A turn-based CRPG that isn't also party-based? Hopefully they can pull it off.

Quoting: Sir_DiealotThe wayland part is what I don't get at all. Is wayland this broken still?

No, Wayland isn't broken. It seems to work just fine for many use cases, otherwise Fedora wouldn't have it as default, and Ubuntu wouldn't be planning on adopting it quite soon. Seems to run nicely on my phone as well.

That said, Wayland is quite a departure from X or other traditional windowing systems, and that trips developers up. Porting software over can be anything but straightforward, and Wine's requirements are not exactly common. I'm sure there's a lot of work still needed to cover every use case. Broken is the wrong word to use in any case.

Quoting: IconicGamesHello Guys!
I just wanted to pop in and answer any questions you may have.

Always nice to see developers stop by. Welcome. :)

Quoting: IconicGamesI saw you guys were interested in DRM free copies and just wanted to ask why it was a deal breaker?

You might find that we Linux gamers are a diverse group of penguins, but most of us tend to value a degree of control over the software we run on our computers. I think the majority are fine as long as our essential software is free and open source and take a more lenient stance when it comes to entertainment like games, but some draw the line elsewhere.

Personally I dislike the games-as-a-service model of Steam, but grudginly accept and use it for the convenience. Others in our community will exclusively buy games on stores like gog.com or itch.io that allow them to "own" the games they buy in a more traditional sense. You can probably see that DRM as a concept is not compatible with this mindset.

Does this make things clearer for you?

PS: Good luck with your game. I won't pledge to a Kickstarter, but I do hope your campaign is successful.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTHaving wine working on Android would be really awesome! I wonder why no one talks about that.

Maybe they do on gamingonandroid.com or equivalent. ;)

Quoting: KelsThe design of the environments oddly reminds me of Stardew Valley.

Nothing odd about it. Neither strays far from the classic JRPG style.

The campy B-movie aesthetic reminds me of the earlier Tex Murphy adventures. Gameplay is different, but if this is half as fun, I'm in.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleI think "O VAIN... etc" is Total War: Rome 2

I thought this one was quite obviously RoTR. Or maybe it's just a tad too obvious.

Quoting: GuestI’d buy Dirt Rally if it wasn’t full of ingame ads.

Unlike all the other licensed sports games? Sponsor ads are sadly part of the experience.

I hate ads but Dirt Rally is totally worth it. You won't have time to look at the ads. You'll be too busy crashing into them and losing a wheel or two.

So it's like a (faux) voxel tech demo? Would it be so hard to think of some optional goals at least to keep players interested? I love exploration in games and I don't mind casual experiences either, but I need something to work towards. I lost interest in pure sandboxes around the time I got too old to play in actual sandboxes. YMMV.

25 levels of pure mishap

Well that sounds unfortunate.

Not sure about the game based on the trailer. I'll be waiting for your review I guess.
