Well, this is not really a GOG/Galaxy issue here, the devs just refused to release the Linux version as single player only on GOG, they could do it but didn't want to.
It would have been better than nothing, the devs of Northgard did that.
Plus, don't forget that the macOS version is missing on GOG too, so what is the excuse then?
Guys, don't get it wrong... the devs are not trustworthy.

Very addictive that type of game, I finished it and it was just great.
Too bad there isn't, for now, an endless mode after you kill the final boss.
The second pilot, Artemis, is the best for me.
But unlike Vampire Survivors you can't move at the screen's edge and discover the map, here you're stuck in that window and sometimes it's hard to escape enemies etc.

There's VCMI - but it seems to be a stalled project.

Yeah it's exactly what I meant, this project is not very active, at all...

Getting homm3 instead of homm2 so I can use fheros2

Quoting: anewsonI've been playing the 3rd one with an HD patch, but every time I see news on this cool project I regret my choice

What do you mean by that?

Quoting: redneckdrowI've had this game on my wish list for some time, but after seeing the preview image I may remove it.

Seeing someone get sprayed with vomit that looks like literal $#%^ is a bit too gross.

Did you ever played, like, Left 4 Dead?

QuoteThe aptly named Good Old Games Week runs from April 29 - May 9.

Last time I checked, a week ran for seven days. As such, I would be hesitant to call it aptly named ;)

If you don't count week-ends, that's seven days.

Fingers crossed for a GOG/itch.io release!

Quoting: GuestFrom a couple of months ago on an AMA:

From that wording, GNU/Linux won't have a native release (no surprises there).

It's a bit of a surprise there, or should I say disappointment, since Northgard did have a Linux native version, in which one could play-through the whole campaign, and also multiplayer, in what seems, from my own experience, fully cross-platform multiplayer, with pretty decent amount of players online to play with.

And there are not many other games out there, which check all those points.

Yes, Northgard works perfectly natively (and it is ridiculously light - look at the requirements, 1GB of RAM). Multiplayer works cross-platform with Windows, but not with console or mobile afaik. And they are using the same engine, which they make, so they have the know-how and at least some old code they could use.

Honestly, considering how they were willing to port Northgard to absolutely every platform they could, how they work hard on keeping system reqs low, how they open-sourced their engine and created their own language, and how chill they seem to be... I think they will at least give some actual, serious consideration to the native port in the future. (As opposed to the canned, non-committal response most studios give). No surprise that Linux native isn't available during Early Access, and with Proton how it is might not be worth their time to do a whole new version for such an ambitious project... but then, if/when they are working on other ports it might just be worth it anyway.

Yeah cool, sure, but don't forget the Linux version of Northgard on GOG is single player only, too bad they rely on Galaxy for it.
