichever site I try, I just get the Unity3D has crashed errors :(
Many games do not work. But I just tested Race The Sun and it still works very fine to me. Report any problems to Pipelight developers/community, I am sorry but I can't provide you any support.

Heileen 1: Sail Away Visual Novel Now On Steam For Linux
6 June 2014 at 9:51 pm UTC

Well, Winter Wolves guy is crazy, he is capable of making anything from Ren'py, including RPGs and strategies. So not all of those are just classic visual novels (most of them are adventure games). IMO Heileen is one of worst games from Winter Wolves, it doesn't offer anything interesting, it only creates the illusion of choice... But I liked Nicole, Always Remember Me nad Vera Blanc: Full Moon :)

Groove City, A Mini-Sequel For Electronic Super Joy A Musical Platformer

Michael will fix this, he's a nice guy :)

I recommend this game heartily, Electronic Super Joy series got the hardcore feel of Super Meat Boy, a difficult platformer that is much better played with gamepad

Quoting: entropyWay to go!

Meanwhile CD Projekt still thinks that eON approach was a good choice, I guess.
It worked great on Mac.

I think that eON just needs polishing (and of course we, Linux users cannot be laboratory animals anymore, at least not when final version of products are released).
