Kathy Rain: Director's Cut announced and will support Linux

Quoting: Purple Library GuyMaybe. Probably not, even. But we have no real way of knowing. And the issue for modern cigarette companies is not competition with each other, it's fighting off attempts to make the whole product irrelevant, so brand isn't so much the point. If I were a cig manufacturer, I'd pay for that placement--they're right in the game description, part of the character's self-definition, part of what "makes her cool" . . . it's gold.
Ok, I get what you mean. Marketing for the whole product. I absolutely cannot believe though this could be the case in a game with such a small target audience. It's not worth any hazzle.

(And if you're into point and click and are fine with longish dialogues, you're really missing something.)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI'm also not wild about the whole "product placement" thing, even if it's not cancer sticks.
This is not product placement. It's just someone with a (very) bad habit. It's not like they're showing you she's smoking the great whatever cigarettes...

No exact date yet but we do also know there should be a discount if you owned the original.
The link in this text in the article doesn't seem to work?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI know it's ridiculous, but I find myself thinking "I'd be more interested if she wasn't a smoker."
It's ridiculous!
(Yes, I had to! :D )

Seriously: If you're into point and click and quite some talking, do get it.

Quoting: AwesamLinuxLooks good!. I'm curious if the Director's Cut uses an updated/extended version of AGS? Or if they have moved the game to a completely different engine. I know some developers have struggled with AGS games being unstable on Linux.
Quoting: articleClifftop Games mentioned this was created from the ground-up in a modern up-to-date game engine

Seems companies are not believing in a bright future of the engine...

"Denuvo Anti-Cheat will not prohibit Linux users from accessing single-player and non-competitive multiplayer features of their games"

Ain't it great? It's anti-cheat - not anti-DRM! - and will not prohibit single player stuff!?!
