They are inspired by Organ Trail which is inspired by Oregon Trail... Hello to the creativity!

Actually I am a big fan of Organ Trail and I think that classy, simplistic pixel look is better than poor 3D look like in this game. Also, what kind of recreation is that? Is 'oregon-trail' a new genre of game?

I still wish them best luck...

Ahhh, I remember visiting #rwr on Quakenet and nagging pasik, the RWR developer about Linux port :)

I totally support this one, it is hella entertaining, especially with friends, I played it quite much few versions ago. And the dev is a great guy really, always open and supporting towards community.

Quoting: Ilya

Quoting: hardpenguinI wanted to get it few months ago directly from game website, but I think that idea of distributing Linux version as sources in form to compile by yourself is rather silly in 2013 and now 2014.

I think it's rather nice to have the Source Code as well...

I am not saying that having source code is bad. I am saying that developer doesn't distribute Linux binaries (at least he did not til the Steam release). What kind of support is that? There are non-technical gamers among Linux users too. It is not like each one of us is compliling kernels all day long.

Quoting: Quote from gubsHmm, does anyone know if this works with Jagged Alliance Online?

It tends to have problems with more complex games but... Just try it out :)

Quoting: Quote from Half-ShotSounds really cool, I haven't had that much experience with Unity3D web games but I'm sure this can pave some of the way for developers that don't want to think about packaging games.

I'd say no. Pipelight is not an official solution and it has no warranty of working properly (while it mostly does). It is still Wine after all. This is not the right way for developers, but it is a good way for Linux gamers to widen their gaming possibilities.

Why not just bundle all necessary libraries (FFmpeg etc) in proper versions along with Castawesome? :3

Yeah, I played the early demo available on their website like a year ago or so and it was prety impressive already. Unforgettable atmosphere of survival and entertaining gameplay provided by interesting game mechanics. I will purchase it when it will be 100% complete.

A must-try for you guys! Demo version here: http://bluebottlegames.com/main/node/21

I've found another one worth backing up:

It is called Scraps and was featured already on GOL here:
