Oh wow, the original Colonization was one of my favourite games on the Amiga! Pirates was a bit buggy, but still hella fun. Never played Covert Action.

Liam leaving really is a sad thing to happen, but it would be even worse for GOL to throw in the towel.

So long as articles are being written, I will keep donating (although I suppose I should switch over to this newfangled funding thing, rather than direct paypal payments).

I hope the GOL community can pull together and get through this. :)

Nice report. :)

Filled in the new survey. I mentioned it there, but the propriety options in the drivers question may not be very helpful in it's current form. What is in the official repos in one distribution, may be unofficially supported in another.

For example, catalyst is unsupported on Arch, but Ubuntu may include it in the official repos.

I'd just group them together and just have a single "propriety" option.

This had dropped off my radar a bit, but it's great to see an update about it!

I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on this.

The new version doesn't even load for me. I'm sat listening to birds chirping/cawing while looking at a frozen screen where I've clicked "Join Server". :(

Balls. The GameAgent site's working now, but they only accept credit card, or some "clickandbuy" rubbish. :|

Why can't companies make it easy for me to give them money? :'(

Trying it buy it through GameAgent.com, but the site's not loading for me. Works fine on a proxy though, but I'm not putting my paypay/debit card info into a proxy. :/

Launches for me. :o

Edit: Seems to get stuck downloading third-party content though. I've been trying to connect to community de_dust2 server for a while, and it's stuck on downloading some spiderman skin tarball. :c

2nd edit: Okay, just played a few rounds on some confusing new map. It plays really well on nvidia hardware (GTX 560 Ti) with nvidia's blob. (surprise surprise)

The menu system is gonna take some getting used to. Oh, and like all Valve games, it's hardcoded to a qwerty layout (so it thinks I'm using "WASD", when actually I'm using ",AOE".

Quoting: render

Quoting: kozecHow is anyone supposed to volunteer into porting? Did they released source code or something?

Anyone that wants to work on the port needs to be NDA'd because a portion of the codebase is proprietary, but we will consider just about anyone offering to work on it, and have NDA'd several people in the past few days to do exactly that.

Out of curiosity, how many people did you DNA 18 months ago, back on March 15 2013?

Still no sign of the Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams port that was promised a couple of bundles back..

This doesn't look like a bad bundle though.
