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.

Always good seeing more companies supporting Linux. Did he mention it was coming soon in a separate email or something?

By the way, GOL keeps logging me out even though I told it not to.

Also, Windows has a similar stigma in a sense to sell a Windows game, you have to brand it "PC". (to a degree) When Games that are popular on console, they say "PC" instead of "Windows". So, in a way, they hide the Windows name. (at least in a good portion of the time)

Well, in my opinion this streaming feature is not something the companies will have to adapt their games to run with, the job will be made by Valve, so, in this case, I think they are talking about a native port.

SteamOS = 3 things: linux + living room (big picture) + steampad


So when a company says steamOS, you know they will be working harder to optimize for the whole combo.


Is not that anyone is against linux. When they port or make their engine compatible, they already know is linux.

I think it's gonna be a linux port. If people wanted streaming, then they could just use Onlive. I see the only real purpose of streaming is for those people who have low end computers that cant play those new games. If all we did was stream games, then what would the need be for upgrading hardware on your desktop computer. I think sales for computer hardware would go way down.

Also, why make a steambox with high end power for streaming? When i use to stream Onlive on a laptop that was 5 years old. Dual core processor that ran at 1.2ghz, with 1gb of ram, just fine.

Thinking about it, usually consoles get the games like a month ahead from Windows, and other PC OS, so, when the game is out on SteamOS it is out on Linux, which means we get games before Windows XD

Funny cause all games are made on PC. Its like the battle between console and PC..people are all like 'oh consoles are better'...and im like..listen..you wouldn't have your console games if you didn't have PC..so shut up.

Onlive and SteamOS are (sortakinda) entirely different things. Online streams from the internet. All the beefy hardware is on their end. You just need a box to decode the signal, and send movement data back to Onlive. 

SteamOS streams over your network from your own Windows based PC. It's all coming from your stuff, straight from your house. You'll still need a nice, powerful machine if you want to play any high end games with the settings jacked up to max.

No! YES ! NO .. can't be! YES!
Gotta' love that! Bought .. as soon as they bring it for SteamOS. Lately I complained about too few RPGs on Linux :).

Quoting: Quote from Bumadarjust 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.

They use SteamOS as a term for Linux support. The reason may be that they will support SteamOS officially, but not other Linux distributions. You can not support all Linux Distros around the world as a commercial company, so they limit that one to SteamOS. If you get it running on other distributions you're support-whise on your own. That was to be expected, and will be done by most publishers in the future. But we'll get all that running - even without SteamOS.
