Quoting: g000hTempting - Currently it is 25% off in the Humble Sale.

EDIT:

Even more tempting - you get the GOG key and Steam key from the Humble purchase.

Great, now I see this! :P Oh well, more money for the developer (I just bought it on Steam).

To get back on topic, since I ended up getting the bundle anyway, is there any one of these games that anyone can recommend from a gameplay/story perspective? I have no issue with any sexualised content, but I do want to play something that has either a decent story or good gameplay, not something that just has "some other purpose".

[...] But is it this Space Tyrant you're talking about? http://store.steampowered.com/app/562230/Space_Tyrant/ Not sure what's 'gay' about it... [... ]

[...] The capitalization hints at " My Ex-Boyfriend" being part of the game title, though I didn't double-check. [...]

My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant
Store blurb: "My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant is a traditional point-and-click adventure which stands out for its gay cast and eye-catching visuals."

Seems about right :)

Found this video?

Thanks for the find! No, I hadn't seen that, I just clicked a few of the videos on the Humble page.

The theme is certainly a lot more appealing than the usual fantasy theme (which I must admit, I'm rather tired of), but I hope they spent some time polishing the audio side a bit before release; I would tire of those sounds quite quickly.

Hm seems to be crashing for me on launch; [...]
File "/usr/bin/vineyard-preferences", line 177, in __init__
icon = icon_theme.load_icon(page[1], height, gtk.ICON_LOOKUP_USE_BUILTIN)
glib.GError: Icon 'harddrive' not present in theme

How did you install it? That code hasn't been in Vineyard for quite some time :/

Quoting: tomaszgThe torrent seems to be Windows only :(

That's where the pirates are :)
In light of their statement though, the Linux version would make sense to include as well.

Quoting: CybolicWell, to be fair, Vineyard is also GTK2. I have a feeling there are a few people running statistical Windows programs on Puppy Linux who'd be rather upset with me if I upgraded to that bloated new GTK version ;P

Sure, and then they whine about every other modern feature they personally don't happen to need at this particular moment. They can always stick to an older version of the software. But obviously you should build a curses UI for them. [...]

Well, I'm mostly basing it on my own experience, where I had to run a specific piece of graphing software for Windows for a math course on my previous aging laptop and there was no way I would ever be able to get it to run anything as new as GTK3.
Times may have changed though; I might need to run a poll at some point :)

Quoting: ShmerlLately, I wanted to make some tool like that myself, after realizing that POL is basically a dead project. But I'll probably stick to some basic scripts :)

Their Wine builds are still updated though. Which is my main usage of it, the ability to switch out various wine versions.

Yup, POL's Wine builds are definitely a winning feature! Vineyard supports them, btw. but you still have to install them through POL (I don't want to leach off their bandwidth and hard work). A Wine build repository not linked to any specific tool would be awesome though.
