Samsai streamed the game for a bit, seemed to like it as well. Thanks for reminding me to wishlist it.

Looks and sounds exactly like a C-64 game... on LSD.

A different setting for an RPG if nothing else.

Almost said "novel setting", then realized the game is actually based on a novel.

Quoting: EikeWhy is this? Aren't mooses vegetarian and should be less interested in attacking you?

Unlike wolves, they're almost as likely to run at you than away from you (cows with calves, bulls in a rut, or just mad bastards, take your pick). And they're huge! They might not try to eat you, but they sure as hell can kick or otherwise pummel your to death.

If I remember correctly, even disregarding moose-related traffic accidents, they cause more deaths and injuries in North America and northern Europe than bears and wolves combined. Of course, there are a lot more of them around, and "more" isn't saying much when the actual numbers are low.

To say something on the actual topic: If survival games didn't stress me out so much, The Long Dark would probably be among the top three on my list.

Quoting: qptain NemoThat depends on what you consider "reality". It's the number of people who are both fairly committed to only playing on Linux most of the time and still interested in the particular game.

Well I for one am so committed that you won't find non-Linux games on my wishlist. Even ones that I'd like to see on Linux.

EDIT: My point is, this only works for Linux gamers who know about this feature, don't mind filtering out Windows games on Steam's front page and don't mind cluttering up their wishlists with games they might never be able to play. That means there's bound to be a lot of potential Linux customers either unknowingly or intentionally missing from that number.

Quoting: edoNow devs will finally realize how really few people are the people making so much noise about linux versions of the games.

Just in case you're not being sarcastic: If they "realize" anything at all based on these numbers, they're idiots. This number won't come close to reflecting reality, partly due to the problems brought up here. If Steam had a proper port wishlist feature, it might help in gauging interest. As it is, developers and publishers would do much better with Linux sales data on current ports of games in their genre/market.

Quoting: tuubiCastlevania: Samsai's Destiny? When?

It's already available. You can get it here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/castlevania-simons-destiny [External Link]

Thanks, but I was asking if Samsai is planning to livestream it at some point, like he did with Brutality and WolfenDoom.

Maybe I should have asked in proper English. But you know, too lazy busy for grammar.

Castlevania: Samsai's Destiny? When?

Gamebook-style games have very little to do with text adventures in the traditional sense. But I guess this one looks like an adventure game of sorts and it involves reading text, so close enough. Personally I'd categorise this one as "multiple-choice roguelite" or something along those lines.

I don't think this solves anything. It might even make things worse, if publishers/devs are stupid enough to think these numbers are a direct indication of interest.

Even if I was in the habit of wishlisting games not available or at least confirmed for Linux, I'd still ignore most of them. And while I've had the filtering option set since it became available, many of you do not (which is fine), and thus do not count as Linux wishlisters.
