It's the ultimate combo between all Soldak's previous games. However i still prefer Drox Operative for its space setting. This week they started to talk about the next step : http://www.soldak.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37179

Also, i asked :

QuoteI'm curious, would you share numbers regarding Linux sells ? Is it worthy to support in your opinion ? Why did you do it ? Would you do it again ? Will you do it again for your next game ?

and Shadow/Soldak said :

QuoteIt looks like Linux might be about 3% of our sales. From a profit standpoint it probably has not worked out, but I think supporting Linux is nice for other reasons (open OS, don't like the direction Windows/OSX are going, good community, etc).

Unless I changed to a new engine that didn't have Linux support or radically changed the current engine, there really isn't a reason to drop Linux support. I've already done the hard work.

Feral = 30€
Steam Halloween sales = 15€
GMG = 7€

I'm struggling, not to buy it, or to by it cheap "for Windows", as i can't afford buying a game before next Xmas.

When i buy my foor a little more expensive too support local and organic, the final product is not the same. A plastic tasteless tomatoe, or a delicious one for 30% more.

But the game is the game, same exact final product...

Midway, if i buy it on Steam, what is the part going to Feral ?

I find Alien Isolation over rated. I got bored playig it maybe 4 hours, expecting "something" to happen i didn't actually expect while i was on a railed way, then quit. Had the same feelings with the Metro games.

Is it trusty : https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/mad-max/ About 7€ ? I usually buy on Steam, Humble, GoG or dev websites.

As a ruler, i feel i still don't have much to do, even with the DLC. I bought it Day 1 to support the game, because all i want is HoI/EU/CK with a non-historic base. So far, they didn't deliver. Yet ?

I recently discovered OBS Studio (http://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/wiki/Install-Instructions#linux), and i thought it was nice, but you already mentioned it, so... I didn't find anything close to it on Linux, and for free.

QuoteI think it's easily the best space strategy game available on Linux right now.

I think Star Ruler 2 + Rising Star mod has way more content and replayability.

I played one full game of Stellaris at release (12 hours), and i didn't feel i want to play it again since then.

Well, might work because they are "cute", but 99% of life on Earth is not "cute", more like juicy worms, discusting bacterias, disease carrying insects... and should be saved too to keep the chain safe (and us when we take place in the chain). Fun part is that the simple fact to write this message probably killed a bunch of life forms, due to pollution to get a computer and internet running.

I suppose it's still better to "save a pingoo" than nothing ?

Last release of Freeserf is from june 2013 if i'm right.
jonls.dk/freeserf/

Widelands is fun but a little too messy, tested it about a year ago.

It's more about story and exploration, and less about building. Also it has some very nice ideas like the wrist tool with its map and GPS, the way you can upgrade it with gems, and more. Back in 2014 i played about 32 hours to "finish" it without having the feeling of doing the same thinq.
