Quoting: GuestTried to add my system info, inputs are super limiting. 5 monitors is the max I can choose (I have 9). Resolution options are for a single monitor. OS/Distro/Dual boot options are limited. No GPU count so on and so on.

yeah, super limiting because the very rare cases like you can't select their almost unique situation. come on :P

Quoting: SamsaiOkay, some pessimistic observations:

€100,000 goal

since the game is being developed with Unity we don't expect the porting process to be too painful

Though we're currently developing on Windows

who knows what will happen between now and release

we will really try to launch at the same time

At least Linux wasn't a stretch goal but I myself will steer clear of the Kickstarter, as usual.

I actually got excited for a moment when I saw the trailer,until it showed the unity3d icon... I think we've all had our share of unity3d kickstarter projects that get developed on windows where the devs are "really excited" about a linux build.

Lets just hope this one really does make it to linux and doesnt have the performance of a 3 legged donkey on acid.

Some of the tools we're using aren't cross platform

but once the game is ready for thorough testing and public play we're going to do our best to make sure we can support linux from the start!

Is it so hard to just say the following ?

- We build the game on Windows.. for Windows. We use Windows middleware that has no linux version. We will not bullshit you and tell you we will get this working on linux, because it's just not going to happen.

Stop asking us for a linux version because we've already made it very clear we hardly know what linux is and are simply not interested in porting our game to linux.

Can't be too hard now can it ? ;)

"Not the most exciting of releases

Are you mad ?

this is an awesome release!
This brings back so many good memories of good old Amiga gaming times.

If anyone from VP is reading this:

So far, honestly, the interest has been pretty limited

Yeah I bet, I have my steam store filtered to show linux only games.
I've never even seen this game show up, how am I supposed to show my interest ? ;)

they're thinking the wrong way around.

What one game would blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

easy:

Carmageddon: Reincarnation

I'm not even interested in it anymore but yeah, it would blow my mind if they finally decide to release the damn thing as has been promised a LONG time ago.

Quoting: AimelaI'd personally rather see the more common distros support more up-to-date GPU drivers in their repositories.

This.

With arch it's a simple matter of sudo pacman -S nvidia.

it's easy to create a gui solution for that to prompt installation or a new update etc.

Get the new drivers in the repo's and the problem is solved.

Quoting: koyal13I recently update on Arch to this version... but I found a lot of games where appear freezes, bad renders and some suddenly "black textures". All are old problems that we have seen in the past, but I'm discovering on games like Grid Autosport, Mad Max and many of my best games (right now I cant try Deus).
Very bad update for me...

Just ran some tests, no freezing here, no bad renders and no black textures. Tried with Mad max, will try with grid once installed

Running arch here too
Kernel 4.8.8-2
Driver 375.20

We have something to say here which we've been meaning to for a while and might disappoint a couple of you.

A couple of you, well that says it all now doesn't it, they don't care, there's only a couple of people missing out anyway.

Quoting: TobiSGDIn other words: Hey, we just figured that we will make more money porting this to consoles, so screw you.

This.
Exactly this.

aiming to recapture the glory days of the AMIGA. Well, it has my interest on that alone.

This :D

instabuy if this comes to linux

Quoting: lijuDo You know what are the requirements for Amiga version? Trying to find it out, but neither official webpage nor the steam forums seems to bring an answer..

According to a dev:

AOS4: AOS 4.1, PPC >=700 MHz, Radeon that supports W3D or Compositing
MorphOS: MOS >= 3.6, Gfx card supporting TinyGL 3D acceleration
AROS: x86, gfx card supporting Mesa 3D acceleration

So thats a no go for my Amiga1200 :P
