Counting Steam thread numbers as a 1:1 indicator of demand is nonsense at best. It's well known that for every person to come forward with a request like that, there are many others who want the product but don't post there for whatever reason. Maybe they don't think it'll do any good. Maybe they don't read Steam forums at all. Maybe they're shy. Whatever, the majority of interested parties will never post in a "Linux port?" thread.

This just sounds like the dev looking for an excuse not to make a port without actually saying that.

Tempted to get that low tier of the Jumbo Bundle just for Epistory, although I hear Oddworld is pretty good. Don't really know anything about that, but I tried the Epistory demo and liked it so I know that's worth it on its own.

Quoting: KelsDo you have to have the games installed for it to pick them up? I own Hand of Fate on Steam, but it says "not found in Steam library".

Next to "No eligible games found" is a button labeled "refresh". Try hitting it. I wasn't getting TWD: Michionne to connect, and refreshing resolved it.

That did the trick, thanks.

You just have to own them and you need to set you Steam profile to "public". Also, you need of course to connect your GOG and Steam accounts for it to work.

All of which I've done, and there were three other games that did transfer.

A couple of those weren't installed either, so I have no idea why it won't recognize that one game.

Quoting: KelsOh, I missed that part. Personally, I'd rather have the choice between campaign and sandbox, given the choice.

So, given the choice, you'd like to be given the choice?

Yes, that would be choice.

Unlike Tropico, which Haemimont Games previously worked on, they're going for a more sandbox approach instead of following some sort of campaign.

Oh, come on!!! I hate open-ended games like that, a Campaign is the way to go. I like to play games like if I was reading a book, follow along an interesting, captivating story, not arranging random pieces of loosely coupled fragments of tales here and there. I guess I'll have to buy [url=undefined]Maia[/url] instead.

Of course most city builders haven't got much in the line of a story, just a tutorial, but I think a science fiction concept like this is more suited to one.

I like exploration a lot, but there's nothing in the trailer or description that entices me to try this one. Having to install libraries is a turn-off too.

Quoting: PhiladelphusAnyone with a telescope can look at Mars by eye (as I've done, as an astronomer) and verify that it actually is that color. No conspiracy theories needed. :)

You can also visit Mauna Kea in Hawaii if you'd like an example of someplace that red here on Earth (it's the best Mars-analog we have, they test rovers there before sending them to Mars).

The famed "bright red mud" of Prince Edward Island in Canada (excellent potato growing soil) comes to mind as well.

Quoting: SamsaiThe only positive thing I can really say about World of Castles is that it has plenty of shatters.

It's almost like they're infinite!
