About
A breathtaking journey into Antaloor's past.

After the downfall of Aziraal, God of Fire, the Dark Lord Gandohar has nearly achieved his objective to disrupt the balance between the elements. Dark magic surges into the land to fill the void. Recognizing the potential for complete control over the dark powers, Gandohar starts to use the power of Aziraal trap within Kyra, the descendant of the Orphans. Despite her ancestry, Kyra cannot endure the strain. With Antaloor already in his clutches, Gandohar concocts a new plan from his stronghold in Oswaroth. There are still those who struggle against the tyrant, hoping to shift the balance of forces in their favor. The fight for Antaloor continues...

Five years have passed since dramatic events brought the whole world to the edge of the abyss. The hero is a prisoner in the dungeons of Gandohar's castle. His hopes of saving his sister vanished with his freedom. Just as despair threatens to overcome him, hope comes from where he would have least expected. The Orcs, a race the hero had always hated, have put together a rescue squad that frees the hero from his bonds. He emerges into a land desecrated by evil. He embarks on a journey to shed light on Gandohar's dark past, hoping to discover a weak point in his enemy's defense. If he fails, he will lose his sister forever.

Anyone else got that 'whatever you do, don't call it Linux' vibe?

Yep

This game and the 'pirates of the flying fortress' DLC are currently on sale at indiegala.com as part of a bundle which includes Crusader Kings 2 and Knights of Pen and Paper  for $5.69 minimum (there are links in the sales section).

Of course, it's better to wait for a port to actually materialise rather than buying on the strength of a promise that might not eventuate. 

That said, I'd buy that bundle for Crusader Kings 2 alone if I didn't already own it!

That's because there's a Linux Stigma. The only way to Sell Linux is to hide Linux. Linux has this stigma of being inconvenient, difficult, irrelevant and a toxic community.

You sell Linux in mobile by calling it "android" and make everything brain dead simple.

You sell Linux in the Enterprise by making it a package in a solution like Red Hat.

You "sell" Linux on the Desktop by making it Ubuntu.

Indeed. You cannot find 'Linux' anywhere on ubuntu.com for quite some time now. It has it listed only as a meta keyword ;)

just a question here:

"we are working on a steamos version"

this can mean 2 things not ?
 1- we are working on a linux version but we don't like to use the word linux
 2- we are making it so that this pc game which is normal keyboard/mouse controlled is now really well playable with a controller so it works great when you stream it to steamos (so not necessarily a linux version)

maybe am to sceptical.
Renzatic Oct 12, 2013
I'm gonna say more 1, less 2. Valve is trying to build a brand here, so they'll probably want people to say SteamOS as much as possible to get the word out about it.

If it's 2, then some people are being so cheesy with their wordplay, it almost borders on false advertisement. If they say it runs on SteamOS, then that should mean it runs natively on SteamOS. Not "Yup! That's right, folks. It runs perfectly well on SteamOS...if you've got a fully functioning Windows PC located elsewhere in your house to stream it off of. Hehehe :shifty eyes:".

I would imagine that any company, right now, that is "porting to SteamOS" is making is Linux compatible.

My main reasoning being that said streaming service does not currently exist so companies are less likely to know exactly what the requirements for it are going to be.
