I've heard good things about this series. I sure hope the beta goes well and NIS America is happy with their decision to support our platform. Wouldn't mind seeing more of their stuff on Linux in the future.

Unity's Vulkan support is coming along nicely, but are the PopcornFX folks even working on a Vulkan/SPIR-V backend? They just released their new D3D11 backend last year. Another case of ignorant developer relying on single-platform middleware for their supposedly cross-platform game?

I don't think I'd like the messy combat, even if I'd enjoy the story and the rest of it. I could possibly think of buying it for for a couple of euros in a sale some day and power through it at the lowest difficulty setting or something.

The battles seem messy. They might break the experience for me. I hope you get that review key and prove me wrong. Everything else looks drool-inducingly good.

@rustybroomhandle: run.sh always launches the x86 version for me, despite uname -m returning x86_64. This seems to be due to bash syntax in the script, despite the #!/bin/sh.

Also, looking at the volume sliders, I assume there's supposed to be audio of some sort? I hear nothing at all. No audio errors in the log, just "AudioManager: Using PulseAudio: Default Output Device".

EDIT: Audio works fine. No idea what happened.

Quoting: LeopardI just failed OpenGl dependency.But i cannot see anything about sys reqs at this game's page.

Your Intel Ironlake GPU is so old it isn't likely to support OpenGL 3.2. You should be okay with -force-opengl on the command line, assuming the game wasn't built on the new Unity 5.5.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleThanks all. "Earn living from free games" is the worst business plan though. But whatever - never said I was smart. :P

I think it could work if you don't get too ambitious. Keep the releases nice, short and regular. Build up a buffer of material if possible to give yourself some breathing room. Be absurdly patient. Pretty much the same advice people seem to give aspiring webcomic artists.

But don't take my word for it. As the sad state of my wallet attests, I'm not smart either when it comes to making money.
