Two Worlds III is on the way as well, and it will probably support linux too https://www.facebook.com/TopwareInteractive/posts/10153973662430761

I love GOG but that is the worst thing about them. There are several dozen games on there that have yet to add their already finished Linux ports.

Quoting: GuestMore work up front, but less work in the long run. Little to no worrying about various drivers having various bugs on various platforms...better performance...I think Vulkan should be chosen for anyone writing an engine.

Unreal 4, Source 2 and EA/DICEs Frostbyte engine will all support Vulkan. I'm hopeful for a big increase in the number of games that will release with Linux support.

I agree with your comments about not pre-ordering. I pre-ordered Total War Warhammer as it had Linux support announced, and now on the Steam page only has Windows is listed as an OS :( I've asked the community manager what the plans are for Linux, but not had any reply. I can understand that the developers run into issues but I just wish they would keep people informed if their release plans change.

Ok, just purchased from Steam. Initial download of 0kb. Directions have steps out of order. There is no linux beta option until you put in the code. After that it downloaded 500MB. Havent really played, just made sure it ran. There is a launcher where you can select your resolution and quality. One bug I noticed is selected isn't visible. It may be that white text is selected on a white background. This is 1920x1080 selected in the right hand column and "good" in the left.

Overreacting much? Modern day Atari has always been crooked, but I don't see what they did wrong here. Most linux game release have never been day one. They NEVER promise a day one release. They simply said they're targetting a Linux release date.

Glad I held off preordering - should have seen this coming when the initial betas were Windows only. Oh well, got Parkitect to keep me busy - at least they've kept to their promise of a Linux version rather than the same old story of 'not being ready' - AKA pushed to the side so they're only working on the Windows version and then when they finally get round to doing it it takes far longer than it would have done if they had worked on it at the same time.

Downloading...
I got it on the Indiegala August heat bundle on my Windows Xp era.
If I like it, Im gonna buy it again for my new 100% Linux Steam account.

I wonder how many linux betas are there that we don't know about.

This was actually the ONLY Linux game I was looking forward to lately. It saddens me that they did this. I didn't pre-order but I was thinking of buying it and waiting, but then I seen this new article.

Quoting: jakejw93Interesting. What times/dates do you do these podcasts? And what would one have to do to get involved?

The podcasts are currently recorded twice a month on saturday night/sunday morning usually at either 10 pm or 12 am UTC. As far as being on them a decent mic and willingness to be recorded is all that is really needed.

Ooh! Memories! Is it alike in gameplay?

Well crap, I just got this game yesterday on the Gog sale and spent a good 45 minutes getting it to run... I'll probably get it on Steam though, considering it might take forever (if at all) for the Linux version to get onto Gog.

Don't be like that, they just haven't uploaded the SteamOS build yet. We won't have Day-1 release for all our game. They probably remove the SteamOS mentions so that Linux people don't buy the game now but only after Linux release as to avoid messing up the numbers.

Also they did add the Linux depot as the same time they added the Windows one, yesterday (SteamDB. It was no mistake, they just haven't uploaded the the Linux build yet.

I'm just glad i waited instead of forking out money that would have possibly gone to waste. I was a bit leary from the start anyway. only certain devs that have a known good track record with Linux are the ones I will fork money toward in an early access or crowd fund.

Until I see it pop up in the steamdb I'm not going to worry with it. I'm surprised Aspyr hasn't ported RT3. Although I would prefer a wine port of RT2 though, that would be nice :)

Never heard of this game, but looks awesome, the type of game I want ported to Linux. Already on the wishlist.

Finally I loved both titles and bummed the second one for days. I thought they just abandoned the project since everything went kinda quiet. I'm so happy right now :)

Quoting: GuestWith nvidia now having dkms in their proprietary driver, hopefully soon we'll have pretty-looking booting screens, too.

Sadly, we won't, because it doesn't use the kernel implementation of KMS and lacks fbdev driver. :-(

Works without issues for me. The game is very similar to TIS-100, but much easier so far, and with the trademark Tomorrow Corp. storytelling. I'm enjoying it a lot.

Nice! I bought both "deluxe" editions of the 2 "Two Worlds" games years ago. However I never really got around to playing either of them (which is kind of weird since crpgs are my favorite genre)

Still, I certainly hope that the first game gets ported as well. I'm kind of pedantic when it comes to playing games "by the numbers" and when it comes to a series I really want to go through the full series in the proper order (unless it stinks of course) :P

Quoting: KeyrockTwo Worlds 2. I played this game years ago. It starts off weak, gets better through the mid part, then gets worse near the end, capping off with what I consider to be the single worst final boss fight I have ever had the displeasure to play.

QuoteThey aren't saying exactly when the SteamOS & Linux support will land, but it's likely in "Q2 2016" along with the first DLC named "Two Worlds II: Call of the Tenebrae" (take a look at the logos listed there now too).

It's the first recent DLC. There's already a DLC called Pirates of the Flying Fortress. It's slightly better than the base game, largely because the final boss fight isn't awful and the loot is marginally more interesting.

Poor wording on my part, I meant the first of the new announced DLC.

No great loss - nothing in there that can't be had on MAME anyways....

Seems like something I might enjoy.

Darn, I was looking forward to this. I was going to preorder at full price too so that i could participate in the early access. I'll keep following the game for now, but they won't get my money until Linux playability is more concrete...

Little Inferno is a strangely compelling little game. I just recently re-played it and it is brutally ironic while being fun to play. There is really nothing else quite like it.

I look forward to this one!

Vendetta is a sad blood stain on Reality Pump, but Two worlds 1 & 2 still one of my favorites euro RPGs!

Still hoping someday i get to playthorough Vendetta, seems a great pirate game!

I even got a beta key back there!

Looks neat... There is quite the number of Steam user reviews complaining about overreaching DRM though... On the Steam page it does say the game incorporates 3rd party DRM "Reality Pump". Apparently it locks you of the game if it detects hardware changes. Any word on if they will be trying to incorporate this kind of thing into the Steam O/S version?

Quoting: enzTo be fair, he said "we are targeting a release on Steam OS", which sounds more like an intent than a promise. A promise would have been if he had said "we will do a release on Steam OS".

That's exactly the same meaning, but adjusted wording.

I hope it will have cross platform multiplayer :)

Isn't this the same publisher as RollerCoaster Tycoon World? It sounds like Atari has some serious internal and external communication breakdowns.
