If it boosts interest in Linux with developers, then that's great. I hope the games come to Steam though, as I won't be using this product.

Quoting: BotonoskiI never really expected Dwarf Fortress to ever officially use anything besides ASCII art.

It's supported tilesets for years. There's hundreds of different sets available if you don't like ascii.

See http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Tilesets

I've already wishlisted it, although I can't see myself moving away from the traditional version even if the new version does come to Linux. I'll still buy it once it comes over, just to support the dev.

I generally only wishlist games that have a Linux version. I don't want to explain to everyone who may buy me games not to buy any games off my wishlist that don't have a Linux version yet. They'll just forget or get confused.

That's awesome news!

I look forward to the day I can play all these games without wine/proton, and without all the bugs of the original engines. \o/

I'm continuing on with my Proton-enabled play through of Fallout: New Vegas, that's going well, not so many crashes these days. \o/ (water still acts weird though)

I grabbed Civ VI in the sale, but I've only played an hour or so in the Alexander the Great campaign, haven't played a traditional game of Civ in it yet.

I also grabbed Rise of the Tomb Raider, which is looking pretty good (only played about an hour again); War for the Overworld which is a great "sequel" to the Dungeon Keeper series, very fun; Door Kickers, which isn't as good as I thought it'd be; and Melody's Escape, I am really not very good at, but it'd be pretty fun if I had hand-eye co-ordination.

Quoting: 14I have Rise to Ruins on itch. I've only been able to get it to start up by installing it in a VM. The developer says the game can't run in jre versions shipped with Arch. I'm hoping that will change sometime. Since I have a pile of other games, I don't want to change my system jre to make just one work. Here's to hope. ^_^

Forgot to respond to this back when you made the comment, but it seems to run fine for me with jre8-openjdk. There is also jre8 in the AUR, which is what the devs ship with the Steam version (although they ship 1.8.0_202, and the AUR package currently packages 1.8.0_201).

Samsai did a playthrough on his Friday livestream and I had to stop watching because it was so good and I didn't want to spoil it for myself. Still need to pick it up, but I keep forgetting to add it to my wishlist.

EDIT: remedied.

I'm sure some people will enjoy this, but I can't see the point of shoehorning MP functionality into a classic SP game. Then again, I don't see the point of TES Online/Fallout 76 either. :|
