Maybe make the closing date a Sunday next year so you get the weekend off :P

Some good games, tools and developers up there!

Perfect, thanks!

Might be worth keeping it there for a while after voting closes and winners are announced, so people can get to the results easily.

EDIT: this is probably covered by "open to the public". Ignore my noise. :P

Unrelated to the on-going discussion, please could the GotY page be added to the Sections dropdown menu at the top of the website? I've seen that there's a notification about it, but it only seems to appear once every three or four page visits, and you can dismiss it, so there isn't an easy, consistent way of getting to the page*.

* You can search for the article and get the link that way, but that only seems to show up in the results if you explicitly search for "GOTY", and I can't seem to add "Game of the Year" or "Awards" to the tags (presumably because they aren't tags you've used before).

There's experimental memory mappings out for those apps that use them (notably Dwarf Therapist), get 'em here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=168411.msg8084369#msg8084369 [External Link]

Not tested them yet myself, but if you're at the size of fort where managing labours is becoming laborious, and can't wait for DT to release an update, they may be of use to you.

Everyone's stinks but mine. :P

Yeah, there's no need for all that. Mouse support is there where it makes sense (i.e. to make it easy to draw things, which is awkward and time consuming to do with just keyboard). Adding mouse-driven menus and buttons would just slow things down and add nothing to the game. :|

Quoting: TheSHEEEPNow that the most important feature, animal petting, is in, maybe now they will have time to work on minor, unimportant stuff like.... F*CKING MOUSE SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I tried to play it. I even succeeded (well, as much as you can succeed until everyone goes mad).
But what a chore to play without mouse support.
I won't even take another look at it while this isn't in - which likely means I'll never take another look at it, I know.

It's had mouse support for over a decade. It's even enabled by default:

data/init/init.txt:
Change this to NO if you don't want to have the mouse involved at all.

[MOUSE:YES]

:P

Quoting: ExpalphalogAs someone who knows little-to-nothing about the "under the hood" parts of Linux, how likely is this to be working on Steam Play in the future? It's the only cross-platform game that my friends on the other side of the country play together and I would rather keep playing with them than get a refund.

However, if the outlook is not good, I would rather get my refund now then wait. Rip the band-aid off, as it were.

Not sure about DX11 and how well wine works with that.
Also as some have pointed out , if they implement Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) you can consider it dead. That cannot be run on Linux and attempts to do so may be seen as cheating and land you a ban.
Refund and if it works with Proton later get it back on a sale.
Only bad part you can only refund base game , not DLC and other stuff you may have bought.

Seems to be a few people in this topic getting the DLC refunded too. I assume any microtransactions can't be refunded though.

I initially got in touch to get a refund, but then I realised that I got the game free with my Steam controller, so there didn't seem much point continuing with that process.
