Nice! I pre-ordered this ages ago (during the Last Life kickstarter wrap party), and he was saying it would definitely be for Linux from the start. That was before his heart condition slowed down development of course.

So I'm not surprised to see he's still committed to a multi-platform approach. 100% looking forward to release.

My enthusiasm for this game has been eroding since I learned that questing and lore aren't really big parts of the game, and this just speeds the process along. I'll probably be skipping this one.

Quoting: Mountain Man

I know everyone doesn't celebrate the same occasions and holidays and what-not, so I will simply say Happy Holidays and wish you all the very best.

Screw political correctness and just say, "Merry Christmas." Anybody who doesn't like it can shove off.

This is the last place I expected to see that nonsense....

(psst..."Happy Holidays" traditionally meant Xmas plus New Year's and (American) Thanksgiving, and goes back further than at least the 1860s - learn your history)

And all the best to you too, Boss! Same to all the staff and the fine commenters, and the regular chatters on the Friday livestreams as well!

Wouldn't it be hilarious if, thanks to this beta, the Linux version ended up as less buggy than the Windows one?

black and white look with some colors like police sirens and fire are nice touch though.

From everything I've seen of the game, that's the one thing they really did right.

Can we please not brand this game as controversial? I don't think we should be sending the developers the hint that we're (in any way related) to feminists.

Why shouldn't we call it controversial? Being controversial is the whole point of the game and all its marketing. If it wasn't controversial, nobody would have bought it to start with. As it is, an awful lot of the sales were driven by a desire to "stick it to the SJW's", most of whom had already basically shrugged their shoulders and walked away once it released and turned out to be a hot mess. The suckers still buy it though, thinking it'll piss somebody off.

Seriously, why would someone release this game at all if they were scared of being called "controversial"?

I've been wanting to play this for SO LONG! I never thought they'd actually do a port, and I'm so happy to see it coming.

Holy crap, this looks like EXACTLY the kind of thing I'd love. This is definitely one to watch for, at least for me.

Hmm. Lack of world flavour, which quests help communicate when done decently, is a pretty big negative for me. I'm still interested, but my enthusiasm just dropped a lot.

I gotta say, your articles about this game have me really excited to give it a try on release, and see how far I can go as a F2P player.

When I play oldschool WoW (WotLK era), I'm all about the quests and general flavour of the world. How does Albion stack up in that regard?

The Thea: The Awakening devs are apparently eager to move to move to 5.3. Smart move for a quality game.
