Money for nothing and chicks for free... low poly blockheads always remind me of that video. :)

I am reminded so much of "Cargo! The Quest for Gravity" ... I wish that could get a belated Linux port. I think it's a Source game, so how hard could it be? :)

I just grabbed Leaving Lyndow as it's currently dirt-cheap on teh Steemz :) ... Gave it a quick spin and it seems to work well. (Manjaro)

Quoting: LeopardIsn't it normal?

14 out of 2 Linux support

BTW , i've never heard this company nor their games before this news

It's not a game publisher (kinda, I guess) or game maker. It was originally a site for web games, mostly Flash. It's where devs like Edmund McMillen got their start. I think this new move is mainly because Flash is dead.

The developer of sandbox RPG Kynseed would bring it to Linux 'if the demand is there'

Protip for devs: There's ALWAYS demand for Linux builds. It's not an indicator of how well it will sell.

If you'd be ok with 1% Linux sales and ecstatic with 5%, then port it. That's the likely range you are looking at.

Regarding retro graphics. Yes, it was originally a technical limitation, but so was painting. Yes, they do it for nostalgic purposes usually, but why is that bad? Doesn't mean we have to throw out the aesthetics as we invent new ones? We did not stop drawing on canvas when art software became popular.

The value in keeping these older art styles is plenty. Working within the limitations causes you to think about how to present things, fundementally changing the way you communicate ideas. They are forms of art and we should not let it die.

Farm Together is actually quite a relaxing and sweet experience, now in Early Access

Sadly the current build does not seem to like my Manjaro setup. I'll hang on to it though.

EDIT: Seems it works if I launch the 32 bit executable. Will report bug.

Ha! Fools - it's obviously a bait-and-switch tactic. Upon release you'll learn that it was Skyrim all along.

I bought my Logitech wheel just for ETS2 and it changed the entire experience for me. Suddenly the Zen amped up to 11.
