Quoting: CyrilAnyone know if the GOG version will get the multiplayer mode?
If not I'm afraid it won't receive updates anymore...

Quoting: GuestAlso wondering if the GOG version gets multiplayer, cross-platform with the steam version, or not.

" Multiplayer feature available only in the Windows version "

The sad reality of most multiplayer games on gog (ب_ب)

But this is old, at the time the Linux version didn't have yet multiplayer...

Crowdfund.

Games.



If you support a game on Kickstarter and it ends up like 99% of everything else on Kickstarter, you can't really be surprised.

Stop.

Telling.

Lies.

Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG released for Linux plus gamepad support

Quoting: Liam DaweCurrently GOG does not have a Linux build.
Well, in fact, GOG does have a Linux build (and I can confirm personally, the installer is up-to-date and not dead). It is just that GOG, being GOG, failed to add the Linux logo. Again.

Yeah that kind of thing is boring as hell... And the contrary exists too! Some games have the Tux icon but doesn't have a Linux version!

Quoting: CyrilFor Backbone, did you added a key of the game in your account already?

Yes, but that's hardly relevant; it was added in anticipation of the promised Linux support - they broke that contract, not me. If they really care, I believe they can invalidate the key.

On GOG, at least, I don't think they can. On GOG if you bought any game that disappear one day, you can still download it from your library. I don't have any example that proves me wrong on that.
But I agree with you, the fault is on their side.

Quoting: PhlebiacI requested a refund of my Kickstarter pledge yesterday; let's see how long it takes for them to follow through. Another one that seems likely to be breaking their promise is "Edge of Eternity" - when asked about the promised Linux version, they reply "you can play it on Linux with Proton" - not exactly what we backed for the Kickstarter project, is it?

Wait, seriously? God, what a joke...

For Backbone, did you added a key of the game in your account already?
I'm a backer too.

Quoting: BeamboomIs it just me, or do most kickstarter projects with a promised Linux version end up like this? I feel it's happened over and over and over now...

No, see this:

Quoting: pageroundThis is great, thanks Liam for putting a spotlight on projects like this (and Pioneer the other day).
Does anyone know if fheros2 in a state that I could use it to play through HoMM2? I have it off of GOG, but have never played it.
Thanks to everyone working on this :)

You sure can play it! I played with fheroes2 some months ago, I admit, and didn't start a new game recently, but it was perfectly fine for me!
So now it's even better... and we're even closer to the 1.0 release.

It looks gorgeous. When I first saw the KS page and didn't see mention of Linux I thought "that's too bad for a dev who supported their first game on Linux very nicely"... So I'm very happy to see this stretch goal, I trust them to keep the promise if the goal is achieved!
